    Give me snapshots of Renaissance Festivals

    Oh yeah. He starts with his three rules: 1) Respond when requested. 2) Respond only when requested. 3) Pay attention. Then he gets his three zombies, each of who broke one of the above rules, up on stage. In between, there are various audience-participation things: sing-alongs, jokes, ded...

    Give me snapshots of Renaissance Festivals

    I love going to the Texas Renaissance Festival every year, and Scarborough Faire in Waxahachie in the spring (just went last weekend, as a matter of fact). Some memorable events (don't know how you would work them into a game). Once during a Don Juan and Miguel show (comedy swordfighting duo...

    All About the Dagger

    Yes, my characters always use daggers, at least as backup weapons. I love throwing daggers, especially the returning ones.

    It's here! It's here!

    I came into work today and what did I find waiting on my desk? A large UPS envelope marked "extremely urgent." And what did I find inside? The "Revenge of the Sith" press kit! :cool: This has some neat stuff in it. In addition to the usual press releases and a CD of photos and other artwork...

    "Serenity" now

    Or at least next week. On the browncoats website, I found an announcement about special advance screenings of "Serenity" in 10 cities on May 5. Can't Stop the Signal Austin is one of those cities, and I'm just an hour north of Austin. Already bought my ticket. I am soooooo psyched!:cool:

    Sex and "adult themes" in game

    We incorporate as much of the BoEF as possible into our campaign. Sex, between PCs and with various NPCs, occurs frequently. We sometimes go into detail, if it's important to the plot, such as a seduction or sex used as a distraction. The PCs spend quite a bit of time when in town visiting brothels.

    Traveller T20: Tales of the Bray Keaven [Updated 12-20-05]

    While compiling the latest update, I discovered two items which were inadvertently left out of the previous chapter. I have edited that chapter to add them. The first is a single sentence, a reply Swann makes to Keith while trying to bluff about his previous career as a dancing fool. The...

    [Eberron] City of Towers, anyone heard this complaint?

    It didn't bother me. What did bother me was the sloppy editing. There were too many misspelled words and other mistakes. I guess the editors who used to work for Mongoose back in the day got hired on by WotC's fiction division.

    What is most YOUR concept of the fantasy ninja?

    Fighter/rogue/shadowdancer is ninja enough for me. I've been thinking about using a gestalt fighter/rogue in our next campaign.

    What is your favorite new race?

    Changelings. I like to play sneak, spy type characters, and changelings are perfect for that.

    Character names from popular music

    Except Meat Loaf didn't write most of his good stuff. It was written by Jim Steinman, who also wrote "Holding Out for a Hero" for Bonnie Tyler and some other stuff -- songs from the movie "Streets of Fire." He even did a solo album, IIRC. Shakira is the name of my characters' stripper...

    Show off your fiction

    I've dabbled in writing fantasy and scifi fiction for many years, and have always wanted to get something finished and published. But finding the time has always been difficult. The "Songs of Other Times and Places" SH linked in my sig is actually closer to fiction than a SH, and is probably...

    Is the Story Hour Forum on Life Support?

    Glad the Bray Keaven SH lives up to your standards. Always good to know we have some satisfied customers. :cool: I think the SH board is doing just fine. I usually update the Bray Keaven SH once a week, and it gets between 150 and 250 new views per update. And the weeks I don't post, some of...
