Dr. Orpheous is great, infact I like all the characters... All in all Venture Brothers is one of the better showes on TV today (which seems strangly sad).

Human, I've always played humans.

Though I DM a lot more then I play I've always had a fondness for rogues with a splash of fighter (3:1 or 4:1 mix)

The "adventure" used as an example for the left wing style could just as easily be used in a Conan game (just replace the orcs with Picts or some such). I honestly dont see how the two styles are all that different. the point seems to be more historical/fantastic then anything else, and both...

The level mechanic is a somewhat clunky one, so I've never bothered defining most of the population. (like there are X% comoners X% experts) most of the people my players encounter have PC levles (guards are fighteres, thugs are figuter/rogues or barbarian/rogues)...

Ogers with class levels. NPC's with ranks in tumble NPC's with reach weapons. remember that 5 foot steps dont usualy provoke AoO's archers.

lets look at this way... instead of saying "buying" magic items lets call it aquiring magic items. IMC You have two choices when seeking a new magic item... find an old one that meets your needs or commision a new one to your specifications, both methiods have risks and benefits. New magic...

I've never realy codified my rules, but there are unsaid rules that we like to stick to 1) Roll dice on the table, dice that fall are rerolled 2) have your character sheet with you 3) know your characters abilities (and any rules you are going to be using like triping or disarming) 4)...

or you could have even larger parties of zombies roaming the woods. perhapse there is a ring of zombies standing around the villiage just out of bow shot range bad weather is always a good one, a flood to knock out the bridge and make the river unnavagatable. if the villiage is on the edge of...

Actualy it makes it less likely that they will be sold. Its not reasonable to think that the Order of the Martyered Lady would sell the Shroud of St. Lasira (cloak, +2 all saves +4 vs. magic w/ evil descriptor, +2 deflection bonus vs. daemons) that they have been keeping for centuries to a...

all of the above have to be commisioned. for a suit of full plate (magical or otherwise) to fit it has to be custom made/modified to the customer. As such the master armor smiths who can make full plate work on commission only (there is usualy high enough demand for their work to keep them...

Permanet magic items are rare as hens teeth IMC, and are usualy family treasures or reveared relics. Getting your hands on a magic weapon or armor is extremely difficult and dangerous, and are often dangerous to have or use as well. This is due to several factors IMC; firstly being the extreme...

90% of those found IMC are humanoids (humans, dwarves, elves, goblinoids, and occasionaly an oger). stranger creatures (daemons, undead, magical beasts) are rarely seen or heard of, and encounters with them are always for a plot purpose (and are very very dangerous).

There are a few things to consider when thinking about magic in seiges: 1) what kind of magical modifications can be made to a castle? Things like giving the walls spell reesistance or creating large permenent circles o' protection can give the defenders a good advantage. 2) what kind of...

Yes, but not in a way that would change falling damage (if a character somehow managed to fall for a mile i'd just say that they were dead rather then calculate the damage dice). Yes, but the range penalty compensates for this (so i dont have to do any geometry in game) distant supermassive...

Though I'll wait to see it before I make my final call I will say that it looks good. On thing we all should have learned by now is that while trailers are fun they dont say a thing about the movie (look at the trailers for the US release of Hero, its a completly different movie).

My players have learned (some times the hard way) that a very low wisdom is a bad thing. Nearly every encounter with somthing magical requires a will save or a wisdom check (either to resists a spell or make use of a magical item). I also make liberal use of bluffing rogues, so a good sense...

Magic IMC comes from the Ætherium (also known as the spirit realm, the Other World, and many other names). Mortals can draw on the Ætherium, and attempt to shape it to their will. It is very dangerous to do so unaided, as the Ætherium is not easily contained, and there are hungry things...

Though I have kept each race seperate from a stat pov I have brought them closer together from a plot pov... The original race that gave rise to Dwarves, Halflings, and Gnomes is extinct (though Dwarves are very close to the original race). Gnomes are the decendents of a group of pre-Dwarves...

:D though you might have to explain this to the kiddies.... I've used an Object oriented approach for years (mostly unaware that I was doing it). My DM notebook has a large section with creatures like "Human Thug" or "Orc Raider" that I reuse in adventures.
