By "turning it up to 11", I mean I want to do ALL of the over the top D&D tropes. My hope is to turn them slightly on their head or do them tongue planted firmly in cheek. Because we can only run once a month, a deep level of immersion is hard to attain. Consequently, the fun seems to come...

I'm a veteran DM of a homebrew that I ran for about ten years. Then I got married and had kids. Now, I'm back and running a new game and a new campaign world. We go once a month, and we're only a few sessions in. It's a 3.5 game. The basic premise of the world is D&D turned up to 11...

Thanks All! I think I'll target Shadow Fey and GURPS Faerie first. They sound like great options. Anyone have any interesting plot thoughts? I started with fey stealing babies to open a gate between the fey realm and the material world. This is in preperation for invasion. (The Seelie...

I'm running a horror style game with Faries as the BBG. Can anyone recommend a source book to me? ThaDium

Thanks Smootrk, But I'm more looking for something to use instead of the Mount. Maybe I should have been more clear. ThaDium

Hi All! It's been a while. I'm looking for alternative abilities to the Paladin's mount. Can anyone point me in the right direction or give me some ideas? -ThaDium

I'm not trying to start a flame war here. In fact, I wouldn't even post this except that my experience with these boards, with very few exceptions, has been that everyone is quite mature and responsible. Anyway, the question: I've found, in reading various game designer's blogs that they all...

I've got a few books on tap: "The Ice Opinion" - Ice T with Heidi Siegmund (Ice T's views on race relations, the position of the black community and how to raise it up) "The Warrior Within" - John Little (On the philosophical teachings of Bruce Lee) "Legacies" - F. Paul Wilson (The second...

So, I'm thinking of saying that if you know the "swift" version of a spell, you know the regular version as well. Having invisability, but not swift invisability makes sense, but why anyone would chose swift invis over the regular version is beyond me. This mostly impacts PrC's and sorcerers...

Feeling Defensive. So, a couple things: 1) When some one posts about how he's getting ripped on in the game and is looking for advice, ripping on him by inferring that he has no balls and/or spine is counter productive. Especially when, after the balls crack, he posts that he found the...

What I've already done: I left out the steps I've taken to remedy the situation because I didn't want the post to get too long. I have: 1) spoken to the DM. 2) spoken to another player to get another opinion. 3) conversted with the player over e-mail. I expect I will be speaking with...

So, I'm having some issues with another player. We've only had 4 games, and he's driving me nuts. Basically it boils down to the fact that he's constantly thowing out caustic insults cleverly disguised as witty barbs. He does this in a manner that makes it unclear if they are in or...

Will Eisner 1917-2005 From my livejournal: Will Eisner passed away on Monday. He was a giant in te comic book industry. Not only did he coin the phrase "graphic novel," he also created The Spirit and turned down Superman. He will be missed. I had the pleasure of meeting him at a literary...

I tend to read eclectic stuff. Things that have passed my eyes recently: The Keep by F. Paul Wilson. Horror. WWII Germans meet a vampire The Russell Rules by Bill Russell. Autobio (basketball) /Leadership/Motivational. In The Pit With Piper by Rowdy Roddy Piper. Autobio (pro wrestling)...

And here I thopught this post was going to be about Superman. :D ThaDium

Ogre Magi My orcs look very much like the ogre magi in the MM. Only with olive or tan skin tones. They have a big cat/feline quality to them. They're also LN as a race, worship ancestor spirits and rule over a vast empire. Not mainstream.

I'd love to participate, but... I've cancelled my sub. I was getting Dragon. It filled all my needs. Then the conversion happened. I'm a DM. So, I should be getting Dungeon now, I suppose. But I find I tend to need player stuff too. I don't have the cash to get both, (Stupid low...

Professionalism releasethedogs- I'm not going to address your payment methods. Others have done so sufficiently. My concern is with the image you're portraying. It's not one that would make me want to support your company, as a contributor or a consumer. Everything you do when you post as...

Good call on the acrobats, clowns and healer. I'll be putting them in. Thanks Bigwilly! ThaDium

Hey! Wulf Ratbane- That 1' hole cutter sounds great! Where can I get one? Do you know? ThaDium
