Re: "An evening with the fraternity" plotline

I DM'd the campaign for a while after the original event, but (as often happens with campaigns, whether online or off) several of us lost time and energy for posting at the same time and the campaign ground to a halt. Since it was seven years ago now I don't remember many of my plans for the campaig...

Re: I need some explanation about darklords

For the sake of completeness, Hazlik has a magical pendant which will take in his life force if he is killed. Anyone wearing it will dream of battling Hazlik each night; if Hazlik wins, the wearer dies and his/her corpse will gradually transform into Hazlik.

1930s London by night=Paridon

I saw this today and thought of Paridon:

Re: Mad Idea : North?

Presumably the direction that's on your left when you face the rising sun. Maybe that sounds a little facetious, but it's the only useful answer I've come up with--for whatever reason, compasses align themselves orthogonal to the movement of the sun across the sky (setting aside questions of axial t...

Here's my take on this one (also see Rotipher's addendum, two or three posts down):

Re: Tristen ApBlanc; Vampyre or Dhampir?

I have an elaborate and highly non-canonical explanation for squaring this circle which I devised for my late, lamented campaign: Tristen was born a dhampire. Rual figured this out and decided to try to cleanse his soul of its vampiric taint by an elaborate druidic ritual mimicking the function of t...

Re: Why no female vampire DLs?

I dunno why there aren't any in canon. I once invented one who accepted vampirism to keep herself eternally young and beautiful, and then discovered that as a vampire she couldn't see herself in a mirror, except when she took on an incredibly ghastly form to feed. Her domain was a pocket domain on t...

CROSSBOW! :lucas:

And the rakshasa really is gorgeous. Too bad his "simple operation" seems about to end in a staking. :lucas:

Re: Hazlan, Land of Monsters OOC

OK! That was abrupt! But desperate times call for desperate measures. I have been hoping for some time now to devote more time to this campaign after I got my paper submitted and cleared up some other stuff (family health problems, job searching, etc etc life etc etc). The paper submission has dragg...
