Re: Finding the right multi-genre game mechanics

It is coming up to the third year anniversary of my Barrowmaze campaign and usually I take that as a cue to look at various House Rules and systems I use that enhance (hopefully) the game flow and experience. One of those which fits in with the context of 'gaining experience and skills' is what I te...

Re: Barrow Moor: Raust and the Orphidian tribe.

I will come back with a more detailed update. But the 'Wug assassin' is not known in the confusion of the riverbank melee. You can roll the CLW score, needing 3+ to put Ananxyrus back into positive health.

Re: New Year, New Faces, New Troubles

Ambergris Rather than blowing his 'fisherman' cover to the priest by probing his mindset deeper (and giving him a Saving Throw vs my antics plus knowledge of my intrusion), I will instead turn my gaze and mental investigation to the crate they bear. Concentrating to keep my spell active, I try to p...

The Brazen Strumpet Tavern If no conversation begins around the lanky man, he eventually pushes his plate aside and digs out a battered, but serviceable briarwood pipe which he then packs with a cheap but aromatic leaf and lights up. Next to appear are a scrap of parchment and a nub of charcoal, wi...

Re: Barrowmaze: Territorial Gains.

The secluded crypts are searched. The one nearest the breached wall is a twenty foot square chamber, damp and fetid. Old scrawlings mark the walls, undecipherable now, ruined by the erosion of age and decay. Stone coffers lie in broken pieces, vandalised or just collapsed from rot. The first crypt o...

Yes. I am thinking along the lines of the ship being hijacked and the two escaping. After that, the surviving crew being taken off the ship to location unknown. Knowing when the Launch launched, gives us a time frame for how long hostages might be held captive or how long the data cache were taken. ...
