That and the lengthy list a few posts up are all noun-nouns...

You are right about the Prydain Chronicles. Excellent series and one I did not think of when starting this post.

Those are all noun-nouns. To be included, they'd have to be along the lines of "firebelched," "godslain," and "iceskidded." ;) Perhaps there should be 2 lists going? What say ye?

I think it would have to be "dragonspawned."

I'm guessing the naming of creatures using a noun-verb hybrid probably started with Planescape with the planetouched... but in 3e it seemed to explode! That got me wondering just how many there are out there. Spellstiched, warforged, on and on and on... Let's name 'em all (and source material...

Couldn't find this word in my "dictionominary" ;)

My problem is very similar but also a little different. I hate when I am at a political rally or protest, carrying signs - chanting slogans - voting - you know getting all political, and then someone somewhere invariably pulls out a board game or a role-playing game and starts playing. I mean...

One idea: Have the differently aligned characters be related to each other (siblings, cousins). They could genuinely have a strong family bond despite their outlook; come from a family that demands loyalty regardless of personal views; have a vested interested in looking out for their own.

You may want to supply a few more details before anyone comments. Off the top of my head, I would want to know... - Have you discussed with him and your group how each of you would like to address sensitive issues? - Are there any "house behavior" rules established to prevent...

For Illusions, here's a quick and easy solution: Shadow Magic (Shadow) Illusion 9 Treat like Shadow Evocation/Conjuration spells EXCEPT that it can create a shadowy version of any spell 8th level or lower from any school. The effect is 80% real. Take some good Divination spells and plus them...

To some people here it seems to mean "I, a gamer, am experiencing Golden Age in Gaming." For others, it seems to mean "The industry, the designers & companies, is experiencing a Golden Age." And for others, it seems to mean "The collective community, as in all us gamers everywhere, is...

Yeah, the Type 5 Demon and all those other Type demons would be iconic IMO.

Civ4, the RPG, eh Altazar?

For me, the Golden Age of Gaming (which means mostly D&D) started in the mid-80s starting with the release of Dragonlance. The release of the Forgotten Realms, FR novels, the first D&D computer games, and 2nd Edition would have been the apex of that Golden Age --- The end of this age came in the...

Novelty Any setting I ever liked had lots of novelty - new races, classes, themes, forms of magic, etc... Any setting has to have engaging novelty, something that you'd love to get out and roleplay, experience in game, and read up on. The bad thing about novelty for me is that once you've...

Canon Continuity = Happy Fan (for me) This evil version of the game sounds like fun... sounds like Star Trek's mirror universe... or perhaps some new campaign setting called "Remembered Realms" Why do I flinch when folk mess with continuity? You often end up with: > Evil becomes good. Good...

I'd add a third way that makes the best of both worlds: Buy countless new books, and use one's imagination. :D - Ed

That is a FANTASTIC idea!!! Whom do we petition for a booster pack of Spell Effects? (and what are summoned creatures, but spell effects!) - the various Bigby hands you mention are a must! - Flaming sphere also a must - Black Tentacles - Creeping Doom - Gaseous Form / Invisibility (covering...

In no particular order: Hellfire Wyrm Another ooze or two (please leave out the victim fig next time) - make it huge Gem dragons / Planar Dragons A Dark Sun Dragon, A Dark Sun Avangion (mid to high level) Yugoloths / daemons Fey'ri Chain golem A few living spells from Eberron Modrons (yeah, I...

When I DM'd, I would offer people a small XP reward if they got to the game before me. I also offered bigger XP bonuses to the players for when I was late, usually a set amount for every 10 minutes. - Ed
