Snaking the HIVE

::Thinks::

That explains how Gnomes changed between 3.x and 4e!

It sure makes a fine house rule

Here are several basic ones I've found:
RPG Mapper
Dungeon Forge
AutoRealm

You could always use paintbrush, coreldraw, CS3, inkscape or gimp if you want some shareware options.

Morning Hive!

Someone mentioned Skaven. I've always liked Skaven - they were so much fun to game with. I should put some of those little rat-fellas in my D&D game...

You know, I was thinking just the same thing... And we already have stats for them... Kobold.

A few weeks ago one of my players started his new campaign (after running a "Das Schwarze Auge" campaign and a litle Torg). We expected him to run the Dungeon adventure path or so. He surprised us with something that in the end turned out to be a Warhammer game! (Of course, still with all the 4E classes and races - so it's not "real" Warhammer, but as I said - it was a surprise. We expected a regular D&D game.)

I think he used Goblin stats for Skaven. It worked pretty well.

Hmmm...for me the Skaven are much more powerful than kobolds!

I'd probably want to make them mid-heroic tier enemies. Lots of room there for the different clans, some of the heroes, Rat Ogres, wow.

If I didn't already have plans for some homebrew stuff, this would go on my list!

1 Skaven > 1 Goblin, for me. Plus, Goblins don't play with Warpstone. Hehehehehe...

Since there were no Goblins to compare... These ones seemed pretty okay. Sure, we overwhelmed the Goblin "Ninja" that infiltrated the armory, but it was 4 PCs vs one Goblin - it was unfair. The later fights were tougher...

Sounds like a fun game.

I had a rotten weekend - felt listless and tired both days, didn't want to eat, and it's persisted today. However, I'm damn well doing a day at work as otherwise I'll miss tonight's game!

I have a rule with my partner - if you go home from work sick then you must cancel any fun activities for that day too. No skiving off for us!

I got a box of the War Hammer Skaven and created quite the bunch. I have an undead lich Skaven, a monk and all sorts of fighters.
