Me and my semi regular group are settling down into a nice, long, slow xp trek through a celtic+cthulhu flavored kingmaker campaign under pathfinder and all the 3.5 splats. What I am looking for is speed of play enhancements and really any tasty crunch you guys can put forward that would slot in...

I'm surprised no one recommended it yet, so I'll put it out there and say pathfinder is my one book system of choice for fantasy. As others have said both savage worlds and M&M are solid one book systems as well. RIFTS is fun too if you don't care one whit for balance. Thats the limit of my...

I smoke weed. I have a prescription. Recently, I thought about what I'd do if I lived in a medieval setting with a very low life expectancy due to the ferocious beasts residing just beyond the walls of my lifelong town. I'd smoke alot more weed. So, to that effect I have statted up a great...

Adopted this today after reading for my incredibly stoned and/or on psychedelics group and it was a resounding success (can't believe I never thought of it myself, probably because I have slick initiative tracker). Kept everyone far more involved to the point of yelling ferocious battle cries at...

I had one group named the Iron Imperators (commanders in ancient rome) consisting of gun wielding rogue/dread commando, Fighter/Exotic Weapon Master, and me the Marshal/Legendary Leader along with a never ending succession of part time player sword fodder. No casters allowed! We'd seriously...

Wow, you guys covered some ground while I was schoolin'. Rogueattorney-Liking Red Fang's stuff alot, and that video was freakin' hilarious. I'll have to locate their stuff online cause I already splashed out my monthly album budget today...:.-( Nice list of power metal there starman, will take...

I think these "expectations" are a large part why mine and many other groups wound up on the critical side the fence for TOEE, it was obviously a module for a particular playstyle and very much a product of it's era, and it's gameplay paradigms just don't mesh with certain groups. Having run it...

Set, I must say that your orichalum currency is a very interesting idea, and I'll probably phase out the 100gp platinum for it (send plat back to 10gp a piece). In my own games I have ruled that direct expenditure of wealth is equivalent to a certain amount of experience (ale and whores) or...

Holy thread explosion batman! Where'd I leave off? Oh yah Terra Dave- I'm an occasional listener to Metallica myself, not because they don't have mad skills but because I do not agree with their drm policy and megadeth/slayer scratches my thrash itch just a bit better than they do. El Mahdi- I...

I really enjoyed the module by skirmisher press, tests of skill. In addition to having a variety of tasty overland encounters and smaller scale dungeons the added mechanics which tie into their other product experts 3.5 (which fleshes out the expert npc class and skill system) were really solid...

My favorite creation is the terrifying bearowl, a giant owl with a bears head that would fly in and savage a player character with it's ferocious bite at least once a campaign and always managed to get away somehow. I made it to combat a certain metagamer I know, whose preparations against...

I like to throw in electrum coins every now and again to vex my player's (1/2 GP each and the only thing more reviled than copper pieces) in a nod to real world historical coinage and the history of earlier editions. I also utilize trade bars of valuable metals including adamantium and mithral...

ROFL at ppaladin post! I was hoping someone would post some of the Jack Black when I named the thread, because I know not how to post vids :blush:. Asmor- Just like you state in your post my cursorary first listen to 3 inches of blood finds them really freakin' solid. peraion- My buddy has...

Best I ever got for RPG action was 18 hours strait, started with 9 players and ended with 3 by the end of the dungeon and the dragon (attrition by death or work, let 2 dead players help me run monsters). Sleep deprivation and alignment are more interrelated than I think the rules support, all of...

Good suggestions there, Jester and Paladin. I'm especially liking Blind Guardian and Hammerfall from both your lists, I'll have to stock some discs from both of them for my next session get a little more balance in my sub-genres.

I have to agree with several others assessments of the Temple of Elemental Evil, I feel that this is one megamodule that is severely overrated (speaking from experience, lost 4 of my characters in the original, never finished the 3e Monte Cook remake after losing 3 more, and lost countless...

Starman, Now thats a thread! Sorry to anyone if this topic has been done to death already I seem to have forgotten the power of search...

Ooh, I like me some Coheed & Cambria as well, was a favorite of my late afgani friend (though I like most any music with narrative lyrics). Pantera I haven't got much of, but what I do have is well loved. Dragonforce I find to be little overwhelming for RPGing but just right for solo listening...

Alrighty, when I'm playing D&D with my musician group the only allowable sound is the sonic warfare known as metal (in other groups with female members and their more refined tastes I usually put on the internet radio station Radio Rivendell which is freakin' sweet for fantasy jams). I was...

Put another one in for tomb of horrors. I lost 8 of my thief characters in that death pit. When finally we reached the demi-lich I lost it and used the burning module to light my first joint. Gary Gygax was an unprecedented gaming visionary but his fantasy ideal was a few shades more brutal than...
