The whole of central Partum was watching this little parcel of land right in the middle of Oublier, one of the states governed by the Archduchy of Maelonbourg and the Wenigzustand. The area in question ran from the bridge over the river to the fortified city of Aachen in the north all the way across … Continue reading An Outsider’s View

A Meeting of Peers
Lord Kleinvoet cleared his throat, and lightly tapped the croquet-sized wooden ball on the slightly bowled circular wooden base it sat upon. The gentlemen around the large marble-topped table stopped their quiet murmuring amongst themselves and turned their attention to the halfling. "What is your impression of our guests thus far, sirs?" Kleinvoet said with … Continue reading A Meeting of Peers
Redemption
The half-orc that moved with obvious determination through the massive Bureaucratic Palace of Jordrakenschloss was not the sort of minor-ranking lackey that could be easily dismissed or not noticed. His name was Ferrik, and he had been working his way up through the ranks within the Office of Diplomacy. He was not particularly gifted in … Continue reading Redemption
Somebody Turn Off the Damned Dragon Generator!
There comes a time in most every Dungeons & Dragons campaign when for whatever reason there is more than one dragon kicking about either as a foe or an ally for the players. This can be problematic for a Game Master for a number of reasons, and I'd like to take some time to nail … Continue reading Somebody Turn Off the Damned Dragon Generator!
In the Court of the Ascending God
Callidus Magna sat upon his heavily bejeweled golden throne with the luxurious ermine covered cushion.

I Didn’t Want Bad News for Me, I wanted it for Them!

The Box is Full! Somebody Alert the Archduchess!
There was a lot of stuff on the shelves in Gilla’s herbalism shop. Everything from small clay pots of living plants to earthenware jars of dried leaves and bottles of colorful liquid corked and sealed with wax. There was also a small box made of smoky textured glass and what looked to be a reddish … Continue reading The Box is Full! Somebody Alert the Archduchess!
Everyone Loves a Hot Bath
Grungaar was pleased with the progress he had made thus far on his new home. He had been at it only for a few days, but it was all coming together so well that Grungaar couldn’t help but hum. He loved music and while he couldn’t play any instruments and it was physically impossible for … Continue reading Everyone Loves a Hot Bath
Finally, Some Bad News
Being undead isn’t all that it is cracked up to be. Anyone seeking to exist after death in any form really needs to consider that there have been zero instances of a happy undead entity. And the more powerful the undead creature is, the more miserable they are bound to be. This little tidbit of … Continue reading Finally, Some Bad News
This is How We Roll (Part 2)
After establishing what type of character a player wants to be (race and character class) and rolling up their six essential characteristics (strength, dexterity, charisma, wisdom, intelligence, and constitution) they now need to settle on what skills they might possess. Game Masters will have different approaches of course, but there are some limitations that are … Continue reading This is How We Roll (Part 2)
