    Howard apparently modeled them after the Iriquois. That's also the guidance in the Conan d20 RPG (mongoose).

    [GRIM TALES] Wulf Ratbane's SLAVELORDS of CYDONIA

    T. Rawley leans back against the wall behind him, keeping his hands where everyone can see them. "Haskins," he says, loud enough for everyone to hear. "Can I get that tobacco pouch you were bragging about earlier?" To Joshua: "I reckon these gentlemen are only rightly skittish given the...

    Right. But be sure to read the character creation guidelines. You need this character created for 3rd, 8th and 12th level.

    My brain isn't working well this morning... What's FDH? For HP, take the full amount for 1st level and roll for the other levels. I trust you. :) As for the detail at each level, just make sure you have a full character (feats, talents, skills, etc) and a base set of equipment. Before each...

    Yep. Sounds fun. Lemme know what you come up with.

    Updated with 'skull' level. Let me know if I missed anything. And tell your friends! Not much interest, it seems. Not sure if the concept is too weird or what.

    Star Wars quotes you never want to hear while having sex

    "He will join us or die, my master." "Captain, being held by you isn't quite enough to get me excited." "Sorry sweetheart. I haven't got time for anything else." "Well Princess, it looks like you managed to keep me here a while longer." "Impressive. Most impressive. Obi-wan has taught you well."...

    I just started looking at that last night. I'll translate my notes into more guidance tonight. Your input is more than welcome on this, as well. If you give me an idea of your 'ideal' character, I'll morph that into campaign law. (how do you like that for great power == great responsibility?)

    [GRIM TALES] Wulf Ratbane's SLAVELORDS of CYDONIA

    T. Rawley drags the last of the group from the hole and lurches to his feet. "Let's go!" he yells, pushing from the back. "This whole place is coming down! Haskins: I'm really going to need that smoke when we get out of here." Rawley's heading for the door out of this place.

    [GRIM TALES] Wulf Ratbane's SLAVELORDS of CYDONIA

    Fortitude Save - Natural 20! "Aaagh!" T. Rawley yells, slapping snakes off of him as he scrambles through the opening. "Son of a b****, they're all over me!"

    --Thanks bobitron! I know you're busy... Shatterstone - Well, GT characters get a class bonus to armor class, as d20 Modern, and armor works a little different in GT, so I don't see a problem with it. I'm assuming you're suggesting the Parry mechanic in the d20 Conan book. Si o no? I've...

    What kind of hero do you prefer in fantasy/sci-fi? [edited thread]

    My favorite kind of stories have different character types, as far as powerful/normal/wimp, but have similar themes: Kick the hero in the head until that point where he says, "I'm not gonna take it anymore!" One of my favorite implementations of this story was Shardik by Richard Adams. The...

    I really enjoy Robert E. Howard's Conan stories, as many of us do. In that vein, I'd like to run a PbP game that has a different angle from either a fluid, open-ended campaign, or a plod-through-the-adventures railroad. Here's my angle: - Short one-off adventures that span time and all of...

    [GRIM TALES] Wulf Ratbane's SLAVELORDS of CYDONIA

    At Bill's yell, Rawley runs for the exit. Diving onto his belly, he starts to wriggle through. (The irony not lost on him.) "Like a snake, the intrepid newspaperman slithered through the confines of the living rock, it shattering around him," he says. "That's not too bad, Brindle. I'll get a...

    Searching For Online Workout Information

    I used bodybuilder.com. There's a section on exercises that shows a super buff guy with pointers to all his muscle groups. Those links lead to specific exercises for those muscle groups. Don't be scared off by the web site address and the images on the site. There are a lot of good 'regular joe'...

    Sleuths Crack Tracking Code Discovered in Color Printers

    I think it's more of a thought process that normal everyday people don't really subscribe to: It's the foundation of something much more evil. Sure, they can track anything that's printed back to a printer. Yay! Helps us stop counterfeiters. More power to them! Okay, so they can track my elf...

    Canadian high school football?

    I went to High School in Texas and football IS REALITY. If you've seen Friday Night Lights, that's how football was revered in my school, except that we never won a game...or rarely, anyway.
