    Iron DM & Ceramic DM ?

    Having never competed in Iron DM I make no comparative claims. That being said, this man of clay lies. Ceramic DM is far from laid back. It is a ruthless, cut-throat competition which culls out the weak and sickly. Putting together clay's pictures into something coherent. Oy-vey! Of course, as...

    Gunpowder in your games

    This is the coolest and most original way of putting firearms into a fantasy campaign that I've ever heard of. :cool: 2TU

    Help with superhero inspiration

    I'm going to be running a superhero game for my group soon and I'mlooking for websites with cool inspirational stuff, especially concept art. I've got a fair amount of stuff so far, but I was hoping for more and Google's defeating me at the moment. Can people give me some useful links? Thanks

    I have a 22 Constitution.

    I was just working off the limits advertised here in Australia. The advertising here encourages people to drink no more than two standard drinks an hour. Of course, saying you've had thirteen over six hours when ten of those were in the last two hours obviously blows the maths. Personally I...

    Gunpowder in your games

    A great book for incorporating gunpowder into a medieval world is Mary Gentle's "Ash: A Secret History". It's set in the high middle ages, on the cusp of the renaissance. Gunpowder is there, but it doesn't win battles. An excellent book in general, BTW.

    Gunpowder in your games

    In our Spider Moon campaign guns are available to anyone who wants them - my psychic warrior's the only one who uses them. He fires his musket and then charges into melee. The halfling ranger (with short bow) still craps all over him for ranged damage. We find that the fantasy feel holds pretty...

    I have a 22 Constitution.

    13 shots of spirits over six hours works out to only a hair over two standard drinks an hour - as an adult male you were still safe to drive. As for the dance thingy and being able to talk - well how drunk everyone else was factors in there, maybe you did well because everyone was even more...

    Disappointed in 3.5 books

    Re: Re: Re: 3.5 books are a rip-off! You heard it here first! So basically your argument is "3.5 sucks coz it doesn't include my house rules". Not much of a criticism, really. I'd say the fact that it was called 3.5 and not 4.0 should have told you outright that it was going to be a half...

    [OT] Paintball perverts

    You know if I had a list of things to do with a beautiful, naked woman who was paid to spend time with me, paintball would just not be on it. :shrug: There's obviously something about this whole thing that I'm just not getting!:confused:

    Ditching traditional fantasy conventions?

    This is the background cosmology that I've written for the Spelljammer campaign I'm starting up (after my friend's died earlier this year). It isn't conventional fantasy (more sf in feel) but it does try to incorporate traditional D&Disms (as defined in this thread. Just thought people might...

    moron patrol (ot, but funny!)

    If they ever ask me for conclusive proof that the fourth estate is dead, I shall quote this story. BTW, the Altrusian war crimes tribunal just called, something about a mass garden gnome grave?;)

    Inspirational paladin speeches

    And another from the same fanfic: The Weave blankets the world, a tapestry of history, of eternity, of power and mystery. Let all be born free and let none who are born free be bound by the Weave. From the mystery we seek revelation; from the power we seek protection; to eternity may we be...

    Inspirational paladin speeches

    A paladin's ethos, from my Baldur's Gate fanfic: You ask me how it is that I can judge? Am I so much holier than you that I might have the right to judge? I tell you no, I am no more holier than you. I tell you that all have fallen short of the standard. Before the truth, both you and I are...

    Thoughts and prayers for you. I know it isn't the death sentence it used to be, but it still blows. :(

    I think that you're overreacting, but every post has a "report this to a moderator" button. If you think this should be shut down, hit the button and follow the prompts; it is your right.

    (OT) I have never known fury like this

    With the exception that the "juvenile offenders" are there solely because their parents felt that this would "be for the best". The article cites kids who are in because they couldn't get along with their parents - hell that's 95% of teenagers on the planet. Also, behaviour modification to this...
