Scene 3 — The Room of Fish and Stars Rinian's stomach turned and he felt twisted and tossed around this blank whiteness. After what seemed like several minutes, Rinian found himself standing on a cold stone flat floor that seemed to extend forever in all directions. The sky consisted both of...

Scene 2 — Awkward Good-Byes The world went white for but a moment in Rinian's eyes before reality quickly situated itself back around him. The merrow seemed to have been startled out of its spell by the crew who had rushed the two. With the music ceased and their reverie ended, the crew mates...

Scene 1 — Song of the Sea The sun beat down on the Star Bearing, just like it did every day. With little more than grunts appropriate of their heavy work load, the crew continued their daily maintenance of the ship, pulling and tying off ropes, adjusting sails and swabbing the poop deck. With...

You may recognize the title 'Cosmic Seafarer' from the Plots & Places forum, where I've posted a similar thread. Basically what's going on is I've started running myself through a solo D&D 4E game (no DM, just me playing) using a couple of systems to support it. If you're interested in reading...

Is Rinian the help of which 'the master' spoke? It seems somewhat likely, as this is a solo game! Yes. Does it have anything to do with the moon or stars? This also seems somewhat likely, given the amount I've focused on that theme so far. Yes. Also, I'm getting sick of not having a pronoun when...

Part 1: Keep on the Æthark — Session 4 Along with Douven Staul, the characters return to Winterhaven. They go to his tall wizard tower, which is quite obvious, come to think of it. He tells them he has a lot of work to do. When they ask if he wants his package, he seems excited to be reminded...

Yeah, and any rules on cropping/coloring? And, as I said in last week's thread . . . it would be really great if you got the previews for your publisher art on RPGNow to work :) ~

With the story and character generated, I'll move away from the randomness of Instant Game and name generators to the Mythic Game Master Emulator product. I'm going to try to include enough Mythic mechanics for readers to follow along with what choices I'm making, and what's being randomly...

Well they're obviously not balanced against the rest of 4E . . . but are they balanced against each other? My first impulse is to say that the monstrous races are better, and I would have trouble turning down those ability score bonuses . . . but the extra encounter power and crazy doubling up...

Warning! This section is all boring character creation! It has nothing to do with the story, plot, Instant Game, or Mythic. This is just me making my character and all the rambling that goes along with it. Read at your peril. Well I was going to generate my character in 'silence', then start...

Cosmic Seafarer — 4E Solo game using Instant Game and Mythic GM Emulator I'm not sure if this is the correct forum, as I'm not really sure how to define what I'm doing here. Mods feel free to move this thread to whatever you find appropriate, although I'd like to maintain some visibility in...

* * * * * Part 1: Keep on the Æthark — Session 3 The players go further and further into the ruins, searching buildings and rubble, but finding nothing that hasn't been scavenged or eroded in the last one hundred years since the city was destroyed. Eventually they come to a point where they...

Okay, so it's taken me a really long time to post up this part 2. I realized it's primarily because converting a session into an interesting story with good dialogue and whatnot is daunting . . . so I decided just to describe everything with tiresome exposition :) It's pretty dry, I know, but...

No. I'll probably be pulling a lot from standard D&D resources, and just reskinning as necessary, or else just rationalizing with a 'the multiverse is big' explanation. For example, there are no gnolls in M:tG, but one of the PCs is a gnoll . . . oh well! EDIT: Wait, do you mean a D&D...

Well you could grab dragonkin from MM or Draconomicon and make elite versions, then call them dragons. If you turn solo dragons into elite versions, make sure to take away some of their free multiple attacks, as the solo versions are supposed to have an entire party's of monsters amount of...

What you've presented here is not WotC's definition of core. This may be your interpretation of what 'core' should mean, or the way your group runs things, but Wizards has repeatedly stated that everything is core. I don't think that this is necessarily a way to 'trick' players into buying...

You should check out the Aberrant Blood sorcerer from Silent7Seven Games. Not a warlock, but eh ;) More on topic . . . a level 4 rogue in my campaign regularly does 20-30 damage. The barbarian does around 20, but did 60+ with an avalanche strike crit. My level 3 warlock in a different campaign...

I tried voting for none of them, but it wouldn't let me. ~

Watch over 9000 movies where characters speak with the accent you want to 'learn'. If you want to meld different accents and/or dialects, watch over 9000 movies of each. Then you should have gotten the hang of it. . . . Some people get accents and voices easily; some people don't. I think...

My main feedback right now is, "Where's the multiclass feat?" I mean . . . why not include it? It would help playtesting the multiclass monk (especially as someone previously mentioned, with how full disciplines will interact with the process.) Also, I really like the name 'Centered Breath'...
