    Playing with dead things

    This thread is perfect! I'm starting to work out a campaign centering around the rise of Necromancy in Thay (Forgotten Realms). It would include using undead-labour as a workforce, and for just about anything else that you could think up a use for. This thread will be liberally mined for...

    So how's life treating all of you?

    Speak for yourself, I'm a Romulan! :D

    What time is it right now?

    Living in Central Daylight Time right now. Boards set to GMT - 7 (Usually GMT - 6, but have to account for daylight savings time. Since we're an hour ahead, it "should" be 11:54 now, not 12:54. Thus, setting it back to mountain time corrects it for me, I think.) My clock: 12:54 Boards: 12:51

    Catacombs -- battlemat sized map (22" x 24"), 1" = 5'

    Here's a map I've worked up, featuring a set of catacombs underneath a temple of a death god (Velsharoon is applicable, from FR. Undeath, necromancy, etc.). It is scaled at 1" = 5', so it can be printed out as-is (or in B&W) for play. Have a printing shop put it on a posterboard, or grab some...

    [lotr] Theatrical release of the EXTENDED editions!!

    I bet there's no way in the Nine Hells that this thing is coming to Hammond... Might be able to get out to Baton Rouge or New Orleans, if anyone there carries it. Wow, I'm excited!

    What the heck, here I am too. orbitalfreak -- Matthew B. Milton Photo's a little messed up, but here I am wearing my trademark dragon cap and black leather jacket. Knight of the Silver Dragon (d20 Modern) patch from WotC adorning each sleeve. *edit* And a new avatar!

    [Cats] Things you find in the middle of the road... (big picture included)

    Thanks for the well-wishes, everyone. The kitties are doing great, and have really taken a liking to us. The only casualty so far has been the shower curtain, which now sports a two-square-foot gaping hole in it!

    So how's life treating all of you?

    Almost everything's hunky-dory in my neck of the woods. I don't have any health issues, even though I don't live a healthy lifestyle. Money's a little tight right now, and I have (checks wallet and checkbook) $160 to last me until mid-September. Good thing the next book I want is coming out...

    [Why we were down] All hail Thomas Heretic!

    But, if people couldn't post, then how did they post that they couldn't post? That's like saying to someone, "I've lost the ability to speak." [/semi-joking] They were using the present tense, after all...

    Druids and the Scribe Scroll Feat?

    What about specially-treated bark from trees. It would be harvested in a manner so as to not harm the trees (during winter, some trees shed their bark. Dead trees make good sources, as well). The "ink" could come from sap, crushed flowers mixed with water, or other "natural" sources (bonus...

    [Cats] Things you find in the middle of the road... (big picture included)

    We're thinking they're about two months old. They're old enough to eat a little hard food, so they'll be making the transition to that, probably this week. We might give them some more canned food first, though, just in cast they're not quite ready. Well, the kid was in her car seat at the...

    [Cats] Things you find in the middle of the road... (big picture included)

    Well, here's the backstory. We (my mom, step-dad, me, my brother, and my 2.5 yr old sister) were all in the car, going for a little ride on Sunday night. My sister is throwing a little fit because she's not ready to go back home yet, so we decide to take the long way back. In a stretch of...

    [Dragon] What's up with the old ads?

    Well, that could be for casual players who know of D&D 3e, but who don't follow the game closely enough to know about 3.5e. That person might be browsing in B.Dalton's one day and see a "Dragon" mag, think "Hey, it's been a while since I bought one of these," and buy it. Then, he sees an...

    [OT] Gerbil removal techniques

    I didn't realize that "rodent disasters" were that common a thing. Hurricanes, I can understand as disasters. But rodents? That's just... wierd!

    Mensans, reveal yourselves

    IQ around the 145 - 155 mark, for whatever that's worth. I know I'm an intelligent person, but there's thousands more out there who are as good as me or better. Bragging rights? Meh. I tend to DM, but I see myself playing any number of characters. I could be the smooth-talking swashbuckling...

    (OT) Adulthood Survival Kit

    Various toiletries, like deoderant. "Trial packs" of things like toothpaste, shampoo, etc. Small black plastic comb that you can put in a pocket, maybe a pocket mirror as well. I feel lost now that I've misplaced mine. I also love the idea of the pre-postaged pre-addressed envelopes! Tres...
