The coach that Hilde had hired in Slothenburg to take them to Brakoff pulled up in front of the big house she reluctantly called home several days later than anyone had originally expected. The normally bubbly orcish woman took a long, deep breath and smiled broadly even though she was so sick of riding in … Continue reading Slinker, Slayer, Kobold, Squire; Chapter 20

“When in the course of Nonhuman Events…”
If a campaign goes on long enough the players involved will eventually get to the point that they will want to strike out on their own, apart from other sources of authority in the story, and establish their own domains. Whether these are truly independent of an NPC ruler such as a King or an … Continue reading “When in the course of Nonhuman Events…”
Clarifications on Warriors
The way that warriors are dealt with and defined by the different powers within Partum can vary tremendously. For the most part they all fit nicely within the definition of "fighters" in the Players Handbook. Apart from that loose categorization, though, there is a lot of leeway from one nation to another. For the purposes … Continue reading Clarifications on Warriors
The College of Magicks
As is typical of many things in Slothjemia the College of Magicks in Jaggerholmschloss is mostly funded and operated by the military. Unlike the Royal Academy of Arcane Studies this institution has a clear goal for all of its graduates and that is military service. For the navy there is an emphasis on producing helmsmen … Continue reading The College of Magicks
I Don’t Know Much About Art, But I know What Creeps Me Out
A dozen years ago or so there was a painting commissioned by the brand new Archbishop of Avondace. The finest elven painter in all of Fanolania, Clemen, was tasked with this project. But it wasn't a painting depicting the newly promoted archbishop. No, it was a portrait of somebody else entirely. There have not been … Continue reading I Don’t Know Much About Art, But I know What Creeps Me Out

The morning brought with it the promise of a painfully bright new day, and it also brought back Jandle’s searing headache. He had full day of walking ahead of him, so the squire managed to get himself attired and equipped before he went downstairs to see about food. He took his rucksack and weapons with … Continue reading Slinker, Slayer, Kobold, Squire; Chapter 19
Anybody Know the Plot? Dave, You’ve got the Fancy Hat, Any Idea What the Hell is Going on?
After every game session I can almost hear the frustration in my poor players. My habit of making the campaigns ridiculously complicated with numerous plot lines and schemes doesn't do well unless the players pool their information to try and figure out what the various threads are and where they are attached. Then to make … Continue reading Anybody Know the Plot? Dave, You’ve got the Fancy Hat, Any Idea What the Hell is Going on?
“Take a River Cruise” They Said. “It’ll be Fun!”
The tale of The Wine Princess is one of the most enduring legends along the northern portion of the Rheggen River. Not merely because the story is intriguing on its own merits, mind you. No, the gruesome final voyage of The Wine Princess continues to captivate listeners because the ship continues to be seen plying the … Continue reading “Take a River Cruise” They Said. “It’ll be Fun!”
“I Love it When a Plan Comes Together”
Of all the things that the Herzgraf of Slothjemia has been accused of he has never been blamed for not giving enough thought to a military campaign. The recent triumphs of Slothjemia on the battlefield against the vaunted legions of the Ash King only drives this point home. Even the naysayers in Geldenreich that believed … Continue reading “I Love it When a Plan Comes Together”
