Re: Returning to the Road Crew to tour The Dying Earth!
Last time in The Dying Earth, the "pilgrims" to Erze Damath find themselves somewhat unwelcome (what, with the demons rampant in the holy city in the middle of oblations) so sought out the source of a black crystal plague they encountered. This ended them up in the Cave of Secrets nestled ...

Re: Returning to the Road Crew to tour The Dying Earth!
Well, I had a group of pilgrims reach Erze Damath! The unique players from game 1 (who chose the plains route) couldn't make it, so I ran the rest of the second group along the plains- after all, they travelled north a couple miles to ford the Wyr. I had 6 players with 2-3 characters each. They abso...

Re: Returning to the Road Crew to tour The Dying Earth!
Hmm... my games aren't showing up on the Events Calendar. I wonder if I'm doing something wrong, or if they're just busy getting the print copies out? Anyway, next game will be Sunday and the hopeful conclusion of the funnel. Time to cull the weak and unlucky to make way for some level 1 adventurers...

Re: Returning to the Road Crew to tour The Dying Earth!
Before I begin, let me inform you of my house rules: 1. The first time you play DCC with me, you must use randomly generated zeroes per the book, as Crom intended! After that, we'll see... 2. If you complete the funnel with surviving zeroes but would still rather roll up your own, you can trade them...

Returning to the Road Crew to tour The Dying Earth!
Hail, all ye magnificent magicians, clever wayfarers, squalmy witches, and all things that crawl from the vats! Be warned that I have returned to lead a charge across the Dying Earth, lest the sun wink out before we have seen it's like! The Pilgrims of the Black Obelisk are well on their way to Erze...

Hail and well met, denizens of the dying Earth! I resurrect this thread via Senfir's Redoubtable Reambulation for the purpose of predisposing you to new evidence.

Let the cry of Bueller go forth once more and rally our forces!

Despite the nearly irresistible curiosity, Kylessa averts her eyes from the tank containing the so -called "medusa-fish hybrid". Unwilling to touch the strange orange material besmirching the tome, she resolves herself to sate her appetite for arcane lore on less tainted fare hoped for fa...

Re: The Corpse That Love Built - PbP
Kylessa moves toward the book carefully, eyeing the cages warily with dagger drawn. Could this be the mad doctor's notes? Or better yet, a spellbook? She eyes the open pages not wanting to touch the gelatinous substance unless she must.

Kylessa enthusiastically claps Hodin and Obadiah on the back, grinning furiously. "Good show, gentlemen!" Then, quietly, "Why do you suppose the other two didn't attack?" Considering this (and their responses) for a minute, she shrugs and begins collecting a sample of the twitch...

Murmuring an incantation, Kylessa quickly produces a knife and pricks her finger. She then pops her bloodied digit into the mouth of her doll, nursing it on her Strength to power her spells once more...

She shrinks back from the bizarre sight of the "guards" moving toward Obadiah and Hodin.
The casting of Spider Climb with the roll I made should last 10 minutes, along with the mercurial effect of extra eyes. Just let me know when the time has elapsed, GB.

The Triad attains the top of the wall and moves cautiously toward the gatehouse.
