Perilous Gateways

Ghostly Portals

By Robert Wiese

The supernatural world contains many mysteries, and the spirits of the departed haunt Faerûn with a persistence that can make a cleric of Lathander feel hopeless. Sometimes these spirits become entwined with portals. But there can be other reasons to fear approaching a portal, even if you must use it. This month, visit five haunted portals and feel the chill.

About the Author

Robert Wiese's love of gaming started in the Boy Scouts, where you'd think there was enough to do to keep one from playing roleplaying games. Through college he has played in some great home campaigns, and discovered the RPGA at a small game day in 1991. Then, in June 1995, he went to work for TSR as the RPGA Tournament Coordinator. He worked for RPGA for six and a half years, destroying Living City characters and their items right and left, and then starting new campaigns (including Living Greyhawk and Living Force) in which to further torment the members. His work as evil overlord done, he retired from the staff in 2002, shucked the evil persona that possessed him for so long, and moved to Nevada. Now he continues in service to the RPGA by planning RPGA convention events for the "big three" and writes gaming goodies from time to time. He also gardens a lot, trains dogs, and devotes as much time as possible to his beloved Rhonda.
