Gotta admit, you had me scared!

I'm modifying their version of the intellect devourer (and honestly, it may just be the SRD intellect devourer they statted out, I haven't compared them), but yes everything in that paragraph is from that book.

I haven't quite crystalized mine yet. Anyone care to share theirs?

Ultimately I have decided to put them in an Underdark like place on the moon. I'll be smooshing together a lot of stuff from various sources: MM: modified xill (a bit nerfed, but with electricity guns and sonic swords); modified violet fungi (they are much more ambulatory, like evil mushroom...

Well I am the chair of a 10-person department and run about 4-6 meetings per year, and yeah I do almost all of that stuff. I do an agenda, budget time for each item, have a timekeeper who nudges me if we go over budgeted time, etc. There are some similarities but ultimately it's different...

I don't play WoW. I experienced what I am like with this sort of game when I played City of Heroes. I was obsessed enough that I kept doing it, but I was never able to keep up with any of the hard-core players (I would still be looking around or trying to figure out how to get from point A to...

Having been on the player's side of the table with a fairly high level spellcaster, I can say it's not as easy as it sounds. Even when I think I have done a good job of recording the info, a month later it doesn't always make as much sense as it did at the time. Particularly spells that are...

Unlike a computer game where you can basically save any time you want, running a live game sometimes means making some plans -- or sacrifices -- in order to arrange things so sessions end at an appropriate time. It's very hard to end in mid-combat in my games, and I even find it inconvenient to...

I have a vision of the "master race" being brains in jars toted around by (whatever brutish humanoid - moon ape or whatever). Hmm...

I finished the Diamond Age audiobook and am now listening to Wicked. I'll be picking up a Stephen Baxter sci fi short story collection at the public library this weekend (Vacuum Diagrams I think it's called).

They were balls of light that manipulated four-armed mechanical humanoid-shaped constructs. But that was when they were on Earth; this could have just been their souls or some kind of astral spirit manipulating the machines, and thus I have the freedom to pick something different. I am kind of...

Part of my problem as a DM is I often have these vague ideas but have trouble getting them solidified. I have two routes I could see: 1) they had just been in "faerie land" and so this could be bringing them back to their own world but just in a different place. 2) this could fling them even...

And as another FYI... I'm a mighty, mighty man. I'm young, and I'm in my prime!

The most fun I had with a city-based plot was having the PCs defend three buildings from attacks from the thieves' guild all at the same time. The background story was that merchants and business people in a particular neighborhood of a crime-infested city were sick of paying protection money...

Not much of anything. Fallout 3 was good but isn't holding my attention on even a second time through (as compared to Oblivion which I am replaying again for the billionth time).

Mrs. Noah is supremely supportive of my hobby, but does not herself participate.

You know, there's a DCC with a hidden spaceship in it. Hmm....!

Sadly one of the players just got done DMing RttToEE for me for like the past 8 years. :) It's tricky finding a dungeon that works as well backwards as forwards. I suppose I could just say level 3 of Dungeon X is really level 1, etc. Ah well, I have some time, I'll peruse my DCCs and see...

I left my last game in a cliffhanger - 5th level PCs were teleported by fey to a dark, dank cave. That's all they know - they haven't actually seen anything, they just know it's cold and damp and dark and echoey. So ... where would YOU put them? I was thinking of sticking them on a level...

I think I figured out what I'm going to do. The main change I'm going to make is with the quickling. I'm going to have him show up earlier and just be an invisible annoyance from time to time. I'm also going to give him either a power or a magic item simliar to a joy stealer's - he can steal...
