    The Fate of Istus

    Very nice start, airwalkrr. I shall definitely be keeping an eye on this story.

    The Goodman Gang in The Mysterious Tower

    I like it. And as a native, I can confirm that Berkshire is indeed full of berks. Actually, along these lines Liver-pool sounds as if it could be a fairly unpleasant place. :\

    The Goodman Gang in The Mysterious Tower

    Nice (well actually vaguely disgusting in certain places) interlude. :) And that Grimbo sounds a lovely place ... ;)

    The Goodman Gang in The Mysterious Tower

    To be honest, I think you're being a bit hard on yourself. I'm certainly enjoying the storyhour as it is. (But maybe I'm just easy to please. :p ) As regards the players' behaviour, I think it's understandable, both OOC and IC, that when the action's on, they focus on that. Just like a...

    The Goodman Gang in The Mysterious Tower

    Triffic stuff, Goonalan. And for all that I enjoy the sheer madness of the Lost Boys, I think I like the more serious style of this story even more. :D The more mature relationships between the various characters are great. And the Newt/Ala tension is particularly intriguing. Keep up the...

    Al-Qarin: Into the Desert (3-1-24)

    Hurrah!! Great to see you back Eternal Newbie - I hope this means a revival from suspended animation for this thread and (at least slightly) more frequent updates. :D ... especially as I want to know what's going on!

    The Goodman Gang in The Mysterious Tower

    Well comedy certainly isn't my only reason for reading a storyhour - so I hope you keep it going.

    The Goodman Gang in The Mysterious Tower

    Well, having read "Lost Boys" I had to read this storyhour as well. Good stuff Goonalan - may be less madness, but it looks like being very interesting in its own right. I'm looking forward to more ...

    The Lost Boys vs The Sunless Citadel

    Good man. (And for what it's worth, I really do hate Nerys Hughes :p )

    The Lost Boys vs The Sunless Citadel

    I've been reading this over the last couple of days, and thoroughly enjoying it - in its authentic and unexpurgated regional flavour. So, Goonalan, I say, don't succumb to Yankee cultural imperialism - carry on boldly flying the flag for British idiocy ... err, creativity. :D ;) By the way...

    Sense of Wonder: What is it to you?

    For me, I think there are three aspects to the sense of wonder I've felt over the years with RPGs. First, is the one Wik describes - from first encountering the whole idea of RPGs - a totally open-ended game in which I, as a PC, could do (or at least try to do) anything. Obviously, while this...

    Weapon Damage

    I seem to recall that some while ago someone posting on the House Rules forum suggested a similar idea, but with weapon category making some difference and more damage being done with all weapons if you had the martial weapons proficieny feat. It would mean something like: all simple light...

    The Sources of D&D

    Damn!! Well, in my defence it is over 30 years since I read the book. But it leaves me wondering ... I'm sure I read something with winged manticores back then and thought "so that's why D&D manticores have wings" ...

    The Sources of D&D

    Note though that the original manticore did not have wings. The winged version, I think, must have been based on the winged manticores in The Worm Ouroboros by E R Eddison.

    And Conan should have a ??? accent?

    You're welcome. And in the unlikely event that you're intersted, perhaps I should say that it was inspired by the only good thing ever to come from Birkenhead ;) : http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Half_Man_Half_Biscuit
