    Er... anybody alive ? I would have expected at least one comment. Does this mean that everybody is dead ?

    The might of Orcs Here it is. Sorry if it seems patched up but, well, it is. Once again, a change in style. And no pirate talk :) ===== For a long time, the coin had vanished. However, the coin was an object of prophecy and a valuable toy for Fate. As such, its vanishment could not last...

    One Thousand Ways to Freak Out Your Players

    541. Have them meet a seemingly insignificant NPC. Have him be a pain. Say he is the son of some important guildmaster. Have them bear him for some sessions. Then, much later, have them meet the father - only he has no son. 542. The PCs have just been hired to bring a safe box to some king...

    [OT]Would you be interested in group writing fiction?

    OK for the rules and to start simple. I'd say two heroes would be just slightly less "oh, yeah, yet another team of adventurers". Having them both women might also be marginally original (what did you say ? Xena ? never heard of it). Maybe having them be in the same family could do the trick...

    [OT]Would you be interested in group writing fiction?

    Well, I'm interested, too. However, I'd prefer a non-generic world. We don't have to build the world before starting to write, but we should decide on a few things (I'd say importance of deities, of magic, tech level, travel mode, lawlessness). And a suggestion for the modus operandi : divide...

    One Thousand Ways to Freak Out Your Players

    #503. (variant on #500) Consider one artifact. If it knows more magic than you, it's probably smarter than you. If it looks older than you, it's probably. If it is smarter and older than you, it probably has its own agenda. #504. (from Listen up, you primitive screwheads !, the GM guide...

    One Thousand Ways to Freak Out Your Players

    Kill the PCs #496. Kill the PCs. I mean it, really. I played in a campaign in which one of the PCs had really pissed off the whole royal family, especially the prince leading the Royal Guard. Well, the PC, which happened to be a high-ranking officer in an allied army made the mistake of...
