    Requiem for a God, who has it?

    Dude... All I was doing was expressing confusion...if that somehow got misconstrued, I'm sorry. I definitely wasn't trying to flame.

    Oh, please...you won't begrudge me a tiny bit of silliness in a Monty Python-themed card? The 16-ton weight was a reference to the sketch--it was meant for flavor, not to actually be used. Anyway, I wouldn't even have used that card in my own campaign unless I was in the mood to do so. Even...

    Are you doing a Graham Chapman take-off, or are you serious? The last few I posted weren't intended for use in a "real" game, unless we were feeling especially silly. "Stop that, stop that this instant. This is far too silly."

    Requiem for a God, who has it?

    I have it, and I like it quite a bit. Here's a very short review: It's rather good. It's an "event book," telling you how to handle a campaign-altering event in an organized and sensible fashion. I especially liked the new rules for handling the byproducts of a god's death, like divine...

    Type O Negative: 56. Everything dies. A minor, but established NPC (DM's choice) suddenly dies. His death affects the PCs, either positively (they're the beneficiaries of his will) or negatively (they're accused of murdering him). 57. Red water, take them away The next glass of red wine you...

    The Tick: 51. ...And then he threw a chimney at us! Choose a large (at the very top of your max press limit) object in the room. You can pick it up and use it as a ranged weapon with a range increment of 10'. Naturally, you suffer no nonproficiency penalty. 52. Little did Chairface know...

    Okay, here's a Conan one (from the REH stories, not the movies): (Edit: two Conan ones) 49. Were I still in death and you fighting for life I would come back from the Abyss-- When you're dead or dying and a close companion is in danger, you can get up, temporarily restored to full hit points...

    I couldn't resist this one... 48. Some call me the gangster of love... Choose one NPC of the opposite sex; your charming speech about the pompitous of love gives you a +4 circumstance bonus to all Charisma-related checks with the NPC. The circumstance bonus increases to +6 if your name...

    A couple of Judas Priest-influenced ones: 46. Screaming for vengeance The last blow dealt against you did little but enrage you further. After taking at least your Con score in damage from a single attack, you get an immediate free attack against your attacker, with a +4 morale bonus to...

    I agree. The Conan ones in particular are best-suited to a big, bad-ass butt-kicking barbarian game. I was considering doing alternates for a couple of them, but I didn't want to dis the author, since the originals were great as-is, just not for me. I'm going to have to flip through some...

    OT: Do you hate Telemarketters as much as I do?

    Well, there's a fundamental difference there. If you call someone, you shouldn't be rude. Period. You called THEM. If someone calls YOU, that absolves you of any responsibility to be polite. Note here that, as I said earlier, I'm still polite. If they're persistent, I hang up on them...
