Sliding Scales
Sliding Scales
Never have the cares of the universe lain so heavily on Flinx's shoulders, nor the forces arrayed against him seemed so invincible. Pursued by a newly revealed sect of doomsday fanatics, hunted by factions inside and outside the Commonwealth for transgressions real and imagined, expected to single-handedly avert a looming galactic crisis (or bear responsibility for the consequences), Flinx can be forgiven for feeling a slight touch of melancholy.
There's only one solution for what ails Flinx, according to his ship's AI. But taking time off is tricky business. With an increasing number of enemies chasing him with ever-greater enthusiasm, Flinx must find a getaway shrouded in obscurity. Jast, a planet smack in the middle of nowhere, is the perfect locale.
Yet even in a place where hardly anyone's ever seen a human, Flinx and trouble can't stay separated for long. Unfortunately, Flinx hasn't a clue that his vacation paradise is in reality a danger zone of the highest magnitude. And by the time he learns the truth, it may be too late.

About Us
Hello fellow role playing enthusiast. I have been playing Dungeon's and Dragon's since 1976 and have played each version extensively. Since I first read Andre Norton's "Quag Keep", I have been scouting ahead in dungeon crawls, hurling fireballs, casting illusions, saving damsel's in distress, praying to the gods for aide and seeking a truly lawful and ordered society. As a dungeon master I am true to Gary Gygax's original teachings and have DM'd in Greyhawk, Forgotten Realms, Dark Sun and a few other settings of my own creation. I am a recovering addict of Dark Ages of Camelot and have played Witcher, Baldur's Gate, Neverwinter's Night, Torment, Icewind Dale, Morrowind and Oblivion. I have dabbled in Magic the Gathering, Warhammer, Bloodbowl, Munchkin, Paranoia and am an avid board gamer as well.
I will do my best to keep you satisfied so you will enjoy purchasing items from me now and in the future.
