This is excellent work Bercilac! Its great to see this character being fleshed out, her history really explains her chaotic state of mind. I also look forward to integrating the background you created into the Ilk's "official" history.

So the Book of Vile Darkness has some cool rules that cover possession. But I'd like some rules for exorcism. Anyone seen any or house ruled them before?

Chapter 3 – Into the Void “Luckily for all of us I managed to take a look at that useless captains map during the journey” says Lucia. “I don't think we're that far away from the bay.” Dalgrieve and the Bagman are still sitting on the sand, staring silently into the seething ocean, and Lucia is...

If I had to choose one series to recommend to you it would be Neon Genesis Evangelion. One of the most original and gripping story lines you're ever likely to see. As for movies Ninja Scroll is a fantastic piece of fantasy and has often inspired me when writing a campaign. Howls Moving Castle...

Just wondering if any progress has been made on this. I feel like a little kid who's lost his security blanket.

I also have a player who could be described as having D&D ADD. Though I prefer to look at it as a form of bipolar localised to the character creation section of his mind. Before I started my campaign he came up with around 20-30 characters before finally settling on one to play. During this time...

Hi, I'm also not getting email notifications of thread replies.

Points 4 and 5 are possibly the funniest things I've ever read on these forums. Kudos to you for sharing this with us all.

I'm not sure there are exact rules for this, but I think its simple enough to play by ear. I'd say that the strength bonus only applies to those hands on which the gauntlets are actually worn. After all they are listed as 'gauntlets', not a 'gauntlet'. Does it list any "extra arm" bonuses in the...

Recently the druid character in my campaign expressed an interest in growing, harvesting and processing psychoactive plants for the purpose of setting up a drug dealing operation. I couldn't find any rules for it in the core books, so I checked the Book of Vile Darkness which has a section on...

Bercilac - Thanks for that, I've made corrections to the first chapter. Chapter 2 - An Urban Jaunt After exiting the bar the party members find themselves standing in the middle of a cobble stone street. “Nice performance,” comes a voice from behind them. “Though the Red Paw are nothing but...

An Introduction to the Ilk Dread Ilk is a world that resembles the classical hell. Jagged outcrops of rock dot a landscape of red sand and lava rivers. The sky is black, save for a hazy red moon which bathes the landscape in an unnatural luminance. Long ago the Ilk was colonised as a prison...

Bump for comments.

This is not your traditional story hour by any means, but is instead a narrative version of a small impromptu role playing game which has been run via email. There are no dice or character sheets involved, and the events and outcomes described here are determined purely by our own imaginings...

The playing dead option is not meta gaming, as this could happen in real (fantasty) life. But punching yourself out because you know the game rules will allow you a chance at survival most definitely is. Surely a real hero (assuming your PC is one) would sacrafice himself, knowing he had no...

An excellent idea I must say. Perhaps the players would have the option of staying in the game after losing all their money if they sacrifice a finger. Though I guess trolls would have an unfair advantage, aside from their poor intelligence.

Hey guys, I'm going to be running a campaign with the players using monstrous humanoid characters starting at level 5. The campaign is 3.0 but I'm using rules from Savage Species and the 3.5 Monster Manual. According to Savage Species, when making a monster into a playable PC I should be...

Wow. I feel I've had such a sheltered childhood in comparison. Worst we ever did was play British bulldogs or occasionally dead arm. I am liking the Russian roulette idea. I'm thinking possibly some sort of system which turns a crossbow around a table, and takes a shot at each person sitting...

Haha, how bout I put in an NPC named after you? Though theres no guarantee he won't die a gruesome death at the hands of psychopathic PCs. If I get stuck on anything else I will definitely send you an email. I suppose my main problem is motivation. Running a home brew world using only monstrous...

Hey Leif, I really like your card game. Its suitably diabolical. I remember requesting some descriptive text for an underground pit fighting establishment, but don't remember receiving a map. I still haven't started the campaign, just working a way on it gradually whenever I have time. My...
