Re: The Lost Journals
(Excerpts from the journals of Alexander Dreamfire, Esmerth, Shadow Rift, ??, ??) The Courts changed rulership for the year a week ago. I was introduced to Loht and almost immediately we disliked each other. To him I'm an interloper that has no business associating with the Arak in general, much le...

Re: The Lost Journals
(Excerpts from the journals of Alexander Dreamfire, Malachite Palace, Shadow Rift, ??, ??) It's been three weeks since I last wrote. I think. Without the usual cycle of day and night it's easy to lose track of time. And with most of my time spent buried in books and scrolls, things have been runnin...

Re: The Lost Journals
(Excerpts from the journals of Alexander Dreamfire, Viktal, Tepest, June 30, 741 BC) Research into my "condition" has stalled as I've exhausted all known records from the Core and even a few domains lost in the Mists. What scant few references I could find to beings who had any sort of ef...

Re: The Lost Journals
(Excerpts from the journals of Alexander Dreamfire, Mordentshire, Mordent, June 2, 741 BC) I'd been out of the country for the past month helping the Force in Sturben after we began receiving refugees from Teufeldorf. The Barovians have completely annexed the area and displaced several Gundarakite ...

Re: Great video games to play with a Gothic atmosphere
Tormented Souls is an indie survival-horror game that plays like the love child of Resident Evil and Silent Hill . It's a great example of "the evils men do" mixed with distinctly supernatural horrors and tricks that wouldn't be out of place for the Mists (including two instances of time ...

Re: The Lost Journals - Comments
Thanks for the replies, folks. Like I said, I've made peace with reality and I'll leave this mortal coil with no regrets...so long as my cat lives out his natural lifespan first. Some people have spouses and/or kids, I have a feline friend.

Re: The Lost Journals - Comments
Unless there's a process to replace potentially-cancerous cells with healthy ones, there isn't much I can do to reverse the damage I'm facing. My doctors are amazed I lived this long given my medical history, and I've made peace with the fact my remaining life is measured in years at best, rather th...

Re: The Lost Journals
(Excerpts from the journals of Alexander Dreamfire, Mordentshire, Mordent, Feb. 28, 741 BC) Today marks the first day in months I've not had something demanding my attention. It also marks the day I finally found out what has been bothering Rudolph this past year. It seems I was half-right; it did ...

Re: The Lost Journals
(Excerpts from the journals of Alexander Dreamfire, Mordentshire, Mordent, Oct. 4, 740 BC) Things seem to have settled down across the land for the most part. The social and political fallout of the so-called Great Upheaval is still ongoing but the worst of the natural disasters seem to have passed...

Re: The Lost Journals
(Excerpts from the journals of Alexander Dreamfire, Mordentshire, Mordent, March 30, 740 BC) Rudolph has gifted me a copy of his Guide to the Ancient Dead and, as I feared, he's reached the same dangerously incorrect conclusions that countless generations of other scholars have. Namely claiming tha...

Re: The Lost Journals
Editor's Note: The remainder of the year is remarkably uneventful in M. Dreamfire's journals. At several points he actually expresses some gratitude for such since it left him with time to take care of business concerns. But we know our readers would be quite bored with such talk. Instead, we've ch...

Re: Falkovnia discussions (3.X version)
I always focused on the "human" evils of Falkovnia when I ran things in the domain. Whereas most other domains are defined by the supernatural horrors present, Falkovnia is defined by the more mundane and all-too-real horrors perpetrated by people. Especially by those in power and those wh...

Re: Why is Victor Mordenhiem a woman now?
Considering how "woke" Wizards of the Coast has become, I'm surprised they didn't try and gender-swap more darklords. And given how this sort of thing has gone over with fans in every other media I can think of, it's going to be quietly reversed in due time because no one wants such revisi...

Re: The Lost Journals
(Excerpts from the journals of Alexander Dreamfire, Egertus, Nova Vaasa, March 13, 739 BC) Gregorian's progress learning to control his dreams is astounding. He was already somewhat skilled in lucid dreaming and thus capable of recognizing he was dreaming as well as exerting a very limited control....
