I just thought I would mention that I found a cool place to get some ideas for creepy adventures. On the website www.horrorchannel.com they have a feature they started called daily scares - apparently a horror author (can't recall the name right now) is submitting one paragraph blurbs for...

I just finished a very good book dealing with a theme along this line. It is the new novel by Brian Keene called "The Conqueror Worms". It deals with a world wide flood and an invasion of -surprisingly- giant earthworms. Very good on atmosphere and full of good invasion ideas. It was my...

Very Interesting. I am curious about what this predator was. Is there any more information you might have - a name, a link? I would really appreciate it. Thanks! Has anyone ever thought of having orcs and humans BOTH be descended from Neanderthals? One branched off to become more...

I would definetly say it's worth it! Seriously though, the armoury is a great gaming store since the owners are very friendly and have a knack for relating to thier customers. Bruce - who owns the store w/ his wife Diane - kept a copy of Libras Mortis back for me when it came out because he...

To all ohioian gamers This applies mainly to my fellow ohio-ian gamers - derbercher, biggusgeekus, and crothian (sorry if I've spelled your name wrong - as of right now I've had half a bottle of rum in the last hour) Try the armoury if you are anywhere near Pickerington, Oh...

Here are some of the creatures I've either used or want to use in my campaigns: -Troll Ranger w/ any PHB player races as favored enemies, ranger is a good class to add to monsters w/ the proper favored enemy -twig blight rogues -choker rogue -goblin barbarian (using the element of surprise)...

I get numerous ideas from movies, comics, songs, TV, Books etc but one idea recently came to me from a very unusual source - promise not to laugh? - the new double mint twins commercial. Don't ask - even I can't explain it.

How y'all doin? I was at Origins Friday and saw the Angelfire set up and it looked great! The one that most stuck out in my mind was a minotaur that I believe was in Savage Species with the feral template. It looked awesome - not as big as I thought it would be but very cool anyway. BTW -...

I enjoy creeping my players out with little details that have no obvious meaning. For example, while in a town where a murderer was causing a stir they were asked to help with the investigation. At each crime scene they examined with a body they noticed a small black beetle scurrying away...

For the bigger spells my PCs must keep track of the components. For items under 1 gp they must have a "spell component pouch" which the spend 1gp per level per month to keep stocked. Anything under 1gp is assumed to be in there.

Ssyriss - city of coils In the homebrew I am working on medusas possess an incredible life span, some of the most ancient living upwards of 2,000 years. In a vast swamp there lies a city that is ruled over by the medusa race. In fact, the ruler of this city was featured in BlackDirge's suped...

I've noticed a great number of undead used in these enounters. While this makes sense that the creepiest thing would be the mockery of life that is undeath, I was wondering what other creatures have been used to creep players out? Not just scare them because of possilbe damage or death to...

It's a shame you didn't get to finish this off, it sounds like it would be a really cool time. I've never played any of the silent hill games so it was all new to me. Don't let the length of the post stop you, if you feel like sharing more creepy ideas, share on...

In the homebrew I'm currently working on there is a heavy Lovecraft influence. I do have a town modeled after Insmouth. Outsiders tend to avoid it, the locals are rumored to practice a type of magic unknown anywhere else. I haven't decided what type of ancestry they will have. I am thinking...

Somehow I always manage to have my players run a Dawn of the Dead type adventure, no matter what type of world we are playing in.......Good luck!

During one Ravenloft campaign I was DMing the PCs had to get through a city that had recently been infested with flesh-eating zombies - ala Dawn of the Dead. Two things really added to the whole atmosphere of the feeling - a couple of days ago we walked around this town and talked to people and...

Monastary and...

Here are my three choices, although I think alot has been done to convert bits of these I have yet to see a conversion with alot of material. D20 Dune (Frank Herbert) - there was an article in dragon magazine a while back that just covered a little of it but I think this would be a great D20...

In one gaming group I ran a long time ago one of the PCs found a sword that had the power to create a ghostly double of the wielder during combat. This was all well and good until the double started appearing at the oddest times, usually at the edge of everyon'es vision. Even after the sword...

During a trek through the lair of a (believed) destroyed lich I creeped out some of my players by having phantom hands touch them at random times. Thanks to bardic knowledge they knew that the lich in question used to be a lady's man - even in undeath he would use spells and illusions. During...
