    Citadel of the Iron Crown - Burglars in Mirkwood

    Events unfold in time. The camp soon becomes a hive of twilight activity as word quickly spreads of the burglary and the three escapees. Aerec returns to the camp just as Ulfang and Aurvandil are deciding what to do with their unconscious quarry... Gellion nods urgently "yes foreman Baran!"...

    Worst role-playing experience?

    And we haven't even had the Brazilian death squad guy post yet. Although essentially that wasn't a game ending experience as far as I know. In fact, if memory serves, the psychotic goons, corrupt cop and seedy prostitutes thoroughly enjoyed themselves and the DM went on to enjoy many more games...

    my ideal system

    With regard to D&D you might find the Rules Compendium useful in cutting down the sheer bookage and page turning. It covers most core issues in lesser detail, so once you're familiar with the fundamentals you can keep it around and refer to it very quickly. At 160 pages its a featherweight...

    Gaming Props - What do you use?

    Polystyrene makes quite nice boulders or ruins if you break it up.

    Citadel of the Iron Crown - Burglars in Mirkwood

    Ulfang and Aurvandil will discover the female burglar really is unconscious. She isn't faking. Ulfang can disarm her without problems. Would quite like to pause at this point in order to give Binder_Fred a chance to post. Once Aerec returns we'll be close enough to round 6 for Aranel to arrive...

    Citadel of the Iron Crown - Burglars in Mirkwood

    Aerec barges his way through bush and branch, thorny twigs and nettles slashing at his face and hands, uneven ground and tangled roots threatening to trip him up as he runs. Ahead, through the dense green and growing darkness, he can still see the three burglars, dashing with greater ease than...

    Citadel of the Iron Crown - Burglars in Mirkwood

    "What's going on there?" Bellows Granthan, a large and officious member of the camp and one of several who are approaching now. Most who know Granthan know he secretly desires Baran's post as foreman and has a high standing with traders in Lake-Town and Dale. The Man strides purposefully toward...

    Eve of Mirkwood [Full]

    Which variant class druid is this? Just the basic variant (swap Wild Shape for Swift and Deadly Hunter) or the avenger variant? I noticed in your background he's quite vengeful. Personally I would make some adjustments in this respect. I think the game has enough fighters and...

    Worst role-playing experience?

    Is this thread turning into 'creepiest person I ever roleplayed with?' Cool: El creepiest guy was at college and we will refer to him as Lord of War. He refereed a Paranoia game and about five of us played. Two were RPG novices, so god only knows what they made of gaming after that. To set...

    Citadel of the Iron Crown - Burglars in Mirkwood

    The burglar's hood has fallen back, revealing a female face, similar to that of the other intruders. Soft and broad cheeked but with pinched nose, and chin, all framed by tight ringlets of brown hair. Her lips are painted with a bright scarlet dye of some sort and a strange curly rune is scribed...

    Dice Questions?

    Ha. Funny as I was going to ask if you had one of those. My YGN die is particularly precious to me as I didn't attend GenCon, due to the fact I live in the UK and couldn't afford air fare. I asked for the guys at Expeditious Retreat Press to send me one in the mail (I wrote for Forever People...

    Citadel of the Iron Crown - Burglars in Mirkwood

    Aerec is on foot in the woods, Aurvandil (knight of Gondor) is on horseback. "I'll handle him," Baran piles in, grabbing for flailing limbs, for thinness of neck. "You go!" Ulfang relinquishes his iron-like grip from the hapless burglar. "I was gentle compared to the dwarf, little one." Ulfang...

    Eve of Mirkwood [Full]

    My sincere apologies Fenris. I've been absolutely snowed under at work this week and haven't had time what with the game being afoot. I have a five day weekend starting today (yay) so I'll have time to look your character sheet over soon. Please also see my apology note in the IC thread (for all...

    Citadel of the Iron Crown - Burglars in Mirkwood

    OOC: Str bonus? Do you normally add the Str mod to unnarmed strikes? I always thought that was melee *weapons* only. Have I been playing it wrong all this time?? Oh geez. I just wanted to apologise for my fairly sub-standard DMing of mechanics in this game so far. It's true I've been out of...

    Citadel of the Iron Crown - Burglars in Mirkwood

    Yuurs, but why is Binder_Fred rolling 1d3 is my confusion? I realise its an [edit: damage] roll, but that should be 1d2 for an unnarmed strike?? I suspect I'm missing something blindingly obvious. Edit: ok, blindingly obvious- dwarves are medium, not small, so 1d3 unarmed strike damage...

    Ideas for an adventure

    A method I use sometimes when my creative juices run dry is to put on a CD and listen to music, then extrapolate an adventure from the lyrics. It sounds goofy but it works quite well and leads to some very unorthodox games. It's not an original idea, I forget where I got it from. Probably a...
