[QUOTE="talien, post: 5460122, member: 3285"] [b]Chapter 58: Gothic - Introduction[/b] I agree, there's an entirely different feel to PBM. You'll see this later -- I'm able to create horrific situations that I couldn't if I had players sitting around a table. I'm not sure how many players would tolerate keeping their eyes closed to mimic being blind... But since you commented, back to the story! ============= This story hour is from "Gothic" by Richard Watts from Ramsey Campbell’s Goatswood, "Whack the Vampire" by Tony DiGerolamo, and Expedition to Castle Ravenloft by Bruce R.
