Fey Weighted Throwing Hat

Raven walked into the tavern. The bandit leader had a knife to the bartender's throat, using him as a human shield.

"That's close enough, stranger. One more step and the old man gets it."

Raven slowly unbuckled his sword belt and let it drop to the floor. He removed his green jacket and hung it across the back of a chair.

A smile slowly spread across the criminal's face. "That's more like it."

Raven reached up and removed his hat by the brim. For a moment, the bandit almost laughed. Then Raven threw it.

The crimson hat spun through the air. The broad brim, which had always seemed soft and flexible, became suddenly rigid as it turned, striking the bandit across the jaw with the force of a mailed fist.

 The thug staggered, his grip loosening. The bartender dropped away from the knife.

The hat curved through the air and returned neatly to Raven's waiting hand.

Raven slipped his toes beneath Nightwatcher and flipped it into the air. The blade was clear of its sheath less than a moment later.

Dungeons & Dragons and Creeks & Crawdads

Image
I apologize for posting this before it was ready.   I sat down the other day and hammered out some thoughts but in my rush, I failed to include any sort of context for my plan to incorporate Creeks and Crawdads into my ongoing D&D campaign. “What?” you ask.   “These are two entirely different games, two entirely different genres of games.   How can you possibly put these two systems together in the same campaign?” I’m glad you asked.   Let’s stop for a moment and look at the “canon” background for Creeks and Crawdads.   You, the player, assume the role of barely sentient crayfish after mankind wipes itself out in a full-scale nuclear war. Yeah…that’s nothing like D&D…  But what if, instead of nukes, we substitute something…magical? The Mournlands of Eberron after the Last War, the ruins of Netheril before they were swallowed by the encroaching sands of Anauroch, the lands of Krynn nearest the spot where the Gods hurled a mountain dow...

The Battle for Tarithnesti (Finale)

Image
07 Deepkolt 349 AC ON THE BANKS OF THE THON-THALAS Grotto casts a pair of spells, one to double his size and the other to make his skin as hard as the rock he was sculpted from . Suitably enhanced, he nods to Ornforithalas, "Let's go!" The scouts move forward, as quiet as the grave and close in on the enemy. Once they are close enough, Grotto leaps up and shouts, "COME FIGHT ME YOU OVERGROWN GECKOS! THE LAST THING YOU'LL SEE IS MY AXE AS IT SPLITS YIUR SKULL!" With that, he hurls his blade. It tumbles end over end and strikes the nearest kapak in the center of the chest, bowling it over and knocking it into a nearby baaz. Grotto's axe flies back to his hand as the elves open fire. Dozens of arrows streak into the mass of reptilian troops. Four go down in the opening seconds of the fight. Half of the archers switch to spears while the second half unleashes another burst of fletched death. Two more draconians fall. The battle begins in earnest. Grotto...

Yes, But... What if it was Shadowrun (Part 2)?

Image
So, still really grooving on the whole cyberpunk/ Shadowrun aesthetic. We join this scene, already in progress, after Raven's first run-in with a "modern" (for the setting) mobile enemy. I am picturing the hoverbike to look pretty much like the Speeder Bikes from "Return of the Jedi" but with a chain gun and grenade launcher in place of the laser cannon and have drawn a not-so-good piece of concept art and even put some stats together but I digress... "... and that is how you reload the minigun. Any questions?" Raven shook his head and Butch closed the front panel on the hoverbike. "I have arranged for the entire system to function as a cohesive whole but I totally 'Frankenstein-ed' the weapon system together - General Electric Minigun, AresTech Grenade Launcher, precision aligned and calibrated with tech from Stark Industries." The old racer moved around to the far side of the bike. "Now...right yoke - throttle and gun control...
