Guess that character elaboration got a naked element added to it...

Naked recap time, eventually...
To be fair, there wasn't really word on whether it's easy or hard, just that parents who don't bother or actually do harm to kids is a thing that happens to make the blood boil.
The mind has been warped. Nothing makes sense anymore.
The imagination can be a frightful thing...
*Lots of evil laughing and writhing sounds*
I'm Hiding In Your Closet is actually hiding under the bed...
Icy has passed all his exams. He can rest for a few days, and then his summer courses begin.
This keeps happening! Why does this keep happening?!
It's a matter of perspective, in other words.
Did Windows 10 strike again?
What are you swinging poles around for? You could poke someone's eye out with that!
Tell that to Xykon. He's pretty hardcore for someone who took the path of becoming a lich.
Now where can I get the last two Carrion Crown books...
And a post from behind the scenes. The Musings of a DM:
So, Maeve's player has not been able to rejoin the party (yet), though she might have some time in the near future according to her own words. For the time being, Maeve is chasing the second Dark Rider and kicking ass with her new Nature Warden levels, so she isn't behind the party in levels if she does come back.
I had to change a thing or two in Wake of the Watcher to keep things interesting. One of the Skum still had a shred of sanity left, and tried to help the party a bit before taking a chance to get the hell out of the caves near the end. The Dark Young of Shub-Niggurath spawned earlier due to Antonio Counter-Songing the chanting of the Mi-Go and the humming of their machinery. Even without having another fight in-between the encounter, the monster did pose a serious threat if it had a chance to get the Fighter/Bard out of the way. Also, due to the Order of the Palatine Eye having a direct agent linked to the PCs, I figured the Mayor got a better ending than on print. However, since Antonio (and the others) forgot to pack the other brains along, those are probably still in their jars under the lake. I don't know if they'd stay down, or start to slowly rise up to the surface. Lastly, I never bothered with the Sanity checks. I had a lengthy discussion about the topic with my players, and we all agreed that if the campaign WANTED to make use of such, they should have been introduced from the get-go. After seeing ghosts, zombies, skeletons, werewolves, and many other horrors, the tentacular brainfarts of Lovecraft aren't THAT horrifying in comparison. I made only one Sanity check for the players, and that's when they saw Shub-Niggurath attempting to enter their plane of existence. They all succeeded, though they were understandably a tad shaken in-character regardless, though Antonio was quick to make a taunting quip at it, as he often tends to do. I have been having fun running this campaign. I hope I get to introduce the character-specific side-quests soon, so I can tie up some loose ends.
But do they float?
Be careful when traversing the Distant Worlds...
There's a difference between condescending bigotry born of racism and the outright genocide angle that some of the more extreme brands of racist have. I should know, I'm Chaotic Evil after all.
Overwatch spamming works wonders in non timed missions. Wasn't that the case in the first game as well?
Applauds for the Planescape: Torment reference.
...that was embarrassing. What? I was supposed to post something a tad personal here and ended up posting it elsewhere on these forums.
...that was embarassing.
Quality and Quantity are NOT mutually exclusive.
Norgorber is the god of secrets. Aroden's death is a secret to all except Pharasma. Thus, Norgorber IS Aroden or the one who killed the god of humanity. ILLUMINATI CONFIRMED!
Evening shift today, evening shift tomorrow. At least it's a nice change of pace compared to the morning shifts.
On a serious DotA 2 kick atm. My mates and I sunk unholy amounts of hours in the original and HoN back in the day, and recently got back into it again. Can leave you absolutely wired, or on a total high, depending on how the games go. I do wonder when was the last time I had the time and energy to play DotA 2...
Nobody told me there's a "Campaign Journals" section in the forum! ...but I'm keeping the Carrion Crown recap thread where it is, because I can.
The rules flip flop on the evil of cannibalism, but generally leans to "yes" being the answer. I do not agree with it myself.
I wonder how many templates will be added to the fifth Bestiary...
So the reason was "you people can't have nice things" or something along those lines?
There are too many tropes for one campaign setting to tackle!
Were we not supposed to talk about the Fantastic Four though?
...a redeemed Arthas? HERESY! Jokes aside, that would have been an interesting conclusion to his story arc. The books did imply Arthas still had a bit of good left in him, though that was not mentioned at all in Warcraft III and only mildly hinted at in World of Warcraft up until his final defeat in Icecrown Citadel. I am also of the (arguably unpopular) opinion that Garrosh shouldn't have been killed. That, and Thrall needing some kind of comeuppance for cheating in Mak'gora. That duel is supposed to be 1 vs 1, and using Shaman magic (calling the elements to help out) is NOT 1 vs 1. Too bad, though at least now Illidan is making a comeback.
I apologize for altering reality in a manner that is very uneasy (understatement) for the human mind. Kind of hard not to do that when you're an Aberration.
I feel oddly out of it. Probably should have avoided that playlist full of creepy music.
For those who didn't check the preparation thread, here are the player characters. - Maeve Oakwind, Elf Ranger. Lawful Neutral. - Celeste of Jalmeray, Aasimar (Normal) Cleric of Irori. Lawful Good. - Malthazar Therahel, Aasimar (Archon-Blooded) Zen Archer. Lawful Good. - Dampérenovich, Dhampir (Moroi-Born / Svetocher) Kinslayer Inquisitor of Pharasma. True Neutral. Players Not Allowed:
Maeve Oakwind has not revealed that she is in fact not a normal elf, but is actually a lythari, which is basically a non-evil elven lycanthrope that can shift between humanoid and wolf form but has no actual werewolf form. The race is originally from the Forgotten Realms D&D campaign setting, but I decided to let the player try one out since she wanted to and it didn't seem too far-fetched a thing to find in Ustalav. The only one that currently knows about this is Kendra Lorrimor, and even she doesn't know all the details. Professor Petros did, but he's kinda dead. Maeve's nature as a lycanthrope might come up in Broken Moon, if not earlier in the campaign. And on a side-note... Maeve and Dampé have no plans to multi-class or take Prestige Classes. Celeste plans to take levels in Monk and Paladin so she can become a Champion of Irori. Malthazar aims to take a level or two of Sorcerer (Archetypes possible) and become an Arcane Archer. Lastly, the tiefling priestess of Pharasma, Sotiria Spiros, was meant to be a DMPC back when we only had three players for the campaign. Once the fourth joined, she was changed to an NPC.
And the campaign can be followed here!
It is not a swarm anymore. It reached the Tidal Wave evolution :-( Damned Zerg swarms...
Falcon's Hollow said hello...
Wasn't this thread supposed to be about trans men, though?
Do not forget that even the most ordered society cannot deny the influence of chaotic behavior...
I see a storm coming...
Does the Red Bull give you wings?
Miracle. ...oh wait, I'm in a thread about Wish-ful thinking.
Whenever I see "bathroom drama" at the beginning of a post, I start making popcorn.
What, the beholder?
They're beyond human comprehension. Trying to understand their motives can only drive you mad.
Hypocrisy, thy name is human.
Merasums, is that you!?
