On the dissapearance of Zxay'yseyzr Yerr'keyr'En (Jack)

Jack's mysterious and sudden disappearance has gone completely unexplained, as he left no notes and told no one any information as to the reason for his absence. The only two clues are the fact that his message carrying pigeon may have been spotted foraging for itself around Tol Vanima, Troll's Bane...

Look here's the problem There are no models for gnomes, fairies, goblins, rotworms and beholders. So they can't be set towards paperdolling.

Skillgain needs a complete overhaul, not just a candy for mages/fighters/cooks. There are fundamental flaws that lead the current speed of skillgain, those have to be adressed first. Do not exspect any change anytime soon, we are aware of the problem, but we have to find a real solution! Can I ask ...

Honestly, Nordmark is the one town that seems to be least important and developed (assuming that you don't count Zyzathis, which can't even really be called a town with it's current level of development). Not only is it so far out of the way that it is difficult to get there (and no teleporter that ...

4. There are 3 'special' races - gnomes, goblins and fairies - to make them you need to write a story about them (to 'prove' you're good at roleplaying them) - those are the most underpopulated. Otherwise, its the usual. We no longer grant people the right to play gnomes, goblins and fairies becaus...

A smaller than average lizardfolk sees the note at the town gate, reads it and seems to be a bit perplexed by it. He then speaks in words that show a practiced enunciation, certainly far more than most lizardfolk that one may meet. "That's strange, I know the mage of which he speaks and have fo...
