To the north lies the bitterly cold and tempestuous Sea of Claws. The sea separates the Empire from the lands of Norsca, where Marauder tribes beseech the forces of Chaos for glory and power and vast monsters make their lairs in the fjords.
Whilst the chaos of the Turmoil subsides, an invigorated Empire seeks to leave civil strife behind and look towards the future. All eyes turn to Salzenmund in hope that it may provide opportunity and secure the Empire's coastline.
Along the Empire's roads, the dead walk. Called from their slumber by a necromancer's profane whispers, or buried where dark magic saturates the ground, these Undead march without rest, adding to their number with each hapless soul they cross. Whether such bands move with a purpose or wander aimlessly, they often find themselves the centre of folk tales.
Four 'Honest' Hirelings for Warhammer Fantasy Roleplay The Old World is steeped in threat. Death can be found in the unnatural creatures circling at the edge of civilisation, in the whims of a cold hearted noble, or at the blade of a desperate thief.
Hello, and welcome to Jim Henson's Labyrinth: The Adventure Game (we call it 'the Labyrinth', for short). This book contains everything you need to play in and run your own version of the Labyrinth. Have you ever asked the question: what if Sarah asked the Helping Hands to go up rather than down?
The other day, while conducting research on the latest games (and not procrastinating on Facebook, no matter what anyone says!) I stumbled upon an article on the WNYC. The article's title: Dungeons & Dragons Rolls Into The Classroom . My mind immediately went back to my first days as an English teacher.
The dream nets stirred in the early morning breeze, their strands stretching out high over the rooftops. Miya tried to focus on them as she clambered over the rickety platforms. The dream merchants had already stripped away the large dreams, decanting fantasies of riches and power into tankards ready for those who could afford them.
Toasted Cake #234! In which we find the daffodils. A witch's garden. Agnes had read about them in fairy stories. This story is original to Toasted Cake. Samuel Poots is a writer from N. Ireland who communicates primarily by means of Pratchett quotes.
When was your first? That is always what we ask one another. When and what? When in your life was that moment, the time that revealed the world to you and sent you scurrying under the bed sheets? When I think back, the thing I always remember is the house.
