    [new spell] Teppin's Vortex of Unreality

    Maybe 10' radius, bumping both normal and Wisdom damage down to d4 dice, and leaving it at 3rd level?

    I could use some help... immediately!

    Bah, that's only CR 6. They're a level 3 party with good stats. They'll be fine, with just the weeist bit of tactical thinking, and maybe a bit of scouting could do them good if they're up to that sort of thing. They all have high HP classes except for the rogue, so they'll be able to take on...

    NC Game Day - Important new info!

    Attention Drayan and Queldonous! I've spoken to Henry and Tim about what they want to play in the Feng Shui game. Henry will be portraying an Everyman Hero, Hopping Vampire an Old Master. I think those two types will demonstrate the Fortune Dice and Kung Fu Schticks aspects of the system quite...

    Half fey ninja with a katana. Human ranger with a long sword and dagger. Human samurai with a rapier and shield. Human wizard with a herd of celestial bison. And coming up... Human paladin with a warhammer. Half-Orc barbarian with a greataxe. Elf Rogue with a short sword. Human wizard with...

    [Pricing] Ring of Transport--cost?

    Thanks for the calculations, James. :) I too advised them to keep it, and they have yet to sell it--besides, it doesn't technically belong to them in any case. However, I like to be prepared for this sort of thing, as breaking a session for 15 minutes of book-flipping and calculator-punching is...

    [Pricing] Ring of Transport--cost?

    A few sessions ago, the PCs acquired a ring that let the wearer either Teleport or Planeshift once per day, as per the spell by a 15th level Wizard. Note that both cannot be used in the same day. Recently the players have gained access to more reliable transportation magic, and are thinking of...

    My Fix to Scry-Buff-Teleport

    What's wrong with scry-buff-teleport? How does it make the game less fun? How will your players react? Do your players use SBT? Do your bad guys use SBT? On the players? If so, how have they reacted? How do your bad guys react when your players use it? Just some questions to get you thinking...

    49 Foot 990 pound Pyton caught, NOT! - NOW 21 feet!

    Damn! That's still a world record, even if their measures are off by morethan 10 feet and 300 pounds!

    New Year's (Gaming) Resolutions

    What Fantasy rpg's, other than D&D, do people enjoy?

    Doh. I left out HeroQuest, stupid of me to forget, really. Excellent Narrativist game set in the same world as Hero Wars, RuneQuest, and a few others--Glorantha, specifically. It's also quite portable to other settings, and there's always a discussion going on about some conversion of it or...

    What Fantasy rpg's, other than D&D, do people enjoy?

    The Riddle of Steel and Exalted are both great, for completely different reasons. You can find a link to Riddle in Paka's sig. Sorcer, with the supplement Sorcerer and Sword, is supposed to be excellent, although I've never played it myself. Clinton Nixon's Donjon is also a barrel of laughs, and...

    I Think You Cracked the Ceiling

    I love destroying the environment, and especially describing spells. Sonics tear buildings of alabaster and marble to the floor in seconds and give a pounding headache to everyone within a few miles. Fire ignites all flammables and can do some serious continuous damage, and lightning often has...

    NC Game Day - Important new info!

    Hell, I'm pretty sure that a good portion of those attending are of the old skool variety. The real minority seems to be us young whippersnappers, of which there are two. Sometimes three.

    Names - What are the best you've used or heard?

    I'm all for anything lifted out of a random passage in Beowulf. F'rex, Corlon recently asked me to draft a cartograph for an upcoming game of his, and name things whatever I like. Excellent. So I whip out my Heaney (that is NOT a euphamism, damn it) and turn to a random page, and we end up with...

    Capturing someone alive

    I'd just hit him with normal weapons until he's looking rather spotty, then start using the -4 to hit thing. Or the party wizard (or whatever) could seek out a Rod of Subdual Substitution, or just take the metamagic feat...a Wand of Subdual Fireball or whatever should also work. But then...
