I appreciate it. :) Unfortunately I need time more than I need inspiration these days. I'm on a new contract which is causing its own problems. Add to that the holidays, lots of recent snow, and finishing up the conversion for the third book and there hasn't been a whole lot. :( That...

Would you like a peek behind the scenes? My players, stay away. Shoo. Move along, there's nothing to see. :D All others can go here to see a few villains that the party has yet to meet.

The bloody conversion on book 3 is way too long. Darn near done though. In the meantime, here's a link to where I posted the two main bad guys. Thoughts, suggestions, and comments are most welcome. <edit: for the record - it's a 106 pages, 10pt Times New Roman - though with plenty of spacing...

Darlakanand - Mad Crazy And here's the derro who's instigating the epic magic. As near as I can figure, a 3HD creature with 18 caster levels qualifies for the Epic Spellcasting feat - which seems to only require 21+ HD and the ability to cast 9th level spells. Again, comments? Darlakanand...

Aboleth Grand Savant anyone? Here's the main bad guy in the module. Comments? Grand Savant; Male Aboleth Cleric3/Wizard5/Mystic Theurge10; CR 27; Gargantuan Aberration (Aquatic, Water); HD 24d8+168 plus 3d8+21 plus 5d4+35 plus 10d4+70; hp 427; Init +1; Spd 0ft., swim 60ft.; AC 18 (-4 size, +1...

Ditto Lela. Meanie. :D Nope. But I wouldn't have said it first. :p Creation is always harder than destruction - or at least de-construction. Besides if you add up all the time that all the people spend reading, then you'll quickly get your couple days back. Heck, thank You. It's been...

Cool. :D I haven't been updating as often as I'd like and I keep sinking to page 3 or so within just a day or two. I'd curse Piratecat, Sep, and Destan, but then it might stop them from posting. ;) Ah well. Thanks for responding Capellan. It's good to know this isn't wasted.

Leaving Corlean And so it came to pass that the Order of the Victorious Dragon proudly announced a Day of Celebration within the city of Corlean. It was to be a day of welcoming and thanksgiving as a son of the lost Order of the Sundering Sword was returned to the Empire. As the last member...

Just a note to let folks know I'm working on the next update. Hopefully by tomorrow at the latest. Just out of curiosity I know a couple of my players are reading this SH, is anyone else still out there?

A nice bit of logic. I follow it and nearly agree with it. In the case of derro I have to believe it's an omission by mistake as opposed to design. I can't prove it though. I did note that very few creatures seem to list 'Type' traits. Elementals, constructs, and undead seem to, but a quick...

Derro are Monstrous Humanoids. According to the type description that means they get 60ft. Darkvision as a trait. <edit: that comment didn't come out the way I wanted it too>

Monster Manual - page 311/312 - Movement Modes Under fly it explicitly states that creatures with a fly speed can move through the air at the listed speed if carrying no more than a light load. I believe in 1e/2e this was also the case. The text can be interpreted that the flying creature can...

1. The conversion should be done as exactly as possible for race, class, level, and magic. If the module calls for 20 orcs - put them in. It sounds harsh, but it allows a DM to more easily customize the conversion for his/her own game. If you were to lower the encounter strength for your...

This will probably get moved into the computer/gaming forum, but... If the game truly uses the 3.x ruleset then the frequent rests are about right. 3rd edition was specifically designed for characters to burn through about 20% of the party's resources on any given encounter that was equal to...

The Days in Corlean Where to begin? That’s a heck of a question. Perhaps at the front gates… The sun wasn’t down yet, but it wasn’t going to be long before darkness overtook the city for another evening. Fortunately there was no line at the gates of the city as the five friends approached...

Welcome to Corlean Five days had passed since the foray into Garlstone mine. The kidnapped Semheis was not found but a lair of Treshans had been routed. It was a mixed victory at best but no one felt up to pursuing the Treshan who had fled from the fight. The constant fighting had left them...

Well, if it doesn't attract monsters then the shrieker shouldn't be worth anything. Smart monsters will use shriekers as early alarms though - and if that's the case the shrieker just changed the encounter from a bunch of unaware monsters to monsters who are now alert that trouble is on the...

You might want to check out Urban Aracana, a d20 modern source book. IIRC they have a rule set for incantations that seemed to follow the model of epic spell creation. These incantations duplicated baneful polymorph as well as a few others and it used a spell-seed sort of system. This is all...

After I caught the discrepancy I assumed the same thing. The players just found that out this Sunday. They thought they were going to see illithids and instead found derro. heh. As for the mindless hackfest, I ran it as is, but interrupted it with a side adventure in the middle of it all...

Hmmm. Just noticed something while running the third book. In case it wasn't obvious to other folks (it wasn't to me) - the map that Aljayera gives the party of the Sunless Sea is somewhat inaccurate. I didn't notice it until I compared the two side-by-side shortly after giving it to the...
