    Thought Exercise - Alignments for Discworld characters

    I see vimes more as Neutral Good. Vimes is OK with doing some fairly rough things to accomplish the greater good. He also has no problem hanging out with seedy sorts and turning a blind eye to their behavior (Nobby & Colon ... well Nobby really) Speaking of Nobby, I'd peg him easily as Chaotic...

    [Bards] What options are there to make them more interesting

    Counterspeller - Max your initiative. Take all the counterspelling feats possible, and ready actions to counter spells. You might cast like a bard, but you can counter like a wizard of the same level. Don't overlook the chance to occaisonally use countersong as well. Professional Liar - High...

    Sentient dungeon?

    Mearls had a high level adventure in Dungeon maybe a year and a half ago that involved the PC's entering a titanic living, evil tree infested with a hag druid and her T-Rex companion. The tree was sentient, and would spray sap/acid on the party, constrict its chambers at inconvenient times, etc...

    The Dragon's Hoard Arcane Game OOC / Ask questions

    Sorry to do this guys, but I just took a new position at work, and the work load is much higher than I expected. I'm afraid I'm gonna have to drop out. :( I'm going to keep following the thread though, so good luck! Remember, the show must go on!

    Kill the gods, your experience

    Back in the days of junior-high, my first group and I did the stereotypical "Kill our way through D&Dg" routine. We had an epic battle with Azmodeus. IIRC we somehow managed to trick him into touching a Trap the Soul gem, there might have also been a big fight on the Astral Plane where we cut...

    The Dragon's Hoard Arcane Game OOC / Ask questions

    These all sound good. Put the maps wherever is easiest for you. How do you handle die rolls? Invisible Castle? Or do you just roll everything. I honestly prefer to just have the DM make all the rolls, so I can sit back, roleplay and just enjoy the ride. ;)

    Help me help my group like WFRP

    You need to make the players understand the difference between "low-fantasy" and "high-fantasy". D&D is high fantasy - wizards throw fireballs that incinerate crowds, knights ride noble steeds and rescue fairy maidens. Rangers wade throw armies of foes with their dual scimitars dripping gore...

    PC Scavengers

    It depends on the alignment of the characters. In my largely good group, the characters don't loot the dead, because they're busy packing the corpse for transport back to get raised/rez'd etc. In a more selfish group, where the characters don't care about each other, or have no way to restore...

    Must buys in this list?

    Do yourself a favor and get a subscription to Dungeon. If you like Dragon, it can be good too, but Dungeon has almost become required reading these days. There is always something useful to a DM in the magazine, whether it be a full adventure, a single encounter, or even just all those great...

    The Wii May Be the Bane of Roleplaying

    At least with a tabletop RPG you won't accidentally throw a remote through the front of your television. Think I'm kidding? Check out Wii Have A Problem You might need to scroll down to see all the damage done by the flying Wiimotes. Looks like the strap needs a little improvement. ;)

    Attack the orphanage!

    Give all the little kiddies a molotov cocktail. They don't even need to throw it. They can just have it strapped to their chests. When they run up to grapple the PC's the molotov should burst. Be sure to describe the crackle and sizzle of baby flesh, and the horrid stench of roast orphan. Even...

    What is your fave alien race?

    I have a soft spot for the classic Star Frontiers races, Vrusk, Dralasite and Yazirian. The Piggies from Orson Scott Card's "Speaker for the Dead" are a VERY unique and VERY alien species. Don't forget the Giant Space Hamsters from Spelljammer! The space-based monsters from the Godzilla...

    Nale's evil plan? So Nale makes a point of telling Thog to grab the knapsack ... There's only one thing we know for certain is in that knapsack - the Girdle of Femininity! Clearly Nale's plan is to turn Elan into the sister he always wanted! Or else Nale is secretly in love with Thog, and...
