    If you heard the term "crunch renaissance"...

    The problem with starting a Crunch Renaissance (Crunchneissance?) is that you need to look at why it failed in the first place. New players: I get people into the room, down to the table, and they look at the pre-made character sheets. Then the crying starts. It's too much for new players...

    Sailors on the Starless Sea

    Alaric thinks before speaking. "I would like to see the other entrance before judging. Those stone blocks look haphazardly placed, and should one fall it would undoubtedly whoever of our number is still climbing. We don't know if the other route is less stable, perhaps it would be better to...

    Sailors on the Starless Sea

    Alaric nods to Narancasta, and gives a stern look to the newmade Page. He and the others have returned with a handful of torches, two for each of them; a flint and steel; a 50ft length of rope; a sack; and a flask of oil. Alaric speaks quietly with Narcasta: "This village is poor at the best...

    Taxman: hah! Yeah, I don't have the book yet, for equipment prices, either. I'll be getting it and a selection of adventures on March 1st, however! :D btw: Jack Vance is a really overly-flowery writer. Dialogue is terrible, use of words like "avaunt!" and "circumspectitude" is fine...

    The Center of Time

    Duncan stops and takes a few steps back up the stairs; his mind immediately worries there's some kind of scrambling field or something similar that targets cyphers. "My implants... are itching... is there some... kind of trap?" He grunts out the words through the nausea, a sensation he hasn't...

    The Center of Time

    Duncan moves down the steps quickly, keeping up with Echo, and draws his greatsword.

    Question: starting equipment is what we rolled, but once we start the game we could use anything we get our hands on, right? So would it be fair game to roll Personality at the villagers for donations? Like, old armor, cloaks, rope, torches, oil, ten foot pole, etc.? Or do you want us to...

    The Center of Time

    Duncan considers the rod in his hand, so like another... "I think I can implant myself with this. The problem is... the mind controlling this place, controlling the abhumans... either the who place has its own machine-mind, or else it's slaved to Echo. That means I'd be slaved to it, or to...

    yeah, it may have been a bad idea to name these goldfish... who are you hoping survives?

    I like that! Alaric is going to go Wizard, if he survives. I see him as from a good family with connections in their own right. He's likely with Narancasta so he can see the world, and he's a very fast learner, and not stronger than an average man. That said, Narancasta's gear as never...

    Sailors on the Starless Sea

    Borok the dwarven blacksmith sat in the pew of the temple of Law, grumbling and polishing his hammer with his long white beard's tip. "No good can come of us tampering with those evil ruins. You fools will unleash evil upon us all!" He growled at the collected assembly. "No doubt in my...

    Alaric, Dudles, Zim and Borok on the way! And Zim, the halfling Dyer, is clearly the most mischievous of the halfling brothers/siblings. His constant pranks tend to get the other halflings in trouble. Dudles is a parsnip farmer, not a turnip farmer. Dunno if that could work into the rivalry?

    The Center of Time

    I figured that Duncan somehow got the ability to carry it himself, or at least keep it in his backpack. The problem is that he doesn't know anyone in the party well. He met them in a pub, then we've gone off for a few days. The device was used for years to make him kill innocents and monsters...

    Like Forum roller? [roll0] [roll1] could work.

    The Center of Time

    "You think you're fooling the people up there, that if they don't know they won't get hurt. People deserve the truth. This isn't a game." Duncan rumbles at the "good father" with more than a hint of irritation. To Wisco, "Agreed. Though I'm considering using the rod I took off the dead...

    Uploaded! My parsnip farmer, my halfling Dyer, and my Dwarf could all be related to the ones posted just above them! I'm really hoping my Squire makes it. I'll play it smart!!!

    Good call! I just blasted through a bunch of 4d6ers and they weren't ideal. Fewer 6s, but still.

    Okay, I've got two great options for the randomly-generated four. 1) Tax Collector (great stats, Int could be higher, but still: fun playing the Sheriff of Nottingham for a bit); plus a woodcutter, a physically disabled soldier, and a con man. 2) Twins separated at birth: one a Noble with...
