Nobilis. The Big White Book edition, specifically.

Kill ole El isn't easy, but doable. Just play an epic level bard, and convince all of the dieties (use UMD and scrolls of Gate to establish contact) that ole minsty has got to go. Free cool points if you can get Ao in on it.

I pronounce it Shah-Me-Say!

Playing or prepping to play in two homebrews, and a converted-for-3.5 Tomb of the Barrow Wights (we are soooo gonna die) Running or prepping to run a Star Wars D20 Modern game, a converted Ultima Underworld: The Stygian Abyss 3.0 game, A cheesegrinder (current record is surviving 5 rooms, game...

Another neccisary element: I must be able to leap off of a moving object of some kind to tackle my opponant. Strangly, I managed to do just this in a core DnD game just the other day...

I had a badguy with contengency "If someone teleports into my throne room, baleful transposition on the Half-Fiend Rancor I keep in the pit under the throne room." It was a hilarious fight too. The team is scrying the big bad, see him all alone is his throne room / laboratory. They buff up, and...

I've run my alternate WoD once or twice, and it works really well. The PCs tend to either get stuck between a rock and a hard place, with the technocracy on one side and the (nephandi, sabbat, maraurders, unseelie, wyrm, ect.) on the other, or they end up joining one side or the other between...

Yeah you could. It's really good advice to live by.

Such ducts will also be built with regular, sturdy filters throughout. Just because a duct is too small for a normal human to crawl through does not mean he cannot shrink himself, send a small animal companion, or even pump some kind of poison gas, through the pipes.

I'd give the tank full XP. Punishing the tank for not being an idiot is kinda silly.

Ok, the main problem I saw with the original WoD is that it was a setting where normal people are scared of what goes bump in the night. Unfortunately, since you PLAY the thing that goes bump, it either turns into an emo drama, or a superhero game. I would alter it so that the humans in power...

Of course they do. That's called a +2 or +4 circumstance bonus to the balance check.

Know how you have to sign in to vote? Have the old lady who signs you in looks at you with a Detect Magic At Will item. If you detect as having a magical effect active on you, you are not allowed to vote. Special dispensation would of course be allowed for outsiders and the like, the same way...

I run pallys and VoP types under the "best effort" rule. Lets say that Bob the monk is about to kick the bucket, and Timmy the VoP cleric, out of spells, is trying to save him. He can... A) Grab the wand, say "Screw VoP, I'm not gonna let my friend die!", and save Bob. or B) Let Bob die, in...

See, I just never bought that most commoners were 1st level. I put young teens at 1st, older teens at 2nd-3rd, adults go up from there, depending on experience. Once you get to the low teen levels, you are essentially running nations. The high teen levels are for dealing with...

Chaotic Neutral. That is the alignment that you become if you go insane, if memory serves. Since the character has no sustainable moral code (torture and generosity do not generally go togeather in a sound mind), and no grounded sense of human rights (eugenics against their will), he is...

I always run a halloween game if I can possibly manage it. I'll tell you about the Zombie Attack game... It's a DND modern game with all of the characters working for a temp agency. The agency sends them all out to meet with a gentleman at a graveyard (he has all the required permits on hand)...

My current favorite character IS an Orc PC. A cheerfully 4-color, Lawful Good Sorcerer/Dragon Disciple. He's really a people person. EDIT: I also have plans for a Lawful Neutral Drow businessman. Adventuring for greater profit margins! He'll be perfectly polite, because even though these...

Rule Zero.

*snort* It's a chick flick like Coraline was a children's book. That's one of the things I like about Gaiman, is that he can take a fairly conventional story and make it INTERESTING. I remember reading about when he pitched Coraline to his publisher. Gaiman: "It's a fairy tale in the Brothers...
