Uh... insecurity is setting in. Does my avatar show - It shows up for me but I always thought it was a bit high-res for an avatar... Neurosis complete! [Spider has a seizure of paranoia]

Good point. I know exactly what this is like - my story hour takes place there. Its great fun, but when you need to let rip with the darker plot aspects, it never really comes across fully. I was wondering about Kalamar as I'm looking for another setting to peruse through (although I'm thinking...

Good writing! Its a refreshing change to see a Kalamar campaign making a run on the boards. I'm sure this has run in the discussion boards already but, what do you see as Kalamar's advantages (and disadvantages) over other settings? I'm enjoying trying to remember what all the Kalamar gods...

I just read through this and I'm enjoying it so far. And don't be so downhearted at the lack of response... all story hours take a while to get going (and there are a great deal of readers who don't log on, and they are probably reading...). Couple of things though... Make sure you go over...

Thank you for the support, and all your kind words. The circumstances he left in were troubled to say the least. The woman (a Rashemi witch played by another player) he was so stubbornly in love with, had earlier that day encouraged advances on her by a towns guard. Gideon, in all his useless...

Yep. This story rules. Good magic item thinking aswell. I like that spectral dagger - and the necklace kinda took me by suprise. Nice to see a character slapped around so early on. Could i ask... how many are in the gaming group, and as you said you have two new additions... does this mean...

... today, at roughly 4:32pm, Gideon Rhuul was pronounced dead. He was a cleric of Selune (Level 5 cleric/Level 1 mystic wanderer). He died saving the remainder of the party. It was the first adventure since we got sucked into Ravenloft. He was surrounded by 8 wolfweres, most of which got full...

Hey cthuluftaghn, are you doing any more of these, or has Zachary lost interest? Great idea by the way (only just got round to reading this Story Hour today), it really puts us cynics to shame. Made me laugh out loud when Whitefire just hurled that shuriken at the Kuo-Toa... one moment he was...

526: In the middle of a mage duel, have the evil Necromancer draw twin magnums of champagne and a lovely little coffee table. Make friends.

521: After having your major bad guy killed, have a session full of paranoia where the PC's are hunted by mysterious stalkers who wait in the shadowy darkness. Then when the players go home, pay off some criminals to break into their homes and scare the **** out of them. Tell the criminals to...

You don't need any advice. Your style is your style, and from what I've read, its all good. In particular, I loved the thieve's maze thing and the Sweeps HQ. The thieves maze thing was just well written (even though a little cliche - but hey, just call it classic) and I got a quick grip of the...

[Spider curses himself for not having the gall to ask that in his first post] It's a pleasure to see people like Aleax and Morningstar brought to life exactly as I imagined them when I was reading - I now wish I hadn't given up painting when I started university. Ack. Spider.

Vistani Blood Coin from Ravenloft. Somehow a blood coin (no need to explain why of course) has found its way into one of the pockets of the characters. Vistani Blood Coins invoke a curse that bring bad luck and misfortune on the person who bears it (not the whole group) - and eventually the...

Huzzah! Great idea. I vote for this. We don't need some cosmic item, just something which can pass between people. good stuff. "Keep it secret. Keep it safe."

This art is superb! Wonderful style to it. This is exactly how DnD art should be. Although I've always imagined Velendo as slightly different to that (being my favourite character and all - I'll never get over that use of the Miracle in one of the latest sessions). Spider.

These are all worthwhile ideas, but this is getting too complicated. Lets keep it simple. The simpler it is, the more space the writer has to expand and add depth. I suggest this, seeing as this is the first collective Story Hour here. 1 group - its about 15 now, yes? 1 story, because it is...

Thrust the stone into the heart of Lathander (perhaps asking a little too much). Or thinking about it - cast the stone into the sun. Bathe the stone in the lifes blood of a solar of Selune and a solar of lathander. This is a great way to bring about the destruction of something evil - give the...

I'm sorry to say I didn't catch the story first time round, but I'm certainly pleased that I've read this one through. The Steampunk setting is fantastic - I've wanted to see what (and if) a steampunk campaign would run like... if your stuff is anything to go by, then it works pretty well. :)...

Word limit? World setting? Level? Number of characters in the group? Main villains? etc etc. Or maybe we don't plan and just go with it. Although if we had three stories in rotation it would be really cool because we all get a hand in three different settings. Anyway. Let the ideas role...

Okay then. Going with the item as the story focal point: The item could either be sentient or maybe sought after by a certain persons. This would give the characters that this item falls into a definite enemy (although of course add in whatever else you want) - this would add another grounding...
