Since Poppy was three Her movie night has been Sunday, which coincides with the game I run (my wife plays). We start at 7, her movie stops at 8, we put her to bed and game until 10 or 11. We probably could have done the same right from the first year, when we adopted her. However I wasn't...

A better paralell might be european nations looting the tombs of the rest of the world during the 19th century and the beginning of the 20th. Europeans took home lots of artifacts, often into personal collections. They donated them to their home states afterwards. Most of the municiapl museums...

I have this thing running in the back of my head that psionics is the future of magic in my game. Like technology, things proceed from really hard, to kludgy, to easy: Mechanical adding machines clocks, to punchcard operated mainframes, to desktops with a cartoony looking ideographic operating...

I would try to value the item as a magic item: command word activated animate object of the appropriate level for a, what gargantuan animated object? If it's only usable for a few rounds a day, you could lower the cost for "# of uses per day". I would count the number of uses per day as the...

Not a problem. All the mooks are boring to loot in my games, because they're even more boring to equip.

I'm using truenamers as bad guys in my game. I think the truname rolls hobble them pretty thoroughly. Lower level NPCs have to roll pretty high to affect PC, so they are reduced to a clumsy buff class. I have yet to try a higher level truenamer vs. my PCs: that might prove a little more of a...

I can't think of why the second book would be offensive. The third is going to require a load of CGI. It looks great.

I'm statting up a centaur sorcerer acolyte of the skin.

What could you make out of a smushed cheeto? It would likely be a swarm...

So. Cool. What mechanics do you use? Do you just kludge it up?

RPGs in general, and early DND in particular, were notoriously thievy, borrowing inspiriation from all sorts of mediums. After all, the machine of lum the mad, mighty servant leuk-o, and apparatus of the kwalish, all magical machines, probably don't have that much inspiration in fantasy until...

I was actually going to use that kind of system to represent the "organization" part of the character's ambitions. In fact, another character in the group is setting up a spy organization, without taking the leadership feat, and I was figuring this would help with that, as well. I'm mulling...

Cool blog.

That's an interesting rules shim. Makes sense, too. I wonder what the rest of that progression would... I'd thought of doing a game where all the characters took levels in a "demigod" prestige class.

Dude. Boobahs ROCK!. I've always been disappointed that they were a flash in the pan with my daughter. Lawrence

What kind of in-game benefits did the keep offer?

What do you use the rest of his follower troops for? Do they actually enter combat at all?

What actions do his congregation take in game?

Hi. I'm thinking about how to use Leadership in my game, since one of my PCs has taken the feat. I'm thinking about how it could be used in the game. The two ways I've seen it used are as follows: A tenth level mage used it to gain a baby dragon cohort. Not RAW, but I figured the dragon...

I've been flirting with an industrial magic element to my campaign: alchemists distil large amounts of magical substances to make potions and magical gear. There are printing presses and guns and trains. As long as it's even a little bit DND, my players don't seem to pick up on those elements...
