    Why would you ever get Burst weapons?

    Why use a burst weapon? because the only thing cooler then a flaming-frosting-shocking-corroding keen Rapier is a flaming/frosting/shocking/corroding burst keen rapier. Besides I still want my Flaming Burst Vorpal Longsword!!!

    Illumians

    They seem kinda interesting, and I could possibly fit them IMC, but I doubt that they would ever see play (except as NPCs).

    Firearms in D&D

    Technological developments in a magical world.

    The two biggest influences on tech level are geographical location and Race. Dwarves have a relatively high level of technology, with crude steam engines and black powder weapons.

    Do You Use the Core Pantheon?

    My campaign world started out using the core pantheon... but has changed over time to the point where none of the core gods remain. Pelor became the LN sun god Solaris, Heronious became the LG goddess Miria, Hexor became the NE god Moloch... and the rest were completly replaced.

    Tell me about a cool room in your dungeon...

    The Windy Room Found in a temple built by elemental wizards, the Windy room was a square room with 60 ft long walls. There was no roof or "floor" (the chamber went up out the top of the temple, and went down... well I never did decide what was at the bottom, but it was probably a REALY long...

    your homebrew campaign - generic setting or single campaign?

    So far I have run three major campaigns (running for several RL months) through my world, each encluding multiple story archs. I have also run several smaller campaigns (1-3 sessions in lenght). Two of the three large campaings were cronologicly related to each other (the second involved the...

    World Discussion....what do you need in a world?

    Frenzied Berserker: should I worry ?

    I played in a game with one once, she nearly killed the entire party after a goblin managed to jab her hard with a spear (the goblin got pasted and she turned on the rest of us). Despite that I would allow its use IMC, but as long as the other player agreed. Whoever was playing the FB would...

    Tell me about Loxo in your World:)

    Thats a fairly poor picture of a Yagite, the book "The Comming of Conan" has a better picture in the story "The Tower of the Elephant" (which is the only story to ever feature a Yagite. Its body is supposed to look shrunken because the Yagite was tortured by a sorcerer for over a hundred years...

    Tell me about other (non-core) PC races in your world!

    Well the only PC race that I have completly designed for my campaing are the Kataros. They are an advanced race of cat people who only recently (300 years ago) came to the world. They fled their old world due to a orbital anomoly that sent their old world into the outer reached of that solar...
