TWO threads!! And mostly they're not even on the first page...

Too cool. I want it for my Seer/Cleric (Vow of Peace) at 15th level - fits her flavour beautifully, as we were thinking of giving her this as a psi-power anyway. I think that a permanent +1 (and Insight, pretty rare bonus) to two things is probably too good though, even with the RB potential of...

Anybody home? :D

Update: I'm running the first session of my swashbuckling game on Saturday. I have 2 PCs - my two scary DMs! - and the intro session will be a 1 or 2hr vignette to get to know the PCs a little. I have NPCs to invent! (And I feel like I have to do something interesting in the prologue, even if...

Okay, I've been messing with secrets, religion, monsters, and Big Plot Ideas. Now we get to the thing I'm really bad at: maps, and the little bits of information that I need to run the first game. In my head, the Isles are big, with more square miles of sea than land within the territory, so I...

Hmm, I'm level 2 and kobolds can still whup me good (quite aside from the fact that I don't have the money to get healed or buy better equipment)...

Well, there are a lot of whistles left - I'm imagining a large number of whistles all playing different notes, which when all played together awaken the demon who laid waste to the Fey lands, and was imprisoned there about four thousand years back. I can picture the church using them again to...

Ye-es... knowing their background... yes, the lady of the night is very likely to be someone that both PCs know quite well. :D :cool: LOL yeah!! True true. I'd quite like to put the 5-year-old in it though somehow! :) Another very nice idea indeed - how to get the collar off the dog without...

Hmm, lots of cool ideas here. Whistle - my thought is that it's one of many similar-looking whistles which all play subtly different notes. It's the harmony (plus magic of course) that opens the gate, although this is a legendary-magic sort of world, I'm not making magic available to the PCs...

No direct experience but trying to do much the same thing in my game - thus far I've just flat disallowed all classes but rogue (it's a swashbuckling game) and I'll build magic as we need it, I guess. :)

Hi Hand of Evil - inclined to let the PCs figure out their own tactics! I like the "key" idea. The whistle is a key - and they need all the keys (some mystic number, seven maybe, or 13) to open a gate to the Grey Lands - wasted plane of the Fey - and find something powerful down there. Of...

Having a character so significant that her death results in sleepless nights and tears. Feeling like a hero. Planning character advancement. Planning future sessions. A relaxed atmosphere, junk food, nice tea, and laughing with my friends. Any moment that makes all of us go, "Wow! That's really...

S'mon, StalkingBlue, that means you! If you're reading this, STOP NOW! Right, got that out of the way. :) I'm starting a new, swashbuckling game with two players. They have really cool character concepts, both petty criminals with connections to the same local thieves' guild and some past...

I'm shaking as I bathe. Terrified. Hot water, soap, strange scents - I can't get my mind off the act I'm putting on, how I can't see any way to carry it off. Zana could do it. Zana's brave and tough. Vorne is going to see through me in a second. And kill me the second after. They've put the...

:D Keep that in mind! (I'm starting to get to know a few female gamers from the "goth crowd" I hang out with but I'm not sure if they're D&D oriented. Maybe I should make an LJ post, actually...)

+2 to attack when on ships? :eek: Yikes, that's a bit too good! +1 IMC, I think. :)

Xiang's style and Cailin's style aren't really that similar, here. :D As for Leo, the problem with him is that all the information you get from him is filtered through a high-paranoia mind. This isn't necessarily that useful from an information broker point of view. ;) I know a druid or two...

Bonus feats might work, yeah - and if near-everyone's a rogue I don't necessarily have to worry about the power-level hike. :D There will also be some character background/profession things that will determine your starting cash, give you a handful of free skill ranks and in some cases an extra...

Calico, I'm sure Skull & Bones is great, but I don't have it and am extremely low on funds right now - so I'm pretty much limited to rulesets that I either own already or can borrow. I don't know of anybody who's got it, so right now it's not an option. Thanks for the recommendation, though -...

Um.... yup, I still have your copy of Quint Rogue. (Hopefully I'll have time to nip home and pick it up before tonight's game.) From memory there's a Pirate archetype. :) Along with allowing all skills as class skills and Weapon Spec (and GWF and GWS, I guess, though rogues don't really have...
