    Summoner Luna Lovegood

    I'd love to do Illithid feats, but the DM doesn't want to do psionics. I might be able to convince him to let me convert them though.... the illithid legacy/greater would be easy to convert....charm person, dispel magic, etc...

    Summoner Luna Lovegood

    The short version of my question: If you want to be a summoner-alienist, would you rather be a sorcerer, wizard, or archivist? What feats would you pick to begin with and what spells? Long version: I'm trying to create a Summoner at the core, but I'm basing the flavor on Harry Potter's Luna...

    ..the heck is "Gleemax" on Wotc?

    I still haven't seen anything interesting on the site yet.... No offense to the enworld message boards, but I like checking out the front page of enworld. I like to see all the new cool stuff that is coming out from all the vendors in the industry, the reviews, and the news. For years I...

    I am looking for some cities.

    ack...interesting gem of a city....the website is interesting too... $8.78 for hardback copy of the book that you can't get because it is out of stock or $10.98 for a watermarked pdf from drivethrurpg. I'm liking what I am reading so far...sounds like a nice attempt to bring some of WoD into...

    Forgotten Realms: Mulhorand

    Also Necromancer's Ancient Kingdoms: Mesopotamia is great for Unther. Mulhorand, Thay, Chessenta, Unther, etc (basically anything Mulan) are my favorites countries in FR. Personally I think Unther's mulan purity will probably help during the Unther/Mulhorand war. I think the Unther elite...

Assassin's Apprentice by Robin Hobb Perdido Street Station by China Miéville Nine Princes in Amber, by Roger Zelazny Elric of Melniboné by Michael Moorcock Lord Foul's Bane by Stephen R. Donaldson I'd love to list more...but others are listing...

    OotS #462

    I didn't mind that oots wasn't in the throne room. I guess I assumed the player of Roy was getting to run the good NPCs in the throne room....namely Soon.

    Tarts, Trollops and Vampires: Random Encounters in the City

    I stopped using random encounters when I started trying to have more story to my games. Admittedly I still use them for inspiration typically when I am needing to bridge scenes.

    June - What are you listening to??

    I'm listening to Harry Potter while swimming. Currently I am on the first book again. I think this will be my 6th time to 'read' it.

    Harry Potter, of those out which do you like?

    Order of the Phoenix is my favorite....simply for the DA and Luna Lovegood. I've often wanted to create an Alienist based on Luna Lovegood....make up monsters on the fly in a game.... I wish OoP didn't have any romance in it though...or at least Harry's bumbling at romance.

    Harry Potter, of those out which do you like?

    depends on what they focus on....I could see some people liking the back story on Lord Voldemort...I could see some people liking Ginny & Harry.....I could see others just wanting to see that finale battle at the school with Dumbledore's death. I think it really depends on the final book...

    Weitz Brothers making Elric movie?

    I hope not. I can't stand Orlando Bloom (and it has nothing to do with the fact that he looks like my fiance's ex husband) Now I do like your idea of James Marsters! I think he could do a great job with the role of Elric and I'd love to see him on the big screen.

    Weitz Brothers making Elric movie?

    That is what I am saying....it would turn me off... I think of Elric more in his own thoughts than in his actions.....he rarely has a cause like V...and if we mostly focus on action, such as save Cymoril or over throw Melniboné, it is going to seem more conan than Elric.

    In your experience, is play enhanced by a well-developed setting?

    I voted yes, but I thought I should explain. a well-developed setting is not Forgotten Realms or Eberron straight out of the box. In my mind a well-developed setting is a DM having a firm grip on the world, either canned or homebrewed. Straight out the box settings are just jump starts...

    Weitz Brothers making Elric movie?

    I don't see how it can be done. Elric is a complex character and complex characters usually involve internal dialog. Also being an Anti-hero, it is going to rub the US public wrong. I think as good as it can get is like Pitch Black and at worse it could be Chronicles of Riddick (aka more...

    Harry Potter, of those out which do you like?

    Then take heart that JKR said she was happy that she wouldn't have to write another quidditch game for deathly hollows. I agreed the scoring is messed up. It works to make Seekers look like stars. In a way it reminds me of baseball. The game seems to come down to two people. In quidditch it...

    Harry Potter, of those out which do you like?

    Everyone loves a poll.....which Harry Potter books do you like? I like all of them except Goblet of Fire. It makes no sense to me every time I read it. One example of why I don't think it makes much sense is the contests. Only one of them is good for an audience, the dragon egg snatch. All...
