ADMIN NOTE: This thread should have been in "Around the Campfire" long ago, as it is regarding stories of play and not actually discussion of other TSR games. My apologies that I took so long to move it to the right place.I ran a game of Top Secret on Saturday. First time running a game in a long time. If you want to read the rpg journals, they can be found in my Facebook notes, MySpace Blog (5 entries), or at Pen & Paper Games Blog: www.myspace.com/max_writer/blogwww.penandpapergames.com/forums/blog.php/8662-Max_WriterAs an aside, and though it is not a TSR game, I ran the first edition of Behind Enemy Lines a few weeks ago. It's also posted at the above links. I'm hoping to run some Dark Sun 2nd Edition in January (fingers crossed). Finally, if anyone would like to hear the audio of these games and others I've run in the last couple of years, you can find them here: www.zanysite.com/hub/max_writer/

Orin: Half-Giant Fighter Ran Ger: Human Ranger Varthir Maricorum: Elf Preserver Aeoleus: Half-Elf Cleric (For the unenlightened amongst us...) What is a "Preserver"? An "Elf Preserver" could easily be a taxidermist who specialises in fey creatures ;D |

In Dark Sun, wizards draw their power from the life forces of the earth. There are two types of spell casters: preservers and defilers. Defilers kill, destroy, and draw the life from the environment around them to cast their powerful magics, while preservers temper their spell casting power in order to preserve the environmental life around them.

You are correct sir. Actually, in the revised and expanded edition of Dark Sun, defilers drew their power when they memorized their spells (which I thought was kind of lame - but I'm guessing they put it in so that players could more easily play defilers).

It's taken me too long to get this one written up. On August 3, I ran a game of Ravenloft (AD&D 2nd Edition) using the Masque of Red Death setting. The name of the scenario was Falls Run and the write up can be found here in three parts: www.penandpapergames.com/forums/blog.php/8662-Max_WriterIt's LONG as we played for over six hours and there was a great deal of great role-playing. Characters were: Robert Blair (Soldier/Explorer) Dr. Jacob Heintz (Tradesman/Doctor) The video for the entire game (for which the write-up is kind of a transcipt) can be found on youtube here: www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL1567AAFBD4864D1B&feature=view_all |
