    "PCs usually die of stupidity"

    -- Not knowing when to quit / surrender / retreat / rest. ("We can handle one more room...") Hasn't happened to me yet, but it will, I'm sure of it. Until now the only threatening situation I had in the current campaign happened, when two enemy mages got initiative and fireballed us first...

    Black Company or Song of Ice and Fire, what should I read next?

    The Black Company books I've read so far were all great fun. ASoIaF had great parts, but that was it. Bakker and even more so Erikson make Martin look for a hole to crawl into IMO.

    Recommend me books like SoIaF

    I just read The Darkness that Comes Before and I came to the conclusion that Bakker's work is what Martin's could have been, if he wasn't writing about obnoxious little brats and had to work out his sexual frustration through his books. And yes, I want Kellhus to be utterly blindsided by...

    A pseudo-scientific explanation of magic

    (I've been using that idea as background for my world) In ancient times, before mankind of even this world even existed, the Firstborn were the rulers of a great part of the universe. The Firstborn - you would know them as 'draconiae'. Yes, dragons, but nothing like your mother told you in her...

    Shemeska's Planescape Storyhour (Updated 29 Jan 2014)

    Ahhhh ... back from my trip to the USA, my tests all over and now time to read this SH :). (And of course, all the Planescape stuff I brought with me from overseas. And the fact, that the DM in our group is a PS fan and might be running a game once we've whipped the CotSQ - times are good :):))

    Off to the USA ...

    Ok, only two days left which will be spent driving mainly and I don't have much time on the internet ... We were in a LOT of national parks and did a fair bit of driving - 3000 miles it will be, once we're back in Denver. So of course it wasn't really more than a quick overview over the...

    Off to the USA ...

    We have no exact route planned out, but we have maps and guides and a list of places that sound interesting. I expect, we're going to do the detail planning once we're there, probably with help from my sister and her host family there :).

Collins to meet her host parents, then rent a camping van...

    Why D&D is slowly cutting its own throat.

    Why not use 'content' instead of 'intellectual property'? It's a more neutral, much less offensive term.

    Cleric of Wee Jas - View of Undead?

    If I recall correctly there are different opinions on this within the Church of Wee Jas. Probably split along the alignment axis there are those, who see undead as good tools (maybe even as blessings by the goddess or a reflection of her portefolio) and those, who see undead as the antithesis of...

    [Rant] Is Grim n Gritty anything more than prejuidice?

    ... and it a total loser, when it comes to dealing with people and especially Darling. Which kinda is the point.

    Epic Challenges

    One important thing is, not to assume anything. Players have access to Discern Location and Gate and generally can do just about anything.
