    ENworld eye for the troll guy

    How about making it bigfoot? There are tons of legends about bigfoot/sasquatch floating around the net. You could easily rip off some of those for your critter. Big, hairy, wild man of the woods kind of critter. Or to really scare your players, you could make it look like a large dragon. That...

    (Win pdf books!) Now closed (except for some book-keeping)

    I ran a fun dragon encounter recently for my party. The best part was that the dragon was "dead" when they found it. :D The party was exploring a dungeon complex that they knew was the lair of a dragon who worshipped Tiamat. They were suitably worried. They had also been told that this dragon...

    Mad God's Key - Chapter One

    Irontusk listens to Llhuna and Urkulyr discuss his future demise. His eyes slowly grow wider and wider. Suddenly he erupts in laughter! "Haw! Haw! Haw! You two oughta take dat act on da road!" his eyes stream with tears as he rolls on the dock in obvious mocking laughter. He mimics Urkulyr's...

    Soooooo windy!

    Q: Why is it so windy in the Midwest? A: Chicago sucks! Sorry, old joke. :D It's so windy here in Ohio today my ballcap literally flew right off my head. I had to chase it across the lot this morning, which is a pretty funny sight.

    moldy bread and the seductress

    See, from the title of the thread, I thought the need for penicillin was going to tied to the appearance of the seductress. Which would have been much naughtier, but still just as funny. :D

    Shadowrunners chime in

    Been playing since the day 1e hit the shelves. I was actually interested before that though since I picked up their original promotional braided anthology "Into the Shadows" before the game was released. I have every product ever published for the game (literally). And I have used them all...

    Can you spot the fake smile?

    14/20 - the eyes are always the tell. This test made made substantially harder by the freaky-looking people they used as models! On the fairly normal looking people I got it right every time. The odder the person looked (There's one there about halfway through, where I couldn't even identify the...

    anyone know much about loans?

    The secnario you've described here sounds like over half the loans I worked on in the last year. Up front, let me say that until September of 2005, I was a lisenced Loan Officer in the state of Ohio. I am 100% certain that AR real estate laws are substnatially different from OH, and I KNOW the...

    Mad God's Key - Chapter One

    Irontusk's eyes flicker toward his kunckles. You follow his gaze, and realize that he is missing his little finger on his left hand. Then his eyes catch yours and he slowly smiles. "If yer tryin' to scare me. You'll have to do better'n dat!" OOC: I gave you a +2 bonus, as it seemed that Llhuna...

    "1-shot" Games

    For one-shots, I like games that seem to be designed to end quickly. CoC has already been mentioned, and it's always a good choice. I dig X-Crawl as a player or GM for the same reason. :If you die, you DIE. Year of the Zombie is likely to be my next one shot. I probably will run the Independance...

    I have a question???

    According to the never aired final episode, it turned out that Venger was actually Dungeon Master's son! He looked twisted and was evil becuase he had been cursed. No idea where to find stats for him though.

    Mad God's Key - Chapter One

    The metallic flames leap from Urkulyr's hand to encircle the brow of the fallen Irontusk. Slowly, the unconcious half-orc's eyes begin to flicker open. He starts to bolt upright, as if to flee again, but seeing that he is well surrounded, he slumps back to the dock in defeat. He folds his arms...

    Wacky workplace "amenities"

    Free cocoa? Showers? Heck I just started a new job last week, and I'm ecstatic because I actually have an office with a DOOR! First time I haven't been a cubical farmer in 15 years!

    (Win pdf books!) Week 1 complete. Click in first post for link to the week 2 thread.

    Personally, I don't think that people's complaints with Epic levels stem so much from the (admitedly weak) mechanics in the ELH, as much as from the utter lack of anything really "epic" to do. When I think of Epic adventure, I envision quests to save entire planes of existance, world-spanning...

    Mad God's Key - Chapter One

    As Kel drags the water-logged half-orc up on shore, Eldred finally joins the group on the dock. "I ... have ... had ... a ... vision!" the winded wizard pants. "You all must speak to this half-orc and carry on the quest for the key, but I am needed elsewhere." Eldred pauses and looks at...
