The innkeeper came forward to speak with Norgrim, extending a hand to help him up. "Brave o' ye ta try and get my Daisy back, dwarf," he said, "but I'm afraid there's jus' nothin' for it but ta pay their ransom, now. "It's good ta know tha' even in these dark times, some will still stand up fer...

What's an RG?

Toughness Test: 1d100=35 Success! Holding his ankle and gritting his teeth against the pain, Norgrim hovered on the edge of consciousness. The wounds in his arm and leg throbbed with a hot, mind-numbing pain, but at least the bleeding had stopped. Hesitantly, the innkeeper's remaining daughter...

I love the character, WD! He'll add a great element of urban grittiness to the story, if I guess the direction you're taking him correctly. As promised, I'd like to start up again now. When last we left off, the group had decided to visit Benefit. So who's driving, and what kind of car is it*...

Yeah, there are many variations, but at least use some of the awesomeness of folklore. Barbegazi are maybe too silly for everyone's campaign, but German kobolds are a creepy sort of awesome (come to think of it, does D&D have even one household spirit?). Or let's just take water nymphs, for one...

Yeah, that's why I've never had high hopes for D&D halflings. I always think of them as Tolkein halflings, myself, but I understand why neither TSR nor WOTC could do that. But taking gnomes and making them hobbits ruins two good fantasy creatures, rather than having one lame one. The effect on...

I'm a gnome lover, and I thoroughly register my nerdrage at this idea. :) The small races couldn't be more distinct in my mind. Gnomes are good-natured forest people with beards, conical hats, animal friends, and a penchant for illusions. Halflings live in shires, eat too much, have hairy feet...

Gnomes look like this. Whizzbang, was it you who made the comparison of gnomes to the rabbits in Watership Down? It's an absolutely inspired way of looking at gnomes, and what I've been using ever since.

Both, ideally! :lol: Of course they cat call at the magic-user, because that's fun! See? You're getting the hang of this already. The point is not to coerce the PCs into interacting with every random encounter. The point is to give the DM a jumping-off point for delivering a plot hook...

Solveig's Bluff (1/2 Fellowship):1d100=4 Thugs' Willpower:1d100=50, 1d100=55, 1d100=16 "No gamon, mot?" said one of the thugs, his cutlass still dripping with the dwarf's blood. "I ain't the kind o' lurch ta get hooked." "Righto," agreed another, wiping his blade. "We's had a chat wit' the...

Can a re-issue of FASERIP be far behind? Aww, just thinking about that made me realize how unrealistic a hope that is. I have made myself sad.

No worries. Interest may have petered out, but I'm happy to keep going with it if others are. Solveig is up next in initiative order, if The Digger is still interested.

Right now the group has Mind 2, Prime 3, Time 1, Death 1, Forces 1, Life 2, Spirit 2, Life 3, and Spirit 3, so we're light on Fate, Matter, and Space, if you want to make the decision on that basis. The plot is veering toward Spirit-based phenomena, though, so consider that. Remember that I've...

Absolutely! If you still like the character you posted a few months back, we can go ahead and introduce him when the characters get to Benefit. You're also more than welcome to make up a new character concept if you like. I'd like to start running things again a week from today, but we can add...

I just mean that, while I don't really care for body slots, there's no reason you couldn't use both rules if you like. I'm fine with a player wearing 10 rings, 8 amulets, a shirt and a vest together, or whatever, as long as it isn't too silly. No wearing two pairs of boots, for instance. Maybe...

The magic item part is just directly porting the rule over from Mage; I was thinking of it as an alternate strategy for reducing the "Christmas Tree" effect. Managing enchanted equipment versus spells you can have on your person adds a little level of resource management. And, yeah, I'd like...

This is the key balancing factor in Mage: The Awakening, and it's absolutely brilliant. Each mage can have a moderate number of spells active at once (4-6 for a beginning mage) and a (usually) smaller number of spells on his person based on Stamina. It would be great to see that ported over to...

That works for me. It's pretty clearly the cusp of a new scene, so it's a good time for characters to come in and out of the game.

Because courtly love, mercenaries, and attitudes toward sex are very similar topics...:erm: Keep up the good work, SHARK. All three are good threads for those of us who like setting detail and huge, Gygaxian tables. I took a class a few years ago on the history of love in the arts, and...

Nothing yet. Every once in a while someone on the White Wolf forums comes around looking for a game, and I extend an invitation, but openly advertising games is kind of frowned upon there. :-S Ooh, sorry to hear that. I work in computer support, and fix five or six laptops a week, so if you...
