Back in the olden days (1 and 2e), I was about the only one in my group that regularly played humans. I liked them because they didn't really have all of the nifty advantages of the other races (other than dual classing: 4 levels of fighter with weapon specialization, then mage, baby--lots of...

<shakes head in admiration> Heh, subtle. You rock, Sep.

I've dabbled a bit with several of the so-called 'internal' Chinese arts: mostly Tai Chi ('standard form' and Yang, but not much), but also Pa Kua and Hsing-I. I have a little (very little) experience with Wing Chun and a Chinese form similar to Aikido (though the name escapes me right now)...

Just a bump *Bump*

Wow... ummm.... wow. If this is the case, hats off to PC for being such a rat-bastard, and to Pyske for figuring it out on so few clues. In fact, even if it's not the case, hats off to Pyske for a darn good 'conspiracy theory'.

Now *this* was what I was wondering; trust Mordenkainen to solve the problem (and Sagiro to remember where the solution is...). This spell takes care of the buffscrytel at the cost of a 5th level spell slot for when you bed down (or home use), and a Persistent Nondetection (or something...

Thanks, but the credit goes more to Sepulchrave; reading his story hour is inspiring. (Edited to correct spelling)

In-game changes? A lot of people have suggested metagame solutions (changing the way the spells themselves work), and that's fine--it's according to your taste how you rule zero. I disagree (sort of) with KidC when she says that you shouldn't punish the players for being creative: if you've...

Whoa... I know I'm 'way out of date here, but I just found this thread (on a re-read of Sagiro's SH to catch up on plot threads I missed the first time). The Hungry Caterpillar knock-off is my favorite (as someone who has had to read that @%#&!* book on the order of 100 times!). Edited to add...

Re: Notes from Mir Much kudos on the roleplaying here; not only does Black Omega do a great job telling the story, but the excellent roleplaying (by *all* of the players) make this a great story to read. Thanks for sharing with the rest of us!

Re: Re: Yeah Having just read some of the new story hour stuff Sagiro and Sep put up (and the above), I see where I misunderstood. I also didn't mean to imply that the players aren't mature or philosophical--the mood just seems to be lighter and less serious in the Company and DoD campaigns...

Yeah Yeah, 'maturity' isn't quite the correct word for what I meant, but I find that my vocabulary is frequently lacking the correct words; I think I used the 'mature' because Sagiro used 'adolescent'. Perhaps '...for his more philosophical players...' is a better way to convey the meaning...

in anticipation... Will there be a new thread?

Whoa, now! Whoa, now! Let's not be hasty here. I'm sure that this is just one of those over-harsh self-criticisms intelligent/creative people are prone to, but for my money, Sagiro's story hour is one of the best examples of a long-story-arc campaign I've ever seen (similar to the old...

IIRC, Keldas never had the staff; it was created (and lost) by his ancestors and it's fallen to him to recover it.

Nope, it's not just you I know what you mean; my head works the same way. I find it really difficult to get started, but don't want to stop once I get rolling!

Ahem <polite clearing of throat> <slightly embarrassed bow>

Bump and question It's been a while since this thread has been updated, but here goes anyway: I was wondering about the logistics of how you guys play over the internet. Do you (as the DM) have to type the same message to each player (or cut and paste the same message, whatever)? How do you...

Internet play? Hey! Nice job on the story! Could we get some details on how you run the campaign over the internet? I'm about to graduate and the folks I'm playing with now (as well as some folks I've played with before) are pretty much flung to the four winds, and this might be a way to...

(Off topic--feel free to delete) Good characterizations in LOTR:FOTR---especially Boromir; I never really liked him in the book (I read him as a bit of an arrogant noble-type), but the take that PJ and SB had on him in the movie was excellent: someone to truly be admired. *edit: Fixed the...
