I was looking at possible interpetations of a Chaotic society, and it seems to me there are few if any examples of such societies in the material I have. Even the supposedly Chaotic Elves are decidedly Lawful in all matters pertaining to justice, territory, armed forces and government. I...

I was just reading the Morningstar or Dawnforge thread, and noted that in Morningstar, the Elves are ruled over by an Empress with great and mysterious powers. I started thinking about all the other Elven cultures I am aware of, and every society they have is ruled by an archetype of the same...

I have been watching the show on Cartoon Network, and I must say it has moved up the list as the best anime I have yet to see. The last episode revealing Sojiros (sp?) past was unbelievably good, and once I acquire enough money, I am going to buy every episode I can get my hands on.

I figured I would start a spinoff of the Movie Quotes thread. Just remember to post an answer to your quote if no one else has within twenty four hours. To kick it off I offer this quote: [/b]

I was reading the Midnight forums over at againsttheshadow.org, and noted a phoenemon I have seen several times before. Several of the DMs there were arguing that the Night Kings should basically be demigods who the PCs could never hope to confront. My question is, why? Why is it that no...

Seriously, I was considering this after reading a recent post in the D&D Rules forum, as well as Buttercups post on border fortresses, and I have to wonder if castles or fortresses would be desirable or even feasible defensive structures to build. A single high level Cleric or Druid could rip...

Yes, Regdar for President. Who better to run the country. Surely not any of the other iconics. Except Lidda, of course. But we hear she has no aspirations. So, who are you going to vote for? Lets review: Devis: The character issues are too great. Rumors abound that aboard the SS...

I was just thinking about this recently, and got to wondering, how many PCs have actual connections to family or friends within the world? It seems to me most PCs are completely disconnected from that area of life, and their only companions are the fellow party members. Perhaps this is because...

Rank: White Belt. Record: 0-0 Powers: None. Yen: None. Kysthiwendor Lyyidelarnikoist steps forth from the crowd, radiant in a bright red skirt and blouse, with a white ribbon tied around her hair. Her tail swishes back and forth as she walks towards the center of the arena, her bare feet...

A simple question. Which Iconic Bard do you prefer? Gimble has a goatee. Gimble has a coat. Gimble has a nice color scheme. Devis has nothing but yellow all over him. The choice is clear. Vote Gimble!

I was just reading the thread on the "Year Of The Drow", and I got to wondering... How do people define Drow anymore? They were originally the "anti-elves", similar I suppose to the anti-paladin. Elves are free spirited, so Drow are oppressive. Elves love nature and the outdoors, so Drow...

"I, The Jade Master, have come to challenge a worthy opponent. I challenge those who would have the courage to face me in combat." Insult: "I find your Lady to be slovenly, your graveyard to be broken, and your focus to be hilarious." OOC: I am willing to fight anyone who I have a 25%...

Alright, here's the scenario: The Blackguard has been assigned to invade a neighboring kingdom. During the invasion of the capital city, he receives word that the enemy King has rescued his two worst enemies, his daughter and his former companion in the Paladin Order, from his dungeons. Of...

I've been reading the abundance of alignment threads that have been appearing lately, and I noted that there seems to be far more disagreement on the difference between Law and Chaos than Good and Evil. Why is that? What is the fundamental, basic way to look at the Law and Chaos axis? I've...

I was just wondering if anyone has ever seen or played a Barbarian character that did not follow the stereotypical "warrior of the north" or "savage berserker" path. Has anyone come up with a more unique approach to the Barbarian class? I am growing rather tired of the cultural connotations...

I was looking at a few of the Undead creatures today, and I started to wonder, do all of the Undead still retain the spiritual essence they had when they were alive? In other words, if a character dies, and they are reanimated as a Skeleton, does their soul go on to Valhalla or what have you...

After reading the thread about Elven lifespans and experience here in the General RPG forums, I've decided to start another thread so that the topic isn't completely hijacked. The question is, what race, in a standard fantasy world, should rule the world, or at least the largest portion of it...

I decided to start a thread focusing on Dragons. This was inspired from a recent thread started by WizarDru, and the organization known as B.A.D.D. I really like what B.A.D.D has done, but unfortunately the last update on their website was about eight months ago. I'm going to stat out the...
