    Longest Campaign

    Realmwalkers I've only had a chance to play 1 character since 3E came out. We started our campaign about 2 weeks after 3E released. Our campaign is nearing Epic now. Most of the characters are at 17th level or so. We meet 2 or 3 times a month. We're looking to retire the campaign in the...

    Egyptians with Medieval Technology

    In addition Yes, Egypt was a theocracy, but more to the point the Pharaoh was himself a god. If you really want to add some spice, give your Pharaohs divine ranks. The concept of the divinity of the Egyptian rulers began early in the development of the Old Kingdom. The rulers Scorpion and...

    Egyptians with Medieval Technology

    Well it's magic afterall... Since the horses are such great targets, take them out of the equation. If I were an enterprising young mage with a GREAT governement contract to improve the Chariot, I'd try to make horseless chariots. "Your Majesty, if it pleases you, I've taken to calling them...

    Egyptians with Medieval Technology

    Cool Idea Don't know nufin bout no SG1. Never really got into it, but I saw a couple of episodes. If it's anything like the original movie though, then you're probably looking at breastplates with attached Falcon, or Jackal head helmets. One egyptian god, can't remember his name has the head...

    "Modern" things in your game?

    Medieval but moreso Gender Equality natch, the GM is a woman after all... Enlightened Monarchies. Socio-politically our campaign is closer to the 18th Century rather than the 14th. No Racism to speak of. Very cosmopolitan outlook for all of the races. I always thought that the...

    Nigel D. Findley and D&D

    Not specifically about DnD, but that guy owes me payback for what happened to my Poor Street Samurai Barbados Bob, and then for Johnny Q. I always enjoyed his Shadowrun stuff. Rest in Peace brother.

    [August] What are you reading?

    Red Thunder by John Varley Great, breezy summer reading. Fun, not at all realistic. Like a Boy's own trip to Mars. Afterwards, The Incredible Book of Vatican Facts and Papal Curiosities by Nino Lo Bello

    Any Fellow readers of the Mars series by Kim Stanley Robinson?

    Would be nearly impossible to game the Mars trilogy would end up like that movie the Governator made about 10 years ago. How about John Carter "Warlord of Mars"? Venus as a jungle "tarzan-like" world and mars as a desert "arabian adventures" world... that would be a blast.
