This is very cool of all of you!

Dude, I'm a gamer. Don't we solely exist to spread the tales of the imaginary exploits of our imaginary characters? :) But seriously, or at least somewhat more seriously, I am sure everyone is cool. Otherwise, I wouldn't be trying to meet any of you.

That would be fun. As I said, I enjoy meeting EN Worlders.

Another beast of a story to write. I caught a catnap in the middle of the night, but that is pretty much all the sleep I had. I hope there aren't too many errors. Whew!

CarpeDavid vs BSF Vodou Justice (Picture 2_1_5) Dame Madelyn Roberts leaned over the sink and stared into the mirror. “As you can see Mr. Heath, the scoundrel has cursed me! This simply will not do.” I looked across the room, at her reflection in the mirror. The polyester sweat suit was...

I have kept hoping more folks would post. I haven't figured out my itinerary yet, except that I will be having dinner with a friend on the 17th. Let's see if we can drum any more EN Worlders before finallizing anything. But it would be cool to hang out with you Rodrigo.

Yeah, it is nice to have the implied characters minimized. I gotta say that I love the picture with the dog and cat though. Though, it does look familiar. I am pretty sure it hasn't been used in a previous Ceramic DM, but I think I have seen it somewhere. *shrug* Them's the breaks when...

Hey everyone, I will be visitng the Washington DC area from March 17-23. I'll be out vacationing and visiting friends and trying to get a feel for what the area is like outside the capital. Generally relaxing and all that. Anyway, I was kind of hoping to meet some of you out there. I'll be...

Indeed! As I recall, Phil Reed has mentioned in that past that he has requested permission to work on such material. I am left with the impression that he never received an answer, though I could be wrong.

I am very sorry for your loss Eric. Thank you for introducing us to your grandmother in some small manner. Her presence, through you, has been a very special thing here at EN World.

Hey CarpeDavid, It looks like you and I get a rematch from way back when. *smile* So what is that? Four former Ceramic DMs and an Iron DM in the second round. Wow! I have some illustrious company. Thanks to the judges for my raise dead! Timewise, I think I can make just about anything...

Speaking from experience, judging is difficult and can be time consuming. In this case, blocking out time to read 14 stories as well as providing a bit of feedback is quite a drain on time.

The artificer's handbook included socketed items several years ago for D&D. The Le Games has baubles in their supplements. WotC is just making the idea a bit more accessible to mainstream gamers. For some games, they will be an appreciated enhancment. In others, they might not be appropriate.

Umm, are you merging Mythusmage and Hong into one pseudo-personality? Both like to use cats for avatars.

This is potentially problematic. Pedantically speaking, the rules do not directly support this. I don't want to dive into a rules debate, there is a completely different subforum for that! But it is a good idea to let the players know how you will adjudicate some of these things in advance...

This is potentially a bigger trouble spot. Do you have the DMG II? If so, look over it for the differences in playstyles. Barring that, you could also pick up Robin's Laws of Good Gamemastery. Both cover the same ground in regards to playstyles. Remind your powergamer that not everybody...

Well sure there may be flaws from the time crunch. But that is the nature of this beast. :) Yes, sometimes stepping back and rethinking your story is good, but don't underestimate the value of an external opinion! There is nothing wrong with having a strong critique and jumpstarting the...

It sounds like one of the software management programs. PCGen/GMGen come to mind, but those don't have a long name. Twin Rose Software has Campaign Suite - Extended, but I think there is only a free demo of that. Redblade is a character generator and I don't think it has additional features...

A little exposition Ah, I have children to bed and can now post a bit more. :) I took a chance with this story in making Hugh a character that does not find redemption. Call it a bit of cynicism and bitterness in general that bled over into the story, but also call it an attempt to try...

Congratulations to my feline foe. As always, it is fun to write and I greatly appreciated the shot at taking Piratecat out of the running early. :)
