Funny stuff that... article VIII is a form of accident insurance... nice to know they cared for eachother like that. Also surprised that the share for the commanders is relatively small (compare that to the income differences in modern companies between CEO and the floow staff / factory...

Well... a large part of real world nostalgia is simply the human mind / psyche at work... we have a natural tendency to forget a lot of the bad and remember mostly the good... So looking backwards in time, trying to remember how things were, includes a natural tendency towards those rosy...

Hmm... invasion is cool. Maybe it is a recurring event (once every x hundred years, when a certain asteroid / planetoid gets near / a conjunction happens rending / aligning realities) and there is some larger scheme / powers at work 'reigniting' old souls to take up the fight again (and...

Well... as to the effect of the editions of D&D themselves, I firmly believe there are simply different playstyles preferred by different people and each edition caters to some types of play better then others (I say better, because I also believe each playstyle CAN be played in each edition...

Hmm.... well, one should certainly not tell the players... however, there should be a reason, a conjunction of the stars and prophesies, as to why not just individual souls, but a whole gang of heroes, gets reincarnated as a new band of heroes... do they know what the previous heroes of old did...

Go make it! I'd play it. Especially as an expansion of the Dungeons &Warcraft game!

Is there a particular reason the ancient heroes are reincarnated? I.e. is there some great disaster in the making or something? You could foreshadow this. 'apocalypse now' Or, to be in tune with recent marketing drivel, give it a 2.0 descriptor... Fulcrum Prophesy of the ... Maybe some more...

Hmmm... in one of those older dungeon mags, there was this alien dungeon where gravity is not just down and there are all manner of weird walkarounds (non-euclidian is the correct term I believe). Always seemed to be too much hassle to design properly, but especially with players who were always...

Well... one could throw in all the various published worlds/settings as worlds: - Mystara - Dragonlance - Eberron - Faerun - Hollow World (for a Dyson Sphere...) - Maztica - Kalamar - etc. Especially the less well known ones can be fun to use. Forgot the name, but there is also that 'world'...

Nice idea RC... I like that, the pirates seeing themselves not as a roving band of brigands in vessels, but more like a monastic order who happen to have a bit of a loose definition of property and ownership... everything belongs to the Lady of the Void... we only borrow it for a limited time...

I used many sizes of dungeons, all depends upon the circumstances. Especially long time ago, I used to create 'megadungeons' in which the party would spend many levels over many, many sessions. Later, the dungeons got smaller, as they were usually no longer the main focus of the game, rather a...

Parents should never have to outlive their own children... very sad... my thoughts are with them...

Put me in the 'I'll steal, borrow and copy' parts from any type of published module, but never ran a module at all. In the beginning, where I lived, adventures were rarely for sale to begin with, so there was no choice but to make stuff up. Also, the campaigns I ran as DM never had distinct...

hmm.... I feel sorry for myself now... seeing all these people who are getting so much playing / DM'ing done...

Only a 'minor' trickster... ;)

Yeah... In a game I am designing, I go for the following stats: - Smarts (intelligence) - Brawn (strength/con) - Balance (dex) - Charm (charisma/wisdom) Which covers all...

I love D&D. Although lately I have had trouble getting games together due to RL stuff, I have been 'into' the game since 1985 and look forward to retirement and playing the game endlessly in some old folks home...

hmmm... the Black Jones stuff reeks a bit off the Necromonger faith from Chronicles of Riddick... the whole theme of 'if you are powerful enough to usurp your superior, you can' also vibes with the more nasty pirate sorts...

Oh woe... my choice is not among them... namely: none, I don't have any players... Three factors interfere with my gaming: - I have a busy job - I currently do not know any players around here - With two young kids, I currently do not have the time / energy to actively recruit and 'train' new...

The 'whisper' part of my name has two meanings. It is derived from the character from the Glen Cook's Black Company series (a rebel sorceress who gets 'taken' by The Lady and is key in turning the tables on the rebels) and because my voice is quite soft and people complain that I whisper... 72...
