Hawk met with the scorpion merchant who had given him the expensive kimono. The merchant was eager to go ahead with his trading plans but Hawk had bad news. “Things have changed in the Centaur Nation.” Hawk explained “The King is tainted, the commander of the Royal Guard is even more tainted...

Why would not watching it stop some people from saying it sucked?:)

In the aftermath of the battle with the assassin the group kept their ears open for anything that might have something to do with that trip. And soon enough they heard news. A foolish opium dealer had stolen money from the Scorpion clan. He’d made a good try of escaping, getting as far as...

I don't think there is One True Way (tm) but I've been running a Rokugan game for two years now, and asian themed games in general for far longer, so I'll give it a try. Presumably Kambei Shimada, he's the one who shaves his head to pretend to be a monk to save the boy. The samurai class is...

“I’ve been keeping an eye on the boy as you asked, Kaz-sama.” The guard explained. “Last night he was late showing up to guard duty, so I went to look for him. I found he had climbed up a tree. Near Mir’s tree house. I have no doubt he was trying to peek in. Probably luck for him I found...

Mir immediately went to work letting people know the dead Vanara was not really Mindra. But the chaos of the situation simply grew. Thunderguards charged onto the scene, katanas out and ready, surrounding the Centaurs. The two towering Centaur guards were ready to draw their swords and...

Mindra was guided to his specially prepared room. Just short of it, Misura stopped him to emphasis “We’re all together in this right?” his eyes so bright and intense. That feral growling growing more pronounced as he spoke “Give me your word, Vanara to Vanara. Tommorrow you’ll teleport me to...

Luthor is the iconic Supers villain. But if he could have killed Superman, he'd have done it years before. He's failed so many times already, a 'and this time, Luthor finally gets lucky, proving if you just try enough times...' storyline wouldn't have been too impressive. Darksied could have...

I kinda like Malibu during this period. Really, Honda showed up to help promote the Street Fighter II comic that in only two issues got it's license pulled. Heh.

Recovering a Simarill (sp) from the Iron Crown of Morgoth is a traditional and suitably impossible task;)

I suppose you take a powerful enough bow, a very light arrow designed for range, and a cliff.:) It does reach a point of making no difference since at extreme ranges the arrow would do no real damage. Longevity was always an issue with the longbow. Not in the short term, but hundreds of years...

And a listing of NPC's to help the new comers keep score.:) Dramatis Personae We don't need no social graces We don't need no fine silk clothes No darkest magic in the Crab lands Demons leave those Crabs alone Hey! Demons! Leave those Crabs alone! All in all you're just another Crab on the...

Well, contintal longbows were usually more around 4 feet. According the source like the Mary Rose wreck, 5 and 6 feet Om the other hand, if you are going to suggest the welsh bow is far better than the english longbow, I'll have to ask for your source. Charles Oman (History of the Art of...

At the risk of starting a flame war...yes. The long bow, typically made of yew, but also elm and other types of wood, was an excellent weapon. Depending on sources it was dangerous out to 200 yards. Based on the few samples left from the period when thge long bow was supreme the draw weight...

Well, also keep in mind the Mongols wore silk as armor. It didn't stop the arrow totally, but the arrow would not pass through it so it was easy to remove and there was less chance of infection.

In the aftermath of the battle the firemen were finally allowed in to fight the fire raging over the back of Agnar Glitterune’s House of Foreign Mysteries. In his usual fashion, Volar openly looted the bodies while Mindra and Mir healed up the fighters. It had been a tough fight but as far as...

Thanks for the comments. It was a good game last night. the group has a little chance to rest after the Black Snakes and now they must get ready for their next big challenge. Update will be posted in minutes for last night's game.

I often pick some easily rememberd character as well. For a particular Vanara in my game tonight I was doing either the ape General from Planet of the Apes (the remake) or Jack Palance. Even I'm not sure.:)

Woohoo! And now, I've finally caught the story hour up with the game. Which means no more fast forwarding and a little more detail since it's all fresher in my mind.

Also no in evidence was the Black Snake treasury, much to Volar’s disappointment. Just empty rooms, open boxes, and windows. Black Snake and the others had escaped without a trace. Departing the building, the ground found a pile of Ghost Dragon bodies, sliced up and battered, the gang members...
