• Did a rust monster snack on your holy symbol? Did your latest party member turn out to be a blood sucking fiend? Maybe that Wild Surge table turned your Fireball into a half-eaten sandwich.

  Sometime when life (or unlife) throws us a curve, profanity is our only means of non-lethal retaliation. So to help the verbally changed adventurer, our resident Jveltoan priestess conjured up this little incantation to help you swear with the best of them.

• It's amazing how much positive feedback we've received for offering great food ideas for gaming. For all you hungry gamers out there, here are four new tasty recipes that'll really hit the spot as the days turn colder.
  
  Baked Brie en Croute is great appetizer. The Diamond Star Stuffed Chicken Breasts or Mrs. Frazier's Roast Pork will fuel you up for winter and Myersdale Hot Chocolate will make you feel all warm and fuzzy.

• Please accept our apology for the extended web site outage. Verizon blocked all web servers on their ADSL network in an attempt to block the spread of the Code Red worm and our server was on their ADSL network. Please click Here if you care to read their notice about the "filter" which they placed on their network. We no longer are using Verizon, but the new connection and new server we have switched to should provide a noticiable improvement in speed.

• The Kingdom of Hurva is proud to unveil a new feature. Our Fantasy Book Review section will provide a place for us to not smply review books for their readability, but for how they inspire both DMs & players with role-playing ideas.

• There are ten new clergy NPC personalities listed in the Clergy of Note section. Four Chosen of Wajen and six Soltanities have been added to the noted clergy of Istur. Also, I relocated this entire section from the Almanac to the Peoples of Hurva under the Kingdom section. This seemed to be a more logical place for it within the site's format and cleans out the Almanac so that I can start adding geographic information there, as was my original intent.

• I added a very rough timeline of Hurvan history. Over time, I plan to edit and improve this.
• Two new additions to the Bard's Tale section: The Legend of Enjolras and the Fiend tells the tale of how the blessed paladin fought the red dragon Azeroth and met the love of his life. After that, you can learn how Sir Enjolras went on to change history in, The Founding of the Paragons.

Is your campaign still alive? Do you still game? Will you ever update your site again? Will you upgrade your site to 3e rules?

I've received a number of emails over the last year or so that shared these common questions. Now is the time to answer them.

Yes, the campaign is still alive. As is another campaign that my group has chosen not to chronicle or include on-line. Believe me, keeping up with the standards we set for ourselves makes keeping just one campaign on-line a demanding task!

Anywho, over the past year, I've gotten married and moved. This plus some work projects unfortunately left little to no time for gaming. Also, we've been going back and forth over making the switch to 3e. The finishing of the 'Gates of Firestorm Peak' adventure coupled with the hiatus of the last several months seemed to make it a natural time to switch. Despite my group's overall love of 3e, it became clear that it would be more difficult than we originally believed to make the switch, due to the large number of our house rules that are problematic with certain changes made in 3e. (Such as the fact that all of the Hurvan clerics would either be new classes or prestige classes under 3e rules) We have had our first several gaming sessions (maintaining 2nd ed./Player's Options) this year, and I think we'll be getting back to our normal once every 2-3 weeks sessions that have been going on for at least six years now. There are now updates to all three campaign journals. Slowly, but steadily, we're working on a conversion to 3e. When that will be complete, I honestly don't know. The new house rules section for that will be quite extensive I fear, especially regarding spellcasters and converting the myriad NWPs which we love to skills & feats. I will not post the new 3e house rules till I feel they are at least somewhat complete and workable.

Thank you all for your concern that we might have gone away. You are too kind.

• Lots of new journal entries. Literally hundreds of pages for your reading enjoyment! Four new Ester Send Letter, Four new Jven Letters here as well as at least six of the latest entries in Nikita's Journal since last I've updated this page. This wave of writing chronicles the dramatic conclusion to the Gates of Firestorm Peak and how the characters discovered that the vessel that rescued them from a plague ridden city was really a Ship of Horrors.
• For use during the recovery operations in the Ship of Horror module, I summarized and streamlined underwater adventuring rules from a variety of sources.
• A new dessert to indulge in! Endurance Rum Cake. Our group really enjoyed this alcohol-laced dessert at the same time our characters were receiving their rum rations while adventuring on the high seas.
• If you haven't noticed them already, be sure to check out the more realistic looking wax seals on our home page and on the Kingdom intro page.
