    RANT - Obsession with Clerics

    That's why i like the Midnight CS, there aren't any clerics at all, except for evil NPC legates. Wizards and druids can cast healing magic, but they aren't walking hospitals. The best you can hope for in Midnight upon dying is to get reincarnated into a useful animal before your soul is trapped...

    D&D 4E DnD 4E DOA?

    I for one am sure that somewhere behind closed doors there are people scribbling notes and brainstorming 4th edition. Not that it will be put into production anytime soon, but people are bound to be thinking, "Well, if we WERE to do it, what would we change?" I for one think it would extremely...

    D&D 4E 4E had better have fewer skills & feats

    I don't have any problem with the 3.5 skill sets. I really like them actually. They are meticulously detailed in the books with good examples of use, and statting a character, IMO, doesn't take long. Even adding synergy and stuff like is, i think, sort of fun. I DM too but i NEVER take the time...

    D&D 4E DnD 4E DOA?

    There's no guarantee that a 4th edition would actually be an improvement. I hate that we're even talking about another edition.

    We made the DM cry...

    A 1st level stone golem monk? Hmm. I supppose it's all a learning experience, but that campaign sounds like it's going to have some problems off the bat.

    Has YOUR Arcana evolved or is it merely unearthed?

    I never bought, nor closely looked at AU or Diamond Throne. I'm thinking about getting AE after browsing through the book and being pretty dumbstruck by the presentation. Plus, some of the new classes sound pretty intriguing, like the greenbond, and i want to try the modified magic system...

    Well, I now feel dumber.....

    Ugh, my girlfriend has the TV on from 5pm when she gets home to 10 pm when she goes to sleep. the majority of those shows are sitcoms and reality shows. I just can't watch. I have a nice pair of earplugs and a stack of books to zone out. And the show where Mini-Me pees on the wall is, as i have...

    Real World Monster

    Supposedly the most dangerous animal in the world is the hippopotamus. Africa sure has its share of dangerous beasties. Here's a link where a woman tells her story of an attack. http://www.divernet.com/travel/hippo996.htm

    Real World Monster

    So, if machine gun fire couldn't penetrate the hide, what kind of DR do you think the thing had? i'm guessing DR 10, and it would apply per bullet. You would need explosives (or fireballs) to take down something like that, or shoot sedative darts (or exploding grendades) into his mouth.

    Can I make up random stuff as a DM?

    Sounds like a blackguard, which is really just a paladin gone bad. I say go for it, your plan sounds fine.

    ACK! I Hate level 15!!

    I'd have to say start a new lower level campaign. DnD assumes you aren't epic level until 21st +...I'd argue that it happens much lower. By the time you can teleport across worlds and planes, and wield weapons of supernatural destruction, the only way to up the ante is continue throwing tougher...

    Is this fair?

    What you have here is a classic DM's dilemma. You want to play the villian as...well...villanious, and clever and a threat. A well-planned cohesive attack by experienced persons could easily destroy most parties to the last man. However, that is not fun gaming. That is "Find a New DM." A happy...

    Real World Monster

    I can think of quite a few people i'd rather execute before killing the gator. : :p Ever heard of "Ghost and the Darkness" about 2 killer lions in Africa? Killed 140 people in 9 months. Here's the link: http://www.fieldmuseum.org/exhibits/exhibit_sites/tsavo/maneaters.html

    Is this fair?

    Well, no, i don't see any problem with your plan at all. The characters have made enemies, and sending assassins after them is plausible. They have a chance of noticing the attack to thwart it, and then another chance to survive the attack should it hit. Now, after a series of unlucky rolls on...

    [Grim Tales] Effects of Armor

    I think that's what lots of people (including myself) don't think about. We're trained as roleplayers not to think about the acutal pain and agony our characters face. Hacked down to -9 hp is no worse than a 1 hp scratch. Wearing a 2 lb. leather jerkin is no less uncomfortable than 45 lb steel...

    Real World Monster

    Yeah, a CoC croc. Just as you think the thing is dead, grounded, bleeding and helpless, a nest of writhing oily black snakes burst from its swollen belly and enwrap your comrades, mercilessly driving thick tentacles into their orifices before slurping them inside out. But the real thing was...

    Whisky for my men, beer for my horses!

    I've been wondering how to include some old Metallica into my CoC campaing, but "Call of Ktulu" is a little too harsh for 1925, albeit it is an amazing instrumental song. How 'bout these lyrics for "The Thing That Should Not Be" Messenger of fear in sight Dark deception kills the light Hybrid...

    Gargantuan Miniatures?

    Yup, Shaylon's right. Chewbacca was driving the AT-ST. Imperial Walker's codeman actually are AT-AT's. Sort of scared that i knew that.

    I wonder why they took 20 years before they bothered to capture it.
