    I killed Orcus!

    More likely the Aspect of an Aspect ;) And even if the Goddess succeded and killed Orcus (unlikely as it may be), we all know what happens if he gets killed. Last time he was new to the Dead God business but I can imagine that he is mightily pissed to do the whole ascenion thing again. Beware...

    Alas, poor Zobeck

    You have no Idea I practically sleep with the Tomes of Horror under my pillow and have been reading "The Book of Vile Darkness" and "Liber Chaotica*" for the last few days . A few days more and I start scribbling comments in read ink on the margins... Doing it all for my Players. My Campaign...

    New May WotC cover art

    You have it right NiTessine, his death and apothesis are what separetes him from two headed canines, overblown arachnids and dark skinned loverboys. :] All Hail to Orcus!

    New May WotC cover art

    Nightfall, it is not YOUR beloved Orcus it is OUR beloved Orcus. He is a Demon God for every lost soul out there! And see it like that: buy the book and know your enemies! Maybe Kiera...whatever got some lines and we know where she hid after our Lord of Undeath kicked her butt our of Thanatos...

    So I'm trying an Evil Character

    Being Evil does not mean doing evil things (like stealing the candy from an orphan) but can also mean doing the right things in an evil way. Your Monk might be a strong advocate of the laws -especially his interpretation of the laws. He might hate thieves and tyrants and the evil wizard next...

    Alas, poor Zobeck

    Though I love Steampunk I voted for the Ghouls! Vampires and Liches always get the glory. Now it is the time of the Ghouls! Hmm, Steampunk Ghouls....

    Wolfgang Baur's Open Design #3 down to Ghouls vs. City-State

    Meself was a City man once but then I saw the Dark Glory of the Undead Empire. I converted. You can do it too. Go and give your brains to the Ghouls! They need em.

    The Inquisition

    Yeah, you can focus a Warhammer campaign around Witchhunters and their Victims. There is even a Fluff only Book about Witchhunters and how to do it: Witch Hunters Handbook Hail to Tzeench the Changer of Ways!

    A Product Showcasing Locations - With Stats or Without?

    I would go with a statless product and free stat downloads for D20, true20 and Runequest. So it is a usefull product even for Gamers who use it for say Warhammer. If it is a print product, the Stats do not take expensive space that could be used for more Fluff.

    Adapting the Lycanthrope Template to +0?

    As a DM a strongly suggest to use the Curse of the Moon Werewolf template or the savage progression one. The MM tmplate is just ugly to use. Did you ever have the situation to spontanously have to make up a hybrid or animal form for a Werewolf NPC? Well, alone the working out for a lo level NPC...

    Books with new base classes?

    I will only mention New Base Classes usable with the Core Books: Monte Cooks Arcana Evolved (all new base classes) Monte Cooks Books of Eldritch Might II or Complete Book of Eldritch Might (new versions of the Sorcerer and the Bard) Monte Cooks Book of Hallowd Might II (New Version of the...

    Orcus "Last Word"

    There is a very good summary of Orcus doings:A brief History of Orcus. This might give some more insight into the last word. All Hail to Orcus!

    WotC "dumbs-down" stuff? What's bad with it?

    The thing is, the WOC developers and designers not only have to cater for the vocal minority on these boards but for all those "unspoken masses" out there. As I see it, the people on these boards mostly belong to the faction of mid twenties to mid thirties. People who play since ages and mostly...

    In Print Fantasy Games

    Indeed it is. But I would NEVER play D&D like this. WH not about killing things and take their stuff to kill more things but all about surviving in a grim world against all odds. As Game Master I am not out to kill the PCs, that is no fun for any of us. I try to give them a "Die Hard" combined...

    In Print Fantasy Games

    After years of D&D my players and me came back to WH. It took some time for us to get into the WH mindset. It started with the complaints about rolling the careers. Then the players were amazed that their PCs died like flies in combat. Well, again the D&D metagameism: If we are 1lvl and meet a...

    Looting and the State

    I think all depends on Powerlevels. If the state is a big nation with a working bureaucracy a standing army and some high level NPCs and the PCs are low level hired mercenaries, the state can enforce taxes. The state does not care if the PCs are angry and they have the Power to enforce taxes. If...

    Magical Item Compendium II-Staffs

    Ahh, mea culpa! Lord Tirian has it right. Only Spellcasters who do not prepare Spells have to use a Slot one level higher. The Sorc. in the campaign I DM has some SKIs. One "Glasses of Darkvison", one "Headband of Togues" and if I remember correctly one "Girdle of Bulls Strength". He loves them...
