Live and learn, my friend. Live and learn.

“YEA THO’ I WALK” The journey south dragged on, the gray, cloud-laden winter sky rarely allowing more than a pale, wan light through to the barren landscape below. The companions had seen no sign of human habitation for days, but by no means was the wilderness uninhabited. At one point, as...

In retrospect, it's probably best to do kingdom building as you go. At the beginning of Varnhold Vanishing, kindgoms size should be around 50. By the beginning of Blood for Blood, should be about 80. We spent one entire session just kingdom building. Can get a little tedious.

Just a quick FYI...no update this weekend. Those of us with small children are participating in that ancient LARP ritual called Halloween, in which we prepare our offspring for their future lives as gamers.

SUNDAY TEASER The companions continue their journey towards the Valley of the Dead: 1. The cyclopean empire is not quite dead, as a trio of wandering cyclops makes painfully aware. 2. Mox takes a lover 3. Davrim learns the hard way that not all flies are caught with honey 4. The Valley...

ENEMY MINE Varnhold was well and truly abandoned. Building after building revealed the same. No bodies, no signs of violence, save where the spriggans had been looting, and ultimately, no real clues as to what had happened to the townsfolk. It was Tungdill who stumbled upon the first...

THE VARNHOLD VANISHING The road called to the rulers of Kardashia once more. After two years of relative peace, the outside world once again conspired to disrupt the new order they were trying to build. If some misfortune had indeed befallen Varnhold, then danger was on their very doorstep...

SUNDAY NIGHT TEASER 1) The heroes leave the life of rulership behind for the open road once more, this time journeying into the unknown territory of tne Nomen Lands 2) Varnhold proves relatively easy to find...and completely abandoned 3) As it turns out, the town is not totally empty...

GROWING PAINS For a time, life continued apace for the rulers and citizens of Kardashia. There were minor troubles…a brief feud between two wealthy families in Veritas that Mox quickly and wisely adjudicated, and a terrible flood during the Spring thaw that would have been much worse had it...

Well, this is actually an annual get-together with my brothers, one of whom lives in Jacksonville, and lives and breaths Jaguars football. So, as you can see, football was not my primary reason for attending...but I didn't absolutely abhor it...not really...you know?

Please note: there was no SH update this week, as I am currently basking in the glow of the Jacksonville Jaguars victory over the Indianapolis Colts. SH will return this coming week.

SUNDAY TEASER Years pass as Kardashai continues to grow. Two new cities are founded...one of them intended for the...baser natures of Kardashia's populace. A familiar foreign monarch pays a visit to the up and coming new kingdom. Mox becomes a Duchess! When a new threat endangers the...

G, you don't know how often your name comes up around the table with remembrances of your old characters and shenanigans! As for City of the Spikder Queen, I was going through some of my things this past weekend, and found the copy of it you printed out for me with all the annotations...

THAT OLD TIME RELIGION The rulers of Kardashia were greeted as conquering heroes when they returned to Veritas bearing both the head of the slain owlbear, as well as one of its cubs. A makeshift parade was held on the spot as the companions rode into town, and the celebration lasted long into...

I simply said there was a party death...and Chester was a member of the party...;) However, Stevhan did, indeed die for real in the owlbear fight, but his player used a Hero Point (from the Advanced Players Guide) to prevent said death. As for the cult, trust me, hilarity ensues! As for...

SUNDAY NIGHT TEASER 1) Word of a new cult in town causes Selena and Mox to get religion. 2) Candlemere remains a task to be completed...and it becomes an excercise in mayhem!

KEEP THE HOME FIRES BURNING It was time to go home. The business with the trolls had been a nasty one, and disturbing on more than one level. The level of organization that the giants had exhibited was uncharacteristic as well as unnerving. Something about it gnawed at Mox. First the fey...

SUNDAY TEASER 1) The heroes stumble across a cry for help on the way home to Veritas, and Mox finds a soft spot she wasn't aware she had. 2) When the group reaches Veritas, they find that disaster has struck...their home was attacked while they were away! 3) Following the trail of the...

Well, he DID say that he was mad at the trolls because they wouldn't let him kill things. As far as the CE part...that goes without saying...he WAS a hill giant. Ricky/Tungdill DID have a comment there in the beginning when talk of killing the giant came around...basically Tungdill has...

TROLLS “Do you hear that?” Stevhan asked. “How could y’not?” Tungdill groused. The ranger had brought the group to a halt along the game trail they had been following. In the distance, all of the companions could hear a loud crashing interspersed with what sounded like deep-throated...
