Just a few questions: How close are you to the Guys? In relation to Spud? Why do they feel the need to not tell Spud? What have you all done to communicate with Spud and deal with his gaming behaviors? All I can say is that on one hand, you sound like you really want to play in this game...

My Top 3 are Not What They Seem, Golems, and Magical Disasters. I did some conversions of the peltast and palimpsest a while ago. I can post them somewhere if they be any help in developing some final conversions.

Are you talking about the one from Perpetrated Press? The one with techno-magical weapons rules? I've got its sister book, Factory, that has rules for magical computers and robots. Neat stuff. I haven't got Armory itself though, so I can't tell you much about it.

I ran an adventure that involves a Lathander vs. Moander conflict, in where Moander, before he died, seized a Lathander planar holy site, a heavenly garden, and sowed it with his foul seeds, helping to corrupt it into a overgrown jungle with giant, bloated fruit and festering with decay. Flies...

What settings are you playing in or like to play? What are your games typically like?

In this day and age, the cookie-cutter vanilla fantasy world could BE your gimmick. Take a lot of the normal D&D assumptions and try to flesh-out reasons for why they exist. For example: long ago there was some Glorious Golden Age that was laid low by violent conflicts due to cultural...

Although not a slave race persay, the githyanki make extensive use of domesticated spectrall hounds which they use for tracking across the astral plane. I'd think with the extensie presence of arcane magic (and perhaps psionics) in Githyanki military and society there would be extensive use of...

FYI, you can also find other writeups of Charon, Marraenoloths, and hydroloths in Necromancer Games' Tome of Horrors or EN World's online Creature Catalog under the headings of Daemon as Charon, Charonadaemon, and Hydrodaemon respectively. These were the original names, I believe, before second...

Hmm... IIRC, in Mystara, chokers used be goblins but degenerate, I think because they were eating other goblins. Perhaps you might adopt a similar idea for your world. The chokers might descend from the more vile goblins of the mercenary tribe that refused to adopt to a self-sufficient...

I think I'll adopt a wait-and-see attitude on this one. It might be good; it might be bad.

A variant on the "paranoid and not really being hunted" schtik- somebody is trying "gaslight" the PC- that is, to drive him insane and alienate the character from his/her friends.

This is a good idea. Perhaps the cultist inspires visions through hallucinogenic drugs or fungus, perhaps some sort of twisted medieval equivalent of Timothy Leary. Perhaps it is some druid of an elder evil plant god. The prophet could secretly be infecting the peasants' grain supply with...

What about huge demonic mountain goats? Or some sort of fiendish ivy, perhaps razorvine? Flying foes would make the trip twice as difficult. As for safe falls, how about landing in some giant demon's food, like jelly or soup. Perhaps the demon "harvests" food by leaving out various pots and...

Another thing that's going on in Carceri, as in most lower planes, is the eternal Blood War. Surviving any major scurmishes could be a harrowing encounter. Another idea is that the characters could take part in some sort of War Crimes trial, administered by the 'loths. The PCs could be take the...

You mentioned the Titans... Aren't they imprisoned on Carceri. On a thread a while back a person sugguested an adventure idea of stealing Crono's eyebrows... they are purported to allow nonlinear sight. I think it developed into its own thread. Another idea is that once they break out of the...

Wasn't there a race of artic or northern orcs in FR? Yeti or evil quaggoths might work instead. If you're looking to use a race native to the area, the daemonfey/feyr'ri (demon-blooded descendants of a decadent sun elf noble house) might work. They are intelligent and might have a bone to pick...

Is the characters or the players themselves that hate the authorities? What is the nature of their relations and disdain for the magical authorties? Does their disdain relate to the player's own personalities? One thing to look at might be how they have interacted with the Bureau. How has it...

These sound like really great campaign ideas. #3 sounds like the Darksun Character tree method, which allowed a player to have a tree of various characters that a he/she could switch to over the course of the campaign. The characters were all united in their pasts though by some commonly...

He'll get somewhat of a boost in being immune to gaze and other sight-based attacks. IIRC, there was some feat in some book that gave a character very limited blindsight (5' I think). You might also go with the "blind mystic" archetype and allow the character to have some divination psionic...

Green Ronin's Book of Fiends has a unique devil called Jalie Squarefoot ("the Lichfiend) that has achieved lichdom. Libre Mortis has stats for making liches of evil outsiders. Vecna is a god-lich. There's also a dream lich in Occult Lore, which turns a humanoid creature into a dream-haunting...
