    Gary Gygax has passed. RIP beloved father of RPG's. (merged)

    I've been around D+D since 1981... my older brothers were a major influence on me getting in to Mystara. I owe a lot to Gary, a lot of great times RP'ing thru Greyhawk and Mystara; he really was a unique trailblazer in the publishing business. He'll be sorely missed by a lot of old-school...

    Strength, virtual size categories, and house rules

    Early D+D falling rule. Falling damage in traditional D+D (the early 80's with Mystara) has always been 1d6 dmg per 10 feet fallen, with the maximum of 20d6 dmg at terminal velocity.

    The best drawing of a Purple Worm was from the Desert Of Desolation series (I3-5)... a Purple Worm crashing through the glass floored desert (the Skysea) and suprising unsuspecting adventurers. :]...

    Monster Revisions

    Mountain Giants In both 1st Ed. AD+D and D+D there were Mountain Giants, who often worked as mercenaries for elite armies. In 1st Ed. D+D they had anywhere from 12 to 20 HD and hit for 5d10 dmg. In AD+D they had 14 HD and hit for 4d10 dmg. The stench of Mountain Giants could be smelled several...

    Monster Revisions

    Sounds like the excellent Palladium RPG... during one phase of (the planet) Palladiums history, some 91 million elves died in primordial wars of annihilation. :eek:

    NEW Immortals Handbook - Ascension thread

    Gods and Cosmic Entities never have an avatar or an aspect in the same location. If they are in a battle, they will most likely call in servitors and minions to fight in their place. Thats what minions are for. Gods and Cosmic entities have many more important things to do, rather than fight...

    I could see him as a weak Intermediate god. In 2E they increased his status to Intermediate; but he was -by far- the weakest Intermediate god in the entire Monster Mythology book.

    Post your gods!

    Thats a big load of Kobold dung from what I can see. Kurtulmak was originally written up as a Lesser Deity in 1980. He has *never* been listed as a Greater Power, and to make him so is really bad judgement. :\

    Immortals Handbook - ASCENSION

    Well, in The Hyde Effect, this werewolf is surrounded by four officers and they shoot him as fast as possible, and this beast just regenerates as the lead is being shot in to him, even with catostrophic injuries, like shots to the head and throat. He takes several hundred bullets in that first...

    Immortals Handbook - ASCENSION

    For ideas on Werewolves, *the best* werewolf novel I have ever read is "The Hyde Effect"... it is a bloody and intense read from cover to cover. :D One hell of a story. It is written by Steve Vance. The werewolf in the story is so powerful it seems as if it is an avatar of Daragor or...

    In the Palladium RPG, there is an Old One of Undeath, named Netosa. I have been tempted to stat him out one day. Heh heh... ;)
