Topic: QotW: Inspiration
Subject: .,.
I'm inspired from a lot of different places, but two really stand out to me at the moment. The first is definitely cinema. I've gotten a lot of the themes and ideas for Slate from post-apocalyptic dramas such as Mad Max and the Terminator franchise. While I hesitate to say that I steal I certainly look to places like that for atmospheric inspiration.
The second place I go when I need the divine touch is music. I'm not talking about the music I listen to daily - sure, everything Zep wrote is in some way Tolkienesque, but it doesn't engage my imagination in the way that I want. I've got a world setting I'm working on right now that was inspired more or less entirely by Massive Attack's Mezzanine.

Well it has been one heck of a weekend. Company every day, going out and enjoying myself like some kind of heathen. It has been madness. I apologise for leaving you guys hanging with no answers for the past few days.
Nomad, I see now that I didnt move the swordsman on the map as I described in the post. I've updated the map above to reflect the correct position.
Looking forward everyone's next post!

Topic: The Evil Best Left Buried
Subject: ...
Vengador was doing a fantastic job interviewing the pilgrims. Aedan did his duty, standing on the outside of the group and keeping the pilgrims to the center. He wanted to flank Vengador where he could hear the discussion a little better, but he still managed to take a few notes. Everything these people said was useful information, both for the party's own wellbeing and for future ballads. The act of writing busied his mind and kept fear at bay, but he kept The Hammers loose in their sheathes.
Crandel by dark. That was the goal, though Aedan wasn't sure it was realistic in this fog and under threat of attack at any moment. Whenever Aedan looked up from his notes he was certain he could see horrible ghostly faces forming and suddenly dissipating into the fog. Still they marched through the clammy mist. Crandel by dark. Aedan put his diary away and drew his what he considered his only real weapon: the dulcimer. No song burst forth from the strings yet, but Aedan felt certain his time to play would be soon. Crandel by dark.

I just want to say, this particular question was very helpful to me. I realized the answer I gave was the ideal I held but I rarely stuck to it, and I've affected a positive change in my style because of it.

Topic: Slate: The Hundred Years of Rain
Subject: More fighting!
A fine mist began to take form as the acidic rains blew in once again. Despite the cover it stung every open eye and burned in every open wound like vinegar. The smell was dull, like stone and hot steel. This belied the true nature of Rain: once it began in full, it could dissolve flesh and disintegrate minds.
Athelia looked unsurprised by this new development. She glanced at Geoff's face, sensing a tactical maneuver, and took a quick step to the right. She knew she was giving herself very little protection from the oncoming weather but it seemed likely she wouldn't need to worry about that for very long. Her twin blades came down in dull arcs, both finding skin beneath the blinded woman's armor.
Seeing his ally's quick sidestep, Geoff did the same. He shook off his entanglement and struck the same blind woman with his inherited sword. She fell on the ground and blood ran around their feet.
Jacob had begun moving as soon as he saw Clary fall, perhaps even a moment before. He reached her before the dust had settled where her lifeless body lay, and wasted no time. He needed to pray. The chance the prayer would fall on deaf ears was one he had to take.
"Grum, Lord of the Wilds, though your children failed you and allowed you to be driven from your rightful place, please grant this servant a small part of your power, that he might continue along the path of your restoration."
As he spoke, the axe-woman saw a chance to swing on Jacob. She struck her mark and drew a trickle of blood, but fortunately Jacob's prayer went uninterrupted.
Somewhere, (on another plane perhaps) Grum the Maligned, God of Nature raised his dark eyebrow. A supplicant prayed to him. Nothing unsual, supplicants prayed to him all the time. He wasn't too keen on answering anymore. Something about this one, though. Something stirred within Eternal Grum. This one was embattled, and though this Thistle Brow did not know it, he fought for Slate itself. Worthy enough. Heal the young woman, and...
Elsewhere on the battlefield, Damian Dawnshine found himself facing down two enemies - both the spellcaster and her lover. It was their time to act, and the lover did so first. He took a step toward Damian and swung his greataxe through the air, connecting solidly with the leather armor on Damian's chest. It protected him, just as it was meant to do. He didn't fare so well against the caster, who struck him with a ray of silvery light. The ray didn't hurt, but Damian felt his grip on his quarterstaff loosen.
Fighting the snarling Silinrul, the axewoman swung her weapon with a surety. The wolf was too quick, and avoided her blow. On the other side of the field, the swordsman trudged past the dead priest and brought his sword down over Daxos. Again, a fleetness of foot won the moment as the sword found naught but air.
Clary stood, seemingly confused for a moment. It was, thankfully, only a moment. She took aim and fired on her would-be murderer, and the arrow lodged itself deep into the woman's armor. It was a solid hit. Silinrul took advantage of the moment, and buried her teeth in a patch of exposed flesh. Blood ran from the hole in her body, but the warrior woman did not yet fall.
A cry of panic was the first sign that Xana's spell had worked. It was the man, but his voice was falsetto. All around him and his lover were the tortured creatures that spiders had become. They crawled all over the pair, each creature uniquely twisted by the environment. Some ran on as few as two legs, while others seemed to have hundreds. All of them were the size of a large water token. The spellcaster fell once again to the ground, seemingly overtaken by the swarm. Her lover clawed at his face, still screaming in his high falsetto.
Seeking some kind of cover, Daxos moved toward the walled part of the pavilion. His first target was down, so he took aim and fired on the woman with the axe. He missed, but barely. The arrow struck her chainmail with a ting and lodged into the nearby wood.
The undergrowth was thick, and tripped up Damian as he ran from his enemy. The man, once again without his lover, swung his axe helplessly as Damian moved away. The terrain wasn't enough to cause him to fall, but Damian found he had made it less than half as far as he had intended to go. The prayer worked though. A blessing from Grum today.
A shrill cry split the cooling air. An eagle, majestic and red, swooped in from what seemed to be noplace at all. It swooped low over Clary's attacker, dodging the wolf's teeth and the woman's axe. It slashed at the enemy, and where it had slashed three little lines of blood welled up on the woman's neck.
It seemed the tide was turning, and all it might take to finish the enemy was one final push.
[[4 Damage to Jacob. Damian takes a 4 STR penalty for two rounds. The leader has died. The leader's wolverine has died. Damage to the Sword Woman (downed). Damage to the Axe Woman. Damage to the Axe Man. Damage to the Caster (downed)]]

These monsters are a little too spooky. Maybe we should go back to town and have our weapons reformed into farm implements.
Or we could follow these guys to Crandel. I'm just sayin', it would be safer to go home, probably. Safe is what we came here for, right?

Its both. I started out wanting to make a game that took Pathfinder feats and ideas where applicable and added them in to 3.5, but after a bit I realized that just made it Pathfinder, so I've been defaulting more to those rules. I'll admit its sloppy but its working so far.

Guys, the Inn has slowed back down a bit. Let's give it another oomph and try to keep things going!

The way I like to play armor is closer to the D&D version with a slight modification. Really it's just a narrative difference, but I prefer as follows:
If you roll under base AC (usually 10), it's a complete miss and the attacker's fault for missing.
If you roll above 10 but less than touch AC, the enemy has dodged the attack.
If you roll above touch but below AC, your attack strikes the armor and does no damage.
