Well, ya gotta know the circumstances, man. :) The demon pact was made in an attempt to salvage an otherwise doomed character. However, the player and I talked about the situation, and we turned it into a great "path to redemption" story arc. In fact, that very same character committed...

During a round-robin DM game at GenCon, I got to wrap up the session with a big battle. Basically, I decided to have the Lord of Corruption possess the body of a newborn (ie, 5 seconds out of the womb) baby. He had a black serpent for an umbilical cord, coal-black eyes, telekinesis, and an...

Bwah ha ha! Something very much like this happened in the RttToEE campaign I ran. I had several Rat Bastard moments with seemingly friendly NPC's. The players all decided that they should kill anyone with a name. "The bartender," "The blacksmith," and "The tailor" were all ok. But Tymerian...

Ugh. Son of the Mask. Spider

Back when I played werewolf/mage/wraith/changeling/vampire, pretty much the entire WoD was set up with the "fighting against all hope" theme. Don't know if it's still that way, but the setting was perfect for tragic heroes. Spider

Excellent, then definately sign us both up! Now I'm <i>really</i> excited about GenCon. :D Spider

I would love to join PC's games on Friday and Saturday! Unfortunately, I'm in the same boat as Piel; we're manning the ENWorld booth on Friday during that time. But if anyone else wants to swap, I'm totally game. I'll also vote for doing the RR game on Sunday. Spider

This reminds me of one of my favorite Net games. Basically, you take an English phrase, translate it to some random language, then back again. Repeat until it stops changing or becomes funny. For example: "Kiss my grits" becomes "embrace my granulations" "what you talking about willis"...

I've got the artist's statement from the gallery, and it's a little...erm...nutty. I'll scan it and post it here soon. I was pretty amazed to discover that she's only 23! That's some amazing talent. By the by, I wasn't expecting this to turn into a "OOH, BOOBIES!" thread. *sigh* I guess I...

As a kid, I LOVED PB and mustard sandwiches. I've had them as an adult, and they're somehow not as appealing as they used to be... Spider

I'm trying to think of gives D&D that distinct flavor. I think a big part of it is the heroism. CoC and WoD are designed to show the PC's just how naive it is to think that the world can become a better place. In those games, the best you can hope for is to forestall the destruction of all...

I don't feel too comfortable posting indoor shots. I considered it at first, but I know that if I were the artist, I wouldn't want people posting images of my work on the net without my permission. That said, the fact that it's prominently displayed in a public space makes me feel ok taking...

I give my players a good idea of what a game will be like before we start generating characters. I ask that all the PC's know one another well before the adventure starts. If someone wants to play something that's very unusual, would be hard to play in the campaign, or would be disruptive to...

No worries--I checked with the mods before posting. I wasn't sure how Eric's Grandma felt about such art, either. :) Spider

It's life-sized. I haven't been able to find a website for the gallery--which, incidentally, is Sky People Gallery/Dirt in downtown Asheville. I wask past it every day on my way to work, so I'll see if I can pick up a card and provide more info about the art/gallery/artist. Spider

I saw this piece is a windows downtown the other day, and it's amazing. I'm sure the artist didn't intend it to have anything to do with D&D, but it sure looks like a female drider to me!. Anyways, I just had to share. Spider
