steeldragons - So, you wouldn't think it's evil of someone to steal, say, a check written out to you that you'd endorsed and cash it? That's not just unlawful, it's plain wrong. It's an evil action (and a mean-spirited one--it's definitely awful behavior and, yeah, not good etiquette--not...

I used to name all of my adventures things that (at least I thought) were fun. My favorite is still "The Ministry of Love" (two PCs visit the scene of the murder of their student who had been confined to a criminal asylum for supers after a sudden attack of cannibalism, and discover that one of...

I find that, as a DM, that being consistent in my rulings and punctual to my own sessions typically helps my players forgive my other sins. Being willing to work with players to accomplish the goals they have for their PCs, and helping their PCs each shine in their roles, makes my players happy...

Theft is (generally) an evil act, IMO, and certainly evil when you're stealing (out of selfishness) something from a teammate or good-aligned individual. That's not to say that a rogue picking locks for the party is evil, nor is he evil for lifting the key (and purse) of the dreadful prison...

If you're going to use Buddhism as a basis, though, there is already a "rescuer" role built in: the Bodhisattva, the merciful one who postpones her own enlightenment in order to help others attain enlightenment. For example, in Japan, you have Kannon. She is also known as Guanyin...

My favorite bad PC name is one I use a lot in videogames, actually. "Solution Pitch." I've varied it: for Persona games, which are Japanese RPGs, I've gone with "Picchu Sorushun" and for MMOs where almost every name is taken, "Solushun" worked fine! One at a tabletop I used to go to was...

When I started gaming online, I learned that many of the people I played with didn't speak/write English natively. It was also a pretty awesome way to get to know about many countries I never dreamed of visiting in reality. I still keep up with many of those people, even though we don't play...

Well, since last time, Agniprava's player and I have received our masters degrees and two other players are applying to grad school. We've all had number of family events during my two month update break, leading to a month without any play. Now that I'm catching up with our campaign logs, I...

Eeee! I'm so excited! I bet this latest entry was even more atmospheric at the table. That's pretty cool. Totally gonna borrow some of that, I think. And find out what's in Sagiro's coffee, because that's what I should be drinking.

Wow, that's amazing. Great job, guys! StevenAC, your collection of this SH is what got me into it; the thread itself was intimidating initially--so thanks for putting the meat of the story together so wonderfully for us casual readers. :)

Ha! That was a good update. I'm glad you guys weathered the hurricane well. We in Providence also got fairly lucky, though I heard about 40% of the state lost power during the storm. Our block lost internet for half the week, but hey, that just means I had to go be productive. :)

Blargblarg. I just sorted out the map. Cohen can strike an arrow demon with his guisarme at that coordinate, but Angel Summoner can't land a melee attack with his morningstar (no range increment). Also, there's no demon at D10. There's one at C10, but that's on the other side of the map. A...

I'm here! Patiently awaiting the next sweet installment. :)

Oh, before I go nuts--are Cohen and Angel Summoner also subject to the tentacles' grapple attempts?

Well, you may find this part material: the wolf was part of a pack which had attacked mounts and party, and as a result was KO'd. The PC decided to save the wolf after the battle, while the rest of the party made sure to finish off any fallen wolves. (The rest of the pack, however, escaped.) So...

Well, the rest of the party is really not happy with the wolf thing, and the PC caring for it has a vow of poverty... So he's not exactly carrying around much stuff, and the others aren't exactly willing to make the situation easier for him beyond the use of the mule, which was offered before...

Sadly I can't posrep @RUMBLETiGER right now either! I guess I +'d him before. Thanks for the response. :) Ahhh, I don't look forward to effectively taking the shiny new toy wolf away.

Which check, and at what DC, should one make to try to force a typical (non-war-mount) beast of burden like a horse or mule carry a wounded predator creature? One of my players wants to adopt a wolf that was part of a pack which attacked the party (the wolf's currently disabled) and carry it...

Well, no one got out of the grapple this round regardless. I thought that since you weren't rolling the damage, I was supposed to. e.e So I just went for it. I'll just roll the regular dice here, yes yes.
