The Shadow Demon was one of my favorite creatures of all time. Of course, it is even better that he got to be Vengar's lackey in the cartoon. Personally, as I looked at the Shadow Demon again, recently for a game I am running, it seems to stay true to the original concept presented in the...

Well, if its luck rays you're talking about, I am down with that!

Good luck to all of us? That is a nice feeling but obviously EVERYONE can'yt have the luck . . .

I had a chaos mage named Malefactor. She was kind of the party's guide. She was a mean and creepy temptress who claimed to be a cleric of chaos and at times was more of a snake oil salesman(woman). One of her great claims to fame that my party still recalls from her 10 years later was her...

Sweet! I can't wait to start my own anti Enk memories. Ahhhh. :)

One of the things I have done in the last two campaigns I ran was spend one whole evening before play started where the players describe their characters and assist each other in building backstories and character personalities, etc. I suppose this is party building. This has been a huge...

Is it too late for me to jump in and start bashing on Enk or has that time passed?

I think the character has a lot in common with Wolverine - a decent character in and of himself but overexposure is a major problem with me. Wolverine seems to be in ever comic out of Marvel these days and Drizzt seems to have crept into a lot of gaming groups when I operhear conversations at...

Typically, I do not pay a lot of attention to the one person who comes along and passively-aggressively pokes holes in someone's idea. It comes off as rude and obnoxious (and perhaps that is what the person sometimes is aiming for). That being said, maybe that is why I tend not to notice as...

Wow. Some of these plots - like doing deals for Mind Flayers and doing deals for Drow elves - have the kind of complexities that would make Rube Goldberg constipated. One of the worst games I have ever played in was at GenCon. It was a Call of Cthulhu game with like 20 people. I had no idea...

Kristivas, I can't believe you murdered Gimli! Shame on you.

Years ago I had a subscription to Dragon (back under 1e) and I eventually let it lapse. I would occassionally buy it every now and again for neat articles but these days it seems to be filled with prestige classes and feats. That's kind of cool if you are into that kind of thing but I have...

One option I had a long time ago was a villain who infiltrated my world's version of Arkham Asylum and was training and allying himself with some of the inmates. That made for a tough stronghold to attack.

Believe it or not, Diplomacy is one of the easiest games to get into. I think there must be some kind of GenCon law that states Diplomacy must start every hour on the hour somewhere. I suspect your Diplomacy needs will be met. ;)

Interesting topic. In the two groups I am in the views are pretty varied on both politics and relgion. Though the topics come up from time to time, I, as the GM in both groups am not concerned about the debates so much as I am the slowing down of the game. Besides, the people are very civil...

Iron Kingdoms is one of the most clever settings I have seen. Midnight is up there, too, but due to the dark nature it could turn some people off. For traditional fantasy gaming, go with Scarred Lands. But its a dead world in the sense that they have stopped publishing material for it (which...

1. How long have you been roleplaying? Have you ever stopped roleplaying altogether for any significant period of time? If so, why? I would say the only time I stopped role playing regularly was when I was in graduate school. That was a two year period where I did not really get out much...

With all the suggestions of abandonned properties being used as bases and hideouts, I imagine the city council would be well within their rights to say that once a property is no longer in use, tear it down. :cool:

LaSalle is who I played with, too and the amount of energy that guy has needs to be bottled. One of the best 'one off' experiences I had. A couple of years ago I was running a supers game at Origins where he was running X Crawl at the next table and we were competing for noise and antics...
