Ahhh, if he's on the Enterprise, then I'm guessing he's not in Team 7. Sounds like your cousin might be seeing action before my buddy. Which, among SEAL's, is a big deal. They all want to go to war. Crazy. :) Gaius

So if I understand you correctly, National Acrobat, you have what essentially boils down to a 10 on 10 fight. Yikes! As a DM, my head would be spinning at the logistics of such high level combatants slugging it out. The question you have to ask yourself is, "Do you want this to be the end...

This is slightly off-topic, but does relate to the above post about the guy who was purporting to be a Navy SEAL. The gist of this is going to be, "I love it when people choke on their own feet." My best friend is a Navy SEAL down in Coronado. I was visiting him one time and he took me to one...

5,000 gold bounty!? Three words; richest.......city.......ever. Here's the solution to your problem. Wait until the city goes bankrupt and/or is in economic ruin. With a bounty like that, it shouldn't take long. Gaius

The title says it all. How often do you find your players taking levels in any one of the numerous prestige classes that are floating around in the d20 world? When I ran the Forgotten Realms, one out of seven players used a prestige class. However, now that we're transistioning to the Scarred...

I don't know why Ichabod would suggest avoiding Cities and Knights. In my estimation, Settlers of Catan is 10 times better with Cities and Knights than without. It adds several new dimensions to the game that I absolutely love. In fact, everyone I play Settlers of Catan with pretty much won't...

Hey rootbeergnome, I was in your exact position about a week and a half ago. Since then, I've purchased a decent number of books for the Scarred Lands setting and have loved every single one. I know the questions that you're asking yourself and while it'd take too much time to answer them all...

Hey, would it be appropriate to suggest another character class? As in, a druid, who I think would be much more fun to play at level 20 than a sorceror. Think of all those high-end powers that druids get. Besides, a druid's spell list is just as good as a sorcerors. So I say that your 20th...

I think that Nobeard has struck upon the perfect curse for you, Kai Lord. It's very similar to what I was thinking, but he beat me to it. Simply put, you are cursed to perform your tale each night to a different person. Thus, you must constantly wander the land, finding people who have not...

I know that these sentiments are generic, but I'll speak them anyway: Who the hell finds a hoax like this to be funny? Pathetic. Glad to hear that John's all right. Gaius

In my opinion, John Wick was the most talented writer in the field of RPG's. There has not been a single thing written by him that did not inspire my imagination or fuel my games. Among my favorite games are two written by him; Legend of the Five Rings and Seventh Sea. And although I do not own...

Player: "F*ck, dude, your dog just took a sh*t on my foot." DM: "Yep, he sure did." Needless to say, that was the end of the game for the night. All focus was lost. It's still brought up to this day, some 9 years later. God, I miss that dog. Gaius

I'm enjoying the responses that this thread has garnered and would like more of the same. So in an attempt to keep this thread aloft, I'll pose another question that has come to mind. A lot of you spoke about the Scarred Lands being a setting of heroes. So tell me about yours. For those of...

Thanks for the replies, gang. I read the Serpent Amorpha and was sold. I think Nightfall put it best, but it bears repeating. The interaction between the gods and their followers is what sells me. In the Serpent Amorpha, you have the interaction between the church of Belsemath and Chardun in...

I've certainly heard enough about them in the past few weeks, but despite my best attempts to learn more, I can't seem to make up my mind. I've read every review on this webpage, plus a good handful of those on RPG.net. I've read through the Scarred Lands story hours and read the glowing...

Nightfall was most likely speaking of Westgate, not Waterdeep. And Westgate is along the Dragon Coast and is the home of the Night Masks. I'd have to agree and say that the Silver Marches would be your best starting place, what with the Harpers being there, it being a region for bards, and...

The irony of Jessica's screen name is as poignant as it is sad. Though she was but a name amongst hundreds and a stranger to me, I still offer my sympathies and condolences for your loss. My thoughts and prayers go out to her friends and family. I'm so terribly sorry. Gaius

Company of the Green Goblet Based out of Tantras and named for the inn whose third floor they occupy, this band of heroes has done battle with the likes of the Zhentarim, the Church of Bane, the Red Wizards of Thay and other villianous types. Their travels have spanned the length and bredth of...

The inclusion of GI Joes characters into my Shadowforce Archer Spycraft campaign has been a success. I've played one session since positing this idea to you and it went off well. I have not let on to my players that I am drawing inspiration for my NPC's from GI Joe, as I didn't want them to...

Falcon would have a place in my Spycraft campaign. Sgt Slaughter would not. :) As soon as I get some time off, I'm going to try and make up some stats for an NPC Joe. I'll post them here or give a link to the Rogue's Gallery. If any of you have got a stat block for a GI Joe character, don't...
