One thing to keep in mind is that people had very differrent ideas about Law and Justice before the modern era. I'm sure someone else around here can give you lots of examples, but one that always sticks out in my mind is the idea of Judicial Combat. There was even one case of a murdered man's...

Well, It wouldn't be hearsay- it be more like being a witness. A witness through magical perceptions who could lie like any witness could, but still a witness. Zone of Truth would probably be a lot more useful, but some people would always make their saves...

I can see an ecclisiastic court relying on a lot of divinations, b/c of course clerics trust their fellow clerics. Or if a city was controlled by a church, same thing. For a secular church, I'd think there's be less divination. It depends on people's attitudes toward magic in your campaign...

Well, your typical PCs are wandering adventurers w/little to no connection to the town they're in (at least at first). If you're capable of killing 90% of the population (at once) and you have millions of dollars of stuff in your backpack, of course you're going to be a little sociopathic. I...

Who knows? Maybe there's tons of Luke Perry fans out there, just waiting for something like this. Now if they were releasing a RPG of the Tribe I'd buy it in a second. Easily the best horrible-plague-wipes-out-all-adults-on-Earth TV shows ever.

You should check out the trailer for Enduring Love. I'm scared of baloons now. http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0375735/trailers

Wow. "pseudosurgical" is my new favorite word.

He's an alchemist, right? You should say that the master was so intent on his work that he simply refused to die. He couldn't allow his experiment to go unfinished. His phylactery could instead be his pelican(furnace) where he's boiling his chemicals. He has to go out to get components to...

You should try Eberron. It just came out, and it's always good to get in on something on the ground floor instead of looking around for old material that might be out of print/hard to find. There will lots of new sourcebooks and adventures released in the next couple years. It's got some...

I just discovered a new one today, that really creeped me out. Girls photo-shopped into armor-wearing elves. :eek:

Monarch butterflies. :( Nightmare inducing. There's a place in the Yucatan where they gather so thickly it's like a foot-deep carpet of orange wings. Ugh.

:) awesome. good luck w/the next one.

Have you ever looked at Fading Suns? I think there's a d20 version of it out now. It's kinda' cool- sorta' like "Dune Lite." It has a strong mideval/european/catholic flavor to it though. It might give you some ideas, at least.

It would have a very differrent feel, that's for sure. Spells would be tough...

That's two keyboards ruined now, Takyris. :\ Although this time it was just me spitting out my coffee. :)

????:uhoh:??? Wierd.

They were all in the same place; the dragons just ignored the low-level PCs as a waste of time, and the high level PCs likewise ignore mere goblins. ;)

Cool. --- Really, since alignment is all based on role-playing I've never seen any reason to chart it. If you start playing your character evil, then you change his alignment to evil. The only time it matters is for classes w/alignment restrictions, and then it's all the DM's call anyway...

Excellent points. I think this may be the problem here. I think you have a very vivid picture of what things are like in your game and how they will unfold, and the players don't. You're either going to have do more explaining or give them a little leeway. Or keep TPKing them. I don't...
