Congrats, and sleep while you still can! :D Personally, I'm all in favor of traditional names... Hastur, Cthulhu, Nyarlathotp.... ;)

Hmmm.. Rope, Canvas, possibly a few barrels of supplies such as dried apples or salt pork, a barrel containing a few handfuls of nails to help in building shelter, netting, maybe a empty chest or two...

Hmm.. the plan could be to destroy the barrier and allow the land of the dead to merge with the land of the living, presumably with the BBEG as ruler. Or perhaps the BBEG wishes to use the weakened barrier to absorb the souls of the dead and raise himself to godhood. The BBEG himself could be...

Take a look at pictures and descriptions of various cave formations. SOme of them are truly bizarre. Things like Flowstone, Gypsum flowers, mammalaries (cave clouds), and soda straws. Also, the deeper they go, the more likely it is that they will come across huge crystals (some have been found...

In this case the theme seems to be less that you can take it with you, and more of 'I will rise again' In whcih case the same things are appropriate, although rather than having armories with huge numbers of weapons displayed on racks where they can rust, weapons and armor may be carefully...

Well, as to what is in the rooms.... Perhaps unstable ad possibly dangerous items from different time periods... experimental portals through time, prisons for creatures that exist out side of time that the Lich would like to study(think Hounds of Tindalos from Lovecraft/CD20), chambers for...

I'm exceedingly lucky. MY wife and I actually met over a copy of Realms of Valor back in high school... Her previous boyfriends refused to teach her how to play because she was 'a girl' so i taught her how and she's an avid player now.... WOOHOO!!! :D :D :D :D :D

My deepest sympathies... A shot shall be raised for him this weekend... :(

Speaking of noise, I can hear the blood pressure of the people who run that site rising as I type.....

Panopticon: what appears at first to abe a simple, fist-sized cube of cut glass or crystal, but whose facets multiply rapidly the long one stares at it, and each facet begins to show different and wildly disparate scences. For a user with an intelligence of less than 18, this effect causes...

Not sure if congratulations or condolences are really appropriate :D I work tech support for a major restaurant chain, and people who work with them everyday have no idea how to do the simplest things... but any way, congrats and I hope you enjoy it.. at least for awhile ;)

Wel, actually....My partner and I *did* do an ice world. It's not entirly ice covered... still has large areas near the equator free of ice...

*bump* just because this is a great thread that doesn't deserve to languish unread

Its strange, but I do most of my game preparation when I'm at work or immediatly after when i get home. I work 6pm-3am tech support for a major restaurant corp. (think of a rolling stones song) so I keep a note pad nearby and just jot down ideas as they come to me, sometimes I jot down some...

why does it have to be a specific item? It could be as vague as "I heard a rumor that far to the west there rests a cave. In that cave a glittering purple gem the size of a man's fist is said to increase the powers of you blood-mages a hundred fold..." or something similar. Implying that its...

Since she was a highly effective assasin for quite some time, you could arrange to have a former guildmaster/employer, etc track her down, wanting her to do 'one last job', which is aprticularly effective if they have some sort of hold over her i.e. blackmail. The relatives of someone she killed...

Just picked this up yesterday... Haven't had time to read mroe than the first to chapters, but Wow! oh.. and BUMP! :D

One thing I've found usefull for political intrigue particularly, is to decide on projected and actual goals for the major players (and minor if you're going really heavy on the intrigue or your in a vipers nest like an imperial court). The projected goal being what the players know intially...

On the subject of long bows... To my knowledge, a cloth yard shaft COULD penetrate plate, but only under a particular circumstance. THe arrow had to be fired UP and then arched down onto teh target to add velocity to the arrow. A direct shot at close range by a long bow would dent the armor, but...
