    Mega-Adventure Prologue--The Council and the Fellowship

    After the meeting adjourns, Nurlan seeks out the Thalasks. "Greetings again, Sir Baron and Miss Thalask. I'm glad Hendrallia has decided to join our effort. As I said before, I don't know anything about this lichwyrm, or how serious its threat, but it is ominous enough to be worth at least some...

    OoTS 522

    Personally, my favourite line was "Why did I prepare so many spellsthat require attack rolls?" Tsukiko, it seems, has a very short memory.

    Mega-Adventure Prologue--The Council and the Fellowship

    Nurlan nods. "I'm sure he did much better justice to Hendrallia when he was younger. But he is the delegate of your realm, qualified or not, and so we need to get him to listen to reason. Anyway, there are a couple other people I want to talk to before we resume. It's good to meet you; I'm sure...

    Mega-Adventure Prologue--The Council and the Fellowship

    Sir Nurlan, to Baron Thalask's granddaughter "So I figured. I'm hoping he'll at least listen to similar warnings from someone else. The Academy of the Chromatic Order is not known for being supportive of halfbreeds, and I think anyone who has achieved such a position in its ranks as Rayne...

    Mega-Adventure Prologue--The Council and the Fellowship

    Sir Nurlan, to Baron Thalask "I see. You are right; let us not take the word of Rayne Liore for anything. But my life, while short, has still exposed me to a hyponchondriac who was fatally ill, and to a paranoid who was actually the target of a conspiracy. Perhaps there is also a pathological...

    Mega-Adventure Prologue--The Council and the Fellowship

    Sir Nurlan, to Baron Thalask Nurlan barely suppresses a chuckle at the Baron's misinterpretation of his diction. "No, not my mistress. I only just met her. I refer to her position, as one of the housemistresses of this prestigious Academy that is hosting us. But anyway, I didn't want to ask...

    Mega-Adventure Prologue--The Council and the Fellowship

    At Rinaldo's advice, Nurlan ambles over toward Baron Thalask's seat and introduces himself. "Greetings, Baron Thalask. May I introduce myself? I am Sir Nurlan, a knight of Monemvassia, although I am here as a friend and companion of Rinaldo of Orussus. Before now I had heard only vague warnings...

    Mega-Adventure Prologue--The Council and the Fellowship

    Sir Nurlan, human bard, knight of Monemvassia "I'd be glad to help any way I can. Say, where do you think Rydick Xanthar stands on this? I've heard he's very competent in matters political. If he supports you, he'd probably be a particularly valuable ally. But you must know him fairly well."

See http://www.d20srd.org/srd/variant/classes/specialistWizardVariants.htm for the roster. (Oops, I seem to have some problem with reading comprehension...

He is also flattered that Rinaldo chooses him to sit...

    "Alternate" half orc backstories.

    One possibility for half-races that I think is underused in D&D is that of a metis society. Several generations ago circumstances brought together populations of two different races; the result is that a single tribe was formed in which their gene pools mixed. Members of that tribe therefore...

    The Proper Use of Nudity in FRPG Art

    No. I'm suggesting that, if he's granting that the existence of naked depictions of his own sex would have had a repellent effect on him, it's fair to assume that there are some other people on whom it could have a similar effect.

    Well, let's see... two sentences down the same post you write If that's true, then the artwork does have some effect.

    "in 1st Edition...every DM...assumed that Corellon Larethian put out Gruumsh's eye"?

    Yeah, it jumped out at me too. Back in the day when I was playing 1/e, I had never even heard of either Gruumsh or Corellon Larethian.

    Mega-Adventure Prelude--Tenebrynn's Revel

    "Then your path and mine may not have intersected. I am rather new to the city; I first went there during the goblin troubles of last year. But do you know the deserted amphitheatre outside the city walls, two miles to the west? It now belongs to me, I have revived it as a place for music and...
