I am watching Lost Girl as it airs. Waiting impatiently for new episodes of NCIS, Castle, and Game of Thrones.

Yeah I just didn't see the June thread until after I had posted. But my question is why do there need to be different threads for different months?

This is a bit closer to how I use Druids in my setting as well. I draw my druids more from how the Celts saw them: as the wise men who knew how to handle nature. They are the keepers of the rituals that got the gods and the forces of nature on their side. Or at least kept their fury at bay...

I generally dislike Random-Encounter Tables. The few times that I DO use them though, I make sure to make my own so that what they will encounter will make some kind of sense, and that the crazier things only happen a statistically very small amount of the time. That said, my homebrew setting...

I am a lonely DM looking for players to run a game using Pathfinder. I have a setting or two of my own that I am interested in getting a group for. One is a setting that mixes Renaissance with Steampunk tech. The other is pagan-Celtic themed setting with Druidic rituals, Clans, honor duels...
