Time flies when your life is in upheaval eh?

Sorry we vanished again. We never got to pick up that campaign again, and I'm afraid it's so far gone now I don't think we ever will. A real pity, that, ...

Eep. We've just been busy. We're picking the campaign back up again this Friday, so with any luck Iressi will be up for writing some more journal entries on it. :) I know I'll be planning to.

Glad ...

Details are fuzzy at this point. (Shame in us for our lapse in posting these.) I promise to pry as much detail as I can from my fuzzy mind, but for the most part I'll just be avoiding detail for now. ...

They need a Puberty Template. Smile

I can't think of anything suitably witty to say in response to this, but I do very much approve of it. Happy

CT,

Go with your story as is, no need to c ...

The Nymph's name was Tellsondra. I actually wrote that one down so you're not fooling me, Iressi. *Winks*

You mean you don't want a halfling that is 6'3"? Shocked

Hahaha.

Thanks for sharing your thoughts Tarelton, SirXaris, and Icarus.

I know it's "Politically Correct".....but in my games; characters MUST start at 18 at the youngest (or the demi-human equivalents; call it late 30s for Halflings, 60s for Gnomes, Half-Elves and Dwarve ...

Hmm... I might know a snow cat that could help you. We feline types have to stick together after all.

I like it, MS. There's a great sense of mounting intensity translated in the words as I read them. Once again, your story impresses me. Smile

Lady Rowena, in Ivanhoe, written by Sir Walter Scott not long after the period in question, was a Saxon princess that, though she outranked her guardian Cedric, who was a Thane or Baron, was his his w ...

Egg of Coot is such a bizarre name to me. It makes me want to giggle every time I hear it. Smile

I know that's common in literature. Iressi and I were discussing Game of Thrones the other day, though we haven't finished reading it yet (we're still working on that). I was asking Iressi if I'd made ...

Right, so here's a topic I'd love some opinions on. The Knights of the Silver Dawn campaign is placed primarily in Furyondy for much of the beginning of it.

So the question springs from my writing ...

Just noticed the invitation to describe our characters and thought I'd go ahead and share a bit about Sennia.

Comeliness!

I like this topic because I think it deserves to be discussed. How attractive a person is or isn't is something that can have great impact on role playing. D&D is a setting where yo ...

A little late, but.. I was home sick that day. I remember I had hooked up my PlayStation 7 to the big TV in the living room and was toiling away at Final Fantasy VII. I didn't even know anything had h ...

Generally anyplace that Crystaltears wants to live ;)

He spoils me. Wink

Also, for the record, no one's view has offended me thus far, but then, I'm pretty hard to offend most of the time. :sm ...

I like the details you added in. They draw me into the tale that much farther. My compliments, MS. Smile

Second Guessing.

Problem is if you hesitate to use it harm will definitely come to those you love. Better to utilize what you have when it is needed instead of worrying about what happens next. How ...

I'll definitely be watching to see if you post any campaign logs and I hope you have a blast when you get to start back up. Smile

Oooh. Thanks for pointing me here, MS. It was a wonderful read. Smile

Impressive as ever CT must have been heart broken losing Arshae, one of her favorite characters. If you want to be a hero you have to be willing to die. Hence the hero tag you only get to wear it if ...

1) What human subrace(s) best describe you and why? Ex: Suel, Oeridian, etc. Mixing them is fine, of course (unless you are 100% "full blood" something).

So appropriate, don't you think? Wink

So pleased you noticed. Wink

*Prowls around a bit.*

Some songs simply teleport you into other wolds:

Wow. That song is gorgeous, Aeolius. Thanks for sharing it. Smile

That's a lot of detail for a random encounter. These will make great notes for your story.

Exactly what I'm hoping for. Smile

The more I write excerpts for the CJ the more I realize that unless I 'man up' and write this thing in third person, a lot of pieces of the puzzle will end up missing. There are things that have happe ...

Ooh. Sounds promising. I'll keep an eye out for your good news. Smile

Just stopping by to say welcome. I look forward to your contributions here and hope you enjoy your stay, Adam. Smile

Drinking at games.. Never encountered it. I don't think I'd like it very much if it went beyond a light buzz to the other players.

Personally, I don't drink. Nor do I engage in any form of substan ...

I bet Arshea gave that cloak one big kiss after that encounter.

Hehe. She was originally going to give it to the inhabitants of Quallsten since that was likely where it was made, but after that li ...

Thanks for your input, Argon.

Arshea is the actual bard, yes, but ultimately I would be telling the story as experienced by any of the characters, making them all equal vessels. Now if I write a t ...

Thanks, Argon. I'm glad you enjoyed it. It was a very defining moment for Arshea.

More will be added later on today.

Ha! I am such a liar. Embarassed

That's okay. I'll add it today for yo ...

Crystaltears, you are eloquent. I think you have the Oratory proficiency for sure (or would that be considered an Artistic skill instead?).

And, after reading your paragraph about Druids, I think ...

Oooh, I like this thread already. Smile

But to pick just three? Damn.

Alright.... Let's have a go at this.

That is very true, Sir Xaris. I hadn't considered the limitations of Ahvrania's perspective. Thank you for your thoughts. Smile

Crystal Tears is planning in the future to turn the whole thing into story format, though no telling when we will have the time for that.

I am indeed and I set up a [url=http://www.canonfire.com/cf ...

Worth saying, this was the first soul Ahvrania felt even the tiniest need to offer mercy to in the campaign so far.

Nope. He was dead-dead. We tried to heal him because Ahvrania was hellbent on questioning him, but we had no success.

CT and Iressi,

To think at one point Iressi was not sure whether or not to post his campaign journal. What I really enjoy is how both of you place your perspectives on the campaign.

Meant to post to this sooner, but it slipped my mind. You would be starting the game around 9PM our time. If you have the game on Fridays (which was your original intent, I believe), we could play for ...

Just chiming in to say I second Iressi's statement. We're willing block apart some time on our Fridays if you'd be interested in having us. Smile

Oooh, thank you for your warm welcome, Ye Lady of Awesome Maps. Have to say I love your work! Smile

I know Iressi shares my sentiments on that.

Thank you. It does seem quite a nice place so far. Smile
