| Welcome to the Darketower Journal site. Compiled here are
journal entries from various characters from roleplaying campaigns that I
have been a part of. Some are traditional pen-and-paper roleplaying games,
while others took place in online games and message boards. Either way, they
are presented here for your viewing pleasure. Currently, I am playing in
what I like to call “The Heartlands Campaign.” It’s a pen-and-paper game,
using the 3rd edition D&D rules and set in the Forgotten Realms campaign
setting. We play weekly in Orlando, Florida. The session journals for that
campaign are listed here as well, and are updated regularly.

The Heartlands Campaign
This Orlando, Florida campaign began on December 29th, 2002 and was
put on indefinite hiatus after the session on April 26th, 2003. It was
set in the Forgotten Realms campaign setting, centered on the
Dragon Coast and Cormyr. This was the “official site” of the game, and
all the character journals (as well as art and other tidbits) can be
found here.

The Vaasa Campaign
My first foray into D&D and the Forgotten Realms,
Mierkos Dunn was a part of the Vaasa campaign from September 30th,
2001 until May 19th, 2002, led by d20 author Sam Witt in
Dallas, Texas. Though the campaign continued afterwards, those details
aren’t chronicled here.

The Mord’sythe Campaign
Following quickly on the heels of the Baal’morda campaign, the
Mord’sythe campaign became “book two” in the unfolding story. It
involved many of the same characters, but took on a very different
flavor than its predecessor. It also played out in Ultima Online.

|
The Baal’morda Campaign
The Baal’morda campaign was a massive undertaking in Ultima Online
that lasted nearly three years. Played out from late 1998 until its
climax in early May, 2001, it would have been sorely lacking without
the writing and support of an online community that was so eager to
participate.

The Darketower Campaign
Korbin Darketower was my first real character. I’d been gaming
for a decade by then, but that time was spent GMing games or playing
bit characters. That all changed in a homebrewed setting using the
Rifts ruleset. I played Korbin in Miami, Florida for nearly
a year and a half. |
