I've never run a D&D evil game, but I have run an In Nomine evil game. It was boatloads of fun so long as you didn't take it seriously. And it was easy to set up. I said 'You are demons, you have a movie camera, go to Earth and entertain your masters'. And they did. Oh, how they did. Evil...

'Other' - my work is my home. Benefit of being an international freelancer - I don't need to go beyond the kitchen. :cool:

This is indeed a complicated issue. Some thoughts: Slaadi are tilted towards evil; their race seems to progress that way (the Death Slaad is supposed to be a corruption, but there's no equivalent good corruption version). Blame it on some sneaky 'loths if you will. Slaadi are embodiments of...

Generally good. Not as much generic Elmore cheesecake as there could have been, no Brom or diTerlizzi, but otherwise I can't complain. I'll even forgive the occasional uninspired picture that could belong in other editions.

And for trivia fans: Most of Stormwatch got eaten by aliens. You know, Aliens aliens, xenomorphs, facehuggers, acid blood and all. It happened in a WildCATS miniseries, largely off-camera. Interesting, no?

Well, it's actually one of the smarter shows around (and the CCG is much more original than others - anyone watch Duel Masters, in which there are five colours of mana ('light, dark, fire, water, and nature')?), as you can watch the plays and go 'oh yeah, that'd work'. Sure, the players are...

Anselm Audley's Aquasilva Trilogy features some kinds of tech (although not much you'd recognise) and some kinds of magic, and is quite atypical as a fantasy epic. Philip Pullman's His Dark Materials trilogy is all about the supernature while simultaneously being full of science. I just have to...

An excellent pitch, so you're getting an email from me...

There will typically be a stock set of races in a region. These are the 'recommended' races. However, there are exceptions (and I want exceptions - they're interesting). My Dungeon Damage game had four tiers of common races: Common: Human. We had two of these. Not as common: Elf, Dwarf. We had...

Frankly? There are weirder creatures in the Monster Manual. One of the guys in that picture looks like a minature owlbear, and there's nothing to rival illithids and certain other aberrants. I favour cosmetics as a solution to your problems. Frex, take a zombie. Change its type to Aberration so...

Autumn Sky (elven druid): "To delight in nature's bounty... oh, the pretty colours... to feel the sky coursing through your fingers... and to bear your enemies. The kind of bear with claws." Vasili Harold Rebenok (character in a GURPS In Nomine game, mortal detective, born in Soviet Russia, now...

Ah, I remember that. The issues I remember it from are presumably still mouldering in a public library in another city, where I read them in my youth, but I remember. There were people talking about destroying the world and keeping the gods as slaves in their basement. There were people talking...

OK, I'm pretty new to tablets myself, but I've looked around and may be able to offer some insight. Bigger is normally better. But there is such a thing as too big. If you're the kind of person who draws from the wrist, rather than with the full arm, you don't want something too huge. I'm using...

Ehh, time to beat a dying horse. I trust you'll indulge me. Cyclops: from the Greek Kuklos (round) + Ops (eye). Griffon: from the Greek Grups, OED unclear on meaning (if it's changed at all). Probably means vulture, if I'm reading between the right lines. Heracles/Hercules: 'Glorious Gift'...

I've got a few ideas for antagonistic elves... One Bad Penny In my Dungeon Damage world, the elves took the place of northern Europeans. And there are no shortage of evil folks from that region - just think like humans. An NPC I never really got to use was Bloody Johan, an elven mercenary...

But the mate you don't want isn't the perfect one, and thus misses the point of the thread... feel free to design a damaged, half-mad custom model who suits your needs and is happy with your meagre attentions, if you want. :confused: ;) (Hey, this whole thing is kinda creepy at its core...

Hm. I can lay claim to two monsters in Creature Collection III as my sole current writing credits. I've got logo design credits for the currently-in-release Unlikely Heroes book/class PDFs from Plot Device, and that's something I could easily do more of. Most of my credits, however, are for...

I voted for everything but the good book. Because the sorts of games I've played in don't quite make 'good book' for me. They'd make good movies (with the aircraft crashing into things, exploding segways, and the hot half-orc man-love oh sweet lord my eyes), but a book like that isn't my...

I think I was born with a couple of ranks of the Voice advantage from GURPS. (I had to give the trophy back for the next year's competition, but I've still got the certificates somewhere.) So when an accent is needed, even if I can't do it justice, I'll delude myself into thinking I can. Frex...

Fine picture, very fine. However, I must admit to flaws in my geekdom. One: I had no way of knowing what the map was. Two: I still can't identify the race of the woman in the bottom-right. To recoup that, I question a background detail: How is the beholder TKing its mug to its mouth with its...
