The Great Sigil Trading House, or, “Elysium Wool Is Soooo Hot Right Now”

May 10, 2015 by multiplexer

Don’t, they point out, ship goods across downtown Sigil. Don’t be the tiny bison guy. Use the gate towns. That’s what they’re for – so to speak. Build up big warehouse networks, find goods on Planes, and move in bulk. Bulk is where the big money is at.

DM Chronicles, Session 11: When the stars are right, we get Planar Awesomeness! Part 3

February 13, 2008 by The Chatty DM

DM Chronicles, Session 11: When the stars are right… Planar Awesomeness! Part 2.

February 12, 2008 by The Chatty DM

See part 1 here. Also, please note that while the adventure is technically Expedition to the Demonweb Pits, about 90% of what happened last session was homegrown.

Previously in Phil’s game… Our heroes investigate a series of Drow raids on Elven interests in Ptolus. Re-visiting familiar (under)grounds again, they meet and vanquish numerous Dark Elves and recover interesting documents.

About the Author

  • multiplexer

    Emily used to write for pen-and-paper RPGs (Steve Jackson Games, Guardians of Order, White Wolf). She disappeared into the AAA Game Industry for a while to "build an MMO" because "it sounded like fun." Then she wandered out and now writes about applying modern economic principles to very un-modern murder hobo and magic slinging wizard banker infested worlds. During the day she does crazy computer things. She has a husband, a child, and a small orange dog named for Arthur Schopenhauer. She reads history, politics, economics, and philosophy for fun.
