Interesting how a name can make such a huge difference...i once named the emperor Carl Franz in a non Germanic setting :D

i would also suggest looking through the Raveloft series called "Grim Harvest" as far as mining for ideas. an idea to consider would also be, as others have suggested, undead willing to help since they want to end their misery. A sick twist to this would be to make some of them people that the...

Haverdash? saw his people, for whom he had sacrificed so much and for whom he had been akin to a god wiped out (this is his view- the truth might be that he had become selfish and corrupt-10,000 years is a long time to be king). And now he himself has embraced undeath. No matter, death will not...

I ran a one shot of the giants series using the pregenerated characters ad Gleep Wurp the eyebiter kicked ass!

I am going through an old Module called the Duchy of Ten (set in Blackmoor) and the name of the evil superbeing is ... "EGG OF COOT" :lol:

the NPC i have in mind is not evil, but rather very simple and loyal. He is considers one of the "evil" NPCs to his true friend (which is actually the case as well) (the NPC is a high level cleric, who always takes precautionary measures to counter the rage just in case...of course, he might...

That is just brutal....the NPC i am creating will have a +10 to his strength with the frenzy rage stacked. And considering the improved power attack (+3 for every 1 point penalty when weilding a a 2 handed weapon), die hard feat and deathless frenzy the PrC seems a bit over the top. But i do...

Does the "Frenzy" ability stack with barbarian rage. The frenzy gives a bonus to strength, would this stack with the bonus from the barbarian rage?

Does anyone have any instances of when good writers/story tellers sucked at Gming?

Great comments so far! I agree that the skills don't go hand in hand per say. But what stuck out when i was reading the book was that even though an author does "decide" what the outcome of a given situation is, the decision is made for him by the characters and their motivations rather than a...

I was recently reading Steven King's book - "On writing" ( a great read btw.) and many of what is stated about being a good writer seems to resonate in being a good GM. For example, he states that you should almost always never "plot" but rather have characters in situations and let them react...

Hmm, What day is good for everyone? Sundays are good for me. I have a lot of responsibilities as well and once or twice a month sounds fantastic (including an ongoing campaign). The game will probably be in midtown. I am also a firm believer in "the people you play with should be people you...

Absolutely! No ten book series and his characters are always "gray". Robin Hobb is pretty good too.

They usually will replace it.

Hi Gang, Are there folks in NYC interested in starting a new campaign? If so lets talk!!

I was just browsing through the website for the story hour and realized that the maps link does not work/ has nothing in it. I am trying to get an understanding of the geography of Kivia and the route the party took/where several locations are in relation to each other.

I am currently leaning towards CoC, Traveller or Paranoia. Someone mentioned "Savage Worlds" to me. Anyone here know anything about this?

Great maps! Here is a request, It is just a concept pn my part - I am creating a " Fortress of shadow", by default this would have to be created by light, maybe coated with shadow and has to be unique in that it was originally created by denizens of the shadow plane? Any ideas?

What is "Over the Edge"?

Can you guys tell me more about Paranoia and Traveller? It sounds fun and interesting. As far as Genre, i am trying to expand my horizons a bit from the standard medival fantasy and do not want anything too complex. What does everyone think of Spycraft? D20 modern?
