I know this sounds weird, but I found that if you just think about sounds that you can make with the human vocal chords and not worry about their meaning, you can come up with some interesting stuff. I made up the name "Armisaunt" that way. Or just take bits and pieces of words you hear and...

I was hoping for something compatible with d20, but really anything will work for me. I need something that sets dueling apart from other forms of combat, a way to reinforce the intimacy and atmosphere of dueling.

FANTOMAS Mike Patton (singer) Chaotic Neutral Bard/Rogue Buzz Osborne (guitarist) Chaotic Good Wizard Trevor Dunn (bassist) Chaotic Neutral Rogue Dave Lombardo (drummer) Chaotic Neutral Barbarian The Mars Volta would also be an interesting party...I can imagine them using their music to cast...

Does anybody know of a good sword dueling combat system? Any kind will do, although I'm mainly looking for something oriental. It doesn't matter the flavor, theme, etc. as long as it's not complicated.

This is somewhat related to a thread I made earlier on thoughts for a school of adventuring. I'm making a list of intriguing books one would expect to find in a library in a fantasy world. I'm looking for books like, "The Art of Planeswalking", "Zombiism and Related Energy", "The Anatomy of a...

I'm not sure if I spelled that right, but it's a trivial matter to me at the moment. Last night, a friend told me this riddle his boss at work told him. From what I'm told, this riddle has an actual answer (in other words, it's not one of those trick riddles). I've been trying to figure it out...

I need to see Fahrenheit 9/11 as well. I don't even know if our theatres have it here (since I live in a conservative Bible Belt city). The unrated version of Ichi the Killer is good, although there are only very minor differences. I've rented it twice from my local Hastings, the second time...

Sam Raimi has proved himself once again. I know this has been said already before, but it's the truth: this was a near flawless picture. It's been a while since I've seen a movie this good. I saw the 12:25 AM showing Wednesday. It was awesome. Favorite scenes of mine were the one with the...

Ah, my bad. I had heard he was kin to somebody at WOTC, but I guess maybe it was just a mistake in the melancholy people felt after the setting search winner was found and I happened to lend an ear in their direction. I feel stupid...I should buy a helmet. On the Warforged thing...it almost...

Ever since my friend Seth became a R.A. at the college apartment he lives at, we've been gaming there. I feel kind of bad, since I haven't set foot in my FLGS in over two months.

Eberron is an awkward name. They could have done better, but then again, they could have done worse. My friend is actually interested in the setting, mainly because it reminds him of Jules Verne. Perhaps the flavor of it is not the typical fantasy everybody's used to. Maybe it's the company...

I was saddened when I read about what happened... I'm not sure what to say. I hope his family and friends are all doing fine. God Bless and Godspeed, Ryan Boell.

I love listening to music. I'm a fan of Faith No More, the Mars Volta, Queens of the Stone Age, Fantomas, Tomahawk, Deftones, Dir En Grey, and more. Cartoon Network is about the only TV I watch anymore. Adult Swim is a favorite. Drawing is a past time of mine. Found Magazine gives me...

The new Sonic commercials with the two guys are really bothering me. At first it was annoying, but now it's about as horrible as Baby Looney Tunes.

That minotaur head is a great idea...I think I might have to use that in my game... Here's what I've come up with so far... ----- The name of the school is Ashram Adventuring Academy. It's located on a demiplane that is a planar hub. Ashram is located in the city of Alkaran, which was built...
