    Spiked Chain - AKA "The Cheese Whip"

    How about a Urumi for dangerous flexible weaponry that exists? Urumi (Flexible Sword) - YouTube Cannot find spiked chain fighting, but I can find something even worse for the body of those wielding it ;). Slainte, -Loonook.

    The Common Factor between D&D, Mythology, Fiction, and Life: Horrible Death is Fun

    I found the information on Red Martian lifespans from a quote by Carter cited here from Llana of Gathol and John Carter of Mars... Now, of course this is a compilation of original stories from Burroughs in his later career, but it still has the information in it. Also, if we want to split...

    How does tithing work?

    Yes, but the Paladin gives the tithe alongside taxes, and fees to maintain the land. So please please please go this route so we can introduce adventurer taxation in your game :). Slainte, -Loonook.

    True Damage: An Alternative?

    Why? The claws of a supernatural creature harm you arbitrarily more? And you have developed a DR against magic weapons, non-fire elemental damage... And falling? This isn't really a module even. It's just a strange set of rules even more arbitrary than our current system :D. No thanks...

    The Common Factor between D&D, Mythology, Fiction, and Life: Horrible Death is Fun

    Data does die blowing up the Scimitar... The Martians both Red and Green DO suffer death around 1000 years into their lives, and the Dissolution is quick to age and finally kill the poor creature. Even the Endless can die... At least one notable example of this exists within the series (of...

    Apologies and Explanation for Absence

    The Past Week has been interesting... And brought some cool little articles through my brain: Folklore Friday: Fossegrim - Ever want to get to know that watery-eyed waterfall-Dryad as something closer to its mythic reality? Well then treat yourself here. The Desprezivel - Introducing the...

    No need to call twice in 3 hours... Some of us have different schedules :). I'll be ready Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday... Slainte, -Loonook.

    The Randomness of the D20

    Provide penalties for Aiding Another if you fail, and make the highest roller the main spotter. Gives players the option to throw in with their poor checks if they need the extra bump (i.e. the roll may fail without it) and seems to fit my personal view of the fluff behind the crunch. You...

    Black Box GMing - Would you play with it?

    Really the reason behind it that I had initially setup was because I lacked extra dice to give to them... Then I sat back, realized that you could in theory generate an entire game with a roll pack, and not have to worry about it. Dice exist because they were the most useful way to randomize at...

    Black Box GMing - Would you play with it?

    I actually do this with my nephews... I setup a basic adventure framework, using Wounds over .. And fog-of-war about 200 dice rolls. I run a random die-roller, print the results for 200 rolls. I keep the sheet covered. I know the Target for each specifics (reduced for the type of creature...

    How does tithing work?

    Tithe is 10% off of your gross income. In the case of a paladin who has multiple magic items and powers... Well, how does he pay his tithe? First option is through payment of production. The Paladin who would be worrying about magical items would be able to pay through use of his own...

    Fey

    Depends on whether you are going for D&D or historical. In history many of the spirits which we classify as Fey in D&D appear beautiful. Even the bean sidhe can appear as a beautiful woman, as can the legendary hag (mostly taken from the ideas of the witch)... The leanansidhe were...

    Iron DM 2012 -- R2 complete, Finals in Progress

    Must say I am sort of sad I missed that list... I wasn't aware we were vying spots after the initial. Just been waiting... Also, why no Mention tags on the posts? Definitely makes it easier to keep track. Slainte, -Loonook.

    Roleplaying Power

    This thread has actually made me think a bit on Fhar, his clergy, and associations. Dependent on your specific depth of field there are the pastorals and the urban followers of the Wanderer. The urban clergy usually assist those who travel but settle due to their own personal 'journey' taking...

    Apologies and Explanation for Absence

    I really missed writing a blog... And when ENWorld's blog feature disappeared I just lost some of my steam. Not anymore. For the last few months I have been writing posts going more in-depth on some of the topics I cover here over at The Good Gaming Blog. Just wanted to hip those who used to...

    [Blogging] A to Z 2013

    As someone who has taught History... Wow, just wow. This is definitely a reason for rigorous checks, rechecks, and checking again to make sure. The map is quite obvious to a historian (Mudd is mentioned ;) ) but... Well, I guess the internet is not a reliable source? :). Slainte, -Loonook.

    High-Tech Forces vs. High-Magic Forces

    Rise from the (thread) grave! The whole problem with most rules for Modern weapons are that, well, they suck. Atomic bombs do quite a bit of damage... But most ballistics are actually turned away by a Protection from Arrows spell (per the D20 Modern ruleset). Of course there is also the...

    Zenimax files trademark for "Dragonborn"

    There is a possibility for precedent, or the idea that the trademark itself covers such a wide variety of ground that it is in and of itself unacceptable (I doubt this will occur). The other possibility is that the two locations cover very different concepts under a generic name... Personally I...
