    Campaign Idea: The Ghost of Carl Kolchak Help Wanted

    I've known about Kolchak for ages, unfortunately I've only had the good fortune to see two or three episodes. Any time you have a team of paranormal investigators there's always a few people running the fancy electronic devices; Magnetometers, temperature gauges, sound recording devices...

    Do you realize how small a halfling/gnome is?

    Hmm, look at that ant carrying that huge wasp corpse... If you find your imagination failing you, do the easy thing and look for an anthill. It's not that unusual to find creatures getting stronger and stronger (relatively speaking) as they get smaller and smaller.

    The Soundtrack to Nerdery

    Night on Bald Mountain - Modeste Moussorgsky Firebird - Igor Stravinsky Castlevania music? That goes without saying. :D I bet the soundtrack from The Ninth Gate would make some good gaming music. Then again, it's been a while since I've seen it.

    start the meter, my 15 minutes of nerd-fame has begun!

    I thought I saw an awful lot of people posting on this thread that I hadn't seen in ages... Then I saw the Chairman_Kaga post and just about had a heart attack. Talk about unsettling. :\

    Jozan's ugly...Vote for your Fav iconic Character!

    I voted for Lidda, but if Alexandra had been a choice, I would have voted for her as well. Edit: FYI, Alexandra is the human nomad from the Psionics Handbook.

    When in Heckfire is d20 Future Going to be Released on Amazon?

    I'd settle for a day or two after it hit store shelves. I preordered too. I preordered my 3.5 Boxed Set from Amazon. This was because I had gotten a free $50 gift certificate, which, when combined with the preorder discount, brought the set down to less than 12 bucks. Not only did they not send...

    Suggestions for ending a campaign in 10 easy steps?

    DM: Okay guys, there's a door in front of you and to your left is a hole in the floor. Which one do you want to go through? Players: The door! DM: Sorry guys, the swamp creature was behind that door. "Your Life and Your Quest End Here".

    Grim Tales for Planescape?

    Classy. 'nuff said.

    what have you done with Grim Tales?

    What have you done with Grim Tales? Nothing I swear! It's right where you left it. It certainly sounds like an interesting book, but right now I have no room in the old budget. :\ People seem to like it quite a bit.

    What would you have done differently?

    I would have started the PCs out with an NPC class to better simulate that they are just normal villagers when the adventure starts. Once they gained a level I'd have them replace their NPC level with a level of a regular player class.

    What is the original source for this awesome Lockwood painting?

    Well, Regdar is usually shown wearing scale armor with a helmet that is made of overlapping plates on the top and back, this guy has chainmal and a helmet that is solid on top and one flap in the back. Regdar's armor has spikes on both sides, this guy only on the left. Tordek's armor has...

    Food in your game world

    The PCs in my campaign haven't eaten many meals yet, but in the last session they had a few to remember. The inn's serving woman brought them their meal, a simple lamb stew with bread and cheese, and they started to eat. Almost immediately they had to make fortitude saves. Two of them failed...

    Picture of Lolth or Drow Female

    What could be more "drow" than the black widow stereotype; beautiful, deadly and cruel... "For the female of the species is more deadly than the male." - Rudyard Kipling

    What is the original source for this awesome Lockwood painting?

    Hehe, it's been too long. :( I made (a no doubt lame) conversion of the Keepers for my homebrew campaign, but by the time I started running it the Fiend Folio had come out. Still don't like that picture...

    So does that mean it's less silly now to get sent on a quest for a shrubbery? And another shrubbery? Yeah!

    D20 Past = 96 page softcover? Now I'm depressed.

    I'm not sure why anyone would expect steampunk material in D20 Past. Viet Nam, Cold war era, WWII, WWI, Civil War era, Old West, Revolutionary War, etc. Well, we do tend to mark history by wars... That's the sort of that springs to mind. Even pirates. But steampunk? That's far too few pages...
