I've finaly managed to get a copy of his first book in the Master and Commander series, and am now very much a fan (I've been reading it durring lunch at work).

Giants IMC are somewhat of a puzzle. It is known that they once had a vast kingdom, and that they were skilled magic users, though what happened to most of thier population is unknown. most giants have signficant spell casting abilities to back up their physical abilities (often in the form of...

Ogres IMC almost always have levels, usualy as fighter / barbarians. Usualy encountered as mercenaries in the more civilized lands, though they are prone to banditry when not employed. Though rarely encountered Oger spell casters are greatly feared, as they are skilled in the dark arts...

Elves are control freaks, they see themselves as the natural rulers of all existance. Magic is their means to an end (which once nearly destroyed the world). Hobgoblins are 'Mongol raiders' who were taught horsemanship by an elf who needed calvary... they share a common ancestory with goblins...

Thinking back over the years the only creature type that I cannot remember using are constructs. most campaings have Humanoid, Monsterous Humandoids, Giants (Ogres and Trolls), and a few Outsiders or Abberations.

Vampires fall into two major groups IMCs the Classic vampire and 'uber ghoul' The classic vampire is just that, often a noble type with long range plans and his own army of abominations (or the servant of one). The 'uber ghoul' is a degernerate slavering beast that is little more then a...

OotS 408! fallout allright its up... read and enjoy OotS 408 !!!

Selling magic items IMC is much easier then buying them, as magic items are not as common is in the RAW. the first thing to look at is the wealth level of the place you are selling the item. The hammlet of White Pig is probably not going to be able to match the base 1/2 creation cost (though it...

It took me almost a year when I started playing AD&D to become comfortable with the ThAC0 table (largely because I didn't buy a copy of the PHB for several months). When 3rd came out I was good to go after the first game. As nostalgic as we can be for the days of tables (and ThAC0) I perfer...

The Bad Guy race is usualy humans, sometimes with daemonic or undead allies. Since the players usualy stick to the human lands thats who they most often encounter. Other races are often interlopers or mercenaries.

As listed above: Berserk, Cowboy Bebop I'd also add: Samurai Champlo (same creator as Bebop), Witch Hunter Robin, Noir, and perhapse 'Record of Lodoss Wars' (which has some cutie elements, but its not a major part of the series).

http://www.eldritchdark.com has many of his stories on their site.

Actualy, your in luck... Dark Horse has just started reprinting the stories. The first book, 'Lankhmar Book 1: Swords and Deviltry' has alreay come out.

As a DM I make extensive use of my laptop as a DMing tool. It stores stats, notes, and has a large number of PDFs that I use (as was stated earlier there are several books that I only have in PDF form, owing to their rarity). Since my laptop has a stylus and can flip to become a tablet I can...

I've always felt that the tactics and abilities players use are fair game for me to use as well. Though I do dislike using the same tactics every session. As a player building a character I have far more time to refien characters then I do as a DM, and so I look to PCs for good class-race-feat...

Just finished 'Harsh Cry of the Heron' by Leam Hern. Its the, chronologicaly, last book in the Tales of the Otori series. It is a very good end to the series, wrapping up many of the threads from the previous books. From here on I have 'The Decline of the West' by Oswald Spengler (abridged...

I do recognize that the game was set to a different standard, and that was the way I ran it when I used the book as the core rulebook for a campaign. The characters quickly become very powerful, and a careful combination of PrCs can become unstopable (as I learned). Characters who made light...

The PrC's in swashbuckling adventures were balanced against the Epic Level Handbook. Once you take that into effect its a very good book, one that has many good ideas (like weapon finesse being a property of weapons, not a feat to take... incorperating that into my house rules has been a major...

That was a great episode... I loved it the daelks appeared out of the voidship and everyone was like 'oh crap, Daeleks!'

I've just finished Dan Abnetts 'Armour of Contempt', the most recient Gaunts Ghosts book. Its a good turn following the last two (which were a bit of a downer) I've started 'Casino Royale' the first James Bond book by Ian Flemming, and so far its not that bad. I'm also looking forward to the...
