It's Obvious Now

Thursday, May 24th, 2007

The enemy we are fighting casts Invisibility, and disappears from view. This causes some problems with those in the party who are incompetent enough not to be able to cast See Invisibility. 'I don't know what I can do against an invisible enemy. I suppose I'll have to be on the defensive until the spell […]

Demon Dad

Thursday, May 17th, 2007

The mansion of the father of the girl we were hired to rescue was suspiciously empty of the father and rather more suspiciously occupied by a succubus and some henchman.

Of course, we begin to investigate and Wendel jumps […]

Thursday, May 3rd, 2007

Zoso linked to a post from Raph about how some games are akin to a 'treadmill'.

[Treadmills] do not present variegated challenges nor truly new ways to interact with the model. This […]
