Since the advent of 3E, I've wanted to run Bruce Cordell's Illithiad trilogy again. The first installment was actually the first published adventure I ever ran. Giant Cockroach stats would be essential on Penumbra. That was a way creepy encounter.

Ranger5/Psion5/Wizard7/Psimagus2. I voted wizard. Damn! I just remembered - my MOST recent PC (I usually DM) is my Druid 2. Oh well.

The Staff of the Raven: The top of this six-foot long darkwood staff bears a distinctive, life-sized image of two ravens, back-to-back, wings outspread. The wielder of this staff, even a wielder without spellcasting ability of any kind, may cause any or all ravens, crows, or raven swarms within...

I have a hard time picking favorite Beatles songs - after all, they are BEATLES' SONGS! I'm a fanatic. I love the Beatles. They're better than RPGs. Oh, and Crothian, this song, IIRC, was drawn from a magical item in Ringo's pre-1st ed D&D game.

Before Vecna was a god, he was a lich. Before that, a man, and a king. I once read of one of an incident from his days amongst the living. This is how I remember it. While conquering the countryside, he once encountered a town that refused to surrender to his army. They insisted on fighting...

So I was thinking of rewarding myself for graduating, too, since my diploma finally came (B.A. English/Linguistics). Does this mean I should plan on buying two game books, one REALLY expensive one, or just picking one cheap book and actually buying it?

Snow White, with Sigourney Weaver, and when it comes down to it, the original Alien. Children of the Damned Carrie's mother and John Travolta's character are both scary in Carrie.

There's Korean horror, too, you know: A Tale of Two Sisters was super-creepy, and is due to be remade for the American audience. Nosferatu is an undeniable classic. House of 1000 Corpses got panned, but I was extreamly creeped out by it and after you get used to it, it's still a great...

I think you may have remarked on this before. I agree.

In the bible, Noah builds a boat beacuse it rains for 40 days and 40 nights. Moses leads the Israelites around in the desert for 40 years. Everything's all about 40. That's because the ancient Hebrews used the number "forty" idiomatically to mean "a lot." If the bible had been written by...

Me three, but alsih2o, you have no links that I've noticed. Where can I buy this pottery everyone raves about? My wife's birthday is coming up in just under a month.

VirgilCaine, Alikaba's theft is from The Book of Eldritch Might III: The Nexus, and presumably also appears in The Complete Book of Eldritch Might, both by Monte Cook, from Malhavoc Press/Sword & Sorcery Studios/White Wolf. Corvidae, I had planned to include the Owl's Wisdom spell in this staff...

Finders' Bane? I've never heard of it, and I was a Planescape fanatic before AD&D died its overdue death. Can somebody fill me in here?

Is "viable" good enough, though, or do we want to shoot for "tough to decide. . . this or broken new power-gamer/role-player's dream cool prestige class?"

Congrats! Life is good when you're a D&D player, but better (and harder) when you're the DM.

My wife's favorites: morphing weapon quality, along with (houserule:) everlasting quality HHH is everybody's fav Ring of Sustenance

Joe, your signature still says that you're in Texas. Are you and Suzi back from India?BTW, I am still drafting. Slowly but surely, I'll get the book written. Wow! Those glazes are beautiful! Taking out this one step, what does that mean to the whole production process? How much...

Very few pay phones still ring, at least around here, but occasionally one will ring near me. Invariably, folks around me adopt expressions of amusement/worry/scandal/confusion. I usually answer. As yet, it has never been for me, so far as I can remember. Occasionally, it is for someone...

My wife ran this mod. I did not. Her advice: THEY'RE ALL NUTTERS. They don't have to leave the moathouse. There's stuff they want there. They can make sure that the party doesn't bring back reinforcements by holding a tea party outside the moathouse, serve mudpies and kill a hare in heat, a...

I am to report to jury duty tomorrow for the first time ever. Now, I'm 31 years old, have been a registered voter since I turned 18. I've received summons in the mail before, been never actually been required to appear. Unlike most people with whom I'm acquainted, and unlike the typical...
