    Political Hierarchy of Medieval Kingdoms

    Well... hmm If you haven't looked at Wikipedia, you're really missing something. First, there's really no such thing as the run of the mill midieval kingdom. Each place really did it differently. The wasting away of the Western Roman Empire in the 5th century left a number of very large...

    Seeking Resources on Nobility

    Seignurial system I let slip the dogs of Google, and came up with MANY links to Hereditary titles, and seignurial systems (whether French or not). The best listing was Wiki though, because it was broken down into Western and Non-western.

    Known Booze

    I'm sure you mean published D&D.. In our FR campaign we had a super-luxury wine that is found in all the best Dragon hoards, BBEG lairs, purveyors to the King Chateau du Brise-Crete, purveyors of wine to the Royal Family of Cormyr. Several GP per glass, a good way to seperate players from...

    [Meta-Troll]

    The threadjack the Fan Boy is waiting for. Multi-page, multi-tiered threat that WILL actually be presented in court to clinch that Restraining Order. The rant spills over into an incoherent statements about Firefily, and that Joss Whedon is the single greatest human being EVAR, but ends...

    I have PHB I

    First analysis Boy the Rogue sure is overpowered... way too many skill points. Rangers and Paladins got hosed, and the bit about attacks of opportunity is pretty confusing... Maybe it will be a little clearer when I have actual miniatures in front of me.

    [Meta-Troll]

    I get angry about the reason for the post, stating that this isn't how it used to be done here at ENWorld, pointing to my registration date so that you all know I'm old school.

    Help Me "Tweak" the Hundred Years War and Black Death

    I second the idea that you should read Barbara Tuchman's book. One earlier post stated that high level characters are "immune" for all practical purposes. High level characters should be just as subject to the disease as others. The Hundred-Years war didn't cause the Black Death...

    Games you were turned off of and why

    Rolemaster is a game written by lawyers to be played by accountants. My image of hell is having to constantly do math to see if I hit something. I don't care if I took out somebody's eye doing it. I want to put out my own eyes having to read 4pt. text all day and night.

    Any female game masters?

    Jen is the best DM I've ever played with. She's part Martha Stewart, part Joan Jett. I don't know how she does it, but her games are incredibly detailed, and not just a little frightening. All hail the mighty GlareMistress.

    Quaint/cute British place names

    the best place name I've ever encountered was from Stephenson's Cryptonomicon... Inner and Outer Qwghlm. I'd have to use them in a campaign.

    Pardon my ignorance, but...

    I'm not sure how Swift and Immediate actions fit into a game. It just seems like a needless complication. Rule 0 "Begone Foul Abberation"

    Getting Your Comrade's Body from the Ocean Floor

    I agree... the summon spell would probably work the best. Especially If you could somehow extend the spell long enough for the celestial *insert swimming thing here* to get the body back to the surface.

    Bard questions: My Players stay out

    Inspire Courage "must be able to hear the bard..." In the game I play in, our DM has given me a little leeway with regards to that... in 3.0 the requirement was 60' IIRC. She never made our players roll a listen check, but if you're 90' out and in the middle of melee, I'd start dusting off...

    Timetravel for characters....

    Thread Necromancy Now I want to know how this story turned out. ;) I was a player in a game that had some time travel in it. I was given a ring of three wishes, I blew two of the wishes on getting back to an event that had occured a week previous. Basically, I had 24 hours to stop my...
