    Welcome to the Halmae (updated 2/27/07)

    Two scrolls of cure light wounds, in a form that the humans couldn't possibly recognize, don't really count for much in my book. Even if the humans were able to read them, they still won't regenerate an ear or a finger. Personally, given the existance and acceptance of slavery as an...

    Welcome to the Halmae (updated 2/27/07)

    Maybe it's just me, but I don't see a moral crisis here. The elves are clearly in the wrong. Their children mutilated a group of humans, left insufficient healing in an unrecognizable form, and are making war on a human village that only has a loose connection with the soldiers who are trying...

    "....so we tossed the jerk out...."

    I actually had to get rid of one player - who himself was a little weird, and sort of poorly socialized - because of his non-gaming wife. She was so strange, and so unpleasant, that the rest of the girls (my wife, and some of the other player's SOs, who hang when "the guys" are gaming) couldn't...

    What have you done to REALLY make your players hate an NPC?

    I created a monster called the lich spawn - basically a low-powered lich - and threw him at the party repeatedly. They really, really, really hated this guy, because he just kept coming back. Eventually they started taking all kinds of risks to destroy him every time he showed up. Leaping...

    PC's trading in items

    I treat gems as cash - but, in the event they are selling goods, I give them a flat 60% baseline; if they really take time or sell to someone in the market for what they've got they can even raise that higher. That's above the 50% I would normally give them, because they have some serious...

    What's the Most Asinine Character Idea/Concept You've Dealt With?

    That seems a bit harsh - after all, haven't we ALL wanted to play a stripper/hooker kung-fu ninja daredevil? Errr... okay, maybe it's just me.

    Welcome to the Halmae (updated 2/27/07)

    I can't wait to hear what the questions are! Great stuff, as always, and very inspiring. I'm sending my players into the desert now, and may just be stealing some of this for inspiration... thanks!

    Sometimes, It feels good to be a writer.

    It's always a good thing to do work that makes you proud. And it isn't product pimping if you don't mention the product!

    [d20] What don't you know? (free pdf books)

    pull a gem from the bag behind the mixed-color turtle. You know for a fact that this particular bag is going to be a single-color bag. Move the corresponding single-color turtle to that bag. Move the other single turtle to the now-empty bag. Move the multi-colored turtle to that bag. You're...

    An age old topic that was never answered!

    Where would you get that many cats? Why, the demi-quasi-elemental plane of Felines, of course. Eee-Gods, what a horrific thought.

    Campaign Specific Website

    Interestingly, while I make web sites for a living (see sig, for example), I use a free Yahoo group for my campaign. Don't really need more than that, I guess, and don't feel like making my gaming a total busman's holiday... jtb

    Code of Conduct for Paladin of Erevan Ilesere

    Well, unless you are departing from the "must be Lawful Good" type of paladins, I don't think this God would HAVE paladins. I mean, look at the list of alignments for His priests... Lawful isn't among them. So I'm not sure it matters... On the other hand, if you are allowing him to play a...

    Sorcerers w/o Material Components

    I did exactly that. It has had only one effect on the game at all, and that is just due to a technicality in a house rule regarding the way metamagic feats work. Otherwise, it has had no effect at all. I will say, however, that there are no wizards in my party - it isn't a class PCs are...

    What effect might the death of these gods have?

    Some of the note here have made me think, so I've been reworking the portfolios a bit. Good Fortune is taken out of the Arcane/Time portfolio - it's inherant in the Gambler's portfolio. Love moves to Hearth and Craft. Passion is instead substituted into the Gambler's portfolio. So they now...

    What effect might the death of these gods have?

    Very Tom Stoppard of you! That's going to have to be a little interlude, now... wonder how it will fly?
