    Brom. I'm sure he can do great justice to the vile pseudo-asian priest of Domination...

    The most POWERFUL classic monsters! (Read intro before voting!!!)

    I had to vote 'Other' for those vile humans. Especially vile human wizards. My players hate when the human wizard shows up. ( In any system. Wizards, Tremere, Cult Leaders, whatever. Human(ish) wizards are always bad for the players... Muahahahahahaha! )

    Poll: Rating your D&D game based on criteria in Monte Cook's article in Dragon #300

    I voted Vile, but that is for only one of the 2 games I am currently involved in. The one I am running is quite light-hearted. There are no descriptions of gore, or really even blood. The action is cinematic in a Final Fantasy sort of way. Now the other game in which I am _not_ the DM, is an...

    Coolest weapon from literature?

    Tolkein, bah, upstart! If you want to talk the first modern fantasy authors you need to go back to Lord Dunsany and William Morris. But back on topic, I'll put a vote in for Sacnoth. A blade carved from the spine of a steel dragon which could only be slain by _starvation_! From Dunsany's "The...

    RPG purchases you use(ed) regularly

    Call of Cthulhu BRP First game I bought, first game I played, first game I ran. :-) Vampire, Werewolf, etc, ad nauseum. I was running a World of Darkness game off and on ( mostly on ) from '92 until '01. Tales of the Floating Vagabond. A roaring funny game, a great read. I almost got a game of...

    {OT} Buying Swords

    http://www.ageofchivalry.com Age of Chivalry has a lot of good stuff, everything they carry ( unless specifically stated ) has been tested in live steel combat. And they've got some really good prices too.

    Whats the most you've spent on dice..

    High-price dice purchases: $25 for hematite dwarven stone dice, $25 for a set of green jade dwarven stone dice for my fiancee. $20 for a set of the pewter dice. $15 for 4 solid machined aluminum d6. $10 for 2 brass d6 And the worst, which I am proud to say I didn't actually buy myself, my...

    Curious about your present Party Composition

    Currently I am playing in a ( fairly silly ) Evil campaign. The characters are: Dexter the Digester : 10th level human rogue cannibal. Long Po : 9th level human cleric of demonology and domination. Wong Wei : 10th level human monk. Not as evil as he could be. Cyn : 8th level elf Necromancer...

    Who do you play with?

    There is no answer for me I have a group of about 15-20 friends from which 5-8 players are 'seemingly' randomly selected for each game that is run. So things are always changing, but they never _really_ change...

    Ability Points Buy System how many ?

    Except I don't put them up against encounters appropriate for a 1st level party. That was the point. I do make them face harder-than-normal encounters, with higher CRs, much higher ELs, and monster tactics significantly better. The buffing is not because they 'need it to survive in the...

    Ability Points Buy System how many ?

    Heheh... Actually that'd be effectively 2nd level characters facing 3rd and 4th level challenges... I am hard on my PCs, and they enjoy it. :-)

    KoK: Scalable Spells

    I also don't have the book in hand, being at work. But from what I read, it seemed to me that the scalable spells had to be prepared, and if prepared in higher slots, then they would have additional effects. It seemed logical to me...
