Behold, AWESOMETON (j/k)



This is a rough sketch of the kingdom in which our story is going to take place. Each of the small squares are little villages focused around farming, mining, fishing, etc. Some of them will contain a store or an inn, but for the most part they will just be a rudimentary collection on houses. The circles are full on towns. Being centers of trade, they will have quite sizable selections of inns, bars, and traders and craftsment of all sort. There is only one city in the region which is the hexagon in the northeast. This is a major city and it houses the vast majority of the non-Human residents of the realm. It is the artery through which all trade and culture flow in and out of the kingdom. The triangles are various temples and religious centers. The temple furthest to the west (in the mountains) is the monk monastery. Our adventures will begin in and around the temple in the south (situated an even distance between the two southern towns).

The three pointed turret is the main castle fortress of the kingdom. It is the seat of the monarchy which rules the realm (more information on the social structure of the kingdom later). The two pointed turrets along the eastern border are the various old fortresses of the kingdom. Though the kingdom is not at war, much of the nation's sparse army is situated in these locations, holding off relatively regular raids by barbarians and other outsiders seeking access to the rich countryside of the kingdom. To the distant north of the kingdom is the ocean and to the south are a collection of the remnants of old villages and barren plains.

I think that is all that I will reveal for now about the geography (and hopefully that makes up most of what you guys will need for you adventures). This is a relatively large space with the distance between most villages being about a 6 hour march (one solid day of travel). Okies. Hit me with any thoughts.

SWEET AMBROSIAL JESUS-FECES!!

Or Jeces as I like to call it. Some god, somewhere finally decided that I deserved to get what I had passionately and sweatily cried over for so many nights. They have updated Brad Neely's website, and guess what, there are like 10 new B. Neely cartoons. The Neelz is back. I love you B. Neelzie.

*Side Note: I cannot look at the preview frame from the Pig Man post for too long without feeling sick to my stomach.

I still haven't forgotten about D&D

You know how sometimes, two unusual things meet and then they meld to become something beautiful:



Yeah, that didn't happen here at all.

Cyrus, lvl 2 Blogger / lvl 6 Internet Sifter

So, we all know (Marcello knows) how badly I want to play a pen and paper rpg. That said, I have DLed every single resource from the first edition of AD&D. Gents... Guys... Fellowmentlemen. I think we should all get together and play some Dungeons and Dragons. I will write up the campaign and all that, you guys just have to get way to into it and cry after I get all power happy and unnecessarily kill the characters you worked so hard on. It'll be great.

Seriously though. I would really love to try out D&D. To help convince you, I have captioned this picture from the Unearthed Arcana resource book:


"Why have I wasted so many years fucking my unicorn... Ugghhhh tome, I love you baby."

If you are interested, think about your class/role choices. Call me.
