Two gaming credits so far, plus a few in the pipe. I have a small boatload of non-gaming credits, all of which involve a) archaeology b) dead bodies c) all of the above. Khayman (a.k.a. David M. Finch) Arms & Armor 3.5 (Bastion Press) [additional design] The Omniscient Eye: How Did They...

I liked it. I thought that the style suited the subject matter.

I'd second the WWI idea --- of course, that may be due to my compulsive viewing of Carnivale.

This could be Sigil, for that matter... though conflict was present, it was much more nice-nice. Partly due to social reality, and partly due to the lack of gating (etc.) within the city, but largely thanks to the scariness that is The Lady of Pain.

We're thinking of using a similar model for the new Black Company setting --- either two groups of PCs that form a larger mercenary company, or the PCs are the lower ranking guys supporting the higher-ups. Different missions at first, with the NPCs doing their bit in the background. That way we...

I've found it works best in a campaign with a greater focus on roleplay, where the PCs experience both the highs and lows of a chain of command. We've done this for years in Traveller, where we are playing the crew of an antipiracy vessel --- each of us plays a senior officer, and we also play...

The Hydra. The Terror. The Maelstrom. The Windrunner. And of course, every pirate boat needs a longboat called The Jenny. Just don't ask why.

Unless the player stated that they readied the potion or left it someplace accessible (ie, top of the pack, on a bandolier, in a bag, etc.), we assume it is in their pack. So, to open and rummage through the pack... Reflex DC 15 to retrieve --- it takes 1 round to locate & get in hand. Failure...

Sulu, because he Mastered that damn vessel.

Check out the City of Solis --- they have a few very nice urban maps. Moody weird stuff.

Choked by a flying lobster in a Stormbringer game. Yep, a demonic flying lobster. The only thing more pathetic was my previous character who spent 3/4 of a game session haggling with a shopkeep to buy a fricken bronze sword, and then was killed in the first encounter by a wolf the size of a...

Just to run with tarchon's idea --- a watery moon with an extensive crust of ice, above which is a negligible (and cold) atmosphere. Captive cities underwater ruled over by kraken or morkoth, and captured human folk summoned in from elsewhere, trapped by the cold water and the pressure. hmm...

I think that's basically correct. Tidal effects around a gas giant would be massive, though smaller satellites might escape this. Of course, smaller satellites might also have a low gravity --- unless something funky was going on to increase their density, such as having an abnormally high mass...

I thought it was going to be 'We Like The Moon' from rathergood.com --- probably for the best anyway. Those things are scary. :confused: You might like to check out the world generation rules from Traveller & Megatraveller --- there's a program called Heaven & Earth that does some of the math...

In my Mystara campaign, I have the Rauthen, a 'fateless' race that predates the coming of the Powers. The gods cannot see their fates so they represent a thorny wild card. They look human and have similar stats. They have access to a range of feats that allow them to resist divine magic, hide...

True, but then our group tends to rely on less CGI and more acting... except for our Star Wars campaign, where we now only roleplay in front of a blue screen. :lol:

Pretty much kills comedy *and* tragedy in one fell swoop...

In our campaigns, dwarves speak with Russian accents. Makes the fur hats seem even more intimidating.

Simple. He gets doused in chemical waste... oh wait, that's Daredevil.

Silly though they may be, I can use the Illumians in my Planescape campaign. The plotline just took a surreal turn and Sigil now has a human/dabus hybrid. More proof that WotC has a listening device in my basement. Mind you, if an illumian ever gets hold of an ioun stone, it may be...
