    The Selgaunt Campaign

    OOC: Neither, actually. The "old" one pulls towards the siphon room, but since you don't know where the siphon itself is that's not too informative. The "new" one has a faint tug towards the large, very broken portal arch in the room you're currently in. Neither show any interest in the buried...

    Terry Pratchett

    Pratchett is one of my favorite authors, but others have already said everything I would have brought up about him. :) I'll just add that at a signing, I asked him to write something Rincewind-related in my copy of Interesting Times (probably my favorite overall), and he did: "Stercus...

    The Selgaunt Campaign

    OOC: Technically, you could drop the rope down the chasm, and then use rope trick to make it rigid (with the extradimensional space above the chasm) -- but this isn't any more useful than just climbing down the un-tricked rope. ;) Am I misunderstanding what you want to do, db? That aside, the...

    The Selgaunt Campaign - OOC

    Running one is just about as much DMing as I can handle right now -- I stopped running World's Largest Dungeon for my group in Utah for that reason. For Selgaunt, I'm actually still running on material I'd already prepared -- what would have been session 10. Things will change a bit, and the...

    The Selgaunt Campaign - OOC

    No harm at all, mad gondsman. :) This is the continuation of a tabletop game that started in August of 2003, back when all of us involved in it lived in the same state. Unfortunately, at least at present that means we're not looking for new players. Thank you for asking, and good luck finding a...

    The Selgaunt Campaign - OOC

    Shhhh...We're just more open about our obsession. In time, they will come to see the power of the Dark Side...

    Steamtech Reading Suggestions

    Stretching the definition a bit, the two League of Extraordinary Gentlemen comic series (both available in TPB) are excellent.

    Order of the Stick is going to Print!!

    Great news! Thank you for the heads-up -- I've been wanting this to happen for months now. :D

    Post, damn you! I need my fix! Taps veins frantically. ;)

    How many Dragon Magazine articles do you normally read each month on average?

    2 is about right for me. Sometimes it's none, sometimes it's cover to cover -- but usually I'll skim the whole issue, pick a couple to read, and shelve it. I don't necessarily think this is a bad thing. I get a lot of use out of Dragons after the fact, which is why I subscribe -- I'll be making...

    Roger Zelzany's Amber Chronicles

    The first five books are somewhat different than the second five -- so much so that many people I've met who enjoy Amber are divided about their relative quality. I'd say the first five books are unambiguously good sci-fi -- clever ideas, quick reading, robust concepts, and very good...

    Your playlist

    I only listen to music in the car, which I know is weird. I'm too lazy to do it at home, where I don't have a stereo or good PC speakers. ;) Lately, it's been these four albums: DJ Shadow - Preemptive Strike Audioslave - Audioslave Rammstein - Reise Reise Soundgarden - Superunknown

    Are Dark Matter Characters Ruined After Certain Encounters?

    Only to the extent that you allow it to -- or to put it another way, only if you assume a) the Hoffman Institute is right, and b) that they know about everything. After a couple of encounters with things agent PCs know about, when they start to think that the HI has all the answers, you can...

    The Selgaunt Campaign

    The spelleaters are mollified by Artemis's clarification, but nervous about trying to leave the door open permanently. "Open, it'zz indefenzzzible. Maybe you can show uzz another way to open it? And we can leave it clozzzed when we want to?" They bob their heads and clack their mandibles as they...

    The Selgaunt Campaign

    Both spelleaters become very agitated at the thought of you closing the siphon room door behind you -- then they couldn't get to the siphon! After being asked this, they are much more alert and constantly watch all of the Follies, waiting to see what you'll do.

    The Selgaunt Campaign - OOC

    ...other than most Minnesotans, right? I mean, you all pretend to like it when furners come by to visit, but behind those strained smiles is the knowledge that tomorrow's bitter cold weather will freeze your testicles solid, just like yesterday's, and the day before's... And db, "fetus" just...

    The Selgaunt Campaign

    There's treasure in them thar rubble... OOC: It sounds like everyone is happy taking Artemis's 1/2 hour, so half an hour it is! Get ready for...information overload. Exploring the rubble heap that leads up to the far door yields some interesting results -- it appears that this is where the two...

    If there're no other nibbles in the next little bit, I'll start tackling the mega-action post. ;)

    More Charisma Than a Roomful of Nymphs (finished, link to full SH in last post)

    I've been busy and stressed out for the past few weeks, and haven't felt like updating this. To those who read and enjoy it, I apologize. If things settle down and I get excited about keeping up with this SH, I'll come back to it. :)

    The Selgaunt Campaign

    OOC: I'm waiting to see what others want to do before launching into Artemis's and Xen's posts. They can easily be combined, and I've got plenty of answers, but time available and the actions of the other Follies will determine how much I can answer. tdr, db and glin, if you guys can chime in...
