One of our new characters is trying to build a Gunsmith Ranger and we're having a disagreement about reloading. The Ammunition Clip gives a weapon 5 or 6 shots before it has to be reloaded. Then it also says reloading is now a minor action (or free with Speed Loader). I was thinking it needed...

We're still getting a lot of play out of 4e. We played through one campaign to 30th level, took 9 months off and now we're working our way through the 4e version of Zeitgeist. When that's done, there are a few 4e ideas i'd like to play around with before I think about 5e. So... in about 3 years...

They took it well. I warned them on Facebook the week before the first session of this two-parter that their characters were about to go into a deadly situation, and (being Zeitgeist rather than regular 4e), they might find themselves in unwinnable positions if they weren't careful. I told them...

I'll edit out the quote of you. I don't have time to do the assigned reading. Will this affect my grade?

People always seem to do the Pathfinder vs D&D math wrong. "Pathfinder is all in one book!" "D&D tries to sell us three books, effectively tripling the price of entry!" Except the Pathfinder Core Rulebook does not have monsters. The Pathfinder Bestiary is equivalent to the Monster Manual. So...

Last known photograph of RHC Headquarters A picture of the layout right after Sijhen escaped.

New Characters We need to take three weeks off due to work (mine) and a wedding (not mine). In the interrim, Mort and Malkie's players are working on two new characters: Coniglietta di Mezzaluna, a Human Paladin Spirit Medium, formerly of Crissilyir, who was previously charged with corralling...

This is the End The world was turning solid again. Xambria lay dying on the floor of the under-construction subrail tunnel. IronPeak was being controlled by Sijhen, working a golden plate engraved with concentric rings, each representing a planet. Cazara was being systematically pushed away...

The crazy just keeps on coming. Here's the crater I just drew on our big poster map of Flint:

Awesome. Thanks. Rules question: Vekeshi Excoriant's Live for Vengeance says that it causes a Death Save failure, "so it can only be used twice per encounter." There are several ways to not die from three failed death saves. One of them is to be in a party with an Eschatologist. I believe...

Not sure how far along this version is in its editing cycle, but there are 32 instances of "page xx" still wandering around the document.

This Just Got Real Reality was pulsing in and out of solidity in the Royal Homeland Constabulary Headquarters, on about a thirty-second cycle. Every thirty seconds, there was a short period where anyone could walk right through the walls and floors, which became transparent during this time...

My group is close to finishing up Digging for Lies. When I backed the Kickstarter, I was hoping the Act One compilation ("shipping in January!") would be out in time to use the Crypta Hereticarum dungeon along with Always on Time. What are the chances of this happening?

To Seal, part 2 The constables took the new information from Xambria and Finona and had some decisions to make. Cazara and IronPeak immediately mocked the name of the organization they seemed to have uncovered. “Obscurati? Like Obscura and Illuminati? Seriously?” Mort argued for just traveling...

To Seal, part 1 The constables interviewed tiefling archaeologist Finona Duvall. She told them that she was doing contract work for Monsieur Caius Bergeron. The constables informed Finona that her patron had been murdered, and that the constables were here in pursuit of the murderer, Xambria...

To Sea! The constables headed out to sea in pursuit of their quarry, Xambria Meredith, who seemed to be either possessed or otherwise controlled by whatever had escaped from the ziggurat. She seemed to be headed to some nautical coordinates off the coast of Ber, and while she had a head start...

A Goliath Goes to a Party... The next day, the constables followed up on the lead Cazara and IronPeak had turned up from going through the files at Goodson’s Estuarial Reformatory. Most of the cases of Distant Madness in the city were connected to a neighborhood along the Stanfield Canal. Using...

I made up a Roger Porter card for my group, which helped to foster confusion. (which, sure, could be one of the Red Herrings) The extra page for the handouts could be the planets. I put them off to the side of my poster map, and it's helped the players keep that info straight. Of course, that...
