    Elves or Dwarves?

    Gotta vote Dwarf. I mean, look at my avatar? I've had more fun playing dwarves over the years than elves.

    Surprised by the non-suckage

    :lol: I've never had the pleasure of actually seeing this book so I can't comment as to its merits and flaws. The only thing I am certain of is that the art samples I saw posted over on CM are scary bad.

    Surprised by the non-suckage

    Glad I'm not the only one to find something useful about this book! As I said earlier in the thread, there are some good ideas hidden in the book and if nothing else it has helped me model my deities for my homebrew.

    [XRP] Couldn't Make it to Gen Con Sale

    Just placed and order and paid thru paypal for Silk Road and the 2nd printing of A Magical Medieval Society: Western Europe. I have both in PDF format and love 'em! Looking forward to having the printed books to read while in bed, on the couch, etc. I've found them extremely useful for...

    Spiked Chains: Pure cheese or sometimes OK?

    Agreed. That statement paints a nasty picture of what that weapon can do to someone. As for using it, I've allowed it and seen it used twice in my campaigns by players. I don't believe I have ever had an NPC wield one, although not because I have strong feelings about not using it. I also...

    Surprised by the non-suckage

    One book that immediately springs to mind for me that most people really didn't like but that I have gotten use from is the 3e version of Deities and Demigods. Every time I see that book mentioned, it is with loathing. While I understand that sentiment and can see that it definitely wasn't for...

    Shadowend Setting map

    Very nice looking map. Out of curiousity, what's the scale on the map? How big of an area does it depict?

    Conlans Art Thread

    Conlan, I am the player of Valurel. Just wanted to say I think your work is excellent! I also think your style would suit the fantasy setting I'm in the process of building nicely. Might have to hit you up for a request or two after you finish what you have in the queue.

    Conlans Art Thread

    Not trying to hijack the thread but I just wanted to compliment you, Joe. I LOVE the Magical Society books! Extremely useful, especially for someone (me) building his own fantasy setting. Love 'em! Keep up the great work!

    Conlans Art Thread

    Actually, Valurel was able to communicate with some of the group from the beginning as he could speak Erenlander. His difficulties with that language were mostly due to the fact that until he fell in with the party, he had shunned contact with others. He could not speak the language of the...

    Craft Skill Calculator? Anyone?

    Very handy tool, Wonko. Nice work! After my last D&D session where half the players decided they wanted to have some items crafted for them, this will come in pretty handy.

    Midnight: A Lost Faith's Shadow. Book 1, The Awakening. Chapter 3, Baden's Bluff

    Frustration and weariness overcoming him, Valurel moves into the light where the six Erenlanders can get a good look at him. "Enough talk! My friends might be dying," he hisses, nodding towards Aislinn and Kaela. "Take us somewhere safe, where they can be tended to." He then turns to the one...

    Masks of Nyarlathotep - Chapter 1: New York City

    Joe is about to make some attempt to answer Evelyn when the door opens and he spots William Blair standing there. Looking at the various bits of evidence scattered on the table and then at William, he sees that there is going to be little point in trying to deceive the man. He looks at his...

    Out of the Frying Pan... (d20 Star Wars)

    Seeing his attempt to bring the situation under control fail and the blasters come out, with him standing in the middle of it all, Femi dives for cover under or behind the bar or the nearest table. He then pulls his own blaster and peers out at the fight, taking aim and firing at the nearest...

    Campaign Wiki

    I've been playing around with TiddlyWiki for awhile now for my own homebrew campaign and I think its a great tool for campaign setting notes and such. Ilium and Sir Brennen, I love how your TiddlyWiki's look! How to I make mine have different colors and fonts than the default TiddlyWiki? I'm...

    Out of the Frying Pan... (d20 Star Wars)

    Sensing the situation spiraling completely out of control, Femi strides forward to stand directly in front of the officer. "You are not interested in the whereabouts of Captain Allyn Haebes. You want to let the wookiee go," Femi says quietly so that only the Imperial officer can hear him...

    Masks of Nyarlathotep [OOC]

    Okay, Father Joe is completely updated to 2nd level (finally!). Ready to get back to playing.

    Out of the Frying Pan... (d20 Star Wars)

    Without taking his eyes off the Imperials, Femi taps in to the energy of the force, hoping he isn't making a dire mistake. He calls up an image of two individuals who look much like he and Tal, but not so much that they appear to be the same people. They have surprised and fearful looks on...

    [FULL] Star Wars D20 Revised Episode III - Episode IV

    Oh, I wasn't talking about payback from Femi, DL... I know maddmic in real-life. He is a player in my face to face D&D game. Femi would never stoop so low as to seek revenge... at least not at the moment. Give him a little more time though... As for maddmic, his poor half-orc...

    I have partially updated Joe. Rolled a 4 for hit points, +1 for Con. bonus for a total of 5 and a new grand total of 12. Rolled a 5 for new Sanity points, for a new total of 75. Still need to update skill points and anything else that changed. I will do that first thing in the morning.
