Motivational Poster
A sample from a rather large collection of motivational posters I've gathered over the past year. I thought it might be best to let my players know what they can expect for tomorrow's session.

Gem Wars World Map
Since my players kept losing it, I've uploaded the map of my DnD campaign to this blog. I hope this makes it clear where this blog got it's name.

Serenity: The Other Half
Firefly isn't completely over yet, with two published comics (Those Left Behind & Better Days) and another one in the works (The Shepherd's Tale).
And that's not even counting the free online Serenity Comic: The Other Half!
PS Firefly was named to best TV show of all time by a recent poll... again.

The continuation of the campaign
When we last left our heroes, they had just secured the gem of elements. After the great whale guardian was slain, the small fishing village nearby threw a large party, fed and lit by whale. Most of the heroes joined in on the festivities, but not all. Using the festival as a distraction, John Fox annexed one of the small fishing boats to help continue their quest. Using their newly acquired boat, they traveled to Lightpoint where they hoped to find a larger boat (and steal it without the cleric noticing) to take them to the Three Cities of Katarna where another gem might reside.
So shortly after arriving, they left the cleric behind and snuck away to the harbor. There they encountered a crowd gathered around two people arguing. A captain of a merchant ship was refusing to set sail to the Three Cities because of the danger. The merchant who owns the ship, is demanding that the captain does what he is told and that the rumors have no basis of truth. The merchant then cries out that if the captain won't do his job, he'll just find a new one. It's at this point that our heroes stepped forward and offered to captain the ship to the Three Cities. The merchant agreed, and the old captain disagreed. The next day they set sail with the merchant ship, onward to the next gem. However on the way there, they planned to steal the ship away from the merchant by making the crew rise up against him. They hid the food, and claimed the merchant had given them insufficient supplies to make the trip. After which they graciously 'bought' new food in one of the villages on the route. Then they forged a letter from the merchant that because of their tardiness no one would be getting paid. After all this the crew had no problem that the heroes raised the pirate flag and set sail for the Isles of Bones, a known pirate hide-out and possible location of one of the Gems of Power. Our heroes where well under way when disaster struck.
Under the cover of a massive storm, two water drakes attacked the boat. Despite being quickly dispatched by the heroes, the drakes did manage to damage the boat enough so that it capsized under the force of the storm. Our heroes where thrown into the water, able to save only a handful of the crew. They gathered the driftwood remains of the ship and created a simple raft. After a few days of drifting, they stranded on the Isles of Bones.But the island seemed deserted, a few pirate ships remained half-sunk it the bay of the island. They then set out to explore the island in search of the Gem of Power.
A few hours travel later, they found a cave where they set up their camp for the night. During the night zombies sprang up from deep inside the cave but were quickly destroyed by the cleric on guard. The next day they set out to explore the cave, only to find their old cleric at the end of it. He called out to the heroes, claiming that they had abandoned and replaced him. The cleric had killed the guardian that had been there and was now wearing the gem. the heroes quickly killed him but had more trouble with the Bone Nagas which had been under his control. They now had the Gem of Life but were stranded on an island with no way to get back to the main land.
