    If this is an outpost, Kale had thought while regarding the huge structure, I'd like to see the Capitol. Fine cut walls climbed into the sky on precise angle, it would be the envy of Naserians. And even the tower of Zhatan was the very heart and pride of Huron. An outpost! Where had those...

    Background - The Drakkath, Draconic & Ara Languages In the above update, the wizard mentions the 'Drakkath' language, so to explain for the readers... The Drakkath is both the name of a very large area of wildlands within which several countries are nestled - such nations as Corinthia, Adbar...

    "A war tower..." Mel mouthed quietly, staring across the valley at the tower. It reminded her immediately of the machine-people, these Ironjacks, in that it grew in organic twists and bulges from the stone, but had apparently been added to in mechanical ways, like the man with the clockwork eye...

    World ideas that you think are lame

    I believe the Witchfire Trilogy, the first set of adventures for the IK, takes place in the country of Cygnar. My knowledge of the IK from the other d20 products and their Warmachine line (I haven't read the Witchfire trilogy myself) makes me guess that either you're thinking of something else...

    World ideas that you think are lame

    Smeg is a real word, being a shortened version of a certain other word :p And berk isn't just not made-up slang, it's not even just Cockney slang. It's a standard term over here in England, as are some of the other PS ones. Some are 'cockney' style, and some are of course entirely made up, but...

    Bizarre and strange medical beliefs from past ages and the medieval?

    Ah, I'd forgotten about that one! :D It's called... phrenology, isn't it? Right, I think I'll have physicians using their heal skill to examine the shapes/bumps of peoples heads and thus detect their alignment ;) Or something along those lines, let me think...

    Just a short little post to help set the scene for the first proper SH update to this thread, but don't worry, there'll be more hefty ones to follow over the next week :) The party, now consisting of both Ecurius's band of mercenaries and the Drakkath scholars with their hirelings, headed for...

    Bizarre and strange medical beliefs from past ages and the medieval?

    I'm not saying they didn't. But they also, from time to time, came up with some very, very strange concepts. And those are the things I'm wanting to hear about. (And yes, it is game-related :D I'm attempting to collate medical wierdness to try and put some rules to them if they had actually...

    Bizarre and strange medical beliefs from past ages and the medieval?

    Greets all, I'm looking for misconceptions, ignorance-based opinions and superstitious beliefs about medicine and health from past ages (the medieval preferably, but earlier or later too is fine). I'm talking aboug things like the idea of the four humours (that you were ill because you had too...

    Dice and Dramatics - Guide to role-playing

    Ah, I see now, good reasoning. My historian instincts are screaming at the idea of the Templars having become a secret society (it is genuinely rubbish, originating I think due to family links between a Templar Grand Master and an important family in Freemason traditions, which was then rapidly...

    Would you be willing to play in a campaign setting with none of the core races?

    I'd be willing to give it a go, if it was with a DM who I knew was competent enough to carry it off :)

    To help give an idea of certain important prior invents, I thought I'd post up the recent world events from the Game Notes: World Events: Note that all dates are reckoned from the end of the Dawn War: 1136 Late Autumn - Huronese soldiers defeat large sarsnik horde in Myrmecia. 1136 Winter -...
