Design diaries are a great idea. They give the reader a peek behind the curtain to see why the writer made some of the design decisions that they did. But they are also great for increasing trafic to your site and keeping you in mind. Frequent update such as design diaries and product release...

Plus Unearthed Arcana has some rules for using leveled weapons in conjunction with a prestige class. -Ashrum

And today a leading story in the news is how a man made a sword out of scrap metal in his shop and decapitated another man that had been bully him everyday in the shop for the last several months. Of course the fact that this guy also played dungeons and dragons was brought up in the story as...

Wolv0rine: I think the type of fear you're talking about is generated by a well played villain. A well played villain in my opinion doesn't have to make the PC's terrified of what he is, but what is he going to do if they don't stop him. So while children form hades wielding cleavers may send...

Mark: Nice plug on the book. I'll have to check that out. Anything that can give a villian more depth is great. Felix: A polite villian can be a wonderful direction to take his personality. I had one that was evil to the core, he'd kill women and children without a second thought. But he'd be...

Hand of Evil: But you do have to admit that the gamed does capture the feeling of the warhammer 40K universe. The fact that you have to take and hold the strategic points to win forces you to be on the offensive. If you turtle, you'll croak. The game is highly addictive and captures the feel...

Both of those are great examples of a wonbderful villian. BTW I may steal the one about the general and the demon. ;) If I may I'd also like to toss in another point that came tyo mind over the weekend. 6) The villian does not have to be a combat monster, he just has to thwart the PC's...

I'd say it sounds like she wants to play a combat monster and just wach things. Been there done that. When stress and life get out of control it's sometimes a great release valve. Which is what this sounds a lot like. You mentioned that you DM as well. If this is the case then talk to your...

What makes a really good villian? I started thinking about this latley and dreged up my answer to this question form the RBDM fourums. I now pose this question to the rest of ENworld. As a DM or as a player, what makes an really good villian? My take is as follows: 1) The villain needs a...

All hail the Great Teflon Billy!! Can I be in the fan club? Huh? Huh? -Ashrum

Thanks Dextra. No offence taken. I've seen all the goings on, and assumed that things had been bumped, but since we hadn't actually been told that was what had happened, I thought I'd ask. Thanks again! -Ashurm

Just as the title says, whens the release of the next pdf file going to be. I thought whip was due in August, and it is now October. Thanks! -Ashrum

I'm sorry RangerWickett but the name of your mercenary band has just got so many bad puns and gags attached to it that Eric's Grandma wouldn't approve of. ow, my head. -Ashrum

I thought that was the going price for the giant expansion packs? I could be wrong as the mini's really aren't for me. As for Reaper, they make a lot of great mini's for use in a fantasy environment. Their warlords line, and the others are all topnotch. They do have some dogs in thier range as...

Diaglo: Many folks feel the same way you do. I myself can't stand them for the collectible aspect. The paint jobs are subpar, but improving, much as wizkids has over the years. As for over priced, have you ever spent 25.00 on five assualt space marines? That is over priced. Of course I do...

Minitures huh? Well the big boys are Games Workshop and Wizkids with their collectible line. Privateer Press and their Warmachine line are up and coming, the line is doing well and the mini's are top quality. Rackham has some beautiful mini's and if their distribution could get a little better...

Have you talked about this to the players yet? I'm assuming they new they were making these characters for a swashbuckling campaign. The character with the half ogre, did he take appropraite feats for his fighter levels? Are half ogres prominent in the world you're creating? If half ogres...

Nightfall: On the note of computer anti virus, I think it may ber time to drop the money down and get a good one. I'd normally recommend Norton for your home PC. The free online ones are fine and dandy for those whose geek fu is strong, but for the standard client I'd recommend just going and...

I voted for SR2. I GMed that for about a year three times a week. Ah, for the life of a college student again. ;) Before that I GMed SR on and off for about a year. I never really played SR3, I got to make a character once, and to run through a single encounter, that was it though. Maybe...
