My numero uno villian would have to be every Number Two from the TV show The Prisoner. The show is incredibly mind-bending; Number Six must have had a +20 to his will saves. ;-) I also cast votes for Asmodeus the Snake (Redwall), Darth Vader, Chickenhound (Redwall), Count Rugen and Prince...

I'm just gonna bring it up to the big 500 here... 498. Add realistic sound effects for your monsters. Start with normal stuff like battle roars and twanging bows, then move on to screams of pain and limbs falling off. 499. Once in a while, have the PCs open a door in a dungeon, tavern, inn...

I'm a reconstructionist Jew (very liberal, fairly religious). My rabbi is very liberal. He is thirtyish, an enviromentalist, vegetarian, and all-around cool guy. He is very religious. I've never asked, but it's likely he could have played DnD. The point? Just never say a "religious" person...

Manticores, I would assume. Body of lion, with scorpion tail. If it's something else, I have no idea.

I, personally, see very little change ahead at all. As far as I know, D&D is turning a profit. Chainmail apparently wasn't, so it was dropped. The magazines were marginal, so they were sold. I'm only thirteen, and started playing about a year ago, so for me, there was no D&D before Wizards...

465. Once d20 Supers comes out, re-create Inspector Gadget (it has to be possible). Check your TV listings for the show, watch an episode, and take notes. Re-create that episode in your game, with the party meeting Inspector Gadget, Penny, and Brain, and learning that an evil villian known as...

WHEREAS Hasbro is a very very very very very big company with lots and lots and lots and lots of products; and WHEREAS WotC is a company with lots and lots and lots of products also; and WHEREAS D&D, M:TG, and even Pokemon are very very very popular (though it may not be apparent to those over...

Reminds me of one I posted earlier. The thing is, that cartoon really, really, REALLY bugs me sometimes (no pun intended). But I digress. 459. Work a Monty Python sketch into EVERYTHING. For example, in one tavern, everything on the menu includes Spam. A party of vikings sits at a table...

453. Recreate Poe's "The Telltale Heart." Have the PCs crawl through a dungeon. In the next to last room, tell them they hear a scream from up ahead. When they enter the last room, have a human greet them cordially and have them sit down at a table. Strike up a conversation, with the human...

Why are people taking this seriously? I said it was satire. Does anyone need me to define satire for them? Yeesh.

In light of all the roleplaying vs. rollplaying/powergaming threads... --- I have a problem in my gaming group. Some of my players have a snacking style that doesn't fit in with my campaign. Most of my players are just fine with the pizza I provide. However, some are not interested in the...

Based on the sneak peek in Asgard magazine, it looks like d20 Supers is going to be AWESOME! The rules seem to be very versatile from what I can tell. It would seem easy to plug them in to almost anything, from a standard Justice League-type game, to a fantasy game, to a modern game. It's...

On a Polyhedron thread from a while ago Erik Mona claimed he was trying to convince someone to do giant robots for Polyhedron magazine, so this might be in the works already.

The players are recruited into a fairly massive agency. They are told they are on the top, and are in charge of eliminating certain other members to keep them from breaking the Agency's cover. Rather, they are really assigned to put some threats to the invasion out of the way.

438. Have the characters enter a city where one street is populated by a large yellow bird, various strange puppet-like monsters, something that looks vaguely like a furry brown elephant, a hord of preschoolers, and a very interracial group of human adults.

431. This one is based on something from a DM I once had. When the players enter a city for the first time, have a halfling walk up to them and say "There is no halfling mafia." Repeat several times. When the players finally take the time to ask some random passerby about this, say this: "All...

Ok, ok. I admit that I was just yanking everybody's chain with that jest about having a life. I'm probably just jealous. Probably because I have relatively limited cash reserves (read: am 13 years old) and have to clear purchases with a higher authority (read: my parents). I'm not much of a...

Now, don't get me wrong, I'm psyched about this game too. I plan on buying it sometime soon. But...well...I'll put it buntly: Don't you people have LIVES?!?! Thank you for your time.

C'mon, people, don't let the thread die. 420. Two words: silly string. 421. Name NPC villians after family members of the players. Give massive experience penalties for failing to finish off a villian in combat.
