"I do not know." Hú Lí says. "I can't tell from his speech, of course. Perhaps he is a traveler, forever voyaging."

Fenwick heaves at the tightly stuck mechanism and the rust slowly starts to give way, but not nearly fast enough. Fenwick stops, and glares at the device. Banging on it with the butt of his hand axe, he exudes what sounds like a long string of curses in his native tongue, apparently trying to...

By all means, bring him in. Even if we manage to come up with a defender, I'd still hoped to have him as part of the group. Besides, if a defender doesn't show up in the next week, I'm gonna start this party anyway.

Hú Lí listens intensely to the conversation, keeping up a slow rhythmic tapping on her drum which is more soothing that irritating. "Wake me when you wake," she says to Aerys. "I enjoy seeing the sun rise." The Black Fox Fox Spirit (Changeling) Bard 4 Initiative: +3, Passive Perception: 18...

Lord Mallaby nods at the girl, and smiles warmly. "My compliments to Prince Goldenhorn, and I thank him for his kindness in informing me." he says. "Alas, we will miss his companionship in this endeavor, but I understand that family duties come first and foremost, and that such pursuits as...

When he is done speaking, Mallaby notices Tyris. "Another old comrade," he says, shaking the assassin's hand. "I am glad to see you again. I am planning another expedition, and would be gratified if you would join."

"Sounds intriguing," Mallaby says. "If you vouch for her, I'm certain I would welcome her." "Ah, it is she who I speak of. It is on her behalf that I am forming this expedition. I will explain further when we have gathered all of our forces, but I am most glad to have you along, because she...

"You appear to be correct," Hú Lí says, "but look: here is something interesting." She leans over the remains of a desk, and produces a coffer with a rusted lock. "This may contain treasure, or information. Who can open it for us?"Perception roll on skeleton in Brine Demon: 11(1d20) +7 = 18

VanderLegion: I think this is part of the reason the last "brawl" was outside the tavern. Tenchuu: Mewness's new character is actually female, but other than that, I can work with that intro.

The door to the street opens again, and an annoyingly handsome young man enters the tavern halfway, then turns briefly, and blows a kiss to someone unseen. As a flurry of girlish laughter emanates from the entryway, he strides the rest of the way into the room, pausing momentarily to look at...

"Pezock is correct," Hú Lí says. "There is something... wrong here. I feel it too. I can not tell what it is, though. We must be wary. Whatever it is may get loose."

Hú Lí calls out "The thunder pealed from nowhere we can see, and Noriaki has been struck down!" She moves cautiously up to the side of the stricken warrior, looking warily about for the source of the attack. "He is shaking!" she says, "as if stricken with chills, and his hands are gripped...

Just as an aside, what is different in Superhero games isn't the mechanics, but rather the scope. In doing comic book superheroes, you need to include a ridiculous variety of characters at scales ranging from ordinary people to trans-cosmic Powers That Be. A friend of mine had several tests...

Novelty for novelty's sake is over-rated. There are some people who, upon seeing a new game, will instinctively look to see if the mechanics are familiar. Some of those, upon seeing a familiar mechanic, will claim the writer of the mechanic is stealing from somewhere else. The proper response...

The sequel to Get Me to the Church on Time is coming up soon. I've gotten one approval so far (Thanks Luinnar) but I believe I need one more. Any judges care to step up?

Lesson Number 2: Don't create long posts in your browser. Notepad is your friend. :)

Hú Lí taps out a gentle rhythm on her drum, and quietly hums the tune of a familiar comic song. Spend 1 surge to get back up to full, 7/8 left. By the way, folks, don't forget Song of Rest which gets anyone who spends at least one surge 4 extra HP regained

Hú Lí's music intensifies until with one final flourish, the flute screams. The unliving creature seems momentarily disoriented by the music, then collapses to the ground. Hú Lí drops the flute from her lips. "It is finished," she says, and taps twice sharply on her drum, indicating the...

Sorry for being so dense. Fenwick climbs gingerly up to the top of the tower where the smashed beacon sits, and considers the mechanism. Noting that it's gone askew from its mounting, he reaches down, takes a firm grasp, and adjusting his weight, he lifts. As it falls into its housing, Fenwick...

I'm really confused here about what we're supposed to do in the first round. Is each of us supposed to take one of the four roles?
