    Tell me about halflings in your world.

    Well, my Halflings (or Osispun (children of Ispun)) are more like earth's jews: They had once empires, that were able to fend of larger, human empires (about 2000 years ago). But now, these empires are gone and the only bond between the halflings is their religion which sets them apart...

    Where D&D goes bad

    creativity, mhm. Well I would say, that the more you are restricted, the more you have to be creative to achieve, what you want. But that is, actually, not important here. I just wanted to say: I own lots of RPG-books (last count 150 (Oh, damn, what does this say about me, that I count them...

    Arrr!!!

    Bloody ... that is not fair. We outlandish land rats are allways in shallow water when you talk like that.

    Large Mushroom Cloud Detected Over North Korea

    But only if they definitly do not have A, B or C weapons. And if they do not have any, it is far more convenient to let the world believe, that they do have them. (although, I am sure that there are lots and lots of satelites monitoring any movement of any country on the verge of getting...

    customizable classes/core classes as templates

    And than you could take "Buy the Numbers" or "Character Customization" both as pdf available at RPGNow, the first allowing the calculation of a character-"class" by spending XP, the second splitting classes into paths that can be mixed (and templates and other things).

    Most Hated Actors

    Leonardo was great in Gilbert Grape and Jim Carrol (or whatever the name of this movie was, where he played a junky). He was a decent evil king in the man with the iron mask (And for all, who ask, why he was cast: He draws the chicks, ah sorry, girls, to a movie, only boys would normally attend...

    A Good Non-orc Orc/Minion Race...

    hey, machanically replicating is cool. I allways like things that turn the good to bad: Wer-creatures and Borg. They don't have to be very strong, but the infection can bring most characters to their knees (OK more the players begging the GM) and it makes the surrounding rather dangerous, not...

    Armor in movies.

    I am not sure, but I think the villain in crying Freeman is saved by his bulletproof (in this case from a knife, I think ). Other case: V- The Visitors: their armor totally protects them from the "normal" bullets of the rebells. Oh, Loaded Weapon 3: two bulletproof vests to protect against the...

    Extreme Medieval sports?

    Around the world, there have been a lot of sports, that would work in medieval times. Soccer, as it is today, was not around that early, but the game it came from, Rugby (and probably football) evolved from, too. Several games with small balls (like the aztek game described above) where played...

    Angelsboi passed away 16 Jun 04 (was: Angelsboi Health Update)

    It is very strange how the death of a person you only read some white pixels on the sceen from, can touch you. I had not much to do with AB, but he was simply there, he belonged to this board as someone does, who was here, is here and will be here in the far future. If there is a better place...

    The Lich (Origins)

    As far as my dictionary goes, the pronounciation of litch is something like litsh. And as far as the origin goes: You have a monster that looks like a corpse and you want an oldish name for it. Zombie etc is taken, walking corpse does not have the ring, but there is this one word, more germanic...

    Is it sadder when an elf dies than when a human dies?

    Well, here get some cosmologies mixed up, it seems. As far as Tolkien-Elves go, the go to Valinor one way or the other. When they die, they go to the Halls of Mandos (as can be researched either at the site given above or in the Silmarillion). There seems to be a possibility, that they even...

    So I led a mutiny...

    The only thing, I find sad about your story, is, that you did not help the orks raze the town. After going bad you could have gone bad completly.

    My Paladin killed a child molester (and now my DM wants to take away my powers!)

    I think, there are three levels to it: 1st: In any case it is not honorable to attack from behind an unarmed man (+ without warning). If honor is important to the charakter, he got a problem. 2nd: no law allows for killing people just because they did something evil or are doing it, if it can...

    An Open Letter to Dragon and Dungeon Readers

    Well, after about 250 issues of Dragon cramming my boards at home, this seems to be the point where I can stop buying the mag. In the last two years it was only every third issue that had interesting material for me and if it had not been for the "official" (and the gatherer inside of me) I...

    Why Villainous Rants?

    I only did it once and I created a party especially for this occasion, that would have done nothing else than to slow down the adventure otherwise. The reason behind the rant of the villain was to give him a face. The characters where up against a nameless, faceless enemy, which is boring and...
