    Sailors on the Starless Sea

    Narančasta and Siva Noticing the nooks, Narančasta inspects those on his side using the torch to illuminate the interiors. "There are nooks at in the each corner. Check the ones on the other side." Siva slings her bow and takes one of the torches from her bag and lights it off Narančasta's...

On a number of occasions he loses the trail and is forced to backtrack, asking around the people on the street, until he can regain it again. The route taken is tortuous. Fortunately, a warrior, a...

    IC - Mad King's Monkey II

    Day five, before daybreak, in the smoky alley - Round 1 The child figure hurls another object. It arcs through the air before crashing into Bayar and exploding, spattering fluid everywhere which erupts into flame [3DAM, burning]. On the round following a direct hit, the target takes an...

    D&D 5E (2014) Official D&D Basic Discussion Thread

    So I downloaded the Basic Rules a couple of hours ago and skimmed though it. I can't say I had a particularly strong response (positive or negative) either way. I found reading though some of the threads here (things l like, things I didn't, how is this different from X Edition?) more useful...

    IC - Mad King's Monkey II

    Day five, before daybreak, in the streets of the city Jan sniffs the air. Its not regular smoke, the type you get from a camp or hearth fire. It takes a moment, then the bard remembers; alchemical smoke. Bayar, meanwhile, closes up and readies weapons before plunging into the smoke filled...

    D&D 5E (2014) WotC will not allow translation of D&D NEXT.

    I was so going to say that, only in italics (to give it a more foreign feel). thotd

    The Center of Time OOC Discussion

    OK. I have have advanced Wisco, adding one +1 INT Edge and +1 Effort. The first decision was easy, Wisco spends more from his INT pool than any other, and Edge is the gift that just keeps giving. The second decision less so. 4 more pool points would be useful. But I wanted to be able to step...

    Sailors on the Starless Sea

    Siva and Narančasta Narančasta moves slowly thought the hall, torch in one hand, sword in the other. He keeps his distance from the pool, having had more than enough encounters with things that live in pools of slime to last him for a while yet. Unfortunately, he gets the feeling that his...

    Active Game Dungeon World - From the Outside Note: Started on 05 May 2014. A Home-brew Dungeon World Game. Beneath the flashing knives the characters would have died were it not for the intervention of the Witching Troll. Now, for a year and a day, they re-pay the Witching Troll for her...

    IC [DW] From the Outside

    Time - Somewhere in the Monster Kingdom The Witching Troll does not respond to Slice's question at first. Rather, she (he? it?) watches as he struggles to sit. "If being so tall is bothering you, I could make you a shrub instead," she says eventually. "But there are advantages to being a tree...

    OOC - From the Outside

    OK. Sorry. I jumped to a conclusion. I am not adverse to the idea of a geas in principle. But as you said, they can be complex and almost always are flawed in some ways. I wouldn't consider using a geas as a means to compel a player to play (or not play) a character in a particular way. There...

    The Center of Time

    Wisco, a Tough Nano who Lives in the Wilderness. Wisco experiences a shiver that runs down his spine. He is not sure if it is of excitement at having unlocked a piece of the puzzle, or of trepidation at the idea of being "concentrated". Wisco considers what he has seen and what was said...

    IC - Mad King's Monkey II

    Day Five, in the city close to the warehouse district The space between the buildings down which your quarry has disappeared is barely wide enough to be called an alley. It's part access-way to the rear of the shops and the cramped residences behind, part drain for the streets above and part...

    OOC - From the Outside

    No, it is fairly obvious that you don't. You don't get to have your character try and ride roughshod over another character and then blame them for not giving you what you want. Nor am I going to enable the behaviour by undermining GE's right to play Khirynnax as he wishes. It is up to GE to...

    IC [DW] From the Outside

    Time - Somewhere in the Monster Kingdom Slice stands in a clearing. The sun wheels across the sky. It is warm on his skin. He draws strength from it, the nourishing energy flowing through his mighty limbs. The wind rustles as it moves through and around him. It pushes gently against him, but...

    OOC - From the Outside

    I have removed Slice from the scene (but not the game at this stage). I am not sure what to say that hasn't already been said. But I will give it a go. We come together to enjoy gaming. While it nice to see characters given 'life' in the game, IC logic and motivations never override the...

    IC [DW] From the Outside

    Day One - In the Wilderness The armoured warrior is engulfed in a swirling mist that appears from no-where before disappearing, leaving no trace of its presence, nor of Slice. A quiet mocking laughter from half a dozen unseen watchers fills the forest before the laughter too disappears.

    IC - Mad King's Monkey II

    Day Five, early in the morning, in the city close to the warehouse district Libros sees the two hurry into a narrow alley to the left about 65 yards from the junction. On either side there are shops, already beginning their preparations for the day putting out stalls and displays that partially...
