Sloopy Pottyhump, reporting for duty! Hagor

I voted "rarely". In the past, as students during our sunday evening/night session, we usually drank a couple of beers. Since I had to drive home, alcohol intake was very restricted for me, however. Nowadays, there very rarely are any alcoholic beverages at the table. We usually have orange...

Great thread! Lots of good advice and inspiration! I have noticed similar: I had a major villain, who the PCs desperately wanted to kill. I just had to mention his name and the PCs dropped everything and followed the lead. However, when they finally met him, only 1 PC of the active party knew...

In the 'city of the spider queen' campaign I'm playing in (at the moment temporarily on hold) our party contained one halforc barb/FB. I voted for option nr 3: He behaved rather well... for a FB, mainly due to the following: - he was the only tank we had and he liked to charge the enemy, while...

Lately, I've been toying with the idea of using Europe (in particular the Mediterranean Area) during the Roman age as the background for a campaign. Pro's: the roman age is fairly well known, but remains on the border line of myth and history (so it's easy to incorporate monsters, magic, ...)...

I couldn't have said it any better!

I agree. I would put them back in, but rather as plot elements. As several other have said as well, life extending magic, delaying death, quests for the Fountain of Youth, etc or immortality are a standard theme in fantasy. IMO, such potions/elixirs would be expensive (with some rare, hard to...

not so impressive as some of the other posters but I've hit numbers somewhere between 40 and 50 with the following: halfling thief/fighter/peerless archer (12th level), maxed out hide (and move silently), high dex (20), racial boni, etc, but no magic enhancements cheers hagor

dito!

"Windstriker, I choose you! *Pika!*" :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: 'nuf said! Hagor

First of all, I'll second the suggestions to look more closely into "the Name of the Rose (see Kid Charlemagne's post) and especially into the Cadfael mysteries (see Templetroll's post). The latter will give you some information about the area around the monastery and the interaction between the...

I have been thinking about using "real" maps as well. At the moment, I'm thinking of using the Mediterranean sea area (perhaps during the Roman era) as the basis for a game. But this will probably remain just an idea. Indeed! my thoughts exactly when I read the books several years ago. The...

Apart from the rolling in front of strangers part, yes. Didn't work though (and that was a big surprise ;) ). I've used some modified percentile dice roll, with a re-roll when the number was too high. Hagor

I'm a Neutral Good Human Wizard. Pretty close to my first character (Dolf the Blue, NG 1/2 elf wizard)! Hagor

Chimay! What a surprise to see it mentioned (and linked) here! By the way, if you ever come to Belgium, you got a lot more Trappists (Rochefort! Westmalle!) and abbey beers (Corsendonck! Affligem!) to choose from... (Well, not a lot more Trappist beers, since there are only six...). (with my...

QFT We usually have cookies, cakes, chips and frequently some pie as well. It is pure decadence when the players arrive and start piling the food and drinks on the table! Not to mention the difficulty in finding the dice between it all! :p Hagor

:lol: :lol: :lol: Since I prefer a more gradual regaining of magical power, I voted 'regenerates over the course of the day'. However, this may take longer than that, especially if the caster has cast (almost) all his available spells (or, in other words, has (almost) 'depleted' his...

In a 2E birthright campaign my dwarven fighter (as a matter of fact specialised with the pick, which agreed with his miner profession) once started throwing some bread towards an advancing skeleton... To be honest, it was dwarven bread, based on that described by Pratchett in his...

Here are some examples of as yet never played character concepts(and most if not all will ever be played, I fear): For the city of the spider queen campaign I'm playing in (although the campaign seems to be 'dying' and not 'stabilizing' since the last session was several months ago), I had...
