Reminds me of an incredibly old Dragon comic (like, AD&D 1st edition)...adventurers at the tavern table, one gesturing slightly with a fist as the back of the barmaid's dress unlaces... "Other Uses For The Ring Of Telekinesis". Still makes me chuckle, but then, it was the first Dragon magazine...

Born and raised right here in Victoria, B.C...southern-most Canadian city (at least, I'm pretty sure...the Ontario dip might be a bit more south), and voted "most livable city in North America" something like 8 years running. I'd be willing to say that, if you like variety without extremes, it's...

I don't think I get it.

Edit: Didn't read the "not spell-like" section. So I guess....hmmm. Incorporeal, provided one could "re-manifest" at will. Barring that, disease immunity. Then medical school.

Well, I don't run many games with minors. But then, my love of D&D came from some books with very...questionable characters. So I guess that gives me more leeway, and I run with it. 1) Sex. I'm not interested in cowriting elf porn with any of my players, so it's glossed, but it happens, in all...

Well, Dragon did a "100 Wondrous Locations" thing...but I guess more detail might make it a book-worthy topic.

Odds are, sadly, that the near future is about to include a mass burial of PC's. The Blacktusk orcs have been getting bolder and bolder, and shocked survivors babble about horrible 'things' coming with them, devouring peasants and orcs with equal abandon as battle begins. The PC's have slain a...

I'd sooner a 3rd-level spellcaster with invisibility and a minion or two than the transparent mushroom mech of low-to-moderate doom. But hey, YMMV. If I desperately need an invisible low-level creature, I'd just make up something that isn't plant life. Don't want the trouble? Phantom fungus is...

Plot devices aren't useless. Especially when you spring the tarrasque on them in place of the expected "Entombed Hero of Legend Who Can Save The World". *smiles quietly, images of players staring in shock dancing through his head* But, I'd say my vote is in there for Phantom Fungus. First time...

D&D (or at least, 3.0 - hated THAC0, and now I get to hate X/substance DR! This isn't a video game, demmit!) is the best game ever. But then, so are CP2.0.2.0, CoC (old school - sorry d20 folks), and Exalted. I can have several games that are equally the "best game ever". Got me the "Improved...

Best. Story. Ever. *resident Vancouver Island anti-Purchasemas fanatic*

*scans back* *blinks* Woah. When I was playing CP2020, we invoked Blackhammer like a prayer. Best drug rules ever made...and finally, the 2020 answer to beer wasn't $100 a six-pack! *winds up the good vibe generator to max*

I find the "mostly" important there. To borrow the cult of the rat queen example, that's the kind of thing that most people don't approve of, but I let the PC's chart their own course through the muddied waters of motive. Do they track down the cult and slay them because they're horrified at...

Since most of the work is still ongoing for my own world, there are just a few I've got done...mostly from when I sat down to answer a pressing question: "So...why psionics? Especially since I prefer 'psionics are different'." 1) The Fallen Sentinel of the Holy City While historical texts and...

*nods vigorously* I just heard about this. You cannot imagine my geeker joy. This is the series responsible for my fascination with D&D. However, my wish for all gamers everywhere is that CP2.0.2.0 comes back.

Doesn't mean I've gotta be fond of the composites. YMMV, but I just don't find them as spooky as other monsters. If my choices are between rejects from Dr. Frankenstein's taxidermy course and something more along the lines of the meenlocks (I sure hope I spelled that right, about 200 miles from...

Only because we wanted the little bugger to finally be useful. Half-interested player dropped out, was valiantly and honestly NPC'd until his painful death in an abandoned mine...one undead swag caddy/wagon guard in the making. Or did you mean not one the PC's created to serve them? :)

Maybe this is just the fact I ripped halfling culture open and Frankensteined it to make the little buggers interesting, but...felldrakes (MMII). They're medium-sized, NG...and even human knights should think twice about countercharging a lance of spitters. Just takes a little rework of their...

Medium-size feline [Cold, Evil, Extraplanar] Close enough?

That belongs to our group wizard. He doesn't say much, isn't much of an in-character player...but he's the LORD of clever spell use. But the big one would be cheating Ethusial of his prize. Ethusial was a young adult black dragon hoping to steal a gold wyrmling for...some purpose. It was a...
