Re: Re: An Ancient World Campaign Setting: How Would You Do It? Gotta disagree with you here. Even discounting the fact that the "Ancient World" covers a much longer period (and wider geographical area) than the medieval period. I believe that the modern scholarly consensus is that the idea...

Don't mind at all. BM

[OT] One Forum Let the hijacking begin ... Yes, and this is exactly what prompted my comment. Ferret, looking at the guidelines asked for a monster to be statted, and did so in the General Monster Forum, apparently appropriately ("This is also the place to request conversions"). It seemed...

I propose that the the two creature catalog forums be merged into one forum. Both forums are fairly low traffic. And its not clear (to me) that there is much distinction between the two. The descriptions are: General Monster Talk Discuss the monsters of D&D, conversions, or the Creature Catalog...

Goat and Dire Goat My version of the goat and dire goat (also posted on the homebrew thread): Goat Small-Size Animal Hit Dice: ½d8 (3 hp) Initiative: +2 (Dex) Speed: 25 ft AC: 14 (+2 Dex, +1 natural, +1 size) Attacks: Gore +0 melee Damage: Gore 1d4 -1 Face/Reach: 5 ft by 5 ft/5 ft Special...

"Successful campaigns are all alike; every failed campaign is unhappy in its own way." "Sing, goddess, the anger of EricNoah's son Morrus and its devastation, which put pains thousandfold upon the gamers" "Monte Cook asked me to be the fourth player at the Ptolus Club." "In the week before...

D20 Glorantha I have to differ with some of the things said here; I think d20 Glorantha is more true to the spirit of Glorantha than BRP (Runequest) Glorantha. The Gloranthan game world is full of heroes that are far, far more powrful than ordinary humans. Unfortunately, BRP/RQ doesn't model...

Has anyone statted bulls and dire bulls (aurochs) yet? I can't find anything in the creature catalog. BM

Plastic Minis You might also consider buying a load of plastic figures. 1/72 scale is the same size as 25mm figures. There is more information in this thread: http://enworld.cyberstreet.com/showthread.php?s=&threadid=16229&perpage=40&pagenumber=4 I've had good luck ordering from Michigan Toy...

Lapdog Please, please do a lapdog. In my game, I have a high Charisma villainous spellcaster with a lapdog. Sorta like a cross between James Bond's Blofield and Chinese patriarchs. BM

IMHO, you are better off getting rid of elves, dwarves and halflings than trying to shorehorn them into a setting where they don't fit. The biggest component of the PC races are the cultural baggage which they carry: elves are long-lived, artistic, beautiful, nature-loving, etc. Dwarves are...

Re: Re: Re: Goat My intention was that a goat could make a charge AFTER a normal movement, ie as a MEA it moves 10 feet away from you, then reverses direction and charges you. Essentially, it would get to charge every turn (although it would suffer an AoO from backing away). I agree it is not...

Well I'm sure not a scholar, but I'd say the Heroic Age was completely mythological, just an invention of Hesiod and classical Greeks. Whereas the Dark Age was the actual time period before classical Greece. I actually didn't want to delve too far into the Mycenaen age (and cultures) because...

Mythic Polynesia? Tell me more ... Tonguez- The idea of mythic Polynesia fascinates me! Can you give me pointers to source material? BM

Greek-flavored classes from my Heroic Greek campaign Hmm, seems to be a lot of interest about this recently. Well, anyway, following is the class write-up section from my Heroic Greece campaign book. Note that this campaign takes place prior to Classical Greece, so a lot of the Greek cliches...

Greek and Egyptian figs Can anyone reccomend some Greek and Egyptian styled minis? I am trying to avoid having to buy packs of 20 identical figures from real wargame vendors, but I can't find historical-looking figures elsewhere. BM

My campaign is set in "Heroic-Age" Greece, which is about half mythological Greece and half anthropologically accurate Dark Age Greece. The largest changes to canonical D&D I've made are to the classes (no paladins, rangers, monks, or clerics; added Olympic-style athletes and noncombatant...
