Dire versions of plain jane animals

Well, I would like to bounce an idea off of you guys in reference to a Haunting. We're not talking about the 8th level Cleric walks in and casts Bless and it's game over, nothing so simple, but a real, tried and true haunting. Of a derelict Nautiloid... Themes I am considering: 1...

I searched youtube for Palpimanus, and whoa, that's one impressive Spider. Looks like something out of the Plioscene Epoch. Looks like something I am going to make about 7 feet tall and place as a Boss in the next adventure I run.

I can feel the pain of the op. I, too, have been called the DM of Legend. People would flock, from near or far to be in one of my games. Like you, I have DMed for various groups, that have come and gone, over the course of the last (gasp) 35 years or so. And like you it seems I peaked early...

I LOVE your Wormy icon To the question - aye, I play from time to time without maps, but, that's when we aren't doing alot of travelling. If there's travel involved, the maps are in use. Of course, I have people who like to bip off to other dimensions, so I get to do alot of improvisational...

This makes me really miss the old Marvel Super heroes, Villians and Vigilantes and Champions games. I think I will need to try and coerce the old gaming group to give it a spin for change of pace... I ran the gamut, from the mystic, to the mutant, to the brick, to the super duper - but my...

My elven wizardress likes to polymorph opponants into lamp oil, throw a torch on the oil, count to ten, then cast dispell magic. I've had many different adjudications as to what happens. From severe 3rd degree burns head to toe, to the person coming back 1 size category smaller... She likes...

My guys get a huge kick out of my NPC names: A few highlites: Flowers McGillucutty - Cambion Lord, Overseer of a Mazrid Provincial Trading Post on the Planet Khelliun (Spelljamming) Red Rob of Dungledown - Not a red head, and not from Dungledown, in fact, no one in the party has ever heard...

Even Artifacts can be destroyed... And most Lich Phylacteries, while very powerful and very unique, simply won't fit this bill - they're not, inherently, artifacts or relics. Nor imho should they be. This said - how uber is this lich? Are we talking a mk 1, mod 1 Monster Manual Lich who we...

Orcs'seses Orcs just keep on keepin' on.... In Tolkien's world, Orcs were a corrupted, twisted and dark version of an elf. Almost everywhere else, they were and in many cases remain pig-like humanoids. It is an interesting concept, that if somehow and Orc were allowed to get old enough, he...

Larger groups can be problematic In my experience, with every version 1-4 and all the various hybrids out there, is the larger the group, the less dominate players actually get less rp time than they would with a smaller group. The golden number I always shoot for is 5, 5 players. It always...

Quite a bit of input on this - my thanks; and my concern about everyone always coming back from the dead - generally isn't when I am at the helm. If you are the lone survivor of a party of 5, if you do somehow manage to find some hair, a severed finger, the partially eaten foot - etc, of each...

This threat makes me want to revisit my old Taladas campaign we used to run on the tablelands - home to the various barbarian tribes, each of whom had a symbiotic relationship with their clan Totem, which manifested in the form of a animal spirit. The last time we played that game, our...

Ok my healthy (er) munchies include: Splenda (vice Sweet) tea Ice Water (Instead of a tall glass of coke, I now like a tall glass full of ice with either filtered well water, OR water right out of Denny Creek) Orange Juice Grapes Yogurt Covered Raisins AND I intentionally do not eat a lunch...

This is becoming a recurring issue in our continuing 3.5 homebrew. It seems we can't go a single sesseion without someone pulling a blade and attacking a party member. I'd like to say it's always one hot-head, but they seem to be taking turns as to who the hot-head is going to be for the...

I drop in every few days for a hello at the aforementioned new store. I make it a point, once a week, I buy something - usually more dice to add to the twenty-giga-quadrillion I already have. Place is still busy, all the time - they've even extended their hours - I have directed the owner to...

Many of the Dakota Sioux and other plains tribes revered: Qagwaaz Qagwaaz is a powerful warrior who wanders the plains alone, capturing wild horses and hunting buffalo solely for the sport of it. He is a welcome guest in the camps of all the plains tribes, where he enjoys challenging the...

We have a similar scenario here - a new store just opened up, with several gaming tables for minis, rp, etc - and almost every night, there's a dozen - or more - people. The problem they are facing, no one BUYS anything. They bring all their stuff in with them, play, and leave. In many cases...

This is a very difficult issue for me to chime in on As I find myself drawn into comparing the versions/editions of our game. In fact TO discuss this topic in it's fullest, I almost see no way to NOT compare editions... First off, I must have some time on my hands, as I read not only the OP...

I once ran a game based on the Seven Samurai - instead the players played Paladins... oh, and everyone had to speak in pig latin the entire game. Drove the NPCs crazy...
