Paizo made it pretty clear during the BoVD issue fiasco that the (im)Mature aspects were going to be a standard direction of the magazine. Their past behavior has proven that to be true. I cancelled my subscription. It is a shame- I would like to enjoy the main periodical for my hobby. SD

I have given up being surprised- Anyone know about Riverworld?

PC: C&C Generals (online), Battlefield 1942 (online), and Return to Castle Wolfenstein (solo) PS2: Tenchu- Wrath of Heaven Xbox: Panzer Dragon Oorta SD

I am still reading through this (hey, it is 300 pages long), but I like this book so much it is center of my upcoming homebrew. Bluffside is also very well done- and is going to be used as well. I like Freeport a lot, but already used it for my current group. SD

Once their view on BWP is clear- I just don't discuss horror with them. It puts you where most internet posters are- of passing interest. I try not to bother to recall the personal views of people who I don't know- regardless if I agree with them or not. SD

Sounds solid- I am probably tapped on gladiator-related npc's, but I will keep thinking. :) SD

Murder mysteries always end up horrible for me, but here is something I stole from somewhere (don't recall where) that actually worked out for me: A small bard outfit starring/owned by two brothers is staying at an inn. There is obvious animosity between the brothers (jealousy and greed), but...

I consider it the standard by which I know who I can talk with about horror movies. Those people that did not like it have their horror opinions ignored. Those people that liked it are at least given a chance. It has worked out pretty well in conversations. SD

Do you have an example of something from modern fantasy? SD

I thought so too- and was planning to get one for every person in my group.. Until I saw it had traps for T&T in it. Ugh. I don't want the players to see that. Oh well. SD

Ooh, conspiracy theories- do you have some linked examples? SD

In the past, when a break like that appears in a long term campeign, I would allow them to use their characters but in an alternate universe that was a twisted version of the one they knew. They tended to enjoy that. SD

You had my money at the mention of Wolfgang. Any pics of the cover up anywhere? SD

Instead of putting take "10" into saves- put in a concetration skill check during stressful situations. If they fail, then they suffer a penalty on the save or put the check after a succesful save and if it fails they must make another save the following round. SD

Doesn't the Privateer Press Monsternomicon have a race called Trollkin that are supposed to be that? SD

I would go with this option. Your players should not complain since it affects the npc's as well. How do you plan on implementing the Call? A random check? When you want it to happen? If the former, then make that clear as well- so they know it is not dm fiat out to hurt/help them. SD

My favorite line: "Martha, guit me my howbeard!" SD

I would like to see a sourcebook on this game world. D20 rules on the magic system would be an added perk. SD

Re: Re: Re: Re: How to avoid challenges, and be highly thought of They might, but that suggests their life is changing. I am thinking of a farmer who has no plans to be anything other then a farmer, but must deal with the occasionaly goblin raid or dire boar attack. SD

Re: Re: How to avoid challenges, and be highly thought of Depending on the campeign world- some commoners may be facing daily concerns of monsters and bandits. I could see a high level commoner- the peasant hero archtype comes to mind. SD
