Somewhere right between Frivolous and Whimsical and Fey and Dangerous.

Honestly, what the hell do I care if the game I'm playing is genuinely 'medival' or not? I play the game to have fun, not to stroke off over how authentic to the period I'm being.

May sound like a bit of a kissass move, but: Hong's villain classes. Love 'em. Use 'em. Very nice tool to have.

Stealing PCs alphabetical order idea, and shifting it a bit downward, using L, M, N, and O. Wyrmlord Koth = Wyrmlord Lhaargn (bugbear warlock) Wyrmlord Saarvith = Wyrmlord Mittrek (goblin ranger/dragonshaman) Wyrmlord Ulawai = Wyrmlord Ngath (hobgoblin beguiler) Wyrmlord Kharn = Wyrmlord...

Absolutely. I do, however, try to make it so that different areas of the setting get featured particularly in consecutive campaigns. If Forgotten Realms Game A is mostly taking place up and down the Sword Coast, I'll design Forgotten Realms Game B to take place in, say, the Shining South, or...

The solution to the Iuzian Problem is elegant in its simplicity: Iuz needs to go away. Not die. Not ascend. Not be defeated. He simply needs to disappear, and nobody, not even the highest of his inner circle knows why. The effect is immediate - a fire gets lit under asses all across the...

Unther and Calimshan would be my first two suggestions. Thay might also be an option, but their gladiators tend to be more of the pokemon end of the spectrum - magical beasts and failed experiments battling it out for the amusement of the Red Wizards, etc. Sometimes against slaves or...

Re: Trip, Disarm, etc. Zombies are mindless. Tactics are beyond them. Bearing that in mind, certain actions make sense for zombies to perform, others do not. Zombies should grapple. Classic zombie stuff. They grab you and munch your succulent, living flesh. Zombies should not disarm...

Actually, my current campaign is of a very similar vein. The actual war/invasion/etc hasn't happened yet, and won't for some time to come, but it's in the works. In the end, it's going to boil down to Calimshan wanting to reestablish the Ten-Thousand Year Empire. Calimshan, along with...

By demonstrating that the stated (particular) apprehension isn't encompassing of the material. I don't like B, because it is all a bunch of X. I don't like X. Well, X1, X2, and X3 are actually Y. Therefor, B is not all X. Reductio. 5 yard penalty and loss of down. First off, super racing...

Do me a favour. Kindly explain how anything in, say, the White Raven or Devoted Spirit styles are wire-fu.

They're big on carved statuary, if I recall. And glyphs. They really dig glyphs.

I like specialization. I like it a lot. I find it helps define a particular character's flavor, beyond just being another generic wizard. Plus some of the specialist options are really neat. Conjurer with that short-range teleport Immediate Magic, or an illusionist that can hide in plain...

Arrowhawk Down. Apocalypto From The Sky. The Type [Aquatic] with Steve Zissou. Gone in Ten Rounds. The Posseidon, an adventure for 4-6 characters of levels 3 to 5.

Unfortunately it also is very harmful to the Eye of Vecna, unless you happen to know the proper defense. Nyuk nyuk.

(I like polls) Demigod Uber-Lich. The version of Vecna I've come to like is actually somewhat similar to Dracula from Castlevania II. He's transcended his mortality and his body. Several significant bodyparts are scattered across existance, the most noteworthy being the Hand and Eye. The...

12. The ever-reclusive Sewer Druid. Gnome, kobold, just a short ugly human, race is up to you. Tends to a supprisingly well cultivated garden of subterrainian flora. Lives by scrounging and hasn't been upside in years. 13. A clown outfit? What's that doing floating down here? 14. Rats...

If that's really what you think, then no you did not give the book a fair shake.

The Red Badge of Inspire Courage The Sum of All Fihyrs. Bodak: Harvest Souls of Prime Material for Make Benefit Glorious Plane of Abyss. The Krensharshank Redemption.

Tenser's Transformers. Tindertwig Men. Waterskin Down. The Lathe of Mount Celestia. Sling, Blade.
