Don't you just hate gloating bad guys. 6 Arms does not make them any better. Particularly when they use those appendages to cast multiples spells at the same time! :eek: Another fine writeup Mr Eccles! Thanks!

I'm up to date again.... And this story hour just keeps getting better. Thanks! Faerie Dragon swarms. :)

Big thumbs up for the ASCII kitten art! Hehe - there was a bit of discussion about what to do with the evil kitten of doom...

Great stuff so far Mr Eccles! Enjoying that writeup immensely. Boy did those visions get disturbing in a hurry - seriously unpleasant stuff... killing all your worshipers = nasty. Although I supose that does kinda go with the evil god territory? The cameos rocked - far too much fun having them...

Seems a lot of his power and immunity comes from being the Chosen of Mystra. Perhaps try and drive a wedge between the two of them. IIRC, they are lovers? If so, that'd be a great target. Perhaps even the old 'hire a floozy to pick him up in his favorite bar'?

Nice update! Think you did the visions justice there! Nice work. :) Definitely feels like this campaign difficulty has moved up a notch - those knight + spellcaster combinations were pretty scary - One of the gits even cast Destruction at Igmut. :eek: Rather worried we're going to run into...

I'm of the opinion that I'll try pretty much anything... figure a DM running stuff they like is much better than a DM running my ideal game and hating every minute. As for campaigns different from "normal", I'm a huge fan of clearly laying them out up front. Solves a load of problems that might...

Glad you've been enjoying it! :) And it's quite a read by now... figure we're going to have to buy Mr Eccles a new keyboard sometime soon?

Magical armour with retractable spikes... now that'd be good! Flick-Plate? :) Recall having a PC in one of my games with Wounding spikes on his armour. Was really unpleasant to large grappling monsters. But always seemed a dangerous thing to wander round with to me."Hello, nice to me... DOH...

There's an english myth about that exact thing: http://www.mysteriousbritain.co.uk/legends/lampton_worm.html Never thought of your point before, but it makes sense that spiked armour ought to do something to tentacular horrors. Or things that eat you.

I've updated Igmut as well. Although the character sheet isn't in front of me, so won't be 100% correct. That ambush was brutal! The cry of triumph was Flynne and myself catching one hapless devil in a cleric + rogue sandwich. Thusly killing the evil out of it. Still, the 4 that ran out...

http://www.enworld.org/attachment.php?attachmentid=30251&stc=1An updated version! Name: Igmut the half caste Race: Half Orc Height: 6'10" Weight: 414 lbs Age: 16 and 2 months OR 6 weeks since being reborn - untimely death due to Demon. Hair: Manky, unwashed black hair. Slightly balding. Eyes...

Past the secret door is a 30 X 40 featureless room. Once all the PCs are in the room, Kobolds with nets ambush them. The kobolds are so well hidden that PCs don't get spot or listen checks to notice them. They are immune to all divination magic - such as detect evil. The nets are covered in...

I was thinking one thing 3rd edition did is unify the rules mechanics - for example there are far less 'except in this circumstance' than I recall from previous editions. Where they exist, they are often selected in the form of feats rather than freely available to all. Kinda linked to that...

On topic - I'd throw another mention for Kingdoms of Kalamar - chunks of it are nicely blank to be filled in as apt. We played it core rules and it suited well... There's a hobgoblin nation that could make for a fun PC base? Always liked Lawful Evil for those types of games. I read a book...

There may be some rambling in this post! :) Looking at it. You want non human adversaries. Some obvious contendors would seem to be: Magic - raw power. Magic - with a brain - demons and so forth. Technology and it's automaton killing machines. Technology and it's hodge podge of genetic freaks...

Players handbook II. A(nother) replacement copy of the Monster Manual. Something seems to eat mine regularly. The old nobility splatbook for Ars Magica. An copy of the old WFRP game. I think City of Brass is being sold at Gencon this year - if I can get a copy and it'll fit in my bag, then...

My GM gives us cards with the items written on. They're great - make it easy to see what's available and also swap things around/sell them. Tend to go with a whoever can use it best policy. Sometimes it bogs down, but fast normally. In my last mini campaign I ran - was shooting for a quick and...

For me what triggers it nowadays tends to be moments of revelation. Where all the disparate bits of a plot click into place and I end up going "Wow! How cool is that?" Got a friend who's really good at running those sort of games. All kinds of character backstories and seemingly random events...
