I love that kind of plot... have the party contacted by "secret good group" to help bring/protect the "golden child / chosen one" then when the chosen one shows up it starts with the end times bit. then the party has a choice, do they like the world as is or do they want to live in the chosen...

A juiced up dragon would do the trick... Half-Fiend great wyrm makes for a nice kick in the teeth. You could also go with some sort of elemental... perhapse a void elemental, or an elemental made up from all four elements. You could also go for something a bit more unusual then just a...

Unfortunatly sometimes players are just passive. One player in my campaings has always been passive, he rarely ever pushes himself forward unless I force the issue (which I rarely do). Unfortunatly his passivity seems to be infecting the rest of my group... they all seem extremely passive...

With all the talk about harry potter as of late I've been feeling the urge to read the books (which i resisted earlier on). Many people I know have read them, and have all seemed to enjoy them (and this comes from mostly the 20-60 crowd). So far the books seem to fall in the Chronicles of...

It largely depends on where you are in my campaing world... In the more advanced countries clocks are present, mostly water clocks though some purely mechanical systems exist. though only two human countries have the wealth and resources to build huge clock towers. All major Dwarf and Gnome...

I've been reading the book, not indepth yet, but I have been over all the chapters. The classes look wonderful, I'm going to run up an NPC hunter and maybe an archer to throw at my party this saturday (to get a real feel for the classes). One thing I am worried about is classes with multiple...

First: What Dark Gods to you make a pact with to get it so early... cause mine cant seem to do anything... Second: Wow, I like the way that magic system works... a quick question: the DC to cast a spell is equal to the amount of mana spent + 5 + Int mod right. so is there a way to vary the...

I've already preordered it... and look forward to using it soon. It was pointed out above, and I'm to tired now to look back an quote them, that the game is balanced towards individual encounters rather then "encounters per day" which I find to be a marked improvement. It allows a bit more...

I'll jump on board with those who say that HPL, REH and others are not RPG related. The way I see it RPG novels are those clearly linked to an RPG (by the arthors intent, so REH doesnt count), usualy by being published under the same lable or some such. Most of my collection consists on...

I've learned to greatly enjoy Bruce Timms work... starting with Batman:tAS and into his most recient bit (that I've seen at least) in Conan 18

Since permanent magic items are quite rare IMC they all recieve a special name: examples from my Orental Campaing Daisho of the Honored Path: a set of items (Katana and wakashi) that only work for one with honorable intentions... In addition to its level based enhancement bonus it gives...

The deed is done... Having read the web page and the two threads here I've gone and preordered the book... now I just have to wait... It looks like a good bit to me... if nothing else this book may end up as more fuel for my own RPG project.

well Dodge provides a flat +1 to AC instead of a targeted one (a marked improvement over 3.x systems) there are other feats as well, like Steely Gaze and Menicing Aura that allow you to intimidate foes in combat. there is a feat that lets you resits getting drunk, and also gives you bonuses to...

I've already got Conan d20, and have used much of it in my games. It is definatly an improvement over General Issue D&D, but I'm one of those who always looks to the horizon for something new... I like the Feat Mastery idea (feats that improve over time) and the idea of Reserve HP (an...

Is anyone else looking forward to the new Monte Cook creation "Iron Heros"? I've been reading about it online and am very tempted to buy a copy when it comes out in about a week or so. Alot of the changes to the system (low magic-high adventure, defense based combat system, ect.) appeal to me...

The best thing to do is to sit down and talk with the guy. Tell him about the campaign world, encluding the gods. However I would strongly recomend that you flat out ask him if this will be a problem at first. Just let him hear about how you use divine magic in your campaigns. The last thing...

Though I have yet to see the new edition in action I know that the old edition led to extremly powerful PCs (the engineering rules were particularly broken). They probably havent toned the PCs down in this one either.

no... that would be silly.... I've never had players who would overlook a set of gems, or an ornate necklace as part of the treasure. That was true even in standard issue games where I rolled for treasure as usual.

I dont mind elves who think they are superior, I do mind when they are superior. Drow bite, I'll take Warhammer Dark Elves any day of the week for my evilness. People, stop listening to the Elves, they are lying.... all that stuff about how much better then us is a load they use to keep us...

Im a huge fan of the Swords & Sorcery style. It just appeals to me more then High Fantasy, probably because the characters seem to have more fun.
