A Land Far Away

Hello everyone: I hope the OOC forum is okay for this... and yeah, I know I've been a stranger lately. So hi! I am currently running a Play by Post campaign on Giantitp.com called Heretic's Bane. It's a primarily dwarven campaign. I have a few openings that are currently being handled as NPCs as pla...

Good to see you too! How have you been? Are you really in Qatar, based on your profile? Nice! Those minotaurs you turned into mercenaries back in the day, I use them quite prominently in the game I'm running actually. Kerik Many-Skulls and Gore, being two of the characters.

Nothing wrong with tavern RP. Or campfire RP. Like any good PnP session, it was a great way to get people together. We could all talk, swap stories, swap lies, and catch up with everyone. ALFA's pub life was fairly unique in my experience in gaming, as it was a great RP atmosphere. When you talk tha...

Still interested Vendrin; I need to download the stuff again though!

Hig would be happy to add in what he knows of the Shade War, I imagine. Although he'd have to leave out a couple bits too. LOL.

I'd be happy to help. I have some not-insignificant technical writing experience. WW is obviously very qualified for this; I'd just like to help.

It's not that bad without moderating, Bill. I doubt GF is totally against moderation. THIS level of moderation, however, is way too much. Do you honestly think we need some of the strictest on the net? In any human discourse, people are going to get feeling hurt and noses. If we try to protect ourse...

GF - Would you publically request that you do not want your election thread moderated? Would the moderators actually listen?

In the spirit of the "My sword, my axe and my bow" posts, which will probably be moderated, GF has my vote. For quite awhile, the joke has been that GF should run for PA again. Everytime the PA election comes up, people want him to run. It's not a running joke, either. Alot of us really wa...

Whats the status of the WD server? Still looking for DMs?

The Path of the Pilgrims While Taark and Barak Shanat led the main host, his own and adopted sons led their own independent armies of crusaders. While this arrangement was occasionally contentious and competitive, it was the only militarily practicable way to manage such a large force. Each of the ...

Sounds fun, I might be interested

New PC, of course...

The Call of the Crusade This plot finally caused a schism within the Church of Moradin in Thuulurn, splitting it between Crusaders and Traditionalists factions. Barak Shanat would serve as the High Sonnlinor of the Crusader faction of the Church of Moradin, claiming Thuulurn and driving out the Tra...

Bhaerynden and the Rise of the Shanats The history of Shanatar begins with the launching of the Great Crusade in -11,000 DR by Taark Shanat. Shanat was part of Bhaerynden, a vast multi-clan empire founded in -14000 DR under the Shaar and the first organized dwarven civilization. It sat in the cente...

Hello, While I'm not one to really share my writings, I thought I would post this as I'll be including the history on a new website I am working on: www.dwarfhome.com. With luck, it will be the most comprehensize site for dwarves in the Forgotten Realms. While this piece is a history that involves C...
