The thing it comes down to - and there's really just no getting around this - is that we're first level, and we suck. At everything. Someone was going to have to go in. Someone was going to get stabbed. Stealth wasn't the issue here. And since we all suck, it really didn't matter which one of us...

And it begins again! The new story hour with all new characters can be found here.

The Savage Sword of Meepo Post-Mortem My intention here was to present some thoughts in the wake of the ending of our campaign. Some of them are tips for the reader, the player, the DM, or the story hour author, and some of them are more general reflections with little purpose but to indulge my...

And thus the campaign is ended. At this point there used to be a lot of kind words and nostalgic discussions and so on. But then the messageboards crashed (yet again) and it was all lost. I'll sum up. It's been nearly six years. These characters started at first level and we've played this...

The Final Story OOC Notes: Please refer to the end of this entry and/or following posts. The Final Adventure: A flash of light. The sound of breaking glass, echoed dozens of times over. The screams of people being struck down. The earth, rising up. A sense of vertigo - falling...

The Reckoning – Chapter 4 OOC Notes: Exp later. Not that it matters much now. Time waits for no man, but he hesitates around Chuck Norris. This Week’s Adventure: The red banked upward, then did a wingover and came towards us. A message resonated in my mind. May I approach? I would speak with...

The Reckoning - Chapter 3 The Reckoning – Chapter 3 OOC Notes: Exp is 8,000 for 25th, 6,350 for 26th, 4,350 for 27th. This Week’s Adventure: We gathered ourselves at Ru’un Khazai on the appointed day as had been agreed. Meltorannan appeared and told us the general battle plan; the attack...

Interlude Interlude I still wasn’t sure what to make of the entire trip to the Abyss. On one hand, it seemed too easy and I was still unwilling to believe that we had actually vanquished Fraz. Even, so, it seemed to be true. It wasn’t as if we woke up one morning and went – the events today...

The Reckoning – Chapter 2 OOC Notes: Experience: for 25th level, 5,200. For 26th level, 3,600. For 27th level, 2,800. The spread is due to a couple characters not leveling up holding back for something. Readers, please see the end of this entry for more OOC notes. I don’t want to ruin the...

The Reckoning - Chapter 1 The Reckoning – Chapter 1 OOC Notes: Experience is 1055 for 25th level characters, 825 for 26th, and 570 for 27th. The Blessings of a God: As revealed in the last session, Ralishaz, god of the Prime and deity in charge of enforcing the interdiction against outsiders...

Strange Bedfellows - Chapter 4 and 5 Strange Bedfellows – Chapter 4 and 5 Author’s Note: Typically this story hour has followed the convention that each chapter/post represents a single session of play. However due to the demands of real-life and increasing difficulty of finding a play date...

Life's Bazaar - Chapter 2 Life’s Bazaar – Chapter 2 OOC Notes: Experience is 300. We’re joined by a new character – Tzaddik. I’ll amend the introduction and give some details once his character design stabilizes. During the actual game he was a ranger but that might change or be refined...

Shackled City Beginnings: Krisfallion It is the Common Year 605, and the winds of change blow across the world. Never one to set down roots, you had few attachments to let go of when you fled to the Headlands during the Scarlet Brotherhood's invasion of your homeland, lo those many years ago...

Life's Bazaar - Chapter 1 Life’s Bazaar Life’s Bazaar – Chapter 1 OOC Notes: Experience is 450 exp. This Week’s Adventure: I was starting to get worried. Now that I stop to think about it, I don’t ever recall being “worried” before. It was a strange sensation and not really one I enjoyed...

Zad/Wizardru’s Story Hour Prologue Greetings! And welcome to the new story hour! Some of you are new readers, while others are surely coming here based on your enjoyment (I hope) of the old story hour. Wizardru’s Story Hour (a.k.a. The Savage Sword of Meepo) chronicled a campaign that spanned...

Yay! It's our annual message board crash. We've lost five months worth of activity here. I'll try to figure out what's what and start reposing the end of the campaign.

This is true but truthfully I have not even really looked over my notes to determine how much I have to work with. The fact of the matter is that I'm up to my armpits in alligators at work. Not the occasional business that delays me a day or two - this is bad. I have some serious problems and...

We've actually managed to do some planning in advance this month. So good news is we know when the next game is. Bad news is it's not til 12/16. (We'll be doing one night each of the Barakus and Eberron campaigns over the next two weeks tho.)
