Queen Ari the Reluctant By: ephemeralstability
She has everything: stunningly good looks, sharp brains and oodles of power: she's going to be a Queen. The only drawback is that she doesn't want to be a Queen. |

Egg Cup of Summoning By: ephemeralstability

Novel Musical Instruments By: ephemeralstability
To give a world a feeling of otherworldliness, it is best to replace some standard, everyday objects by imaginitive replacements. I thought I'd turn to musical instruments as music often defines (or embodies) a culture. This is just a first idea, feel free to post some more, because I will... |

Character Hooks By: ephemeralstability
I'm trying to think of alternatives for game-openings, to replace the standard 'meet up in a tavern' or 'adventuring group applying for a job' techniques. I know these can be easy ways to get people playing, but I'm certain there are more interesting ways... |

Tunguska Dreaming By: ephemeralstability
A (fairly sketchy) outline of a one-off adventure I ran based around the (time-honoured/hackneyed) Tunguska Event of 1908.
