She's a marketing consultant. Dangerous folks, marketing consultants. :D She's a Cleric 3/Monk 2. The Monk levels represent the self defence classes she takes every week. Her deity is Mammon. And of course she's a negative channeller, because as a marketing consultant she's used to...

Spyscribe's Welcome to the Halmae may not be old enough to qualify as a classic, but IMO it's among the best on the boards.

And in a few months I'll probably leave and come back again. In the mean time: X-Path 3 begins!

Prologue Johnson shifted nervously from foot to foot as the huge, black iron chair descended from above him. General Patton looked cheerful. That always made Johnson uneasy. "Johnson. What's the word on Operation Whack-a-Mole?" The nervous executive suppressed a sigh of relief. So it was...

I loved the concept of dungeoneering as an extreme sport, but was not enamored of the X-Crawl setting itself. North America recast as a latter day Roman Empire? Yawn. I yoinked the basic concept for my X-Path games, but completely ignored X-Crawl itself in favour of using a less extreme (but...

Click on the Company of the Random Encounter link in my sig and check out any posts that have subject lines which name WotC free adventures. More details than you could possibly want! :)

We had fun with Burning Plague, Something's Cooking and a couple of the other free WotC adventures in our Company of the Random Encounter campaign, but (1) it was a very light-hearted campaign and (2) I made quite a few embellishments, extensions and alterations to the modules. I generally find...

I would totally play this if it existed :D

This supposes that you know what is being cast. Otherwise it is just some stranger casting a spell at you. I don't think that all NPCs should go around with actions readied to bop anyone who starts casting spells, but I do think they have a right to react when a stranger starts casting in...

Yep, that was me.

Burne is some funny stuff. Halmae is very good stuff, though more drama than comedy. Maure Money is very new, but quite amusing.

Actually, if you just treat stats as part of a probability curve, I'm sure there are numerous 17s and 18s on the boards. Even rolling a straight 3d6 for stats, the chance of a 17 or 18 is 4 in 216, or nearly 2%. So in other words, a 17 or 18 Int just means you're in the top 2% of 'ordinary'...

I love Iron Heroes dearly, but it is not "low power". Even "low magic" is a dubious claim (the PCs don't get much, but monsters are unchanged). Also, it's a new game, not a new setting: it changes lots of rules, has no psionics and has very minimal setting notes. So it is inappropriate for...

I'm looking for players for an Iron Heroes campaign. You can learn more about Iron Heroes here. I'm only interested in players who are reliably available for 2 sessions a month, running for 3-4 hours a session on either a Saturday or Sunday (exact schedule to be worked out with the players...

"Actually, we knocked. Twice. And you said to come round the back and come in. Even a vampire would consider than an invitation." :) On another note: spyscribe I am foolish and have lost your e-mail address. Can you drop me a line at crowroadaw (at) yahoo (dot) com (dot) au so I can get it...

It's interesting how different people's perspectives of the Conan stories can be. I think IH does a good job of mimicking the feel of the Conan stories (better than Mongoose's Conan RPG), and I know that they were part of mearls's inspiration for the game ... but other people feel very...

Apparently you've never read my signature block :) I can't discuss details of the new project I'm working on due to non-disclosure issues, but it'll be my 3rd Iron Heroes book. The 1st is out (and linked in my sig) and the 2nd is written and with the publisher. I saw the draft art and maps...

I'm just back from a month long holiday in Europe, so there should be an update in the next week or so. They'll be irregular for at least a couple of months after that, though. I have a new Iron Heroes book to work on, which will be taking most of the time I have where I am not working my day...

Masterwork Characters: Out of the Deep (which I wrote) has both the Coral Sage (a spellcaster PrC based on the common link in mythology between ocean gods and divinatory powers) and the Witch Pirate (though that's aimed more at rogues and bards as it has its own 4-level spell progression)...
