The last two emperors were very strong rulers and were able to increase the number of imperial masks from 120 to 150 over the last years. At the moment some of them are only masks in name and not...

    Creative Exercise: The Sovereign Dominion of Eyros

    Aren´t the lizardfolk druids seen as some kind of semi divine beings or at least sacred? I would think if they said something about the matter the empire would consider to drop the custom.

    Creative Exercise: The Sovereign Dominion of Eyros

    Is it decided how much Thanatos knows about the primal oath and what he wants? Rystil stated an opinion but not sure if it is his contribution. I go on with this part of the story if Rystil doesn´t object. Thanatos knows about the primal oath and was the maker of the magical part of it. The...

    Creative Exercise: The Sovereign Dominion of Eyros

    Found a little problem Tellas identity should be known to thanatos as well as he still exists as the Cucullus Umbra. Would be strange if he didn´t know what the oath does and the identity of Tellas. Contribution: The solar Conquers Twice was on the prime to find his fallen brother who became...

    How in the heck do I get this party together?

    Ask the player of the Rashemi to change his character somewhat. Most problem can be circumvented by that. He is the CG guy, he hates the Thayan and is hated by the shaman. He could change alignment and origin. That would get rid of the tension. Otherwise the whole party and their staying...

    how does a culture recover from an apocalyptic event?

    If an apocalypse happened today on earth we would lose most information. Informations today are stored on mediums that don´t last long. Paper doesn´t last as long as parchment, magnetic tapes demagnetize, cds won´t store information so long, too. Of course the internet will break down and we...

    They killed my abbrasive, quarrelsome, violent NPC that I loved so much

    Why should the halfling expect the other PC to come to help him As far as I understood she was part of the party even if the NPC didn´t show up all the time. The NPC - PC divide is something OOC. ICC the character wouldn´t if some of the guys like the Hextorian cleric and the kukri fighter...

    Fantasy World Economics

    A small troop of higher level guys makes sense if you compare the possible firepower. A neighbouring dwarven kingdom in my world uses the adventurers setup. They have an elite force, called the Ten who are quite experienced and a supplementing elite force whose men are equipped with low level...

    Protecting Spellbooks

    I deduct a fee from the yearly income from my groups county. It pays for general upkeep, food and lodging. I haven´t thought about spellbook protection as we don´t use spellbooks to memorize. you need a library for research and advancing your magical knowledge. In one campaign the wizards used...

    Your biggest screw-up as a DM?

    My biggest fumble was in a GURPS game. It was Sci-Fi and our Troop went against some Mechs. I designed some kind of LRM -20 with 6 pound missiles, never checking the actual numbers of damage. One hit killed their vehicle and the whole crew

    Defy elven forest-fighting tactics! (Now open to my players)

    I don´t think that Orcs would know about modern forest fires caused by preventing smaller forest fires. We didn´t know about it in the first time either or we would´t have done it. Why should a subterranean race know this?

    Where do good dragons get the treasure they hoard?

    Some of the hoards could be heirlooms from the time when dragons ruled the land and the humansized stuff was made as tribute to the dragons. Other stuff I thought of has been mentioned already.

    D&D with no Healing Magic! Would it work?

    This will be very difficult to achieve. 1. Poison: Humans had to deal with poison in their history. There are treatments for most poisons so the players should get the appropriate medicines. 2.Dragons: Smaller dragons. Otherwise expect hit and run tactics, ambushes, dirty tricks and a lot of...

    Have the PCs in your party seen each other naked?

    Most of the PC have seen each other naked. Our katari (lioness) warpriestess isn´t shy and doesn´t mind that her companions see her naked. Three others are elves and not shy about their bodies either. Two of them slept with each other after they had a magical accident and their minds got...

    Powergaming Munchkins. Evil Incarnate

    This was in my homebrew world and -system. One player always: 1. Asked me rules questions for at least twenty minutes at the beginning of every game. These were not essential stuff but some tweaky strange ideas. 2. Was greedy for artifacts so much it was silly. Flew around alone during a...
