    Fantasy Novel Characters As NPCs?

    Really, there isn't much world to get into. It's the character, and the feel, of it that sold it on me, not the political rivalries of New Sfinctr and the Ozarines. Which doesn't bar the fact that, if I could, I would so play a DnD game in that world.

    Fantasy Novel Characters As NPCs?

    I'm thinking about adding Greyboar and Ignace from Eric Flint's The Philosophical Strangler. Halfling Rogue/Assassin and Ogre Monk, probably.

    Your first character

    Ignoring non-PC games? Well, the first character I made was Amnessa 'Red' Jassipta, a halfling rogue with a penchant for scourging the cruel, making some cash, and then giving it all away to small starving children. Less awesome is the minor detail that I don't recall her connecting on a...

    Tell me about other (non-core) PC races in your world!

    Well, the non-core races in my campaign are the elves (eeeeeeevil and creepycreepycreepy) and the Volcae. The Volcae are descended from lemurs in a manner reminiscent of humans from apes. As such, they're gifted with +2 to Wisdom, -2 to Constitution, have lowlight vision, and live in the...

    Halflings on horses????

    He can't. I don't have the rules onhand either, but the fact of the matter is that his tiny tiny legs can't reach far enough to get to the stirrups - he can't mount the beast without assistance, he can't control it at all, and isn't all that stable up there anyway. Tell him to get a pony, war-...

    Help needed in monster creation

    Well, yes and no - the players are currently level 1 (Goblin Cleric of the God of Technology and Law, Gnome Wizard, and Halfling Duellist (CombatWombat51's class)) but they won't be facing these elves yet. They're more 'mid-level lieutenants of the BBEG', in terms of what I want them to do...

    Help needed in monster creation

    So I'm running a campaign, starting Friday. While these monstery-folks aren't necessary for that session, I'd like to get them done (so I don't forget and end up on the spot, which I do all too often). Problem is, I simply don't understand the rules of CR, LA, ECL, and so on well enough -...

    Where is the Unearthed Arcana SRD?

    Um. I think he (she?) meant it more along the lines of 'free and publically accessable', actually.

    Tell me about gnomes in your world.

    Gasp! UNHAND THAT TIDBIT, MISCREANT, OR FACE THE WRATH OF THE GNOMISH HORDE! Or, y'know, have fun with it! Either one, really.

    Mythic India?

    A good first question would be 'Where in India'? Remember, India's almost a continent, with the diversity of culture and religion implied in that. In terms of weapons, they had a variety of weapons. Bows were famous, often 'noble' weapons in many of the myths. Early India used chariots...

    Help Needed Planning A Campaign (My Players (Sounds so pretentious from me) Stay Out)

    So far, of the three players I have, there is a Gnome Wizard, a Goblin Cleric, and a Halfling Swashbuckler (CombatWombat51's Duellist). I have the tiniest party ever. That said, there is the beginnings of a background story for the PCs being formed. The Gnome PC was taught her Wizarding...

    Tell me about gnomes in your world.

    In my world, I dealt with their overlap by saying that gnomes and dwarves are the same species - gnomes are the females, dwarves are the males. Dwarves are fairly classic, though they are more stoneworkers and architects than miners and smiths. They think and act in a fairly direct and blunt...

    Help Needed Planning A Campaign (My Players (Sounds so pretentious from me) Stay Out)

    Well, that's the nifty thing about brainstorming (with other people) - not-so-usable ideas can be ditched easily enough. So! Fairly certain things for campaign world! There are no oceans, and the lands are made up of floating islands. Starting floating island is 2400 miles away from Big Bad...

    Help Needed Planning A Campaign (My Players (Sounds so pretentious from me) Stay Out)

    Hrm. Currently, I am trying to figure out what character classes I want available. PC Races are as follows: Goblin, 'Half-Elf' (DnD Elf stats, product of seduction or rape by real elves), Human, Dwarf (only male), Gnome (which is, in my homebrew, a female Dwarf), Volcae (wood-dwelling...

    Shameful BUMP due to disappearing under the server crash. So shameful.

    Help Needed Planning A Campaign (My Players (Sounds so pretentious from me) Stay Out)

    I don't think it actually created any new races - it empowered the undead something awful for a time, and fixing things made the world go boom, but it was a boom caused by a sudden shortfall in magic, rather than over-magical chaos. That said, possibilities include orcs, hobgoblins, and...

    Help Needed Planning A Campaign (My Players (Sounds so pretentious from me) Stay Out)

    So. I'm planning on running a few games for a couple friends o'mine in a few weeks. Like, the 28th, which I think qualifies for 'few'. I've played some DnD - enough to get a working relationship going with just about everything but Attacks of Opportunity - so complicated! ;_; - and magic...

    What deities worshipped, if any of them, are real? Are there any deities worshipped?
