That's a broad assumption. Most players I know are interested in killing things and taking their stuff, and having "phat buildz" for their PCs. It's not only clomping nerdism, but very presumptuous nerdism and very cloying.

What level?

You bring up a very good point. Part of my own perception of D&D's "tech-level" is very much shaped by my early experiences with the red boxed set which had a more 9th-12th Century Byzantine & Northern Italy feel (hello Karameikos & Thyatis) and the 2E Forgotten Realms boxed set explicitly...

Yup, or as I've been an advocate of, utilizing the history to spice up the setting. Nothing like getting those Bluff checks going by claiming that "No, really, I do have blood ties to the last western Emperor Gaius Unfortunatus. Really! Haven't you heard any of the songs that the...

Reading up on the early history of Venice (thank you John Julius Norwich!) and within the framework of the Byzantine Empire, there was quite a bit of social mobility to be found within there as well. Emperor Basil I that was a simple peasant from Armenia that became, well...the frickin' EMPEROR...

Also, if you see this, ping me after you get settled. I'm planning a one-shot first for June 16th.

What the hell was that? I love all the corp-speak that the committee is spewing out to justify the logo. Might as well have gotten Vicki Pollard to speak for them: "YeahbutnobutyeahbutnobutSHUTUP! Stop giving me evils!"

So are they, seeing as how they abandoned the sound after "Stomp" started making the rounds on Broadway.

Of course, you guys made a pretty map. :D I like the Pathfinder map too.

You DM for Einsturzende Neubaten?!?!

We'll know for sure if their modules have any NPCs named Blixa Bargeld! "Every new building in Sasserine has collapsed. A collective of savage spellcasters have flattened them with powerful sonic-based spells and a strange device called a 'jackhammer' which their leader has taken to the central...

Most D&D players provide perfect examples quite well on their own without Miko's help. I can't stand the character because every strip she's in is an exercise in tedium. I don't think she's an "interesting" character to some people (myself included) if all we're talking about is how much the...

I'll more than likely give it a pass. Outside of Expedition to Castle Greyhawk, I think I'm done with WOTC for a good long time.

Or...what if the pantheistic society has an agreement between churches * so that the churches of Torm, Lathander, etc. have to agree to allow Talona her due, either as a percentage, or a tacit agreement that they can only tend to the "fittest" members of the community (or only those members of...

I don't necessarily see that happening very reliably when there are active forces that will deliberately work against the efficacy of divinations. People like to toss this out there, but what's to say that plagues aren't punishments by "good" gods as well? We have germ theory, etc, etc, etc, but...

I dunno, that's kinda going off the idea that most wizards and clerics are really that altruistic and interested in sharing. I've always loved wizards as the living in a big f***-off tower and an owlbear as a "KEEP OOT!" sign-type myself. I still don't think that clerical magic would be enough...

"Can I get a knife and fork?" "There were no utensils in medieval times hence there are no utensils at Medieval Times. Would you like a refill on your Pepsi?" "There were no utensils but there was Pepsi?" " *sigh* Dude, I have a lot of tables." - Cable Guy You could switch out forks or...

Nim Neldor (White Beech), Elven male - Fighter/Wizard Rollo Rumblebelly, Halfling male/hobbit - Fighter/Rogue Locke the Fox, Human male - Rogue/Swashbuckler Valis, Human female - Rogue Rutterkin Clives - Human male, Assassin Pendley and Snodgrass (Mr. Clives' associates) - Human males...

What a nice mushroom! 19 hours?!?! Daaaag.

That just reminded me...Iuz vanishing, it wouldn't be the first time it happened. Zagyg made it happen the first time, until some meddlesome kids adventurers mucked it all up. I wish the Horned Society got more love for the setting though. I wonder if they were more-to-the-point casualties of...
