    Fellowship of the Witching Hour OOC Thread (Full)

    Absolutely not. Nobody gets to wear the brassiere. I already have dibs, being the Keeper. And intend to wear it on my head throughout. Yes, a description of WASP is in order kouk. I'm assuming its some kind of New York racial purity thing? Attached to this post is a Notepad file that I've...

    Beautifully realised character koukalouris. I think, given the paragraph above, she needs to be a heroine. In my mind's eye she's already a dame. In keeping with the theme or our milieu, the final flight should come to a crashing end in Bermuda I think ;) The plane's still there, grounded in a...

    Citadel of the Iron Crown - Burglars in Mirkwood

    Sorry guys, distracted by the Ceramic DM thing (I shall probably be out this round, so my timing will be better) selling my car in RL and setting up my CoC recruitment thread. These interrogation posts take about thirty minutes to sort out and I was hoping Shay might post so I could do all...

    Indiana Jones & the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull - How to get that feel in an RPG?

    I would intersperse the big, brassy action with lesser, but no less sublime, close up moments. Spielberg does this well. The girl hyperventillating onto a cobweb in War of the Worlds, seconds later Tom Cruise destroying a tripod in spectacular fashion, for example. Beware deux ex machina and the...

    Or just eccentric? A motorbike with sidecar? Now I really must go to bed.

    Planning the first adventure for my next campaign

    Wind based traps? They approach the bridge, spanning a mighty pit filled with razor shards, vicious and obviously there to do the PCs some kind of nasty. But what's the nasty? They'll spend twenty minutes checking the bridge is safe, cross, and halfway over turbines in the walls of the chamber...

    This sounds like the famous ankle sling from Band of Brothers, used by paratroopers on D-Day it invariably snapped when the chute opened. Now we know who the culprit is! Most male authors of the time were. Look at Conan, Tarzan, Sam Spade, Dick Tracy. Women were, at best, there to be ravished...

    EN World Short Story Smackdown - FINAL: Berandor vs Piratecat - The Judgment Is In!

    Man, the time limit on this thing kills! (I should probably point out that I'm tied up the rest of this week, I'm not a serial early-submitter or anything) But I'm pretty happy with it and currently enjoying that creative buzz Piratecat mentioned :) It's a tale with a twist, this time, and too...

    EN World Short Story Smackdown - FINAL: Berandor vs Piratecat - The Judgment Is In!

    The Tale of the Passionate People Eater Caitlin danced, hiding fear behind a flash of pearly teeth and a twirl of copper hair. Tonight, the bad stuff stayed inside her head, along with the past. Outside was Cathy Curves, proud to be big! She writhed and made snake shapes with her hands...

    Urm. What's the accepted word count for a 'long' short story here on CDM? I'm having editing problems.

    I think that's the reason my last story wasn't my best work. I got some blood in my alcohol stream. Oh right, the story...

    Sounds like today's just not condusive to the old creative juices. Let it settle for a while in your own head and come back to it after a gap. The Great Gatsby is a good basis for ideas, though chronologically it's set two decades prior to our game. Some of the themes about war would still slot...

    I have three interested players so far. Plenty of room for more. Any other Enworlders fancy donning their trilby, loading their revolver and stepping out of their comfort zone into a world of tentacular fun? Go ahn, It'll be great! Thanks Greenstar for meating out the background of the...

    Thankyou Herremann The Wise. I have eyeballed the pictures once again, spluttered coffee all over my keyboard and am now ready to come out of the corner where I have been sobbing and rocking for the last ten minutes :) *extends hand for sportsmanlike handshake with no intention of pulling it...

    Arabella sounds good to me: an artist is one of the example occupations given in the character gen chapter so you've hit the perfect note. The background could use some more meat though. Why was she drawn to the idea of the Witching Hour group? She probably heard about it from a friend, or maybe...
