What, posting more of it here or getting on with the game? My slacking-ness extends into so many dimensions, I need specifics, you know....  |

I'm sorry, but knowing where Laerrigan came from and where he is now makes this all terribly amusing for me  . I think if anyone were to meet him now, they'd never recognize this Laerrigan and the older one as the same person, though I can certainly see how that one was shaped by these events.
And I'm not making other comments here because I've already sent them to you . |

Tease .
I've read the part you cut and it's not so rough as you say. Although it might be a good idea to skip ahead to when they try to get the box opened in town... Give 'em a really good idea of what a psychopath/ sociopath Dor is.
And you absolutely MUST post Cade's story on here . You know he's a personal favorite of mine. |

"To the north, nothing but scrubby grassland, dry and golden under the high, late summer sun."
Even if I didn't know where this was going, just seeing Dor in action would have probably been enough to clue me in. You haven't posted the best part  .

| I do like Dor. Good stuff Laerrigan. |
If I waited till I knew what I was doing, I'd never get anything done.

Thanks  I have to give credit for Dor to my husband, though, for his marvelous playing of that maniac (and his random Dor-commentary in day-to-day life). I just portray in writing the spirit of what he portrays in improvisation  He cracks me up and draws many martyred sighs from our longsuffering DM. |

I must say again that Dor is priceless... B should have spent more time with him .
I also have to say that I love some of the descriptions. A fine example - "held all the primal terror of a child that finally gathers the courage to look into his wardrobe only to come face-to-face with something so monstrous that the very sight of it rips away his sanity."

Anyone who likes to read something that's really dark and gritty and completely awesome ought to read The Night Angel Trilogy by Brent Weeks. You can check out a little taste at www.BrentWeeks.com I should probably warn you, though, that it is definitely not PG-13 :-D
He also started a new Trilogy with Black Prism, which may even surpass the Night Angel Trilogy in its awesomeness.

I never did do much thanking for the comments people have made, so consider this a thanks to all .
lol---my husband liked the racial stats for halflings but hated a lot of the racial description, so he made a halfling that felt the same way he did . Him playing the character for a while made us all decide as kind of a joke that he had to be half-gnome. And then when I read about stronghearts in the 3e FRCS, it was just so DOR, that sealed the nature of his other parent  . I have some later adventures as well, in which Dor meets halflings he LIKES (they're strongheart sailors with that dark purplish skin and dark reddish hair I read about somewhere, either published or something in So Saith Ed) and Laerrigan gets confusingly soft feelings for an aasimar slave-girl he saves , but it's all on my crashed HD.... |

I really have no idea at this point  . But thanks! That tabletop game hasn't run in a few years, now, and I kinda stalled out on inspiration where I left off (though there's still plenty of actual game events I haven't covered or played off of yet). To say nothing of having a major publishable writing project I'm supposed to be working on, all this time, but haven't been (directly, at least) for various reasons until just recently it looks like I'll be getting back into development for it....Irons in the fire   Maybe more will come to me for this one, after all the development Laerrigan has gone through since those beginnings. |
