Having its liquid elements petrify sounds like a nice idea. What's this milky, glassy thing blocking the hallway? Oh, it's a dead gelatinous cube... I think I still see an adventurer inside. Ooohh, that's sick! *hurp* Edit: Perhaps merchants would cut off small cubes of the corpse, polish them...

I've been following this thread for a while and I'm really enjoying it. Your artwork is great. I have to say that I love the concept for Faceless Joe; it's brilliant.

I bought the book because I read the novels. A lot of the art is really good. It beats the crap that's in the Big Book of Bad Art any day (yeah, you know the one). The Moiraine picture is particularly nice. Will I ever get around to playing/running it? Doubtful. I can't even get all the players...

Sounds like it has the same problem every other D20M book has; too much focus on the damned FX and FX heavy campaign examples you won't use anyway, not enough focus on the Modern. Honestly, who needs campaign examples to run a game that takes place in the modern world? As far as recent past and...

I believe this is the medicine you are looking for: What is Heroic 25mm Scale?

TOWER SHIELD PROFICIENCY [GENERAL] Maybe there's an NPC somewhere with this. Maybe....

Hell no. My good friend Dave would insist that he'd do it for the RP opportunity, and that having a PC with high stats hurts roleplaying. However, as soon as actual play started and he was being outgunned by the other PCs... Yeah. Maybe it's because I'm stuck playing with some younger people...

If you own the books and want to play, then you should know the rules. The DM spends his valuable time preparing the game and running it; it's only fair that a player spend his time in a similar fashion. I have a player (and old friend) for whom I bought a copy of the 3E PHB and he never has...

My nephew's name is from Arthurian legend; Tristan. Of course a year or so after he was born EVERYONE started naming their kids Tristan, even the girls. For some reason everyone around here seems to automatically assume it's a girl's name. Possibly because it rhymes with Kristin, but more likely...

An intelligent item that bestows the vision upon all present would work. You could also have some sort of column/crystal/staff in the center of the room. This object is covered in runes which flow into swirling designs that cover the floor. For every PC worried it's a trap, there will be one...

The strange thing is that just before I started reading this thread I had this idea... I was thinking that one of the barbarian-type cultures in my campaign world would have a tradition that every child has a weapon forged for them at birth and that the afterbirth is used in the forging process...

This is where the rat bastard DM has an assassin replace the head-bag with a bag of devouring, or an Excecutioner's Hood. :] I tend to play against type most pf the time; I do my own thing. I must confess though, I'm dying to play a fast and loose D20 Modern game with a Brock Samson type...

Good for you. I really wanted to name an NPC (an herbalist one of the PCs was apprenticed to) Helvetica, but wimped out and changed it. In retrospect, my players probably wouldn't have recognized it as a font name.

Shouldn't that be; * and F.A.T.A.L.?

There was a student at my high school named Gilbert Gilbert Gilbert the Third. Yeah, his father and grandfather were Gilberts as well. I specifically asked for players to use normal sounding names for my current campaign. It didn't have to be a real name, just not a Fantasy Name; so we have...

Well, rules aside, it's easy enough to change what warforged are all about. A neat twist would be that warforged actually have human(oid) souls bound to them. The group that created the warforged needed soldiers and weren't too picky about where to get them. They discovered that binding a soul...

See, because writing hurts my hand, I tend to do less on paper than on the PC. Actually, I was going to reply to the gnome thread about my campaign world's gnomes but what I was writing ballooned into a rather long-winded couple of pages. I decided it was too long to post, but couldn't be...

Damn man. Anyone bringing a laptop doesn't need to steal books; he can buy them (not that he's the culprit...). I hate thieves even more than I hate cheaters. Find the culprit and ban him from the game. If he whines about it, let him know that he's lucky you're banning him instead of breaking...

Haha. This reminds me of the Futurama episode where Bender was getting a software upgrade. He had a hallucination that he ran away to an island where he got a wooden body to be closer to nature.

I didn't see it in that thread so I'll mention http://www.abisource.com/ It's a free MSWord alternative that a lot of people seem to like.
