I'll see about a summary of the campaign and how the web was used. See, next week they're going to get tasked with dismantling as much of that web as possible- since they hate the city and most of the people in it, they should approach it with glee. Go to Comment

I honestly wouldn't have posted this without the pics- there's no other way of capturing my manic attempts to map out social relationships. Go to Comment

I'm currently running a campaign set in Danamar, which is taking the majority of my creative juices at the moment. I'm glad you guys are still enjoying what material has found its way here. Go to Comment

Ted's comment on 2011-04-29 07:29 AM

What sort of firing mechanism does this involve if it's totally unavoidable without some kind of magical precognition?

30 Army Officers
NPCs (Extras) (Combative)

Ted's comment on 2010-10-02 10:31 PM

This would be a 5 except too many of the officers were purely detrimental to the army. I want some good officers as well! Go to Comment

I have actually been using this for Kingmakers as they come across new establishments.

That deserves a golden, hopefully the citadel agrees. Go to Comment

The Voyeur's Wand
Items (Wand/Staff/ Arcane) (Magical)

Ted's comment on 2009-06-11 12:57 PM

Just two things:
1: Some groups (I'm thinking about my local group right now as I say this) might not be mature enough to handle using the wand.
2: Does the wand have any other effects? The name of the wand implies that it would have some kind of spying power- the ability to see through walls or something similar.

The Circle of Pharisrak
Society/ Organizations (Criminal/Espionage) (Regional)

Ted's comment on 2010-09-14 05:22 PM

I have some minor quibbles and questions:
1: Finding information on such a group would no doubt take magical means. You're just not going to find the bones of 800 year old assassins through chatting up people on the street. I can see it being difficult giving players enough backstory on the assassins, and enough information to face them.
2: What are the options for big boss battles?
3: How do the spirits treat one another? Go to Comment

Flight of the Pegasus
Plots (Crisis) (Campaign)

Ted's comment on 2011-05-01 10:46 PM

This is comprehensive enough to base an adventure on, assuming previous materials for the system/world were available.

First Golden Vote go!

The Book That Thinks Foul Thoughts
Items (Books and Scrolls) (Campaign Defining)

Ted's comment on 2012-03-13 10:51 AM

I feel this submission veers off in multiple directions without much focus. You have the scatalogical, followed by its use to magic-users, and finally some kind of reaction to non-magical folks?

It goes every which way without really providing the meat of how this tome is malicious. You mention using weak-willed mooks to do its dirty work, but what is it trying to accomplish?

Also, foul thoughts seemed to have nothing to do with the actual item.
