adding the individual feats pop-up pages for them.
-
August 23rd
-
August 9th
- Wow, long time no Update!! :-D Todays update
was to post the Letters of
Vanduin Silverthorn in the Bard's Corner. These letters
tell the continuing tale of the heroe's adventures. With
special thanks to Vanduin himself, for granting me
permission to share these letters with you all. (as well as
thanks to Milandre for giving us copies of them, eh? ;-)
-
June 7th
-
June 6th
- Added spells from the new Forgotten Realms Campaign Setting book To
the Magick section. Yeah, I use Greyhawk,
but they put some of my favorite spells, like Agannazzar's Scorcher and
Snilloc's Snowball, in the FR campaign book, so I hadda get it. :-)
- Also updated a few domains and added a few
domains because of the new spells in FRCS (and because the FRCS had some
new domains in it which I thought fit nicely into Greyhawk.
Hatred, Orc, Slime, Spider to name just a few.
- Added some spells from the Book of Eldritch Might to the Magick
page.
- Did some minor changes to formatting here and there to clean things
up.
-
June 5th additional
- Got the Alchemy page rebuilt
and back online, so that really horribly formatted pdf document has gone
bye-bye.
- Added Divine Aid
to the Feats page.
- Finished the work on the Feats
page, all popups should work properly and automatically focus if new
links are selected while a popup window is still open. As this
involved editing a LOT of pages, let me know if anything doesn't work, I
may have made a typo here and there.
-
June 5th
- All updates today are related to actually changes to pages, in terms
of how they are implemented, no actual new content was added to the
site.
- I am currently working on the new popup windows on the Training Hall,
and adding the onfocus events that allow the user to leave an initial
popup window open in which multiple selections from the main page will
then be displayed.
Currently, after the popup window opens, another selection on the page
WILL display in the popup window, but that window loses focus and hides
behind the main browser window...which is annoying. This merely
requires I go through all the html and add a one line script to each
html page (one page for each feat). Not a big deal, but will take
a bit of time.
I have currently completed this for all feats up to those beginning with
the letter D, and am going to go to sleep. Will finish the work
after I wake up. :-)
- In the ongoing work to make some of the pages on the site which have
gotten overly large download more quickly, I made the decision to
actually implement frames on the site. As of this point in time,
only the Training Hall uses frames.
That particular page had gotten very, very large, and frames were the
only smooth way I could think to keep the current layout style, while
providing much quicker load times. I imagine, as I implement more
and more CSS and java on the site, no one with a non-frames compliant
browser will be able to view any other parts of the site anyway so it
should be a moot point. (83% of the hits to the site are with IE version
5.0 or higher anyway).
- Cleaned up the appearance of the weapon charts in the
Armory and added hyperlinks to jump from a weapon in the table, to
its descriptive text below. I will actually finish this by
changing this page to use popups like on the Feats page in the near
future, unless I receive a lot of feedback that the popups aren't
working for a lot of people.
- Cleaned up the approach to viewing feat details from the Feats
Page. Now, if you click on a feat to see its description and
details, you get a popup window that displays ONLY the feat you clicked
on. This saves a lot of time, as the prior method of loading the
rather large feats page and then shooting to the bookmark was getting
quite slow. The method used to accomplish this was
implemented using a very small dose of JavaScript and SHOULD work with
any browser that isn't too out of date. Please email the webmaster
if you have any problems with it.
-
June 4th
- Added Defenders of the Faith spells to the spell lists for Clerics,
Paladins, Rangers
and Druids.
- Added Defenders of the Faith Prestige Classes to the Training
Hall. These classes are: Church Inquisitor, Consecrated
Harrier, Contemplative, Oracle, Holy Liberator, Hospitaler, Knight of
the Chalice, Knight of the Middle Circle, Master of Shrouds, Sacred
Exorcist, Sacred Fist, Templar, Warpriest
-
June 3rd
- Added Sacred Gear to the
new equipment listings at the Dry Goods
Store.
- Added Feats from Defenders of the Faith to the Feats
and Feat Master list pages.
- Broke psionic feats off of the main feats master list page to their own
page.
- Added a few new spells to the various spell lists in the Magicks
section.
- Broke out the Magick page into subpages by type of magic list, such
that each class has its own page, and special magic types (True rituals,
Wild Magic) have their own pages as well. This was done for
organizational purposes, and because the page was getting quite large
when everything was all together.
-
June 2nd
- Put the Downloads page back online. Other than the excel craft
skill calculator, all files are omniform files. Thus, those who
don't have omniform or the omniform filler application, need not apply.
- Finally, after all too long of a wait, the webmaster has received
Defenders of the Faith from Amazon.com. Expect the Training Hall,
