Darn it, it's hard not to mourn for your bad guys!

You forgot the first rule of the bad guy; never let them find the body! he should have fallen into a raging river, off a cliff, something where you could pull him back from.

He did. The Defenders just followed him there. :D
 


HS,

The point I was making is that Wolf in the Fold was about Jack the Ripper. So were both references I made. Regardless of how the Jack gets around, I'm just saying of the mythos surrounding Jolly Jack, those two were my favorites. (Well next to the Richard Blaylock short story.)

*sob* I loved you, little ultralithid! You were the best lil' squid-head ever! *sob*

R.I.P lil' squid-head. Grieve and move on. Trying to hold on to your villians will just rip you up inside.

Plus, it makes your PC's mad.

Actually, it was a really fun game. The PCs are in a mindflayer-controlled psi-active demiplane. The walls of solidified thought actually pick up secrets from people and radiate them.

I had each player email me four secrets that their character had. I took them (along with NPC secrets), printed them, cut them apart, and put them in a basket. When the group did certain things, they absorbed some of the thought from the walls around them and got to draw a slip of paper from the big basket 'o' secrets. The result was very successful, and it will certainly result in some interesting discussions later... :D

Wow! I can't wait to read about this in the Story Hour.

It was amazingly effective. The look on the female paladin's face when she learned that the halfling alienist had a crush on her - hey, he likes tall women, what can I say? - was near priceless. Even better, in some ways it will draw the group closer together, and bring to the surface some lingering issues with peoples' backgrounds.

Yes, but if you're looking for a Jack the Ripper story about a spirit taking over the local environment, a Vorlon agent isn't much help.

True but it's my favorite Jack story from TV. Well that and the Kolchak the Nightstalker one was pretty interesting too.

That's delicious! Boy, there is so much good fun coming up in the Story Hour ...
