    Whats your shortest lived character?

    I joined a new group a few years back and was told they had just started an "evil" campaign a few sessions back and every one had just reached second level. I was told to create a first level character (this was still 2nd Edit.) and I chose to create an evil cleric - they get some really great...

    [Iron] IronNPC -- RAY SILVER WINS!

    I'd actually like to take a part in this one! NPC creation is fun, although I have a feeling I won't like it much after this competition. But bring it on!

    Help me design my pantheon!

    A couple of questions will help refine your quest, plus help us with suggestions: 1. Do you want a large pantheon or a small one? 2. Do you want your deities to work together or singularly? 3. Are your deities going to get their hands dirty and get involved in the world, or sit back and...

    World's BEST D&D Soundtrack(s) - to accompany hong's thread on worst soundtracks

    I use more mp3's than anything else, so some of this may not be valid for albums. I use movies, video games (both console & computer), classical music, anime, and various albums as sources: 13th Warrior The Abyss Akira Alice (McGee's version) Alien Alien vs. Predator Babylon 5 Baldur's Gate (&...

    Thinking Outside the Box

    There's a nice way you could go about making a primitive mind flayer race work (like the yaggol (sp?) in Taladas). I'm no history major (actually I am) but I've heard that ancient civilizations formed because of one thing: cultivation. Each of the three staple crops (rice, wheat, and corn -...

    The Corrlands - a lurker's story hour (Updated 1/8/3)

    Zjin detested his Orange Robes. He consciously hated them every moment he could spare. “The smock they deign call Robes!” Zjin muttered forcefully to himself. He disagreed with the way the melon orange looked on his skin. He hailed from the western marshes of Mashora – nearly the entire...

    The Corrlands - a lurker's story hour (Updated 1/8/3)

    Chapter 1 - A Departure From History “It is from history that we gain our perspective. Erudition in this manner begetting Kapah will aid the young scholar in future decisions and endeavors.” The historian’s speech droned on, beckoning boredom. Emeric li Kasostar stared blankly past his...

    The Corrlands - a lurker's story hour (Updated 1/8/3)

    Prologue Although Atolcus felt the need to sigh, he didn’t dare. He was alone, as was his habit out of a great dislike for most people, and normally sighing was Atolcus’ preferred way of showing his displeasure. However, he forbad himself from making any kind of unnecessary noise while on a...

    The Corrlands - a lurker's story hour (Updated 1/8/3)

    Forgive me the faults of this story hour - I am new to it and fictional storywriting period. This is based on characters and stories from my world of the Corrlands and from several years and different groups of playing. I've chosen to do the story hour in short story format, with no preamble...

    How do you incorproate dreams?

    Similar to haiiro's method, I've actually written up dreams for individual players in the past. Writing something fairly obscure and ethereal can give a player some clues and still provide the private atmosphere a dream would profer. I had a character who would have prophetic dreams in a game...

    Your cheating stories here...

    I once had a player who rolled extremely well all the time. It didn't matter whether he needed a 2 or a 20 - the 20's would come no matter what he tried. It turns out he was fudging rolls every now and again, but only when it didn't matter. That's the great part! When his 12th level...

    Languages

    How do you do languages in your games? Whether it be Elven, Orcish, French, Norweigan, or an ancient unnamed script, both written and spoken - how is it done? Does the DM/GM make up spoken language, or delve into the depths of intricacy a la Tolkein? Are notes/clues/runes hand scripted or...

    wizards vs. sorcerers

    IMC I disallow wizards. This is not because I dislike them, but because I like the innate abilities of sorcerers more than I like the researched abilities of wizards - it has more of a "fantasy" feel imho. Game mechanics-wise they're both great, and I sorely miss a lot of item creation facets...

    101 Riddles of the Sphinx

    Answer #2 - A shadow. No, I didn't create the palindrome, I found it on a website several weeks back, copied it, and promptly forgot where I found it. Keep the riddles coming, these are great (I'm stumped on Crothian's).
