No, no, no... I think you're thinking about it too hard. I agree that D&D can work just fine for a horror game. I also think it can not work. It depends entirely on the players and who's running the game. What I'm saying is I believe that the system you decide on should be inconsequential...

Well, this seems like it should go into plots and places perhaps, but anyway... The Cliches: Ancestral Weapon Possessed by a spirit or something. Given to her by a dying companion/stranger. Killed someone for it. Fell out of the sky. Non-Cliches: Bought it at the store. Pooped out by a...

"Tavern Brawl" by velinov “This is the place!” The boy said to his enormous client. The half-orc growled as he appraised the front of the establishment. The tavern was typical of its kind, a filthy, barely-lit dive full of like-minded scumbags looking to make a handful of coin any way they...

"Orc" by Pierrick It was a hot summer afternoon in Northmand and Lieutenant Ulrik was very unhappy. Yesterday he had been told he was denied his annual pay raise, the paperwork from the Barge Incident was never-ending and now there was an unwashed junkie lying on the ground in his stifling...

I was tired, alright? It was 2 am when we started that fight. I want a rematch damn it! I will have my revenge you bastards. ______________/______________

Damn right. Anyone who doesn't think that's completely stupid is probably someone who plays a fey warlock.

You'd THINK so, but no. No one died. Iron Sky forgot to mention the cleric having a zone up that healed each party member 18 hit points at the end of their turn. Because of the mark from the paladin the Belor definitely focused fire on him but, combined with the cleric's healing and the Belor...

We're playing through this adventure right now. Although I'm having fun, it doesn't seem particularly memorable. This adventure seems to be a straightforward series of combat encounters and it might just be our DM but there doesn't seem to be much of a hook other than "there's trolls, go kill...

Wow! A lot of people liked Ming for some reason. I really wonder what it was about her.

Huh, I think our DM just started this module for the group I'm playing in. I guess I shouldn't read this thread any more!

I don't know... insubstantial doesn't seem like that much of an annoyance. All it really means is that the players do half damage, same as the creature having double hit points. Now I don't know what level this took place at but if you want to be really annoying have the wraiths float over the...

Agreed.

20 - Always.

I voted Wizard. I actually haven't had a chance to play one myself. In the two games I'm involved in I'm DMing one and playing a Fighter in the other. I had one player play a Wizard in a short previous game and opted for a Warlock in the next. We have a wizard in the game I'm playing but she...

For teleporting I have two big rules. First, after you teleport you're in whatever condition you were in before you teleported. Unless that's being grabbed by a creature. Obviously if you get away the grabbed condition ends. If you are prone when you teleport you are still prone where you...

Ya think I'm some kinda amateur?? Yea I remembered. Didn't help the poor hydra much. That paladin had him pretty well locked down. I'm willing to bet the group could've fought two of the things.

For the life of me I can't see how lurkers are suppose to be effective most of the time. They seem slightly higher than minions on the totem pole.

I will say my favorite thing about Exalted is the setting. I don't think there is another pre-generated gaming setting out there that I like more. It's unique "Journey to the West"-style eastern influences and emphasis on flavor and coolness just mesh well with me and I never have problems...

No they just had the cart ITSELF, which they killed a bag-lady/beggar person for. And on reflection they definitely left it behind. Also I forgot they murdered a town guard as they fled. So that's four people. The bag-lady, two inn bouncers and the guard. They're deep in it.

Man this makes me want to run this game more and more. Does anyone have any suggestions on how to handle item economy and player loot? The core book is the only thing I have and it mentions really only vaguely on how to give monetary rewards to the players. I could see selling weapons and...
