Ad Infinitum

We begin this story with four figures converging on a forest trail, the dark clouds offering up the only greeting they can as heavy rain starts to fall, obscuring the travelers from one another just as they take notice to sudden company. Chance meetings were nothing out of the ordinary on this particular road, even [...]

Well, it’s been a few days since my last post. I’ve had some time to think about what I’ve said and whether or not I regret saying it. I do not. Let’s continue, now, on to talk of D&D.   D&D is an interesting beast for me because it is many different things. As a [...]

Staying up far too late last night, I was gripped by the latest offering in Wizard of the Coast’s line of web-tools for D&D 4E: the sleek and satisfying Monster Builder. I’ll get into what I like about the program shortly, but first I’d like to take a stroll down memory lane. If you’ve played [...]

A fierce blizzard tore through the outlying countryside of Harkenwold. A hundred feet in the air, though losing altitude quickly, struggled Eldrith, Rayne, Citric and Supheter atop Renfophylax’s magic carpet.   Below, amongst the rising drifts of snow, a changeling lay dead.   It didn’t take Eldrith long to reestablish control of the carpet, with [...]

Following a lead from their new friend Ryan, the Vanguard set out to investigate the slaving group known as the Bloodreavers. The party now consisted of Gorn, Gruk, Hoff, Drissa and Caballero as they made their way to the entry chamber, past a dizzying maze of empty halls and mossy cisterns that made up the [...]

It was this weekend a year ago that I began our Fourth Edition game of Dungeons and Dragons. I hadn’t played the game since my last 3.5 game ended in media res six months prior. We began with a handful of people, gradually expanding until I had ten players, all told. I think learning the [...]

Visions of dark creatures entered Spah’s mind, and he reeled back as if struck across the face. He stood, hand leaning against an icy stone wall, while his allies discussed their next action. The dragon’s defenses had been somewhat lax thus far, but he wasn’t asking for a challenge. He wasn’t even really sure why [...]

It was at this point that the Vanguard diverged, separating into many groups. Gorn, Gruk, Hoff, Caballero and Drissa investigated a rumor that slave trade in the east had sharply risen, and that their dear friend, Teldor Goldcap was among those taken away. Spah, Citric and Rayne decided to pursue Vencat Kalton, the noble that [...]

Meanwhile…   Mira would not sit still. Despite his best efforts, Eldrith could not get the young girl to cease her panicked fidgeting as she sat atop his shoulders. It was clearly a bad choice to bring her back to the summer home, where her siblings had been murdered by opportunistic poachers, though certainly the [...]

A layer of darkness, heavy with flame and riot, had lifted over the still-uneasy town of Fallcrest. Caballero and Gruk maneuvered through the streets, witnessing no scenes of chaos or fire but rather that of rebuilding and charity; men helped one another piece together a new roof for a home that had been destroyed by [...]
