    [IC] Wandering Star : Heroes of the Middle Reaches (Part One)

    Ranver Swilch Late in the evening of June 21st Wait. Did you just hear something? No, probably just a gust of wind. The room you're in is full of stacks of unbound parchment. Probably just something shifting. *tap* *tap* *tap* Wait. There it is again. Sounds like bone on wood. Where'd it...

    Who Will Get the Axe?

    I'm guessing that the bulk of people getting laid off were those directly involved in Gleemax and the other product lines that are getting the axe. Haven't heard about Linae and Gamer Zero getting laid off yet, though.

    [IC] Wandering Star : Heroes of the Middle Reaches (Part One)

    Let me break in here real quick. Jorje, Master of Illusion Early in the evening, June 21st While heading over to the table, Charlotte and the waiting mug of ale, Jorje revisits the odd encounter he just had in the alley outside . . . It's pouring buckets. Pretty much the usual for this time...

    [OOC] Heroes of the Middle Reaches : Wandering Star

    I'm brewing up some other quests to drop in, but don't let that stop you. :)

    [OOC] Heroes of the Middle Reaches : Wandering Star

    I've opened up the IC thread over in the "Playing the Game" forum. Over the next few days (or less) I'll post a couple of bits of narration that introduce the first couple of quests. For instance, I've already begun introducing one via Zarathas Moonscale. The quests do not need to be...

    [IC] Wandering Star : Heroes of the Middle Reaches (Part One)

    Zarathas Moonscale High Noon on June 21st You grunt with satisfaction as your shield deflects the arcing slice of your opponent's blade. Stepping forward, you make a quick thrust with your longsword, hoping to strike a blow to his throat. A sly grin faintly showing in the dark shadow of his...

    [Recruiting (CLOSED)]Heroes of the Middle Reaches[4E : Wandering Star]

    I added "(Closed)" to the title. Is that enough?

    [Recruiting (CLOSED)]Heroes of the Middle Reaches[4E : Wandering Star]

    Sorry man. Recruiting is closed for now. Besides, this is a 4E game and monks aren't an option. :)

    Okay. No problem.

    [OOC] Heroes of the Middle Reaches : Wandering Star

    This seriously rocks. I'm all set to hand out the first batch of quests, but the one piece of info I need is Sparky's character's final build. Sparky, have you come to a decision about which character you want to play? I don't think anyone's gonna make your decision for you. :)

    [OOC] Heroes of the Middle Reaches : Wandering Star

    Here's another question, this time for Jorje. Say a certain someone who wanted to be discreet was looking to have an object rumored to be Arcane in nature recovered from the location it was said to currently be found at. And let's also suppose that this person thought you were the go-to guy...

    Promises, promises...what WotC said, and actually did, with 4E

    Emerald Frost is in there, it's just called Burning Blizzard now. If you look at the dual energy type damage boosting feats they line up pretty well with the stuff in that article. Only, there's nothing else. I had a post on this a while back. It seems like they dropped something from the system...

    Pathfinder 1E Pathfinder BETA - Some Sizzle, Not Much Steak

    Heh heh. I managed to pull this off and it worked fairly well. Though honestly I never got to playtest it as well as I would have liked. But yeah. The difficulty experienced when trying to change a fundamental mechanic is pretty extreme in 3E. That being said, it CAN be done.

    [OOC] Heroes of the Middle Reaches : Wandering Star

    Okay folks. Seems like we're pretty close to getting the character sheets finished up. Besides Sparky, please let me know if you don't consider that part of your character to be "finished." The character backgrounds are coming along, but we don't necessarily need those done to get started. I...

    [OOC] Heroes of the Middle Reaches : Wandering Star

    No penalty? What does being proficient get you, in that case? Access to special shield related feats? Ohhh. I see. You aren't penalized but you don't get the benefit either. Heh. Maybe I'm missing something, but what god do you see Pip being a cleric of? Sorta seems like Melora . . . Heh...

    [OOC] Heroes of the Middle Reaches : Wandering Star

    Fair enough. Sounds like I need a Caller in my RL group, though. So yeah, I'll ditch the Caller thing for the time being. Adopting the bump day concept seems like a good idea though. It'll be whatever day I open the IC thread on. I don't have a problem with table talk, honestly. From my...

    [OOC] Heroes of the Middle Reaches : Wandering Star

    Heh heh. No worries. What IS slowing me down are the darned "server timeout" problems. Is there any idea how much more money needs to be raised?

    [OOC] Heroes of the Middle Reaches : Wandering Star

    Nope. Just waiting to see if there were any other changes you wanted to make beyond the adjustment to ability scores and the new ritual.