Feats page and Magicks pages updates within the next few days.
Note, as Defenders of the Faith is copyrighted material, actual game
specific details and the like won't appear on the site, but enough
information will be presented so that players at least will know if they
are even remotely interested in the material from the source book.
And of course, the information will be integrated with all of the other
lists on the site, so that the pages will be a 'one stop' place to see a
list of ALL feats, prestige classes, etc. available (to save the need to
flip through 13 different source books to find what you're looking for).
-
May 10th
- Webmaster realized it does little good to update the site and then
forget to push the "publish to web button". Ooops
-
May 8th
-
May 1st
- Added 4 new prestige classes, the Fleet Runner of Ehlonna, the Mighty
Contender of Kord, the Radiant Servant of Pelor, and the Shining Blade
of Heironeous.
As can be expected from their names, these are all religious orders
dedicated to their respective gods. They aren't useful general
purpose prestige classes but they ARE great prestige classes for
paladins or clerics of those deities. As there have been few good
prestige classes for either clerics or paladins before, its nice to see
these 4 added. Details can be found in the Training
Hall.
-
April 16th
-
April 12th
-
April 10th
- Updated maps of Khundrukar page with
final, complete maps.
-
March 26th
-
March 25th
-
March 22nd
- The NEW site is up....didn't notice? Well, really, its the same
site, but we're at a new host, and www.stormkeep.net
is now OFFICIALLY the URL of this site (rather than just a pointer, like
it used to be). Redo any bookmarks you may have to reflect this
change.
-
March 18th
- Website fully recovered after problems with Tripod
-
March 15th
- Added session log for
last weekend's gaming session. This log (as well as the last few)
is brief, and light on detail. This is partly to save time,
but mainly to avoid spoiling anything for other players whose DM's
might also be running the Forge of Fury.
-
March 11th
-
March 7th
-
March 6th
- Implemented a House rule
regarding the stacking of Keen weapons and the improved critical feat
(and other similar threat-range improving abilities and powers).
-
March 3rd
- Updated the sub pages of the Barracks with
character sheets of the currently active members of the Dragons of
Light.
-
February 28th
- Due to the fact that psionic class characters fill a similar 'nitch'
to sorcerers, the sorcerer class was very slightly enhanced for my
campaign. Though the enhancement is small, it is incredibly
useful, making the class still a viable choice. Additionally, the
wizard class was granted a tiny enhancement as well so as not to
feel short-changed by the sorcerer enhancement. Details of the
changes are on the Character Creation
page.
- Added new skills from the Psionics Handbook to the Skills
page.
- Added new prestige classes from the
Psionics Handbook, these being the Slayer, Soulknife, Metamind and
Pyrokineticist.
- Added psionic feats
to the compiled feats page as well as the
master-list of feats.
- Added session log for the most
recent adventures of the Dragon's of Light.
-
February 19th
- Updated the details on demi-human
deities, finally putting in information (and the links to it) on all
of the gnomish and halfling pantheon.
-
February 18th
- On the heals of yesterday's update to the Flanaess map, I completed
adding the further western section of Zeif, as well as the island chains
of the Dramidj. Map reposted with
the extra extent of North Western areas.
-
February 17th
- I finally got around to going in and updating the
map of the Flanaess to reflect changes made for 3E Living Greyhawk
release. The new map is now up in the Cartography section.
- Additionally, 6 zoomed-in area maps were added (I divided the map into
6 portions and made larger images of each section) to preserve more
detail in web viewing. These maps can be reached by clicking on
the main map itself.
-
February 16th
- Made a minor 'tweak' to the alt.ranger
for the campaign, opening up the options and variable choices of the
class just a bit more.
- Dragon 281 showed up and its filled with psionic goodness, in
preparation for the soon-to-be-releases psionics handbook. Updates
today are from this issue of dragon.
- Added several prestige classes to the Training
Hall. These are the Arcanopath monk, Psi-Hunter, Truth Seeker,
and Zerth Cenobite monk.
- Added 3 unusual new weapons to the Armory;
the Bladed Staff, Panther Claw, and Double Scimitar.
-
February 15th
-
February 14th
- Updated the Town Crier and campaign
calendar with recent events.
- Completed the session log for the
last gaming day, where our heroes assaulted the Mountain Door.
- Put up a map of the Mountain Door in the
cartography section.
- Made a few updates to the prestige classes in the Training
Hall. These were merely a few minor corrections to
requirements of existing classes, as well as the addition of the
Runecaster and Arcane Devotee.
- Added a few more details to the house
rules regarding character classes, with most additions as regards to
monks and paladins and their multiclassing restrictions.
-
February 12th
- Finished updating wild magic
to the magicks and new
spells pages.
- Added Riposte, Shield and Spear style, and Craft Mage Focus to the
list of feats.
- Began (but have not yet finished) the adventure log for this weekend's
