Nope it was the losers. And that game was played by the aformentioned Aztecs, and the Mayans, and maybe by the Charo people of New Mexico and possibly even the Incans of South America as similar courts have been found in those countries. Anyways any sport you put in gotta use some magical side...

Well, I wasn't exactly a naysayer, but while searching for a b-day* present for me sister* (which of course was fruitless), I saw the book sitting on the shelf in the bookstore and decided to take a look at it. After a few minutes, I decided to pick it up (as I had the cash on me, otherwise I...

I've never run a full out adventure based on songs, but I have gleaned plenty names, place, and ideas from bands, metal bands, Black Sabbath, Iron Maiden, Metallica, and Megadeth. And often times, when I'm writing an adventure, these bands help me out of a block, by giving me some much needed...

You have a village of goblins, but not your ordinary goblins, these goblins are very intelligent and highly magical. But its how they got so intelligent thats so sinister, goblins, known for their high birthrates, are sacrificing sentient creatures before a goblin child is born and each child...

Never finished drawing the map, heh. But my original campaign for the brand spanking rules back when 3ed came out was on it, and my new one is on it, different area, and attitude (and pantheon), but same continent. The first one wasn't that large, about the length of a single coastline, like the...

I usually roll the HD, when I'm designing an adventure or pre-reading an off-the-shelf one. But in random encounts and such, I usually take the MM value.

As a player: When things bog down in planning, I usually do something, DMs tend to love it, while players tend to cringe. (Hey I am an impulsive person in real life, and I rarly play a patient character). I'm also good at tactics and staying on task. As a DM: I do a good job of making the...

I've had 1 orc warrior wipe the floor with a group of 1st level characters, whose only suporting character was a 1st level goblin rogue, who couldn't hit the side of a barn. So yeah, your players may feel a bit overwhelmed, exspecially when they be lying in their graves.

In a group I was with. We had a phaerie (I mean faery, ah however it's spelled) dragon, named Hum Ditty (good name for a dragon bard, I think). It was interesting watching him get in trouble scouting and pulling pranks on every NPC that crossed our way. But the little dragons actual...

I create this really BBEG, an evil samurai, with 2 levels on the PCs, buffed up from his partners a sorcerer and cleric, His initiative is +10 and of course he gets to go first, and I fumble on the first attack (fumble just means loose a round), ok no problem. Samurai again up to bat, and again...

The honor system is cool in all but would be a bit clumsy. I would problably implement a barter system, but rather trading what something is worth monetarily, the bartering would be more like an exchanging of gifts, something that an evil character, well disguised, could take advantage of (could...

I lied in my previous post, and my vote, the was Marduk my 2ed Maul weilding cleric of some war god.

I just can't remember thier name, but I've been playing for 10 years now (though I'm in a lull at this moment), most of that time DMing. Anark Eruel, Dorn Kegsmasher, and Isassy Silvervein. I remember the other characters, 3 gnomes (fighter, rogue, illusionist/psionicist), a half-elf wizard, my...

I gotta agree with you, and I said nothing about coming up through the ranks. Charlamagne, the Khans of the Mongols, Sargon the Great, Alexander the Great and many others of old times were givin thier leadership through bloodlines. But those I mentioned proved their worth through violence and...

Naw, there's no problem with falling in love with the NPCs. But you really should apply the same methods you use for creating the beasties. Who says that a beasties's stat block has to come from the Monster Manual. I love at the very least playing with the beasties's stats. My player's never now...

I love the bard, the bard is my favorite class. But I don't think a bard would make a good general. A good general had to work his way there by example, he had to show he was good at tactics, strategies, and at being tough. Lets face it the bard sucks at being tough, and being an example well...

Multi-classing with the bard is very fun, Had a bard/fighter/dualist combo, and the bard multi-classes well. Loss of spell levels don't hurt too much, bard's list ain't that great (but very useful in a pinch). The bards main claim to fame is his music and bardic knowledge, which ain't hurt too...

I've had long and short campaigns. Now I have no campaign, but would love to have either. The longest campaign, ran a little more than a year thats 3e (a 2e campaign ran 3 years). And I've run 1 session games. They're all fun. As to jewelry, hate the stuff (and am not married). Heck I don't...

When the DM seeing as how my character couldn't fly, picked my character up (a lowly bard) and flew around with my character as a hostage. But I had an item that would disentagrage on impact a foe, and being that the enemy was a vampire, I used it. And watch as the DMs evil grin (knowing I'd...

When one of the players look at me and see I've got a smile from ear to ear, and I hear them say "Jason's smiling" with a trembling voice, because they know something bads gonna happen. By the By my smile gets bigger at that point.
