In an effort to share our game play, we have built a site were we will publish all our game chronicles from the Keep on the Shadowfell adventure, and the oncoming games in that serie. The address to the site is: http://web.comhem.se/mwester/Shadowfell/index.htm Here is a short preview from the game introduction: Salkazar stopped and squinted into the setting sun. The road in front of them winded over a stony landscape filled with bushes, which at times was replaced by small pockets of windblown trees in the hollows and crevices where their roots could find moisture and water to live. The landscape was so different from the stone and desert terrain which was his home down in the south, beyond the Dragon Mountains. "Dawn will soon be upon us. Should we not already have reached the inn? The inn keeper said it would only be three days of travel from his inn", said the towering dragonborn warrior, with a booming voice that he apparently found difficult to adapt to the human language. He turned to his companion who was at least a head shorter than he, if not two. Wilgeon did not respond immediately, but instead looked towards the setting sun without squinting. His half-elf eyes were untroubled by the sun's last rays. "Have faith brother. Bahamut rewards the true believers. Over there", he said, pointing towards the horizon, right into the setting sun. "I see a building. It is probably the inn they refered to. We will have a roof over our heads this night Salkazar, do not worry", said the half-elf with a big smile towards the large scaleclad warrior ... There is more to come as we are translating from our native Swedish. We really appreciate people that can help us correct bad English, wording or phrases we might have misused. All comments is greatly appreciated.

Heh, did you houserule beards back onto female dwarves? I'm referring to this: “... She was cheap, but without a BEARD,” Other than the choice of colors and background images ;) very nicely done. I use do this for entire campaigns, each session one player would play 'scribe' and take notes of whatever happened during the session and then I'd turn that into works of fiction. I actually ended up with about several hundred page book out of one campaign that ran weekly for 18 months.

It renders ok on Internet Explorer version 6 or higher (as far as I have been able to check). But I am no web expert so I do not know how to fix this iFrame problem for Firefox. Maybe a web expert can help me?

She was cheap, but without a BEARD,” Yes, I liked the old notion of dwarven females having beard. But the text is also a word play of a swedish song but changing some words in it. Swedish habit of singing when we are drinking vodka you know

In this episode the party falls into the kobold ambush that start the Keep of the Shadowfell adventure, and Ovur gets good use of his maul. Ovur was walking and singing along the old Kings Road together with Illamad. Illamad had deliberately chosen to walk several steps behind the loud dwarf to avoid hearing his coarse drinking songs about mead and bearded women. They had travelled most of the day along the uneven and overgrown road. The terrain had changed during the day, but the landscape of open fields with occasional patches of forest had gradually been replaced by deeper woods with occasional clearings and flower filled grasslands. They had not met any other travelers along the old road. They hade come upon a few isolated farms, but most appeared to have been abandoned a long time, as the fields were overgrown with saplings and young birch trees. The Kings Road’s old cobblestones also testified that this road must have been a major transit in the old Nareth Empire before it fell apart and the old roads were forgotten. Patches of grass and moss made it difficult at times to see the old road in the forest canopy. However, it still seemed to be used, as individual wind felled trees had been cut and put aside. But it was quite obvious that the old road that once upon a time had been a major transit between different parts of the great empire, now laid in decay and ruin.... You can find the full episode at: http://web.comhem.se/mwester/Shadowfell/index.htm Any comments and suggestions appreciated
