Just surround them - have the zombies come from all different directions so whichever way they run the find zombies. Could include the cliched moment of "Runaway.... no not that way.... no not that way either...." As for the kids - I had the thought of an annual 'field trip' for everyone under...

Cheers mate The Hoard PS - any chance you could elaborate on those races of yours... I've got plenty of 'open space' in my current homebre - mostly because none of the game has gone anywhere near it and I don't want to design stuff just for the sake of it, I'd rather wait until a good idea...

Yep - exactly what I was getting at

That was what I was getting at - they just ran with what they saw in Tolkien, without considering the implications on any further level. It's only now that so many more players have a decent grasp of genetics (still a fairly rudimentary science back in the late 70s) that we get into the debates...

Technically they can buy anything... in practicality it will depend on who and where they are, what they want, how quickly they want it, what they'll pay, and who they're asking. Most stuff will need to be comissioned - there are no magic production lines running anywhere. Some stuff might be...

Taking the tangent and running with it I think that the original game design was really trying to capture the concept different 'species' but referred to them as races rather than species. I'd say it probably stems from Tolkien who refers to the race of elves, the race of man, etc. They also...

Interesting - can you point me at a source... I'm wondering how this can be the case when organ donation problems become a serious issue in certain populations that's individuals are less frequent donors. E.g. There were posters around London that point out that something like only 2% of black...

I always felt that the dragon cross-breeding was on the basis of the inherent magical nature of dragons, rather than on a species/genetic basis. On the other hand I felt that elves humans and orcs were not inherently magical, so their cross-breeding had to stem from their biology. Hence they...

Main Priority: To engage the players in a story in a manner in which they can take on the roles of their characters. I.e. to create plot lines that the players feel their chatacters will respond to. Whether that's by presenting a roll player with a dungeon filled with monsters and motivating...

On the purely genetic level - the very fact that the half elf and half orc are viable means that they are the same species - so it doesn't matter which chromosomes they get they should still live. So the child should be 50% human alleles, 25% elf alleles and 25% orc alleles. On game terms I'd...

As a brit I have to say that this is probably hogwash I've seen some games run here where the battlemat is out and the entire game is about positioning the fireball, making the AoOs, planning the movement, with battles lasting 6 or 12 seconds taking an hour to detail. By contrast I've seen...

The current world record for a standing jump high kick is nine feet and I believe 2 inches. That's the world record to jump then throw one foot as high as you can and break a board held aloft. The non-kicking foot probably makes about 2 to 3 feet. Vertically jumping 10 feet and clearing that...

Without the RAW in front of me I can't comment on your real question as to what the RAW allows. What I would say is that the Practised Spellcaster feat does not work in conjunction with the wild mages -3/+1d6. The wild mage could still use it to improver caster level because of multi-classing...

Without the evolutionary pressure of the wood chucks chucking wood there would be no force acting on the trees to stimulate the evolution of anti-wood chuck defence, so the wood chuck development would have to come first. When anti-wood chuck defences did spring up they would start with more...

No historical or real world evidence for this but my assumption was that it was pretty much an arrow being used as a melee weapon. Imagine the archer getting caught up in close quarters combat and just pulling the nearest and most expendable weapon he has to hand (don't want to damage the bow!)...

Played it in reverse back in '89 I think. We came in the back end of it, worked our way down through the 'safe' parts that weren't gas filled, and when we reached the bit that was gas filled we opened it all up, let it air out for like a month, then went in and cleared the whole thing out...

It's a terrible wasting disease you are suffering from called Demunchkinasia ;) . Symptoms include a desire to play a character with no stat over 12 or to play a fighter that specializes in the dagger and has feats like persuasive and skill focus (diplomacy). Other symptoms include a tendency...

Hope it goes well on the weekend and that at least something here's pointed you in the right direction
