    Church of Bones, Prague

    Also interesting and in a similar vein are the Paris Catacombs and the Capuchin Catacombs. IMO, the Capucin Catacombs are creepier due to the way the bodies are arrayed and the state of preservation of some of them. DM

    Help Me "Tweak" the Hundred Years War and Black Death

    I just found it at Amazon in "Like New" condition for $4.85 from a reputable seller. The new copies are only about $12.00. I ordered it this morning. Sounds like a great read and you can read the first dozen pages or so on Amazon with the "Look Inside" feature. Thanks! DM

    Suggestions for vanilla campaign setting?

    I would like to second the choice of Greyhawk. Some of the best maps available are the set of four for Greyhawk that were printed as poster maps and packaged with Dungeon recently. DM

    Looking for an underground dungeon adventure ....

    How about Necromancer Games' Grey Citadel. It has a considerable portion of it underground and is meaty. There is a well developed city base as well. Not sure you will find anything that meets all of your criteria. You want something like D1-3 (which featured Drow and evil god worship), but...

    Help Me "Tweak" the Hundred Years War and Black Death

    I guess my best bet for Tuchman's book is Amazon. I will check out the cost and hopefully order it. I really got into Cornwell's Grail Quest Trilogy (historical fiction) and have been searching for a good book on the century ever since. Thanks for some more great ideas and thoughts! Once...

    Cake: What kind do you like?

    I know, but not officially. That is one of the reasons I like it. It is a bit subversive. Call it the Boston Cream Pie Counterculture. That would be a great name for a band. DM

    Do you like storms?

    I know how you feel, but storms are cool. My wife is scared of them, but I have stood outside in hurricanes (Hugo, Charlie, Floyd, some other minor ones), chased a few tornadoes with camcorders and love gaming during them (Ravenloft - I6 in a bad thundersotrm was waycool). We drove trough a...

    Why did you start DMing?

    A group of guys I didn't get along with (I was picked on in school) came up to me and said, "We want to learn this game, but the books are long and hard to read, so read them and teach us how to play. You're smarter than us. You can be the DM." I thought it was like snipe hunting at first and...

    Your Gas Price

    Local stations (2 of them) are down to $1.94. I also bought 10% Ethanol for $1.96 in Savannah, GA Saturday night when "real gas" was at $2.15. DM

    18 Tricks to Teach Your Body

    When I was in college I listened to recordings of test reviews as I fell asleep the night before the test. I ALWAYS scored higher than students who stayed up half the night studying. It boggled everyone's mind and I didn't give up my secret. They always wondered how I went to bed and they...

    Ebay

    If they use Paypal and you have paid them, report them to Paypal. They are very good about telling their members to do what needs to be done. DM

    Cake: What kind do you like?

    See, that is the thing. I HATE fruit pies. I turn up my nose at apple or cherry pie. I do have a few to add to my list though. I like pumpkin pie, pecan pie and sweet potato pie in addition to those I named earlier. Oh, and does pizza pie count? DM

    Help Me "Tweak" the Hundred Years War and Black Death

    Thanks. Your post is a gold mine for me. I am not going to use the manual labor zombies, but I like the rest of it. I think that I will have the world ravaged by the disease for almost a hundred years. The other races have been affected and their survivors will come to the lands of men to...

    Help Me "Tweak" the Hundred Years War and Black Death

    Actually, there are some great ideas in your post. Thank you VERY much. One consideration I am thinking is that I would have to make the "Hundred Years" of War longer than that. I am thinking about 300 years of warfare. I like what you say about organized religion. I was looking for a...

    Cake: What kind do you like?

    Another fan of the band Cake here. I don't really care for edible cakes. I lean toward pies of the chocolate cream, boston cream, Oreo cream and peanut butter varieties. Actually, there is one kind of cake that I do like. I like specialty varities of cheesecake. My favorite dessert is...

    Help Me "Tweak" the Hundred Years War and Black Death

    I am looking to write something into the homebrew I am working on that mimics the Hundred Years War and resultant plagues (along with inquisition) that ravaged Europe (I liked Bernard Cornwell's take on this in his Grail Quest trilogy). In your opinion, how would longer lived races such as...

    Do you stop at a certain level? Sweetspot?

    The characters in my campaign that is just ending hit 15th level last week. That is about as high as I like to go. DM
