    Countries with biggest rpg market?

    In order to get a real assessment you'd need to look at the market as a factor of the population size in order to get a true figure for who's #1 - might be that some smaller country has a higher concentration of gamers even though there are clearly a larger number of US gamers... just a theory...

    How would you make a fantasy Ironclad "go?"

    3 decanters of endless water (or three banks of them if more power is needed) at the back - independently controllable in order to steer the ironclad. Bag of devouring at the front that is used to stop the water level of the planet increasing from all the water being created at the back...

    Tell me about different elves

    Hernan Elves In my home brew I've taken the elves back into being tru woodland creatures not the high elves that just don't make sense to me in the PHB. Woodland based and tribal, the elves have never developed arcvane magic and don't really trust it. They aren't xenophobic as a race, though...

    Help for a fledging DM

    I'll second Yennico - having a player's PC be the traitor could be bad in the long term. However here's an option... have one of the players play the traitor for the first game only (or until the betrayal) - then you take over the character and he introduces another one. This does mean having...

    Both work nicely - just need the pressure for them to stop being Aboleth. Now that I've carefully researched the illithid to learn about their biology (read: been smacked-down ;) by Chris for not knowing about illithid) and know ALL about their tadpoleness I'm going to propose... uhmm...

    Bugger :\ ... goes to show what little I know about illithid... as I said I've never really used them - mainly cause psionics when I first started playing were so out of whack with everything else I still don't even consider using them in my worlds. OK so back to the evolutionary drawing...

    I m a girl get over it

    I get his with car mechanics... my partner's an engineer and understands the things... I'm a biologist and just know that the car gets me from a to b.... so the mechanic is there asking me questions... I'm shrugging and acting like the ignorant bar steward I am... she's answering the...

    I m a girl get over it

    :lol: I quite understand, oppressing players like you have must be terribly difficult... particularly when you only have a little Mongali Horde to threaten them with.

    Nice concept Mouse - never been a big one for using either race having but may have to look into them now. If you're going for an evolutionary process then you probably need to come up with some intermediate forms. Ever play werewolf? If so you need to figure out what the Hispo, Crinos and...

    I m a girl get over it

    I've gamed with girls and girlfriends for years... introduced some to gaming, met others through it, and have been pleasantly surprised when one nervously brought up the subject (thinking that I wasn't a gamer and would think she was the geek.... hmmm that was nice) My experience of female...

    Tree/Web of Live

    I haven't actually written one down at all but I've got the basis in my head. Basically it's involved remembering that there's a lot of wilderness land about and removing the things we think of as top predators (mainly wolves and the big cats) - at least in those areas where there's something...

    Hobbits & Halflings

    Can't say for certain whether or not a human like 'small-folk' really existed in mythological terms pre-Tolkien but I don't know of any thing halfling-like. However I can say that of the folklore and rumour that surrounds Tolkien (which may very well be fact but who can tell these days) he...

    What would you have done?

    Absolutely. If the Zhents really were EVIL, then isn't it my duty to slay them? Oh but they've surrendered... but they're EVIL... Am I doing a greater evil by letting them go to commit evil again, or by killing them, thus bringing myself down to their level! Again agreed Not sure I agree...

    What would you have done?

    Guys-n-gals My apolologies if anything was over the top in my first post I was not trying to be political. I wanted to share the information I had just had about the nature of torture in military conditions and what people are able to 'sink to' in times of need. Unfortunately the reference I...

    What would you have done?

    Wow - serendipity or what! Sorry I'll explain Last night on BBC2 there was a program called "We Have Ways of Making You Talk". It was quite disturbing but very interesting. A documentary on the history of the use of torture by various organisations since the Algerian struggle for...

    Did anyone here catch the new "Doctor Who"? (Merged)

    I caught the first episode and I'm going to echo most of the thoughts already given - it was an intro and I hope future stories have a bit more plot. I think Eccleston is doing a good job with the quirkiness and general character of the Dr. and that a lot of the differences come as a sign of...

    Reccomendation for a good single malt Scotch

    A man after me own tastes... the 2 finest whiskeys there are and both needing just a touch of water to bring out the full flavour. These two are both on the peaty end which may not be for you if you're just getting into your malts but I would recommend them both. To start with go with the...

    Need some advice on player politics

    Since when did one player get creative rights over another players character? OK if they're impinging on his enjoyment they may be need to go and get a cold shower, that I understand. But I would never allow one player to dictate to another what they can or can't do... it's just not his call...
