Greybeards & Grognards Installment One: Nomenclature & Manifesto ByJustiN Orion Neal Taylor This is my blog on geek culture, particularly RPGs. I decided on the title Greybeards & Grognards because many of the more well-known RPGs and their rule books have alliterative titles, like Dungeons &...

Grandfather of Assassins Gary, I don't know what the likelihood of a response is, but I am curious about a matter concerning world design and thought a consult with one of the masters would be wise. How badass should a world's Grandfather of Assassins be? Should they be tough but beatable...

I just want to say thanks. People who take the time to compile these indexes often go unapreciated, but without you, the forums would be a ot harder to navigate. Thanks.

Well this is for an older version of D&D. The blood draining ability sounds good, but maybe a pit too good for a first level PC. Consider it to be about special ability C or D.

Bump to mention further refinement of the table.

My younger brother's D&D PC had a pet ferret. It felt wrong to have it frozen at its starting stats, so I started working it out as a class (a la the old elf, dwarf, and halfing classes).

My first major refinement was to start aligning the class abilities table (post #3) better. Keep in mind that the only way to do it on a message board is with the code tag and a lot of careful eyebaling.

Hello Mr. Gygax, I think I posted a question earlier about your feelings on your name being used as an adjective and one regarding a ferret, but I'm having trouble tracking down the thread in question. That's an irrelevant side issue, but I believe in making sure that people remember me...

One reason I don't buy Dragon as often as I used to: $6.99 is a bit more than $4.99 Also, there used to be a Media Play within pretty close distance of my dad's apartment that carried Dragon. It closed about a year or two ago. Since then a new giant book store, second location of a local...

Is this one eligible? The Ferret

A shameless bump. I intend to resume work on this.

I am named for the Khyron of Robotech, back when I was a teen I was into a villains are cool phase, so I admired Khyron the Backstabber from the Robotech novels I was reading. Then I appended the number 1144 for easy memorability and in case there was already a Khyron on that particular forum...

I wanna join up. I've been gaming for over half my life (15 of my 23 years), and actually DMing for most of that time.

This still isn't looking good. I'll work on it more later.

Let me make a two things clear at the start: My first 3e character was a barbarian and I have a certain fondness for the class, so I bought this mostly with barbarians in mind. Second, I am not familiar with its competition in this area, such as Mongoose's Quintessential Barbarian or Fantasy...

This table no longer seems necessary, thus I am eliminating it and incorporating the information into the first table.

Here's the start of a class for those who want to play a ferret in basic D&D. Ferret Level Title 1 Ugly Weasel 2 Hairy Thing 3 Bitey Thing 4 Mustelid 5 Biter 6 Smelly Thing 7...

Dear Esteemed Mr. Gygax, inventor of my hobby, and chief deity of my pantheon, How does it feel to be an adjective? see here I bet they got what the term means wrong too. I apologize, if this has been asked before. Any advice on how a ferret might level? I gave my brother's PC a ferret as a...
