Thanks, guys! I feel all blushy now. :o Just FYI, I play George and the gun mage class is a hoot for anyone who has a secret desire to be a gunslinger/a cowboy/Chow Yun-Fat. Yes, sometimes girls want to shoot things. ;) Also, although Zeina, the akashic character, doesn't come into the story...

errrr...he gets a Will save, doesn't he?

The Church of Alioth, the Prophet, maintains a small chapel and cemetery in the town of Ambergate. There is also a chapel attached to the campus, but it is mostly for show, a symbol of the goodwill that supposedly exists between the mages and the Church. Few students attend services there, and...

Dante, once properly introduced, follows Serai and George towards their errand and the three of them discuss the duel in hushed voices. “I don’t like this,” George admits. “He gave in rather quickly,” Dante agrees. “And he doesn’t seem the least bit worried.” “Do you think he’s planning...

Chapter One - The Wizards' Duel Since you are new to Ambergate, you really must visit the campus of the magical colleges. Now, during the late summer, is the best time to visit, with the students still gone on holiday and the masters barricaded in their studies finishing the lesson plans for...

Cast of (Player) Characters Dante of Ambergate - strange, sickly Imperial wizard, a student of necromancy; Dante was left as an infant on the steps of the Church of Alioth, the One True God, and raised as devout follower (wizard) George Barleycorn - Mavarran youth with a tendency towards...

Hello all! Since KidCharlemagne has been so kind to do a write up of my campaign, I thought I would return the favor and do a story hour for his campaign. The campaign takes place in Crystalmarch, KC's homebrew world. Ambergate is the name of a wizard's university in the Empire, where the...

It just depends on so many things - character concept, setting, etc. Sometimes having the biggest, baddest animal just doesn't help you when you're trying to convince the villagers that really you are a nice guy. No, really! :uhoh: Sometimes having a polar bear in a mostly desert setting isn't...

One thing we've been considering in our group: familiars, animal companions and followers are played by other players. For example: Player A has a familiar Player B has an animal companion Player C has a follower Player A plays player B's companion Player B plays player C's follower Player C...

You know, it's all about how it's played. Although I tend to be story and role-playing focused, I've been in role-playing sessions that bored me to tears and I've also been in long combats where I held my breath every time someone made a roll. One session not too long ago, I did run a roof top...

Yeah, actually I forgot to mention that one. I have a weakness for kaiju and my players will be meeting a colossus whether they want to or not. :] (And as an aside, I think I'm gonna have to buy that game.)

Just out of curiosity, what made it fun for you then? And, what do you think would make maneuvering in game fun for you now?

I go away for two days and all the good stuff happens. ;) As for accents, I love doing them, but I also find them tiring for some reason. I try to use them as often as I can. I know people can find them annoying, but it also helps people to stay in character, even if not everyone does it...

I got my issue last night and immediately tore into it. I am so pleased with this issue. Haunted Houses and Birth of the Dead were excellent articles and I got so many ideas off of them that I am actually changing the focus and "meta-plot" of my current campaign. I liked the Class Acts...

Not intentionally, at least not by me (though I do like Whedon). :) I got Mary and the rest of the Street Urchins from a d20 product - off the top of my head, I think it was En Route or one of the other books that have a bunch of small encounters. I ditched the encounter the children were a part...

YAY! One Week is in the lead! Go, Jack, Go! :)

I had to choose "no preference." I really do like all levels of play but it really depends on the DM and setting - each has a level range where they work the best. I am curious to see what happens in my current game, though, because there is only one spellcaster, a druid/rogue/sorcerer, and I'm...

All of those are fantastic and reinforce what I've learned: that there are some really smart people out there; people who can put into words things I've always thought but didn't know how to express; people who made me see things in a different way; and how to ignore people whose purpose is to...

I am a: Neutral Good Gnome Bard Ranger Follower Of Oghma I do like gnomes and I did play a bard/cleric of oghma once, so it's not so far-fetched. :) The detailed results are: Alignment: Lawful Good ----- XXX (3) Neutral Good ---- XXXXX (5) Chaotic Good ---- XX (2) Lawful Neutral -- XXXX...

1. What exactly is Cat Scratch Fever? (yes, I know I can google it, but I want to see the responses) 2. Far more frightening to me, though, is what made you think that you got it from a possum? 3. A friend of the family was diagnosed recently with a particularly agressive form of breast cancer...
