Valley of Blue Snails: The Land of Rabbits
http://valleyofbluesnails.blogspot.com/2010/08/land-of-rabbits.html
Thursday, August 5, 2010. The Land of Rabbits. In the western most reaches of the Lodoga lay the Durns of Laskemma, a charmed land of pleasant vales and blue-green pines. Despite its natural beauty, therein lay one of the greatest perils of the west, the Kammarissa, and the raging battles therein. It is here where no men dwell and the animals rise up with unwholesome demeanor. The Durns are widely avoided by all civilized races. Intruders are beset by one or more of the prime races therein, and cease...

Valley of Blue Snails: All good things.. rise from the dead and make no morale check
http://valleyofbluesnails.blogspot.com/2010/08/all-good-things-rise-from-dead-and-make.html
Monday, August 2, 2010. All good things. rise from the dead and make no morale check. So, it has been a little over a year and the initial Valley of Blue Snails campaign is now complete. I think I can consider it a success considering my esteemed cousin survived his tour in Iraq with (relative) sanity intact and managed to almost reach level 3 in the process. So a quick review of the game from my point of view:. A Giant Segmented Worm that spewed burning dirt-feces. Using Gmail exclusively to run it.

Valley of Blue Snails: Birthright Maps
http://valleyofbluesnails.blogspot.com/2010/08/birthright-maps.html
Thursday, August 12, 2010. For the past 10 years or so I have been playing in pbem/pbp Birthright. D&D games and it continues to be one of my favorite settings. This setting does not quite seem to die, and it indeed has its own subculture - especially in Europe for whatever reason. Probably because it is as close as D&D will get to Europe without being Hârn. I am currently playing in Empire's Twilight. And Dawn of the Second Golden Age. With Provinces and Text. August 12, 2010 at 7:48 PM. I played in one...

Valley of Blue Snails: Paper Art
http://valleyofbluesnails.blogspot.com/2010/08/paper-art.html
Wednesday, August 4, 2010. This is a small project I made with some left over Plexiglas and colored construction paper. Although image is small, the original is 18x24 (larger image here. The Plexi is 3/8 and I ended up using 6 pieces, each with a cave cut out. This was then stacked to give it some depth. Unfortunately photos are static so you can't feel the depth, but I asure you it is the shiz-nile. At least that is what I keep telling myself. August 4, 2010 at 7:48 PM. August 4, 2010 at 7:52 PM. You co...

Valley of Blue Snails: Fast Zombies, Slow Zombies
http://valleyofbluesnails.blogspot.com/2010/08/fast-zombies-slow-zombies.html
Monday, August 23, 2010. Fast Zombies, Slow Zombies. I have always had a rather clear idea of how I wanted undead in my games and what their origin would be. This ties fairly closely with Clerics, religion and has a bit of Dante's Inferno in it as well:. Now for the actual undead:. Shadows are those that found no joy in life or god. They exist two dimensionally and are horribly wrathful beings who spite everyone and everything. They are humanoid shaped but are of the darkest black, and move very ...Ghast...

Valley of Blue Snails: May 2009
http://valleyofbluesnails.blogspot.com/2009_05_01_archive.html
Tuesday, May 19, 2009. Erol Otus Art Challenge. I entered in the Erol Otus Art Challenge. And picked up two honorable mentions (and free loot as well). It is rather strange to have an iconical artist of D&D give your chicken scratch a look over and give a nod. This certainly exceeded my expectations and I am quite pleased. 4-5 of the entries were spot-on works for the Erol Otus era of D&D art and I look forward to the enlarged versions when they post them. I recommend taking a loot. Links to this post.

Valley of Blue Snails: FEAST!
http://valleyofbluesnails.blogspot.com/2010/08/feast.html
Tuesday, August 10, 2010. Otter’s post at Huge Pile spoke of having to spend gold to gain experience. Which it very much in line with the type of feel I would like for my games. I have a tavern map in fact that is probably the most-used map that I have for all of my gaming. So here is some feast-fluff:. BEST FOOD/DRINK AVAILABLE, D20. Description of average meal followed by max cost. City/village size should adjust this roll appropriately. 10 Ginger, dates and pine nuts with cooked groats. Stew with ...

Valley of Blue Snails: December 2008
http://valleyofbluesnails.blogspot.com/2008_12_01_archive.html
Wednesday, December 31, 2008. B/X Dreams and Stranger Things. I will probably do away with Vanician. Magic although I still like the idea of spellbooks. Effect. Personally I like said 'insidious effect' since I can place in powerful spells at an extra cost - to me that is a Wizard. It is why PC should be damn fearful of crazy Wizards. Since the game will be pbp. Description only goes so far in my opinion and is a bit overly redundant for long combats, even with time to write them ala. How ever the real.

Valley of Blue Snails: FAQ
http://valleyofbluesnails.blogspot.com/2009/02/faq.html
Wednesday, February 4, 2009. I keep meaning to post a FAQ for folks that stumble across the site. I will link this post to the right and update it as necessary. What is Valley of Blue Snails? Mainly this blog will cover my notes in the creation process. I don't even know what exactly I will be creating yet; perhaps a new rule set, most likely a setting, and definitely some kind of starter for a online rpg. Why 'Valley of Blue Snails' name? What is the scope of Valley of Blue Snails? Sorry no. The onl...
