    [OT]Would you be interested in group writing fiction?

    I'm there. I'm wondering this: Is there going to be some form of predetermining plotline, or characters? Because it springs to mind that one writer might well kill off a character another writer would like alive. Now, please, don't take this as criticism or as hijacking your idea, but: I've...

    Ice, Luck and Honour

    Well, to be honest, the remainder of the campaign is largely above ground - beyond this point I can remember Milo using the expanding trick about once or twice. Although he does take every opportunity to use the aqualish, of course. Almost every magic item you'd term as "odd" would go straight...

    One Thousand Ways to Freak Out Your Players

    Not sure if this one has been done. 508: At the end of the last session, make sure that you emphasize that you thought it was the greatest session you, and your players have ever done. In the next session, you DM an exact replica of the previous session - even the date, time and characters...

    Campaign of DM Cthulu Ftaghn

    No, Its just I can't help but think Bruce Campbell when I see that stance. I guess thats the problem with nicking a pose from a cult actor... :( But hey. I now see Gann-Tolar as Bruce, so I guess it worked after all (and anything Bruce kinda guarantees readership from me). All you need now is...

    Promises to Keep

    Great stuff, the diary style of writing really helps to drag you into the world - you get a real impression of the pressure that the characters are under (and this is just the start!). Is the Ossington map from an adventure pack? I can't remember the town from anywhere... :confused:

    Ice, Luck and Honour

    Part 4 of 4 Torious staggered back as more blows rained down from the banedead claws. His skin shredded and with very little healing power left, Torious uselessly waved Justicar in front of him. The banedead closed swiftly for the kill, and with a single claw swipe, scattered the useless...

    Ice, Luck and Honour

    Part 3 of 4 Thalin turned and went to speak to Milo, but he only screamed at the bewildered halfling and began to fall as a black-feathered bolt whistled into the back of his right knee and exploded through the kneecap in a wet burst of blood and bone. “Your time is ended mage. I have come...

    Ice, Luck and Honour

    Part 2 of 4 Thalin, Milo, Dariel and Isplit all sat hunched in silence as the aqualish made its steady course across the bed of the lake. At certain points sediment had covered the tracks, but the aqualish seemed quite content to work without the rails. The four travellers could do nothing...

    Ice, Luck and Honour

    Edit: Before you read this, chapter six consists of four parts because it was way too long as one post. So grab yourself a coffee and set aside half an hour, there's a lot to read! And now, without further ado... [Edit]Edited into past tense on 19th September 2004[Edit] Ice, Luck and Honour...

    Doom from Below: The Illithid Ascension (Last Updated: 1-1-03)

    ka-bump. Great writing... although I have to say I want the Illithids to win - I'm just a sucker for their big, innocent eyes. When is the next installment?

    The Akeema Story Hour - Following the Adventure Path Series (Updated April the 11th)

    Music to my ears! Superb writing by the way, I got a great image of the girl standing on the rocks with ash raining down around her.

    Ice, Luck and Honour

    If you checked on this post and were looking for an update, I'm sorry, chapter 6 has taken a little longer to write than I thought (primarily because today I DM'd the latest Fire, Fate and Shadow chapter and planning that has taken some time). The next account will be on these boards by tomorrow.

    Piratecat's Updated Story Hour! (update 4/03 and 4/06)

    [Spider crumples to the floor, having read everything about the Defenders available in the last two days - and finally finishes] First of all, and It's been said many times before, it's great to see a high-level party of adventurers played and DM'd so well - keeping the characters down to earth...

    Campaign of DM Cthulu Ftaghn

    Yup. That hits the spot. Surrounded by evil and low on gas.... maybe. Love the weretiger stuff by the way, always fun to have a furry time bomb in the party.

    Any interest in mini-epic comicbook style Story Hour?

    No, not with pictures, sorry. But I was toying with the idea of writing it as a film script, although not sure what sort of response that would get. As I said in an above post, I'd like to get some more Ice, Luck and Honour done before I start writing this (or at least scrounging around for my...

    Right. Just finished reading the Early Years (all in one go mind you). Now onto the main thre....... [Spider slumps onto the desk, fast asleep]

    [Dangerously OT] Who would you choose?

    Hmmm... I've only read the first one, but his familiars-for-everyone concept is fantastic. I'd like to see him do some more writing for a more mature audience - it seemed like he was pulling punches at times - although the book was good. Anyway. Thats my thoughts.

    Ice, Luck and Honour

    [Spider looks up from his writing, and seeing a snarling person shouting at him to write faster, waves a hand in the air and speaks an arcane verse. With a dull ripple around johnnygolastly's head, all is silence (targeted - DC unimaginable). Spider gets back to writing.] :D 2 days then

    Ice, Luck and Honour

    I'd lend you my goggles of speed reading +3, but Cormyr charge abyssal postage fees... The next installment (Duel of Shadows), will be finished in about 2 days time (and then maybe another day for editing)... hope you can catch up in time. I'm trying to keep a regular chapter posting about...

    How Do You Run a Good Campaign?

    I'll be very quick... 1. Flesh out the game world. If the adventurers are offered a job and they turn it down, let them see a different party taking it. 2. Recurring villains. You must do this well... make sure they can get away when they need to. Fight on their terms. Be evil. The more evil...
