I just started writing some deliberately cheesy 40k fanfic to send to a friend and have come up with some rules that will ensure your fanfic stays strictly within the classification of "Grim-dark." 1) The facial expression of a the main character in your stories should only ever show one of...

A powerful human wizard has struck a deal with the devils in order to undermine and disrupt the existing regime. The pirates, who are paid by the wizard, will serve both as thieves and terrorists, thus sewing the seeds of anarchy throughout the coastal cities. In exchange for their services the...

I personally think he should retire, because I don't think he can hang with top 10 fighters anymore, and it would be sad to see him end up like Ken Shamrock, fighting bums in sideshows. But I also thought Dana White was extremely disrespectful when he announced Chucks retirement for him. Sure if...

How did I go? * Middleweight Championship bout: Anderson Silva vs. Thales Leites Prediction: Silva to Win by TKO round 2 Result: Silva wins by decision * Light Heavyweight bout: Chuck Liddell vs. Mauricio Rua Prediction: Liddell to win by KO round 2 Result: Rua wins by TKO round 1 *...

I also subscribe to this method, however I think there are inconsistencies created by using it. For example, what happens if on the way out the PC's can't or don't sneak past the guards and are forced to engage them in combat? If they are victorious are they given XP for the combat? This means...

I was a computer technician for 2 years and I still have no idea why my computer runs like crap after a fresh reformat and installation. I also don't bother installing spyware detection or anti virus software until its too late.

Hey guys, the thread on the influence of martial arts on RPG's got me wondering how many fight fans we have on these forums? What are your picks for this event? I'm only going to look at the main card, which features the following fights. * Middleweight Championship bout: Anderson Silva vs...

I am not a fighter, but I have done hard sparring and trained in various martial arts over the years. I am also a keen fan of the Ultimate Fighting Championship and Mixed Martial Arts (MMA) competition in general, and this has definitely had an influence on the way I run combat. My descriptions...

Yes good work Ajanders, that has definitely inspired me. I'm even thinking I could combine the Lich idea and have the primitive tribals be under the command of a lich who has shown them a way out of the darkness in exchange for their services.

Thanks for the link Raven. Dingle, the party are 6th level.

Thats a good idea. In fact the players were requesting the use of Cthulu sanity rules due to the traumatic experiences their characters have had so far. This might be the session to tip them over the edge. :devil:

Hi all, So the PC's are currently traveling overland towards a volcanic mountain range known as the Southern Peaks which they need to get across. When they get there they will follow a path halfway up the mountain which will lead them to a cave entrance. This is about where I ran out of...

Don't mean to be a pain, but is anything happening with this bug?

Anyone? Well I guess I'll start a list of my own. The Barbarian Needs Food - Barbarian Needs Food, a Roleplaying Games Podcast These guys are quite humorous and provide lots of anecdotes from their own games whilst discussing the various RPG systems. They are quite up front with their...

The burly monk bounces on his feet, sizing you up, then swings his upper body violently and throws a lightning fast house roundhouse kick towards your exposed mid section. You hear a sickening crack as his shin impacts on your ribcage, knocking the wind out of you. The bastard sword scythes...

I've recently stumbled upon the wondrous world of roleplaying podcasts and I'm wondering which ones you guys enjoy the most. I've listened to quite a few of the WoTC podcasts which are generally interesting, aside from the obvious bias towards whatever edition or supplement they are trying to...

I guess I need to work out what I want XP to be in my game. I don't really want it to be a reward, as that seems like a meta game concept, but rather a consequence of adventuring. But determining what deserves XP and when to reward it is difficult. I'm definitely in favour of giving XP for non...

Thanks guys. These are all very good suggestions and I will definitely be taking them on board. As far as the nature of the group goes, they work well together when necessary and there is generally a level of party cohesion, but they bicker and bully each other constantly when not in danger...

Hi all, I have a couple of questions/concerns which I have put into this one post for the sake of convenience. 1) I've recently started running a campaign in a homebrew setting which has so far gone fantastically. We've only had three sessions but so far the players and I have had a great...

Thanks guys. I'm the one DMing, but ive recently had the PC's possessed by fiends. I think those spells will probly do the trick. The PC's will just need to find someone who can cast them.
