    Titans of Scarn.

    I was wondering about this too. I'm pretty sure that the it is mentioned that Golthagga created the dwarves to help him out at the forges. He thought that they were a bit fragile so he went on to create giants (fire?) who better stand the rigors. If S&S had something up their sleaves I would...

    Titans of Scarn.

    I had not made a direct connection between the ultima series, but I was looking for plot ideas based on the various Titans. I played a lot of Pendragon and I've always liked the clear and direct measurement of the different personality attributes. The idea that I'm playing with is starting a...

    D&D 3.x How a lord can be assassinated in DnD 3e?

    Some campaigns have created 'death blades' that permanently kill its target. If you have read any of the Steven Brust series it has some thoughts about a world where resurection is fairly available. That world also has 'Morganti' blades that will make sure the victim stays dead. There is...

    Two hander style gets the axe shaft!

    If you don't like your low level characters running around with two weapons, throw some DR creatures at them. They'll wish they had a Great Axe or Great Sword to use very quickly....

    Titans of Scarn.

    Here is a link to the descriptions of the Titans. http://www.swordsorcery.com/swordsorcery/titans.html I got into this thought pattern because I was wondering just how the Titan taint could ever be cleaned from the face of Scarn. Given that the Titans are expressions of the primal forces a...

    Titans of Scarn.

    I'm hoping to kick off a Scarred Land campaign sometime in the future and have been thinking about Titans of Scarn. In one sense The titans are expressions of the natural forces of the world. The explanation is pretty clear in the start of the Ghelspad setting book. Now the question/thought I...

    How long have you been a member of this community?

    June 2000 I'm not a particularly heavy poster, most of my time is spent reading other people's posts. I joined before GenCon of 2000. I'm guessing around June of 2000 or so.

    How to Ruin Your Campaign

    The closest I came to destroying a campaign was when I thought the characters had too much magic toys for their level. My reasoning went along the lines of: "With this amount of magic they are bound to get some unwanted attention. Somebody is going to notice this amount of magic and try to...

    Lance Charge and Cleave.

    Anything in the rules that prevents a charging knight from cleaving with his lance? It doesn't make much sense to me but I don't see anything in the rules regarding this... thanks, Ysgarran.

    Is Forgotten Realms worth it?

    There is so much information that you can easily pitch the things you don't want and keep the things you want. Just reading the stuff should give you lots of campaign ideas. One of my complaints about FR is that it has never struck me as particularly cohesive. Everything about it seemed sort...

    Little or No prep before a game....am I a bad DM?

    Actually I have two kinds of games I run. The first one uses a fair amount of preperation the other only requires developing the characters. If I can get the basic plot line down, the characters involved and their motivations that is pretty much all I need to do get a game ready. I like this...

    Which Campaign Settings do you own?

    Thanks for the information. This is the one campaign setting that I am currently missing and I'm not going to vote myself until I've had a chance to look over The Hunt. I'm going to pick it this weekend and start reading. I was wondering why I had not seen more about this setting. I don't...

    I only included those campaign setting that were nominated for the "Gen Con EN World d20 System Awards 2002". I happen to collect different campaign settings just because I enjoy reading about different worlds. Oriental adventures is full of lots of good stuff and so is Rokugen but neither...

    Which Campaign Settings do you own?

    Out of the Enny nominations of 2002, which of the campaign setting do you actually own? If you don't some of the nominees do you plan to pick up any of the ones you don't own? Just Curious, Ysgarran.

    ELH in-book sample module made my group cry

    Can you give a description of the characters involved? Kind of hard to figure out anything from just a description of 3 23rd level characters. There can be a huge amount variation between any two 23rd level characters. One thing I don't like is the assumption by the ELH book that the...

    Best Character Death?

    The most memorable death involved a Ranger of mine and the pursuit of a fairly high level drow priestess. After battling all of her minions and getting the drow priestess herself on the ropes she decides to flee. She manages to get a blade barrier up between the party and herself. We don't...

    ENnies 2002 Nominees (was "IT is done!")

    Re: Re: Question about Hallowfaust. Thanks for the response...I can see what you are saying; you probably would have convinced me had I been on the voting comittee :) What I liked about 'Barok Torn' is the origins of the conflict between the dwarves and the dark elves. I guess am partial to...
