R.I.P. Dungeon and Dragon You will be remembered...

I have never actually used the gestalt rules before, but I am interested in using gestalt characters to represent a group of inately more powerful/versitile beings in the campaign I am preparing. So, I am looking for some advice for mixing gestalts with standard characters. What (if any)...

Regarding Guts/Gatsu from Berserk. While the character may be as powerful as a hero-deity, he is actually still just a man. A man with unbeleavable strength and skill, but no real supernatural abilities. It is the fact that he is only a man, who manages to time-and-again defeat and even kill...

Is this Band of the Hawk Gatsu, or the Black Swordsman? I think that the Black Swordsman Gatsu has to be epic level. I can see the members of the God Hand being immortals, but there isn't any way that Gatsu should be anything other than super, bad-arse mortal. That said, if Gatsu somehow...

I personally like the higher and lower souls concept. In my opinion, only undead beings like liches would have both souls bound to them. I see most undead (even some "free-willed" undead) being ruled by the passions and hungers of the lower soul. These beings would be without the higher...

Also, to be a NINJA, one has to be a mammal.

I nominate the name "flumph"

The wizards will be impossible to beat in their fortress, and as long as they determine (and control) the battlefield. The only stratagy that makes sense to me is to draw the wizards out and into an ambush. I think that Glen Cook's Black Company series did a good job of demonstaiting what...

Here would be my 1980's - 90's League: Carrie White (Carrie) - I see her as an emotional burnout. Carrie is someone that has never reconciled the traumatic events that awakened her psychokinesis. Hannibal Lector (The Silence of the Lambs) - Is the quintessential wolf-in-sheep's-clothing. He...

David Kessler (An American Werewolf in London) as an iconic werewolf the "protagonist" (or the Metal Fetishist) from Tetsuo: the Iron Man could make a very bizarre contemporary cyborg type

Orochi (Japanese myth) Apep (Egyptian myth) Jörmungandr (Norse myth) the Minotaur (Greek myth) Gugalana/Bull of Heaven (Sumerian myth) Nandhi (Hindu myth) Akupara/A'Tuin (Hindu myth/Diskworld) Leviathan (Judeo-Christian myth) Kerberos/Cerberus (Greek myth) Chimaera (Greek myth)...

I guess I will through out a few ideas. How about... Ekhis/Echidna (to go with Typhon) Tiamat (the proper Sumerian one) Fenrir the immortal Gorgons (Euryale and Stheno) Garuda (of Hindu/Buddhist myth)

Once upon a time Green Ronin was going to release a new version of Dragon Fist as an OGL game, but it seems to have vapor-wared itself away. Am I wrong about this? It is something that I was definitely looking forward to, I even had it pre-ordered, but the forum about it on the Green Ronin...

Upper_Krust, I have followed your threads for years because I share a lot of the same thoughts on the Epic and Godly matters. I have just recently bought a copy of the Immortals Handbook: Epic Bestiary (Volume one), and I was pleasantly not surprised by your work. It actually was what you had...

I once started a campaign. The PC's were 1st level and they all wanted to start with an heirloom magical item. So I handed out things like a silver skull-cap shaped like a lettuce leaf with a incandescent light bulb on top (for one of our players, who was playing a character with mental...

some more questions - How long does it take to make/cast a Soul Meld? - Do you gain bonus Incarnum do to high primary stat (like a regular caster and spells per day)? - Is the Totemist balanced with its poor BAB progression (I figured that WOTC would have one core class with the Intermediate...

Can someone please break down how the "Magic of Incarnum" works? I just can't seem to grasp it. I usually don't have problems with new game mechanics, but this must have hit a part of my brain that doesn't function correctly. I will start with a few direct questions, but feel free to try and...

My absolute favoritist Hollandaise Oct 31 is the date that my wife and I got married. Oddly enough, it being a holiday was not really a consideration in our decision to getting married on Halloween. Our families were not thrilled with each other (and we were at odds with all of them at...
