    The Riddle of Midnight (3/04/04) New Post!

    Sorry, yes, he did. I edited it to make that more clear. I should really have made it more clear. Yes, TROS is a vicious system and in later posts we will see how quickly and brutally the combats go. SA's become very important. Anyway, if you care to discuss, just e-mail me, rather than...

    The Riddle of Midnight - The Last of Varduk - Post #5 "Many that live dserve death. And some that die deserve life. Can you give it to them? Then do not be too eager to deal out death in judgement. For even the very wise cannot see all ends." - Fellowship of the Ring - Shadow of the...

    Roman Gladius

    I'm not saying the gladius is an uber-weapon, just that there could be a feat that shows the value of army-trained teamwork, of being a professional soldier rather than just a Fighter. Thassall.

    Roman Gladius

    Hey Emiricol, my main Story Hour pimp. I am thrilled to have an idea on this quandry for ya. The Gladius, to me, is just a fancy short sword. Someone please correct me if I'm wrong but what made the Roman's use of it great was the way they used it as a unit, short sword not getting in the way...

    Another Bastard Child of Tolkien - Litany for a Dead Campaign (The End)

    This game started because I got back into Ithaca and wanted to run a one-shot. It was a few months before Fellowship came out and so I ran a game with two Halflings finding a dragon egg, hatching it and re-awakening a kingdom in the process. Now that the Rings movies are over, I reckon it is...

    Chapter *** A Future that Never Happened The Green Lady was killed a thousand years ago. The history books disagree about how she died. Some say she was poisoned and others say she was killed by a rifle bullet aimed by the Lord of Deeproot. Bahamut and Tiamat are asleep and while they...

    Chapter XII Our Funeral Ritual We have no temples, no holidays, only a handful of rites and rituals that I know of. Funerals happen to be one of them. Usually we get caught in an improper form and are murdered as was the case with this one. Word is that the family had to pay a heavy ransom...

    Chapter IX Squire Jasmine Writes Home Dear Ma, Work as a squire is going well. As Master Thane says, “We just deliver pieces of paper.” Admittedly this delivering of writs has allowed me to see some almost all of the cities in the Jade Forest. I walked the musty halls of Deeproot, spent the...

    Chapter VIII A Hero's Tale Mother built Ladymist for us. I hate stories, always want the teller to go right to the end, the real end. Stalwart heroes, lovely princesses, wily tricksters and even great Wizards become tragic as they grow pathetic and old. Stories never end there, though. My...
