Campaign Chronicles

I have now binge watched the series three times and all I have to say is that Bill is awesome.

This is a new drug I created for my campaign. An agent of the House of Hidden Darkness  had infiltrated the party shortly after the group fought off a pirate raid in the city streets.  I wanted a sympathetic villain so the NPC in question had been a happily married boatwright with a loving husband and son who had died tragically. In an effort to forget, she turned to Shar's clergy for help and soon found herself addicted to the Comforting Embrace. Shar’s Comforting Embrace Description: This bitter draught is made from a secret blend of herbs known only to high-ranking members of Shar’s clergy. It is often given to lay worshipers who seek to dull painful memories. Type: Ingested DC10 Initial Effect: -2 to Int and Wis for the next 2d4 hours Secondary Effect: User gains a +2 bonus on all Fortitude saves to resist pain and may take normal actions even if disabled or dying. Price: 50 gp/dose Side Effects: User cannot make use of any Knowledge skills while under th...

When the time came to start gathering characters for my Play-by-Post Campaign , I started reaching out to my players, explained what I had in mind and asked them to pick the characters that they wanted to use. One of the guys choose his 1st edition Magic-User Malazzarr.  Malazzarr's character sheet had long been lost to the passage of time and we had only the vaguest recollection of the adventures he had been on and what he was capable of doing. So, we remade the character and I started filling in what history I could remember, added some details, and cleaned up the backstory as best I could.  I used a combination of the D&D Rules Cyclopedia and 3.5e's Deities and Demigods to generate his abilities and we went from there. This then, is the story of Malazzarr's Rise to Power, His Fall, and His Second Rise.  - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -3552 DR: Malazzarr is born in the recently founded vi...
