Best Game Summary Election 8/01/08

[VemuKhaham]

All ye DM's out there, it's one more day before the deadline! If you haven't yet done so, put up your summary to join the election! Or just put up your summary so that it can be included in the next newsletter. I would especially ask Kman, cause he's dm of so many of the games currently running, if he can find the time to put his games up. Cause it seems in general there is far more interest for the Highlights than for the Game Summary elections, though we've all talked about the need for adequate and up-to-date game summaries for newbies. So come on!

{Wow...called out by name. Can't ignore that...}

Go Find Your Dead
D&D 3.5

Years ago, a group of unknown heroes rose to defeat an unspeakable evil and save the lands from certain destruction. These heroes became legends in turn, each leaving their legacy etched into the tomes of time. Some became Kings, others became stories whispered across the lands.

But out of this crop of heroes was also born the continuation of evil.

One of the heroes--through a series of misfortunes and tragic, fated events--fulfilled a prophecy and turned his body into a gate for evil. Upon his death, his bones became artifacts that had to be separated for if they were ever joined again, evil would consume the earth.

Time passed, the bones remained dormant, but now evil has arisen. Deathspeakers, they are called, fight battles and collect the dead from both sides and build a new army of unlife. They threaten the lands with their horrible walking dead and ineffable power. In an effort to stop the war with the Deathspeakers and prevent annihilation, the new heroes are in a frantic search for the bones of the fated hero.

History repeats itself, new heroes have risen…and they bear the fate of the world on their shoulders once again.

Expedition to Castle Ravenloft
D&D 3.5

A lone figure steps out onto a balcony, beady black eyes surveying the town far below shrouded in fog. He is dressed in fine clothing, centuries old in fashion. His face is long, his hair slicked back to a flat sheen on his head. He is undead, he is Strahd.

Off in the distance a lone wolf howls, soon joined by dozens of others. Some howls are animal, others are monstrous. They howl not for the moon or for pleasure, but for reverence of their master. He is the night, he commands the darkness…and he wants to hunt.

The gaunt man grips the rails, lifeless veins that no longer pump blood form beneath taught, pale skin. Hair sprouts, his face elongates with the sickening crunch of breaking bone and stretching flesh. He feels no pain from the transformation, his soul having never again felt pain as that night centuries ago. Clothing melts, features disappear until the master of the castle is no longer a man, but a monster.

Despite his monstrous form, his lips still manage to form a single word.

”Ireena…”

He leaps from the balcony. The hunt begins…she will be his this time...

Hey Vemu--you mentioned that this was supposed to be only currently running games. Of Masks and Men isn't around anymore.

[VemuKhaham]

Yeah, I figured that much. But I was going to let it slip through unnoticed, but of course I can't do that with you bunch. Anyway, let's call it an exception, cause I didn't want to have Spiral write his summary for nothing. Things are just starting with these elections, and I'm being merciful as we're all getting accustomed to the rules.
