Decrepit Skeletons.

Another thread here reminded me of of this one, where my nomination should go. Øone Games. A company that gives me exactly the type of support products I want for my games.

If I consider what I know about Øone's previous products I am sure it will be a really elegant product. I will probably buy the folio map myself, just to be able to steal sections of it for homemade purposes. I love the way they work with PDF's. They make it possible to print out player maps...

Interesting. I saw Jack99's post as a curious question, more than anything else. So hard to tell with tone of voice on the Internet. On the other hand I think Jack99's second post kind of shows what he really meant.

I really like Øone's maps, and I am curious about what they are doing with the new setting. I don't mind creating just about everything myself if I can just have someone else make all the maps that I could have use for. For that reason they are one of my favourite publishers, as their PDFs with...

One way would to let them originally work as some kind of secret agents for one of the sides, travelling around and getting to know the other ones. Over time though, give them impulses to "go native" as tehy see that much of what tehy themselves believe in is at least as well represented in...

Considering how easy it is to create such NPCs, my wish is for a fanmade "(random) NPC generator" that we can use either online or as a downloadable applet. I would not pay for a printed version, as it is just so easy to do yourself, but a simple generator tool could be nice as a way to trigger...

I have seen very little that points to people not liking 4E. My RL gaming friends are in general a lot more enthusiastic now than they were a few months ago - especially those that have tested it. As good as all of us are 30+, and most of us have more than 20 years of D&D behind us. We don't...

I am lucky in that the 4E campaign I have planned will be as good as monoteistic. That way, I will not have problems with clerics for different gods behaving differently. My favourite treatment of religion in D&D is 2E specialty priests. Two priests in the same party would often play completely...

One of the reasons why I suggested the Savage Berserker template is that it comes with a nice little immediate reaction.

KJ Parker: The Engineer trilogy. Strongly recommended fantasy with no real supernatural content. Plenty of world and philosophy though.

My gut says that a zombie hulk doesn't really fit as a solo monster, unless you give it a cool template or two. The reason is that a solo monster needs to have many different abilities or be able to do things to a whole party at once, or both. Otherwise the fight is too likely to end up boring...

Hmm... I think you are lucky in a way, because there is just so much fantasy left for you to read it seems. In our home we have hundreds of fantasy titles - not yet a thousand I think. Not counting Tolkien I would say ten or possibly twenty of them feature other races portrayed as they are in...

I voted "No". That doesn't mean that the article is bad. It doesn't mean that I can see it being quite useful to some people. To me? No. The main reason why it is not useful to me is that it goes against how I look at description, especially the literary kind. Let me try and explain: If you...

They are ramen to us, we are varelse to them. All a matter of perspective. :)

Hmmm... I wasn't implying that what you suggest is impossible, rather that a good combat game would mean that people would feel less need to roleplay in order to have fun. So, logically, a bad combat game would help the roleplay. In other words, I was joking. (I always feel bad when I have to...

I am toying with the idea of running a Virtual Gametable based campaign for friends who have left town. As a way to make it more accessible for everybody I would pitch the idea of them sharing the cost of a "player's account", and me having my DM account. They would have access to the player's...

I know what you mean about thinking too hard about certain things. :) In this case I do it, because it kind of helps people understand how come those dark sun halflings aren't necessarily "evil". Normally I would agree that in a fantasy setting "cannibalism" would be humanoids eating other...

I could just chime in with people saying that for my style of roleplay, this new edition is no way worse than old editions. The way it feels right now though (with limited experience), I have something to add. Combats in 4E are more fun to me than they used to be. It could just be the novelty...

Cannibal means eating your own kind. If halflings eat halflings they are cannibal. If lions eat lions they are cannibal. If either of them eat humans or elves or dwarves that doesn't make them cannibals. This is kind of at the core of what Dark Sun halflings are about, the way I look at it...
