In the campaign I am currently running: Bard - Rapier Rogue/Fighter - Rapier Paladin - Rapier (BORING!) Monk - Unarmed (of course) Fighter - He left his village with one of his father's mining hammers. He's recently taken it to a blacksmith to have it reforged into the largest bludgeoning...

The quiz says I be Mad Jack Rackham. Though methinks Mad Bran Blackbyrd (pronounced blackbeard in this particular instance, of course) be more appropriate. Arrrr!

The problem with this is that a lot of people are either misspelling words or using them in the wrong context. Your brain is going to stumble over a word that isn't supposed to be there in the first place. In order for this to work, that is, in order for you to properly misspell a word, you...

Sypha Belnades, the spellcaster, was not dead, she was turned into stone by a cyclops (you gained her as a character if you defeated it). Lightning was the best, even though it looked nothing like lightning... If you had ice in that level with the river you could freeze the whole thing. If you...

Well, it's probably the black sheep in the Castlevania series, but Simon's Quest had a number of different whips. Leather, chain, thorn, and flaming! Mmm, Flaming Scourge of Disruption.

It doesn't matter, to a certain extent. I wouldn't recommend spending 30+ dollars on a large dragon mini and then trying to make it a masterpiece with no prior mini painting experience. :) The first minis I painted were a set of skeletons. It taught me very quickly how to properly use the...

Reaper's Dark Heaven and Warlord miniature lines are awesome. Remove the flash and mold lines before painting. If you don't, you'll someday look back at your first minis and say, "If I had cleaned this up, I wouldn't have spent hours painting it only to have it look like a baboon's butt." Hobby...

Serpent Mound is indeed in southern Ohio. One of these days I'll get down there to actually have a look at it. I'll add the Mansfield Reformatory to the list of Ohio's creepy sites.

Heh. Yeah, and doing a search on killer clowns is useless because all you get are links about this movie! :p Ah Wright-Patterson... The stories you hear about that place. :) The Haunted Ohio books by Chris Woodyard are a good source of "true" Ohio Ghost Stories. No boogie men or sasquatch...

I could easily see that as being a factor in the hysteria. If the movie The Exorcist freaked people out as badly as it did, then one would have to assume that revelations of a real life serial murderer would unsettle the public at least as much. Coming out of the 70's it seems like there were a...

Ema's Homepage Go to the sheets section, there's a D20 Modern screen near the bottom of the list. David Maple's screen was posted here a few months ago in both landscape and portrait format. Since then there have been quite a few people popping into the chat room looking for a screen. We need...

Welcome to the Buckeye State. :D

There was a rash of "killer clown" sightings across the United States during the 80's. Most of these sightings involved men in clown makeup and riding in vans. The vans were usually spotted near playgrounds and schools. Sometimes the clowns tried to lure children into the van, brandished knives...

Nothing shakes things up like calling religion into question. Maybe an illithid manipulated Joan of Arc, or was directly responsible for the "Our Lady of Fatima" incidents. Assassinations, the Inquisition, the rise of Napoleon. Maybe the puritans were aware of rampant illithid influence in...

Hehe. Interesting; I have been planning on running a D20 Modern campaign that will start in the present and end up in WW2 era Europe. The PCs will have to try to stop the Axis' attempts to successfully develop super-weapons made using technology recovered from the Tunguska incident...

Secret Garden - Songs From A Secret Garden would probably suit your purposes (not the showtunes from the musical :)). Only a few of the tunes have vocals and they are minimal. Maybe a few "haunting celtic phrases" in a whole track. I haven't had the pleasure of hearing their other albums, but if...

So the impression I'm getting is that more than 50% of the posts are people saying that a particular book was fine, it just wasn't their cup of tea; and for that reason the book in question was "one of the worst"? Come on! For example; I don't own the Manual of the Planes because I do not yet...

I've heard of this before. Some people can actually keep track of what cards have already been used and what is still in the deck and know the odds of on which card will show up if another card is showing, etc... A well known mentalist, The Amazing Kreskin, is apparently not allowed in casinos...

I'm pretty sure that it is against the rules here to advocate piracy. Tsk, tsk, tsk.

So would you be a Dire Gamer, or an Axiomatic Gamer, or simply a regular gamer with above average stats? ;)