gaming session, continuing the saga of Khundrukar.
-
February 10th
-
February 9th
- Added the domains of Courage, Deceit, Fear and Justice to the list of domains.
- Yet more spells added to the magicks and
new spells pages, today's batch included a lot of spells of air or
sound nature, as well as a few others.
-
February 8th
-
February 7th
- Added the following prestige classes to the Training
Hall: Blood Adept, Crypt Lord, Incarnate, Penumbral Lord, Sea
Witch/Sea Warlock, Summoner and Vigilant
- True Rituals from Relics & Rituals added to Magick
page
- Wizard and Sorcerer spells from Relics & Rituals added to
Magick page
- Paladin and Ranger spells from Relics & Rituals added to
Magick page
- Cleric spells from Relics & Rituals added to Magick page.
- Bardic spells from Relics & Rituals added to Magick page.
-
February 6th
- Updated Domain spell lists with spells from Relics
& Rituals to reflect 'better fits' in many of the custom
domains, and even added a few of the new spells to the 'core' domains
from the PHB.
- Added a new skill, Ritual Casting,
to the Skills page.
- Updated the Improved Familiar
feat to reflect new monsters available, and to bring them in line with
the new greater and fantastical familiar lists.
- Added several new feats to the Feats page,
derived from the aforementioned Relics and Rituals. These
feats are Chain Spell, Hide
Spell, Greater Familiar and
Fantastical Familiar.
- I now have a few more new 3E products, most notably Monsters of
Faerun and Relics and Rituals. Relics and Rituals
is a d20 product by Sword and
Sorcery Studios, a part of White
Wolf Publishing, Inc. This book will result in numerous
updates to the site over the next few days. Order it for yourself here!
It was refreshing for me to see that SSS followed up their excellent Creature
Collection with another marvelously crafted and wonderfully
imaginative book such as this. I'd put Relics and Rituals
as a 'must own' product for D&D 3E, right next to the core
books. It is, imho, the best 3rd-party d20 product put out to
date. I think it even beats out any of the non-core WotC products
put out so far.
-
February 5th
- Opened up the world
of Mortalis site. This world is my creation, but is not being
used in the current campaign I am running. Instead, it will be the
base for Neverwinter Nights
campaigns I will run in the future. For this reason, the site is
not a top priority, but it will be worked on in my spare time.
-
February 1st
- Updated the Campaign Calendar and
the session log for the last gaming
session held.
- Finally got around to throwing the background music up for each of the
'active' hero's individual pages.
Some players specified music selection, and for the others I just picked
something.
- Added some character sketches to the Gallery
- Added new PC's to the barracks.
- Added pages for each of the heroes in the party, with picture and
background information (if any was provided by the player with the
character). These are sub-pages of the Barracks
-
January 25th
- Eldritch Master put up in the Training
Hall.
- Added a Guestbook to the site, I'd love it
a few people would like to leave their comments there.
- No other updates planned for a few days, I'm tired. :)
-
January 24th
- Put up the new Alchemist's Lab
page, detailing all kinds of new alchemical goodness, and added further
details regarding Alchemy skill on the
skills page.
- Addend new feats to the feats page.
These are from Dragon #280, the new feats being Enspell
Familiar, Extra
Familiar, Construct
familiar, Token
Familiar, and Undead
Familiar.
- Added new familiar spells to the Magick
Page. The new spells are Familiar's Sense, Familiar's Touch, Share
Life, Familiar's Form and Call Familiar. All from dragon #280.
- Added more familiars
to the Magick page, both from dragon #280 and a few of my own additions
to fill in 'gaps' that I felt were present. Also added all
familiars from the PHB to the table, to make it a complete list of
available familiars for the campaign.
-
January 22nd
- In keeping with today's theme of languages, a new feat, Linguist,
has been added to the feats page. This feat is most useful for
pc's who wish to be scholarly and want to pick up many languages, as it
can potentially save dozens of skill points over time.
- Added the language trees
for the campaign so pc's know what languages are related to others for
purposes of determining skill point cost for buying ranks.
- Clarified the language
skill and read/write, there was some confusion in the prior way it
was written as regards to skill points vs. ranks.
-
January 21st
- Completed the information on the Order of
the Golden Fist, monastery of Pelor in Dyvers.
- Went through all the images in the Cartography
pages and redid them as PNG files. This gives a smaller file size
then the jpg's, while actually preserving the colours better. On
the downside, the loss in resolution makes the files basically useless
for printing...but then, that doesn't matter to me, as I have the
original CC2 maps local. The increased load time for the pages is
a good trade-off. Anyone who actually wants to use these maps
themselves just has to email me if they want a higher resolution
version.
- Added addendums for the Tumbling Skill and Languages to the Miscellaneous
House Rules page.
- Added the Allure, Double Jointed, Fast Healer, Natural Immunity,
Improved Toughness, Improved Ambidexterity, Improved Mobility, Instant
