    Running gags in the campaign

    Several campaigns ago (2e campaign, actually), the party crossed paths several times with a gnome rogue (er, thief) who always introduced himself as "Alnor, with a 'K'". Actually, his name was Alnor Withakay but, well, what looks fine on paper is not always so when spoken aloud. The party...

    Reasons for a paladin to fall . . . with a twist

    DragonTurtle has a good point. The paladin thinks he failed to save an innocent and, consequently, he unconsciously blocks attempts to Detect Evil, Lay on Hands, Cure Disease, casting spells and attracting a mount. However, since he hasn't fallen, the instrinsic abilities (chiefly Divine...

    Does Enworld have a major impact in the D20 market?

    I always consult Enworld before purchasing any d20 product, whether PDF or hardcopy, reading reviews and asking questions. Whether or not I support a product, a product line or a company is highly - but not exclusively - dependent on Enworld scuttlebutt. However, within my gaming group, I'm a...

    My World's Halflings: Please Comment!

    I agree: very interesting and somewhat reminent of the Vistani. Are you considering modifications to halfling racial traits? Ravenloft's Vistani are divided into tribes, each of which grants racial bonuses one or two skills. For instance, the Canjar tribe (which has an affinity for magic)...

    Favorite School of Magic?

    Although my preference varies according from one campaign setting to another, I tend to favour conjuration. "What did you call me?! I think you had better take it up with my friend the celestial dire bear."

    Truely Scarriest Horror Movies Ever?

    The original The Haunting, directed by Robert Wise and starring Julie Harris. The novel upon which it was based, written by Shirley Jackson, was - and still is - equally terrifying.

    The Grudge sucked

    In the original version, the last shot of the movie is of a deserted Tokyo. I felt that scene was the best part of the movie, otherwise I was disappointed. The only redeeming part of the American adaptation was the cat.

    How many soldiers could a kingdom realistically muster?

    England, in 1086, had a population of 2 million (according to an analysis of the Doomsday Book). Europe's population was approximately 38 million. The Black Death of the 1330s and 1340s killed an estimated 25 million people - one-third of the European population. By the 1360s, London's...
