Actually, I'm pretty certain those were the control words :) -- and we were encouraged to sing along -- "woah... woah.." and make hand motions. This didn't last long though, our mean-spirited party cleric gave MC Hammer a verbal beating for his unwillingness to assist us in our quest on our...

We once encountered a rather pretentious and self-righteous Lawful Warhammer +2 of Dancing by the name of Michael Cornelius Hammer yeah, that's right MC Hammer for short -- if you gave it the command it would jump ahead and dance attack your opponents...

More books The Cry for Myth by Rollo May. (1991) Man and Transformation. Papers from the Eranos Yearbooks. Edited by Joseph Campbell -- this is the fifth volume of a rather fascinating series that compiles the translated papers of the Eranos Conferences in Switzerland. They deal with...

Why? Cool dwarven minis

a few that I've played or am currently playing: human fighter, specialized in breaking inanimate objects (worked best with 3.0 rules and the Sunder chain) dwarven cleric, black panther-esque, big afro hair-do, very militant, racist against humans ("always the Man - the HU-Man - trying to put...

Actually... it's a trilogy! A little scary -- evidently there was enough written for the first movie (that was cut out) that they planned on a trilogy. http://filmforce.ign.com/articles/300/300298p1.html http://movies.yahoo.com/shop?d=hp&cf=prev&id=1808403834

This happens occasionally in our campaigns as well. In one case, it was the party wizard who we had entrusted with a set of artifact books necessary for the saving the fabric of the multiverse. At some point he had been tricked into donning a cursed ring of truth and we had exploited that fact...

yeah, that'd be a problem wouldn't it :( I guess you'd need to upgrade to Winnebago's Mirrored Blanket of Reflection (tm) -- only an extra 999 gp delivered to your door...

Simple but effective attack vs beholders... - A very large weighted blanket (essentially a cross between a blanket and a weighted net). Dropped or thrown over a beholder, the blanket negates the majority of the beholder's attacks. Note, because the blanket is a mundane item it can't be...

More links/sources to consider: I'm not certain if these are exactly what you're looking for, but there are a number of very interesting papers at the Porta Ludovica Umberto Eco site. (If you haven't read Eco's Foucault's Pendulum and Name of the Rose, I can't recommend them enough)...

I'm impressed! Actually I'm impressed with the quality of all the song posts so far. Keep them coming - this is certainly an education. -------------- Neil http://www.lone-crow.com

SNUFFED THE MAGIC DRAGON We snuffed the magic dragon, smote her kids in two, Stuck her with some pointy sticks and covered her with fuel. We wounded her with shiny swords, threw some fiery rounds She bellowed out an angry cry and burrowed underground. CHORUS We snuffed the magic dragon, smote...

Eye of the Beholder Eye of the Beholder Risin' up, back in the woods Took our time, took our chances Went the distance Now we're back for the goods Just a band and their will to survive So many times, it happens too fast We trade our brain cells for glory We rush right in to take down those...

Ok, this is inspired by the current "How do YOU play a Bard?" thread. * What are your favorite bard songs that you have written? * Do you write parodies of contemporary songs or create original compositions? Feel free to post and share.

I think I'm fond of playing bards largely because I'm somewhat of a bard in RL (I write poetry, read at open mic venues, and will be starting my MFA in Creative Writing this fall). Being a bit on the introverted side, I'm usually not standing up and acting out my bard abilities, but I do...

Cheesiest? In a 3.0 game, this actually happened. After breathing lightning on the party, the blue dragon (juvenile) passes through the fighter's threatened area provoking an attack of opportunity. The fighter critically hits on the AoO with a mercurial greatsword+2 for a total 75 points of...

Here's an example from real life of exactly this scenario: (excerpted from http://www.prometheussociety.org/articles/Outsiders.html) /begin quote "His name was William James Sidis, and his IQ was estimated at between 250 and 300 [8, p. 283]. At eighteen months he could read The New York Times...
