A tidally locked world should have little or no tilt - and so no seasons to speak of, much like its one face has no day and its other face no night to speak of. I'll admit I did once play with the idea of a more 'normal' world around a red dwarf star, but to make it normal I had to place a...

This would be difficult to set up realistically. If the stars are closer than about 3 AUs (if I recall correctly), then they act as a single barycenter around which the planet orbits. They would appear as two suns that are always near each other - rising and setting together, etc. If the suns...

The PCs stay at an inn; when they awaken the next morning they find themselves in a ruin of an inn. Perhaps the rest of the town is also a long undisturbed ruin - or perhaps the rest of town is normal, but no one seems to find it odd that the PCs stayed in a place they acknowledge burned down...

I enjoyed it, but I was a little surprised at the result. If Roy is first and the blue half-dragon second, then at best Belkar is third. I've been expecting Belkar to go out with a bang during an arena match, as his death shouldn't be too far off now. With him - at best - in third position...

In high school I became interested in anime, and around graduation joined a local anime club that met weekly at a semi-local gaming / anime / comics store. However, I tended to arrive an hour or so early and generally read various fantasy and science fiction novels in the meeting room while...

Belar has, at most, only a few more months to live. Perhaps this is where he will end it? Also, I expect that Elan et all will be watching the games with his father when Roy and Belar enter the ring. Should be interesting to watch.

Here are a few ideas that first come to mind: 1: This is just a normal market, albeit underground and perhaps a bit exotic in some of its wares. Shouldn't be too difficult to work out. 2: This is actually the easiest to work in. Perhaps the house next door has a piece or two. Perhaps the...

I haven't exactly kept track over the years, but my impression is that they are rare. Far more often at least one or two will manage to get away, and those whose characters died will rejoin the group with new characters. Also, if things start to look they go worse than expected, I tend to have...

I can see Elan's father as lawful in the sense of "I do my duty and follow orders; I help bring and maintain strict order to society; etc" and evil in the sense of being selfish, looking after his own interests above and beyond that of others (albeit w/n the confines of his duty/orders/legal...

Little has been said so far about the portal by the original poster ... Is it a well known and official trade route between the cities? If so I expect it to be heavily guarded - like a more typical gate, such as the one leading to the local lord's palace or the noble district of the city...

I'm not even sure where to begin with this. Here, this is how I understand the system to work in D&D and similar games: The deities receive their power from the worship of their followers. Some of this power is re-invested back into the company so as to maintain the followers, attract new...

Not exactly ... There is Sanct and there is Taint. Sanct is the element of purest, truest existence - in a sense the 'glue' that holds the laws of nature together, working together as they should. Taint is the opposite, sometimes compared to non-existence, sometimes compared to ultimate...

The prophesy was stated to Roy's ghost, which occurred just after Belkar's symbol was triggered; that in turn occurred a few weeks (less than six) after Haley and Belkar left Azure city, which occurred several weeks after Azure city fell. So we have (at most) a perhaps as long as 4 months...

Probably not. He has not regenerated his eye despite easily being able to do so. Also, he speaks of the 'special project' in the past tense, suggesting that it has ended (and thus that Xykon has his phylactery again - or has given up on finding it, which I find virtually impossible to believe)...

LA buyoff? What is worth level adjustment at lower levels is rarely worth it at higher levels. 3.5e dealt with this via level adjustment buy off - effectively the player would have to take a level over again at (if I recall correctly) 4th, 8th, and 12th level to remove 3 levels of level...

A lot has been said about Eidolon imbalance. What if the Eidolon started out as small, could become medium at level 6 for 3 pts (currently where large is located), large at level 11 for 4 pts (currently where huge is located), and perhaps huge at level 16 for 5 pts (currently a non-existent...

The goblins are half sunk into the stone floor, seemingly partially fused with the stone. Strange fungal growths - some several feet tall - have grown out of their bodies, but upon closer inspection it is realized that the bodies are slightly dessicated, and the 'fungus' is made entirely of...

Birthright.net seems to be working fine now. The prior link goes directly to its wiki page, so hopefully that will be informative for you.

I second both the Duelist (eventually) and the Rogue / Fighter option - or even all rogue. Rogue skill points can easily allow you to fill the role you wish with various social skills; sneak attack can be used for non-lethal damage - thus allowing you to win fights without actually 'harming' the...

I like variety and new spins, but as one has already stated, too much can sometimes be too much. On the other hand, too little, and the concept becomes too narrow, to unsupportive of similar concepts associated with the archtype. I never had a chance to play 2e, but its idea of classes and...
