I'm married, have a child, work 60 or more hours a week, am active in local and state politics, own or part own three businesses (all with employees), and have other hobbies. But, procrastination is still the only real reason I'm not ready. Sure there's things going on, but even when I have...

Boy I looked through my kobolds, and I have dozens, and no musicians. The closest I found was a pig orc musician from the old minifigs line that thanks to scale creep and poor sculpting now passes as a kobold. I hate to say it but converting will be your best bet. Fortunately its easy to put a...

I do , but more for the meat than the thrill of the hunt.

Old dog kobold or new dragon ones?

Gordon Lightfoot's Wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald and Don Maclean's American Pie are the two examples I used to use for players to explain what a ballad was.

Hypersmurf thank you. The 25% matches what I had already house ruled but I was curious to see if there was anything offiical.

Are there any official WoTC rules for changing ranges for missle weapons when the size changes? For example is the range increment for a small short bow different than a medium?

For one game I put a steel ball bearing on the table in front of my screen and covered it with a paper cup labeled "don't touch". Then I taped a strong magnet to my knee. When the players arrived I was already sitting behind the screen and warned them them not to touch the cup as it was a prop...

All of this discussion makes me wonder if the business models for RPGs isn't bass ackwards. Much as the D&D computer and book sales have exceeded the actual game's, I have begun to suspect that the key to making money might be developing the intellectual properties related to RPGs. After all...

By the end of the first century AD a Roman foot soldier's pay was only 300 seterces a year, though an officers would certainly exceed the 1,000 given above. At 10,000 sesterces this mean a mile of road is equivalent to the annual pay of thirty or so foot soldiers. Maintenance on modern roads...

IMC the undead are still bound to their bodies. Yes cemetaries could be looted but cremation and other techniques leave the spirits "homeless" and makes them easier to capture by those with a bent for necromancy. Also as has already been said those buried in cemetaries will have received rites...

We've tried a few times using voice over internet and cheap web cams. The results were mixed with the largest problems being a slight lag that definetly kept the electronic players a step behind and a tendency to ignore the e-players, especially when we used a split comp screen to show more than...

It was a movie - Island at the Top of the World. Full of vikings and an airship, it still strikes me as a great game style move. From there I read mythology, and out of that grew an interest that got me exposed to D&D. But that was in the mid 70's and there was no fantasy literature to be found...

Every fall when I start up my homebrew I give the players a viewing and reading list to help set the mood. The movie list for the current game is; Brotherhood of the Wolf Name of The Rose The Order (Not the Van Dam one) Witch Hunter General (with Vincent Price) Black Adder Season II A Man for...

IMC the clerics of the death god get the same weapons as a wizard and gain Improved Unarmed Strike representing the touch of death. Another cult uses a low level poison with a range of 5 that is blown from the hand and called Death's Kiss. However you do it the weapon should represent some...

Now I've got to include Abjuros the Great as the next lich in my game.

How about knocking an open bottle of paint down, splattering an entire unit of nearly painted figs? I've done that more than once (or twice). Recently though I had a figure for CoC that had been sitting on my prep shelf for several weeks because I couldn't come up with a good paint scheme...

back in college I had a weekly campaign that over the course of the year had slowly grown out of control, with ninbe or ten players attending weekly and three or four more shoowing up sporadically. All wanted something a little different from the game and I was really struggling to keep everyone...

I just spent an hour extracting the relevant rules from several PDFs. Out of a hundred or so pages I consolidated the actual rules for which I bought them to four and a half pages. The rest was some fluff, but mainly space wasting the likes of which I used when I was writing papers in high...

There was an old series (c. 1980) that included a book titled "Billi of the Axe". The series was called Horselords or something similar and had several books. I haven't read them in years but I do remember recognizing some ideas and characters from the series in 2nd ed Gamma World.
