[QUOTE="dshai527, post: 825306, member: 4469"] Okay, since we are back from our mini vacation, Enk has asked me to answer a few questions from our readers. Since no one has asked any questions though, I am just going to use my DM abilities to predict them. Here goes… 1) Yes he smells that bad, but I have managed to live with it for the good of our writing, besides who else would do punctuation for me. 2) Green 3) It’s my world and I can if I want to. 4) O’ about 16 years give or take a few months…1st ed of course. The entire world fits into just one binder of jumbled notes that nobody can read but me. That doesn’t count the numerous collections of Steak & Shake napkins that various notes are written on…if you include those it’s about 2 boxes of notes. I mostly keep everything in my head, but since we have started this project I have put more stuff down on paper so that Fett could share it with you. By the end of the story you should get a good glimpse of most of the known world. 5) When I get to play, I usually play a Human Ranger or a halfling thief. I don’t play very often, which is okay because I love to DM. (So far in 3rd ed I have only played a Human Psion and a Half-orc Bard [Crothian’s Whispering Woodwind Game at the Ohio Gameday]) 6) The most fun….watching Enk over-analyze the plot and dismiss every clue because its too easy (I make the plots super thin sometimes just to piss him off), or shooting arrows at any of Fett’s characters. I also enjoy weird magic items that are extremely powerful, so powerful that the players are reluctant to use them or Jon (Worm) decides to break them. 7) At one time the gaming group had about 12 players at the table so we ended up switching to two groups. 8) My favorite character would be a hard call. I put a lot of time into each one. I would have to say that when Enk and I played the two wandering entertainers, that would be the most fun I had playing, although the DM is still in the mental ward at the hospital. Everyone’s favorite pirate (Besides the Cat) Lord Barak D’Shai would be my all time favorite character though. 9) The current group? Hmmm, I would say that Aurora would probably win just because my wife plays her and I don’t like sleeping on the couch, but if someone else were DMing my money would be on Meepo, just for the pure comedy of it. Seriously, if Worm was the same level as the rest it wouldn’t even be a fight, plot magic items excluded. If they were allowed to prep the field before combat then each would shine in their own element. 10) –60 something I think…it was 2 Worgs and a Winter Wolf surprising the character and the round after they won init they each proceeded to crit on at least 2 of their attacks each. It was nasty. Before that Enk actually held the title…something to do with a hellhound attack and falling off the 4rth floor and then the burning tower fell on him. 11) Aside from the one-shots and short games this is the 4th major story arc to take place in my world. Each story arc lasts a few years of actual play and about 85 years of game time has passed total. This includes the year that has passed in the current story. 12) Yes, I will try to get Fett to post the map online so that once the Sunless Citadel plot ends you can follow the path of our heroes. He may even show you the original (Artifact map and the current world map. Heroes are hard on an ecosystem when given powerful magic) 13) The future for our heroes?

I wish I had that session on tape so I could replay it over and over. The fight lasted for hours and there were only 2 players involved. Man what a night! 15) The Steelers!