Stand, Sense Magic, Signature Item, Signature Mount, Steady Hand feats
to the Feats page, to provide at least a small
long-term incentive for taking the rather under-powered Toughness feat
(by making it a prerequisite).
- Slid all of the Sword and Fist feats into the main feat
page so that now ALL new feats (those not in the PHB) are on one
page, in alphabetical order. Note, actual meta-game details for
the S&F feats were still left out, with only general descriptions
provided, as my goal is not to take money out of the pocket of WotC by
reprinting their sourcebook in its entirety.
-
January 20th
- Listed all the fighter bonus feats from core books and this site in
the Character Creation page
so those of fighter orientation can see all allowable feats at a glance.
- Added several new options for familiars to the Magicks
page.
- Added advanced weapon specialization feats to the feats
page. Initial thought was that these should be 'fighter only'
feats, but as the guidelines for feats suggest you not limit them by
class, they were made as general feats which are also on the 'fighter
bonus feats' list...thus making them more practical for fighters than
any others.
- Updated the omniform character sheet with an idea one of my players
had; put a section for rations in the same section where ammo is
tracked. It is available from the downloads
page.
- Added adventure log for session 9.
- Added several new domains for clerics.
- Updated the domains for the deities of humans,
demi-humans, and humanoids
due to the domain update.
- Added some details on dwarven
and elven deities.
-
January 19th
- Added new Ray feats (for spellcasters of Ray spells) to the Feats
page.
- Added new Ray spells to the Magick page.
- Added the Dwarven Battlerager and Gnome Trickster to the list of
prestige classes in the training hall.
-
January 18th
- Updated the list of NPC's known by the party at the Ol'
Boar Inn.
- Added the Craft skill calculator (excel spreadsheet) to the downloads
page.
- Added the Scent ability to feats.
- Added a listing of new equipment in the Dry
Goods Store, just behind the Armory.
- Added the Ancestral Avenger and the Stonelord to the prestige classes
listed in the Training Hall.
- Added Verbobonc regional map to the
Cartographer's section.
- Added 2 more feats to the feats page, Shaft
fighting and Improved shaft fighting, for all you pole-arm and spear
wielding warriors.
-
January 16th
-
January 14th
- Popup banners were getting on MY nerves...so I imagine they aren't too
popular with others either. Replaced them with the slightly
unsightly 'top of page' banners, but at least there isn't anymore of
those silly extra windows popping open. Tripod is a good web
hosting service, and I'll live with the banners, after all, what other
free-hosting service supports Frontpage extensions?
-
January 12th
-
Added a Campaign
Calendar page. I will plot the activities of the players, and
the campaign at large, on this Greyhawk Calendar.
-
Added the latest version of the omniform 3E
character sheet to the downloads section.
New sheet has more space for weapon data on the front, extra 'class
skill' checkboxes for multiclass, and new pages for animal
companions/familiars and notes.
-
January 11th
-
Its been a long day. The better part of this
afternoon was spent going through the entire site and making
modifications to each page to make navigation quick and painless
throughout the site.
-
You'll notice that the left margin navigation
banner is gone. Although I rather liked the scroll-look of it,
navigation is more important than pretty graphics. For this
reason, navigation bars are now at the top of each page, text form
only, so those with slow connections get the menu loaded just as
quickly as anyone else.
-
The top navigation list has all pages from the
current 'level' within the site, while the second one, beneath it,
lists links for the Table of Contents, and Ascend link (go up one
level to parent page) and links for all child pages of the current
view.
-
I hope everyone finds the changes for the
better. Let me
know if not.
-
This site is getting rather big...and unwieldy
because of it. For convenience I've added a Search
page to the top level to assist in quickly finding things..
-
January 10th
-
Added another new section to the site, The
Town Crier, where you can find news, rumours and gossip from Dyvers
and its lands.
-
Started a new "Feature" of this site,
Establishments of Dyvers, for the Cartographers section. The first
such feature is the ever-popular One-Eyed
Mug Tavern. More features will be added as time goes on, and
all will include a floor-plan of the selected establishment, as well as
general gaming information on the location for players.
-
Added a page with details on the various human, and
non-human, races of the Flanaess, to assist
players in getting the feel and flavour of the race they select.
-
Top 25 D&D 3E sites was moved, and everyone had
to sign up over. The good news is that I signed up early and got
to start as number 3! (Vote
for us!)
-
January 9th
-
January 6th
-
Based on conversations with other DM's, and most
heavily borrowed from Arcady0's system, I've posted the Character
Creation guidelines and system to the site.
-
Also added the system by which experience
point awards will be given, also with much thanks to Arcady0 for the
framework of the system.
-
January 5th
-

