    Help me staff a Keep

    Thorin Bloodsworn; male 1/2 orc; War, Ftr or Rgr; LN Thorin was rescued as a babe by a dwarven paladin during a raid on an orcish tribe, and left in the care of an elderly dwarven priest. He was raised to reject his orc blood, to believe in the supremacy of the dwarven people, and to be a...

    Help me staff a Keep

    Some more info about this existing keep would be very useful. Is it even in dwarven lands, manned by dwarves? That would obviously make a big difference in turning it into a dwarven temple...

    Maedar

    Reworded a little to soothe my delicate sensibilities. ;) "Forced to mate with blinded or blindfolded human males" sounds rather like there's some really sick and twisted BBEG breeding medusas. :D And "infinitessimal" is just the wrong word altogether...

    Instead of scaly, I'd prefer something more subtle. Perhaps their skin looks *too* smooth, even glossy. As if their whole skin is made from a scale-like substance, rather than soft human-skin.

    Why DO Other Games Sell Less?

    It's not just Metcalfe's Law, it's actually even more pronounced than that. Metcalfe's Law states that the value of a communications network is proportional to the square of the number of users, i.e. proportional to the number of pairwise connections that can be made across the network...

    True. I would expect any DM will be able to figure out how the birds and bees work for his particular world... (You'd also have to wonder how a medusa mates with a live male human... :confused:)

    Gah - what a screwed-up genetics! medusa x human male = medusa medusa x maedar = humans Wha? :confused: Any chance of changing this? This bit of insanity just spoils the whole critter for me...

    I'm recruiting new players - how does this sound?

    Main things that seem to be missing: - Character level? "I am fine with playing non-epic campaigns" to me reads like "I'd really love to play epic campaigns, but I'll reluctantly play one around lvl 15". Or do you typically start at lvl 1 and slowly work you way up to mid-levels? - What is...

    Giant by Poll: Post-crash Poll #16: Name Finalization

    Might be faster to just wait for one more vote. If there's still a tie at that point, we can let Shade pick his favorite. After all, he's the one setting up these polls, and there doesn't seem to be any strong preference between the top three anyway.

    Giant by Poll: Post-crash Poll #16: Name Finalization

    Hey, right now we've got 18 votes from 11 voters. Would you rather have had 7 votes less? The chance of getting a tie decreases as the total number of votes increases, so allowing multiple votes will always tend to reduce the likelihood of a tie. PS: voted against -skule, because it sounds...

    Giant by Poll: Post-crash Poll #15: Name Tiebreaker

    Time to call it for Glupsomething, methinks. Now we just need to agree on which Glupsomething. :D

    Giant by Poll: Post-crash Poll #15: Name Tiebreaker

    Don't like glup-skull. There's really nothing "skull" related with this giant, plus it messes with the etymology (glups + kulle, not glup + skull). I could go for glupskul or glups-kull though...

    DM's, Do your PCs realize there are Bigger Fish?

    Then again, a PC with a Napoleon complex can be lots of fun too! ;)

    Giant by Poll: Post-crash Poll #14: Name

    Sure! You're the expert, so feel free... I think we're looking for something that does not necessarily translate *directly* from a modern-day language. More for something you could make a plausible etymological argument for. Actually, we mainly need a name that sounds cool, so if you can help...

    Giant by Poll: Post-crash Poll #14: Name

    Ya know, if you let people vote for multiple choices, you wouldn't get so many ties. More total votes = less chance the top candidates get the exact same number of votes.

    Giants: How big should they be in an a Fantasy RPG?

    That would be the common-sense interpretation, right. But not exactly what the RAW says... Shield, Tower: "you can instead use it as total cover, though you must give up your attacks to do so." Total Cover: "You can’t make an attack against a target that has total cover." Sunder: "Step 1...
