    Of Vile Darkness

    Roach kneels down by the defaced child, blood encrusted fingers reaching out to stroke the boys hair as he murmurs softly, his voice a ghost of a whisper, "Poor child...no one to care for and watch over you. So cold, so frightened. Trembling in your sleep." Jak does tremble in his sleep...

    Scifi rpgs

    Blue Planet is set on Poseidon, a planet in a galaxy far, far away. Essentially, scientists discovered a stable wormhole out past Pluto. On the other side of the Wormhole is Poseidon, a planet many times the size of Earth. Poseidon has about the same amount of Landmass as Earth, but since the...

    Scifi rpgs

    Blue Planet by Fantasy Flight Games- Hard science fiction, detailed alient world, non D20, easy to learn, but lethal mechanics. It's not the least bit space opera. Lost Colony and Hell on Earth - Futuristic Deadlands. Campy scifi with a healthy dose of horror mixed in. Any one of many Gurps...

    What magic items are good for a bard?

    I, too, reccomend the Lyre of Building. It's adventuring applications are incredible. Wary of that rickety rope bridge? Construct a nice sturdy new bridge via the lyre. Need to slow down an advancing army? Near instant fortifications. You can reroute rivers, seal or unseal tombs, build a cozy...

    I've Whetted My Dice With Blood

    I'd worry about the situation a little, although it'll work out with time. It's possible that his play style just doesn't mesh well with the rest of the group. Look at his campaign, is it high octane action with challenging encounters and vicious fights? Does he seem to value noncombat...

    What is the dumbest way you've seen a paladin lose his paladinhood?

    It wasn't a Paladin but the best loss of class abilities I ever saw was in a 2nd edition game. Everything players said at the table was assumed to be in character unless we specifically stated it was OOC before the fact. Our Priestess of Mystra had been leading us through all these /horribly/...

    Campaign quotes

    2nd Edition D&D - We're protecting a merchant who's being hunted by an assassin who keeps leaving dangerous creatures in his house. We here a sharp scream from a back bedroom and rush there only to kill the cocatrice that had already turned the maid to Stone. Being a low level party we lacked...

    Reviews contest for FCTF-Modern

    I'm certain someone will review it shortly and probably do far more justice to the product than I did. Although I did make the front page. Woot!

    AU Unfettered vs. AEG Swashbuckler -- compare and contrast please!

    I own both books and I have to say that both have thier place. The AEG Swashbuckler is just fine in Theah. Many of the SA feats areconsiderably more powerful than stock D&D or AU feats. The Swashbuckler really needs those feats to thrive, especially the unarmored AC feats, which are incredibly...

    State of the RPG Industry

    Really? I'm a little surprised that you're singling out the Player's Guide series as a brilliant example of supplement design. I gave my copies of the fighter and arcane guides away. Scarred Lands has excellent fluff. I /really/ like the setting and all it's grim and gritty implications. I...

    [OOC] Of Vile Darkness - Full

    No worries, that was much the way I had pictured it. No muss, no fuss, just grab some kid and bite his nose off. The more matter of fact it was the more disturbinng it'd be for all involved. I actually picture him chewing on it like a bit of jerky as he walks along thinking to himself. Hmm...

    [OOC] Of Vile Darkness - Full

    *chuckles* I'm a collector, so the hobby definately has some vile qualities, I must admit. I recieved a Bruce Banner (Very Rare Heroclix that consistently pulls in 80-100 bucks on Ebay) a few months ago as a gift for all my judging and found myself huddled in a corner murmuring something about...

    [OOC] Of Vile Darkness - Full

    Just a note. I'll be out of town all weekend and probably won't be able to post again until Monday. My apologies for any delay this causes. Going down to Wizard World Texas this weekend. Going to be judging Heroclix all weekend. Should be entertaining, if not vile.

    Of Vile Darkness

    Roach, Human Male Cancer Mage You cannot allow this insult to stand. You paid the clergy. They know these alleys are yours. The voice is incessant, buzzing angrily in Roach's head like a cloud of flies. The alms were not taxes. They were to provide food. I protect them, but don't feed them...

    To Mystically-Modernize Spycraft?

    I concede that the game's feel depends heavily on the GM. I've just always viewed the Shadowrun setting as very cinematic. Until 3rd Ed it was almost impossible to die from a frag grenade. Speed Samurai fire at least 6 shots per turn, Trolls chop through tanks with thier axes, and mages level...

    Holy, Vile, Divine etc. damage to objects

    GM's call. I generally don't worry about energy effects on objects, but if I had to make a call on aligned energy damage, I'd say that the damage only affects items that are of an opposing alignment. For example, Holy Smite versus and evil sword might have an effect, but would leave a standard...

'sides, ain't used to sleepin' around so many folks, 'specially new folks. Get's me fidgity. Not that I 'spect y'all will hurt me, just ain't used to it, is all."...
