Leopold Voûteacier was a long and somewhat noble sounding name. It was perhaps strange to think that it currently belonged to the small millipede that was now scurrying along a smooth stone floor in a dungeon deep beneath a ruined castle. It would not be odd though if a person knew what sort of entity … Continue reading A Flurry of Activity
Game Master Notes
This is Getting Out of Hand
There is considerable debate among scholars and sages that pay attention to such things about why it is that dragons seem to turn up en masse at odd and irregular intervals. In any given area in Partum it might be years or even decades or more in between individual dragon sightings and then without any … Continue reading This is Getting Out of Hand
Wherever There are Women, You’re Going to Get That
Recent visitations by the polymorphed dragons in the growing city of Resurrection had created quite a bit of tension in Maelonbourg. Two of these dragons were maroon-colored “deep dragons” who were definitely the outsiders in the city and deeply uncomfortable around surface dwellers. Another two were gold dragons, the exact opposite on the sliding scale … Continue reading Wherever There are Women, You’re Going to Get That
And a Child Shall Lead Them
For four days the little mute orcish boy named Grendel had labored at his project in the small clearing atop a hillock overlooking the northern fork of the Marruse River. This was an overlooked portion of Maelonbourg on the edge of the barony of Serenity. It was perfect for what the little orcish boy had … Continue reading And a Child Shall Lead Them
A Golden Opportunity
The town of Resurrection is not what one would characterize as a romantic place, and yet this simple provincial city has seen more than its share of people falling in love. It is true that love can strike anywhere at any time, but in Resurrection there doesn’t seem to be any rhyme or reason to … Continue reading A Golden Opportunity

As was the custom for such things Colonel Drendler was somewhat anxious about having to deliver bad news to the Grand Marshal. Lord Verrat was already aware that something had happened due to the magical nature of his tactical wall map, but Colonel Drendler had the unfortunate duty of filling in some of the details. … Continue reading The Folly of Power
Dear God Have Mercy, There Are Two of Them
Professor Vex was in an ecstatic state of anticipation although to non-illithids this would have been nearly impossible to surmise. The mind flayer was one of several that were entrusted by the Queen of Slothjemia to monitor the psionic and mental activity within the throne room, and only minutes earlier there had entered into the … Continue reading Dear God Have Mercy, There Are Two of Them
The Seeds of the Imperium Take Root
If it seemed as though only a few weeks had passed since the squabbling city-states of Forkanza had become a warily united realm under the watchful auspices of a newly reformed “Fourth Imperium”, it was only natural. Hardly any time at all had gone by. It was only at the beginning of the spring season … Continue reading The Seeds of the Imperium Take Root
The Importance of Occasionally Being Inflexible
Every current or aspiring Game Master needs to face the reality at some point that their role is not to simply make the player's lives the absolute worst. This is unfortunately a difficult thing to convince some people. It is a vital and necessary thing for Game Masters to be adaptable to whatever the players … Continue reading The Importance of Occasionally Being Inflexible
My Mother the Night Hag
Garstynnia the Night Hag puttered around her cottage as the snow continued to fall outside. She hummed a mournful little tune to herself as she went about moving things around and tidied up. She enjoyed this sort of activity as it gave her a chance to refresh her memory about what projects she still had … Continue reading My Mother the Night Hag
