    A New Scarred Lands Convert

    A quick comment about epic level play. None of the avatars or the heralds have been created with epic level rules. If you truly wanted this level of play I would say one of the first things to do would be to go back and add some epic level feats/features to the avatars and heralds. The...

    Lord Byron in D&D

    Do you mean lech or lich? lech: A lecher: “a coke-snorting arbitrageur who's an irrepressible lech” (Pauline Kael). A lecherous desire. lich: You know, the undead kind. Ysgarran.

    Christmas wish list.

    Thanks for the suggestions, The Book of the Rightous, Tir Na Og and Slaine all sound very good. I'm a big fan of Authorian mythology and through that I've read a fair amount of Celtic Mythology. The Scarn products I'll buy for myself regardless... Ysgarran. p.s. I have the KoK world book and...

    Christmas wish list.

    The Quint series have been too 'rules' oriented for my tastes. My best purchases lately have been everything in the 'Scarn/Scarred Lands' line of books but I don't see anything coming out before Christmas in that line. I have some of the KOK but not all. I'm very tempted to put one of the d20...

    Christmas wish list.

    What should I be putting on my Christmas wish list. Well, the top of the list is the 4-DVD set of the LotR-FotR but I'm looking for ideas on RPG front. I have tendency for game background material as compared to books that are full of 'crunch'. Suggestions? Thanks, Ysgarran.

    Polytheism in medieval europe

    Corruption in a LG Church. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- I find this very difficult to do within the iron clad, absolutist, black and white alignment system of D&D. The only way I've managed to make this work is to limit detection, scry and...

    Polytheism in medieval europe

    Corruption in a LG Church. I find this very difficult to do within the iron clad, absolutist, black and white alignment system of D&D. The only way I've managed to make this work is to limit detection, scry and divination spells that are available and to make the gods a bit more distant. I...

    Polytheism in medieval europe

    I think you are correct but it kind of begs the question of "What do you mean by 'european feel'. If you go with a fantasy take instead of a 'real world' take you might actually retain some of the european aspects of the society. You also have to decide if you are going to stick with the D&D...

    [BADD] My players threw down the gauntlet!!

    I don't think that you have to take those two feats for the frost Giant. I don't have the book in front of me but look at the Frost Giant NPC in the FR book to confirm this, I'm pretty sure that she does not either of those two feats. Another example would be Orcs, Orcs are listed with the...

    The Fox and the Hedgehog: a different take on law/chaos

    Very interesting, this reminds of the Pendragon RPG with its personality trait system. Makes me wonder if the creators of Pengragon read either Machiavelli or Berlin. I've always played with the idea of applying the personality traits to the alignment system of D&D but never have yet. I...

    [OT] Breaking News: Assyria at war with Babylon

    I did read about that. I think someone also posted a link to the article in the ENWorld boards. Perhaps someone could find the link to that one? That article had more campaign ideas in it since it talked more about some of the politics that were going on. later, Ysgarran.

    Another WOTC Setting Search semifinalist speaks...

    I don't know if it is an intentional parallel but the fight to save "a golden age of magic" sounds like some Pendragon campaigns I've played in where one of the main conflicts is between the old pagan gods and the new 'rational' world. With the entrance of the christian god the old pagan...

    Help build a Single-Classed Ranger.

    I'll admit that your question is part of the problem. I'm in search of a concept as much as anything. I really like Plain Sailing's suggestion of training dire animals and such. It is very different from any of the characters currently in play. My first thought was to take these three feats...

    Help build a Single-Classed Ranger.

    I'm one of those players who has never been a big fan of the PHB Ranger class but I'm going to give it a try in a FR campaign that a friend is running. I guess part of the problem is that there is so many things that I'd like Ranger to be able to do but you can only select a few things. This...
