    Alabama Adventure - Would Love Ideas & Suggestions

    Don't overlook the obvious! Also never forget that Man is the scariest beast in the jungle. Any male gets at least a little uncomfortable when they watch Deliverance (though that's GA, not AL, dagnabit!). The classic X-files episode "Home" is another example of people not takin' too kindly to...

    Alabama Adventure - Would Love Ideas & Suggestions

    Ya - that's always a good "gotcha" moment. When the players think they know what's going on and suddenly have to think in an entirely different way. Man, I've been picking up more than I realized from OldDrewId (he's the quintessential RBDM, don't ya know!).

    The Commodore! I talked with OldDrewId and pointed him to this thread. We brainstormed a little more about the Lake Monster encounter. How's this sound: The characters start seeing reports of missing boaters on the local news. Its written off as alcohol-related accidents at first, but the...

    Alabama Adventure - Would Love Ideas & Suggestions

    Heyo, I really like the old chemical weapons idea. You could even start things up with that and have it be a running theme throughout the entire campaign. Some ideas: - Lake monster. You've got Lake Black Creek up there - use it! Make a Loch Ness type monster, or if you really want to go...

    Player's Favorite Sayings?

    Ah, there's many. Here's a sampling: Any spectacularly failed Spot/Listen check: "What did you roll?" "Brocolli!" From when the original spectacularly-failed-Spot-check-maker answered "I see nothing but a small patch of brocolli" When you roll a 3 on a d20: "Burke!" From a 1/2 orc character...

    I was really into Feats once...

    I second this idea. I've begun making cheat sheets for each of my characters with a list of their feats and a short description of each. The big thing I've found is to make this sheet as easily readable as possible - feat names in bold red, bonuses in bold, whatever it takes to make it easy to...

    What does damaging/boosting mental abilities feel like?

    Just brainstorming... INT loss could consist of: Forgetfulness (short or long term memory loss) Inability to reason Lack of imagination Loss or reduction in literacy Misplacing important items (where did I leave that scroll?) WIS loss could consist of: Voices in your head Lack of...

    Are you stuck to a grid?

    We started with white boards and a battle mat and have slowly built up our collection of Dwarven Forge and homemade terrain over the years. Now we pretty much just build out the scenario complete with hills, trees, buildings, etc. and use tailor's tape to measure our movement. We feel it...

    What do folks of regions call themselves?

    That's 'cause I made it up. Anytime I meet someone who's just moved into the area, I tell them that's what we call ourselves.

    My CS account expired too early (update 7/20: fixed!)

    Yep - lost mine today. I was one of the ones who donated last fall during the save-the-site fundraiser. I don't recall the timing, but my nick may have been pierceatwork at that time, if that helps. I'll have to check my archived email to see if I still have the receipt.

    So, how bad was your root canal?

    Good news and bad news I've had two. The more recent one was a breeze, comparable to what everyone else has described. The first one tho. Whew. From what my dentist tells me (IIRC), there are four nerve endings in each tooth. You have a root canal because these nerves (along with the rest...
