I'm going to be pretty busy for a while, so I won't have a chance to write another update for a couple weeks. Maybe if you ask gernboken really nicely he'll describe the culmination of the party's efforts to defend Freeport from the Brotherhood of the Yellow Sign. I hear he will work for rum...

Reading these quotes reveals the absurd number of typos that I allow to slip into this story hour. I must offer my sincere apologies to my readers (all three of you). Morrow

We just wrapped up Madness in Freeport. Morrow

I've got a PC IMC who is a cleric of a neutral god whose philosophy is basically that undead are people, too. They need guidance and spiritual sustenance just as much as living creatures do. So far the cleric has been a pretty frusterated individual, encountering only undead that are either...

I reworked him a little as a 3.5 compatible cleric/ bard to make him fit a little better with the wine and madness theme. I don't remember which feats the 3.0 version had, but the only feat my version has is improved initiative. I wouldn't have even bothered with the stats, but I couldn't be...

I didn't run Sunless Citadel in my swashbuckling Freeport game. However, early on I needed to introduce a rival party of adventuers, so to give them a backstory I said that they had just returned from the citadel. The PCs encountered them in a local tavern boasting about wiping out a tribe of...

Session 10 - Madness in Freeport - 10/11/2005 (Courtesy of Sully) Yo, ho ho! When last we left Nate, the Entertaining Bard with Roguish Good Looks; Bronson, the Sensitive and Insightful Cleric of Aster; Tavaari, the Handsome and Mysterious Rogue; and Sully, the Tragically Beautiful, Dazzling...

My experience was a little different from talien's: 3) My group loved Enzo. I played him up as a sniveling idiot in way over his head. The players enjoyed intimidating him for information. They subsequently browbeat him into scouting the abandoned house for them, and Milos caught on to what...

And, of course, an excellent way to collect email addresses for many of your most obsessed customers. Morrow

As a player, I can't really be bothered to map. If someone else in the party wants to do it, good for them. I'll make sure they get an extra slice of pizza. As a DM, the thing that gets me is describing the dungeon, whether anyone is mapping it or not. Flavor text isn't the problem, it's...

The dire flail option of the rod of flailing effectively grants you Two-Weapon Fighting when using the weapon. However, it does not grant you the equivelent of Exotic Weapon Proficiency (dire flail). Since Exotic Weapon Proficiency (dire flail) isn't on anyone's list of useful feats, it's...

In theory I stick close to the guidelines. In practice, maybe not so much. I've been running the Death/ Terror/ Madness in Freeport series, and I toned down some of the magical treasure because it seemed too much for characters of the party's level. Unfortunately, I didn't pay enough...

Nah, the assassins can't find you with only a zip code. The orbiting mind control lasers on the other hand, they'll just take out your entire county. Morrow

The old Far Corners of the World feature on Wizards.com introduced the following magic item: Headband of Lore: Adventurers, especially those who intend to explore lost cities, covet headbands of lore. The wearer of a headband of lore gains a +5 competence bonus on all Knowledge checks...

I have fond feelings for the crazy characters in Forrester's Against the Elves Campaign There were a lot of PCs over the course of the campaign, including: Goblin Cleric Orc Ranger/ Fighter/ Barbarian Kobold Necromancer Orc Psychic Warrior Darkcreeper Rogue/ Scout/ Shadowdancer Goblin Bard...

The highest profile ENWorlders will get the nod. That's probably how it should be, those are the people who have contributed the most to the community. There's no mystery. So why bother? Morrow

I'm DMing a Freeport campaign. The rest of the world owes a lot to the old "Known World" (later Mystara) setting. The two main waring empires are similar to Thyatis and Alphatia. Alfheim is there, mostly intact, as is Glantri. A Nithia/ Thothia combination will likely make an appearance...

Session 9 - Terror and Madness in Freeport Tavaari's player couldn't make it, so I sent him the following synopsis: When we began the session the party had just located the hidden temple of the Unspeakable One in the sewers beneath the home of Chief Counselor Verlaine. They had rescued...
