    The trends of 2005

    My predictions: D&D will continue to be big. And maybe even grow a little. I don't see Castles and Crusades being very popular. The breakout hit will be D20 Apocalypse.

    'The Perilous (Chapter I, II, III, IV)

    Belok and the resat of the group go over to examine the door. Delmar and Liliana can both tell (no roll needed) that there are symbols of a magic circle against evil here- one that would have stymied planar outsiders for a while anyway, and left them unable to teleport to the other side of the...

    Troll the Ancient Yuletide Carol...

    I have a "mini-campaign world" called Snowglobe that I was using around the holidays in 2000 (I prepped it briefly for a big return in 2001 but then 9/11 happened and I lost interest in gaming for a while). Anyhow, the whole point of Snowglobe is that it's a genie prison set in one of those...

    Worst character concepts

    Probably the worst concept I ever allowed in a real game was the blind 1st level paladin. I was prepared to allow for some blind-sensing and everything as a compensation for his concept and everything but the guy ended up being (not surprisingly) a really whiny control freak and a bad...

    'The Perilous (Chapter I, II, III, IV)

    Slight addendum: Although Delmar cannot be sure (i.e. he rolled low), evidence is certainly mounting that these two were in fact devils. Or demons. But most likely devils. They weren't locals, anyhow.

    Human Dominance

    Because they get an extra feat and 4 extra skill points! Duh! Ok, seriously- it's up to each individual campaign how dominant humans are. In my campaign, humans are practically nonexistent.

    How do you handle character creation?

    We usually half-assedly coordinate character creation online- just the basics like "I think I'll want to try out a rogue for once" or "I guess we'll need a cleric.." And then everyone brings (supposedly) a finished or mostly finished charcter to the first session and we fix em'up a little. In...

    'The Perilous (Chapter I, II, III, IV)

    OOC: NOT so fast..! these are infernal wounds. They resist even the power of magical cures! (this only applies to the wounds on Belok and Thane). The cure check goes off successfully against Thane and the wound knits just fine. While Delmar is curing Thane, Belok continues to bleed. (and...

    'The Perilous (Chapter I, II, III, IV)

    This description goes concurrent to whatever healing efforts are being made. You can look at the map. Looking around the front room.. the entrance room is a sort of reception area, and it looks to be the most badly trashed. In the far room there is another table and chairs and some stacks...

    (reposting of initiative) Liliana 25 Bearded Devils 19 Sher Farhid 18 Delmar 15 Thane 10 Phelen 6 Belok 5 Liliana draws her scimitar and moves south, sealing off the devil's only easy escape. She slashes at the beast and misses, unfortunately with her blade. "I'll be back.. you haven't seen...

    How many game books on your shelf have you never used?

    Because of the modular natureof d20 stuff I've probably used a little bit from most of my books- a feat here or a spell there... I actually went and looked. I can actually list a few things I have never used: the DC Universe d6 rulebook, Deadlands d20, Orkworld, Nephilhim, and Weird Wars...

    DM Forcing Characters on Players

    I have mixed feelings. For a short term camapign it wouldn't be bad. I would never- as a DM- impose this on players myself, though. I really believe you should get the character you really want to play as a philosophy. I have heard of GM's that I like and admire doing this and I have heard...

    (reposting of initiative) Liliana 25 Bearded Devils 19 Sher Farhid 18 Delmar 15 Thane 10 Phelen 6 Belok 5 Liliana backs up until she is against the north wall and launches another pair of crackling orbs of eldritch power. These both launch erratically at the bearded devil facing Delmar and...

    (reposting of initiative) Liliana 25 Bearded Devils 19 Sher Farhid 18 Delmar 15 Thane 10 Phelen 6 Belok 5 Liliana whirls to face the teleporting devil. Speaking with such destain she utters, "So you think it is safer to retreat over here do you? Well you might have misjudged me, you are about...

    'The Perilous (Chapter I, II, III, IV)

    OOC- just to Thane/Lobo Lurker: 1) I do the roll on invisible castle in another window and copy the link shortcut. (right click, select copy shortcut). 2) I type the description part of what happened in the Enworld post. Then I highlight the part I want to be the link and select the 'link'...

    'The Perilous (Chapter I, II, III, IV)

    OOC to Delmar- yes, the damage done to these creatures seems like it's being reduced. OOC to Liliana- you are threatened by the other devil's glaive. Do you want to cast defensively or move first? You have initiative before the devil so it would be easy enough.

    (reposting of initiative) Liliana 25 Shadowy figures 19 Sher Farhid 18 Delmar 15 Thane 10 Phelen6 Belok 5 Liliana casts a scorching ray - a silvery beam of pure light-- which seems to strike the first of the bearded figures, but then inexplicably bends at the last second, glancing harmlessly...