page

Added the Scarlet Squirrels to the list of
approved prestige classes for the
Stormkeep campaign.

Updated the Knowledge (monster
lore) skills information.

page.
-
January 3rd
-
January 2nd
-
Added a list of feats from
the newly released Sword and Fist book.
-
Added a list of Prestige
Classes from the newly released Sword & Fist book.
-
Created and posted a banner image for this website,
allowing users to link to the site
with either the new banner image or the old button images.
-
January 1st, 2001
-
Happy New Year!!!
-
With the New Year comes the completion of the
adventure log for Session 8, the Twilight
Grove.
-
Added some details regarding experience awards in
my campaign to the House Rules page.
-
Sorted the Prestige Class listings alphabetically
in the Training Hall. For the life
of me I have no idea why I didn't do this in the first place.
-
Added several Prestige Classes to the Training
Hall (the Beastmaster, Dustdigger, Archmage, Divine Champion, Divine
Disciple, Hierophant, Holy Avenger, and Hunter classes)
-
On the News front, Amazon.com has informed me that
they've shipped Sword and Fist to me, and I'll be putting up the list of
Prestige Classes and feats introduced therein shortly thereafter.
Note, to avoid copyright infringements, I will not actually be posting
specifics on what the feats and classes can do....but the names should
be informative, and players in my campaign are free to ask for more
details on anything that they see which interests them.
-
December 31st
-
December 20th
-
November 28th
-
Added details regarding pc reputation and its
effect within the Stormkeep campaign.
-
Added Hero Point reward
system guidelines under the House rules section of the House of
Lore.
-
Moved all copyrights
and credits from the bottom navigation bar to their own page, to
help speed page loads (they loaded after all text, so it was just a
matter of personal preference).
-
Removed active buttons from top navigation bar,
replaced them with text hyperlinks. I was never completely happy
with the look of the top bar anyway, and this will also decrease load
times.
-
November 23rd
-
Finished the Aftermath section of the Brookhollow
adventure.
-
Replaced human deities section with only those
deities detailed thus far in 3E Living Greyhawk. Added custom
domains to those deities for Stormkeep campaign, with clear
identification which are customized so official LG is clear.
-
Removed the overhead Flanaess image from the
Gallery page, as the file somehow went missing. :)
-
Changed the superstats mini-button to full banner
button, at the bottom of each page. This is so that mycomputer.com
is tracking per page stats so I can better understand traffic flow at
the site and make better design and layout decisions.
-
November 21st
-
Updated and/or changed music on all pages.
-
Changed some of the images and the color scheme of
the site to make it easier on the eyes.
-
Put up the newly designed Stormkeep logo button at
the bottom of each page, for those who wanted a button to use to link to
this site.

-
Added Domain listing in
the Temple District, with new Domain descriptions.

Added the Cartographer's
Section to hold maps of the campaign.

Added map of the lands surrounding Dyvers to the
Cartographer's page.

sheets.

-
November 7th, 2000
-
October 23, 2000

of each page. These allow navigation of the same level and
child-levels, respectively.
-
Added a button to return to parent page, and TOC to
left navigation bar as well.
-
Replaced 'in page' tripod ads with
those annoying 'pop up' adds. If you hate them as much as I do,
sorry. It was an aesthetic choice.
