Looking at OSRIC (I'm afb), you could be an elven Fighter/mage, thief/mage, or fighter/mage/thief; Gnome figher/illusionist or illusionist/thief; half-elf cleric/mage, fighter/mage, mage/thief, cleric/fighter/mage, or fighter/mage/thief. Dwarves don't make good arcanists, so they can't...

I always looked at the weirder and nicer areas outside of the Tyr region to be examples of how life could actually be better than it currently was, even in a horrible place like Athas. They could certainly go too far, but I liked that if the PCs left the starting area they found better places to...

I wanted to portray the the feywild as a place as bad and deadly as the negative energy plane. Go there unprepared and you die in minutes. Research and plenty of magical/psionic prep will allow you to survive there for a while. There's no reason to bother, though, because there's nothing there...

One thing I've noticed running WotBS via pbp is that there are some encounters that feel like they exist just to give PCs x.p. My request for the next adventure path is to write the adventures that tell the story you want to tell and then just sell it to me. If that means it starts at level 4...

Here's my PC, Luth Serrick. As an aside, I'd probably be playing a MU if we weren't starting at level 1. They just get too few spells. Luth Serrick NG Human Ranger die rolls are here STR 17 +1 hit +1 dmg +50 carry 1-3 doors 13% BB/LG INT 17 +6 lang WIS 17 +3 mental saves DEX 12 +0...

Shaylir picks up the bone and reads the words carved into it. "Leave the pages from inside the case. Cooperate, and we might find an arrangement to spare your lives. Carry this with you if you wish to bargain," it says.

The dog creature stays quietly to the side of the road. It stares intensely at you as you walk past, as if taking stock of you. As you walk past the thigh bone lying on the ground you notice it's been carved with what look like letters in common. It's hard to read what it might say without...

Man, don't go to the Athasian Feywild. You think the normal desert is harsh? In the Feywild the wind is so fierce and the sand so sharp it strips living flesh from bones. The heat is enough to make the toughest mul pass out after exertion. And there's no water. None. What's there? Predators...

The dog creature opens its mouth and drops the thigh bone to the ground before backing up. It cocks its head to the side in response to Liiros' question. Then, as the Liiors begins advancing again is moves back over towards the side of the road. When Liiros finishes crossing the bridge the thigh...

I'm going to play a human ranger. My stats, from here, are: STR: 16 INT: 17 WIS: 16 DEX: 12 CON: 13 CHA: 14 COM: 8 Solidly mediocre. At least the mental stats increase my odds of psionics ;-] I'll try to work on the details over the next few days. I plan on either specializing in longsword or...

With Liiros in the the lead the party cautiously makes its way over the bridge. The ravine is rocky and almost devoid of vegetation. This creates a pocket of cooler air that is drawn upwards by the rising hot air from the burning forest on either side of it. You're buffeted by gusts of...

I'm fine playing a good character. While I don't have an adventure preference, I also haven't really played any 1st ed. modules. I'm happy to play anything you want to run, airwalkrr.

If my posting is a little sporadic for the next few days it's because I'm still working on fixing my laptop. Grrrr....

As the party subtly discusses the hiding creature it explodes in a flower-like burst of fire. When the burst subsides the creature is gone. Hollister, you recognize the effect as the result of some planer magic, though the burst of flame is decidedly unusual for simple teleportation. As best...

Whenever I get writer's block as a DM I try think as if I'm sitting at the table in the middle of running the game. I know I'll be able to come up with something next. That's often enough to get the ball rolling. So start with on hex on the edge of the map and make up something to do there. If...

This idea sounds hot. And I love old-school greyhawk. Race and class will depend on level and set-up, I think.

Leaving the burnt corpses behind, the party continues on down the Elfroad. After about another mile you pass another trail splitting off the road. This one is unoccupied and you quickly pass it by. Shortly past the second trail, Lytha sees something hiding in the burning forest off to the side...

I don't want to dally around decided if anyone wants to check out these three charred bodies for too long, so we're on the clock. If anyone wants to check the bodies out post something to that effect in the next 24 hours or so. Otherwise I'll assume no one wants to risk catching on fire and move...

"That's a lot of fire," Torrent says while looking down the trail. "I'm staying on the Elfroad. I don't care if any of you go check out those bodies, but if you're going to do it quick. I only have so many potions." While talking Torrent reaches back to her knapsack and pats a side pouch...

One nice thing about displaying the xp comments in the post is that it allows someone like me comment on something several pages back in a thread after the topic has moved on. It's a way to make marginalia comments, essentially. Hmmm ... now that I've written that out, it doesn't sound quite as...
