Two questions about the Samurai, Ninja and Courtier classes from OA: 1) Are they updated to 3.5 anywhere? 2) Are they OGL? Thanks.

I think you could really make the game's world clear through gestalt classes too. The world oculd be one in which everyone has magical ability, so everyone is a class mixed with sorcerer, cleric or wizard. A wilderness based game where everyone is based off of Druid, Barbarian or Ranger. A...

I was thinking that Gestalt classes would work well for an oriental adventures setting. Mix traditional core classes with either Samurai, Courtier, Ninja or Shugenja classes. Anyone have any interesting uses for gestalt classes or tales of their use?

Paladin's Life This is a pilgrimmage that travels through the major points of a Paladin's life. His name has been lost to time and history. * The church where he was declared a Holy Knight of God and received his first sword and armor. * The tree where he hung his first criminal, a bandit...

I disagree. I think OGL has allowed WOTC to put out books that they can be fairly sure will be big sellers like the Forgotten Realms books, Draconimicon, Monster Manuals, etc. while allowing others to take chances and put out Conan, Blue Rose, Midnight, Mutants and Masterminds, etc. The...

I remember reading that Toshiro Mifune was supposed to originally play Ben Kenobi but had another film comittment and so couldn't. Sometimes I try to imagine him in that role, saying Kenobi lines in his voice to make myself giggle.

Shere's wonderful player, Paula, e-mailed me the following just before the game, more background. We were on the verge of playing before sitting down at the table, so I was glad that we played just after this, right when the iron was hot. As it turned out, this NPC was a big part of the...

Me too. Here's my set-up to the Story Hour for my one-shot this weekend. http://www.enworld.org/forums/showthread.php?t=83176 I don't know that I would compare Deadwood to the Soprano's, a show that I adore. However, I think that Carnivale is somehow a more valid parallel. Both of them have...

E-mailed to me from a player: I might do a nicer, story-version of this, but in brief: Chickasaw Jack Jack probably ain't Chickasaw. He isn't even all Injun. His daddy was squarehead and his momma was Injun. (No one knows what tribe, no one much cares, neither.) He growed up real...

E-mail from another player: Caelius is obviously Roman, or at least he's part Roman, with that nose and square jaw and green eyes. But, his cheekbones and straight black hair point to some injun blood. Also, he's pretty red-skinned, but it could be all the time he spends in the sun tendin his...

Character Concept E-mailed to me from the player: I call myself Khat. (1) I'm a scar-faced, thin-lipped wench that most folks know to leave well enough alone. People say I started out as a vengeful twinkle in Daddy's eye, a neo-Sekhmet conceived to bring down those as done him wrong. (2) He...

Character Concepts E-mailed to me by the player: My character is Emuish้r้ Ramose, aka Sharp Sh้r้ (pronounced "Sherry") Lionheart, madam of Little Pyramid's premiere house of ill repute and temple of goddess worship, Bast's Cathouse. The sign outside depicts a cat fighting a snake, with all...

The Adventure: Little Pyramid is your home, a town on the border between Upper Rosetta, Lower Rosetta where the Norse hold law. The pyramid that gives the town its name is no bigger than an outhouse, has been worn away by time, said to be a general from Rosetta who was peppered with arrows...

Here are the adventure seeds I wrote up for www.againsttheshadow.org, a great Midnight resource if ever there was one: 1 - Steel Hill Slaves They were all caught by the Shadow and sent to Steel Hill for slavery in the mines. On the way to the Hill they awake to find all of their Orcish...

Thanks for the link. The guy who wrote this, Zak and I are old buddies. Nice. I was going to give this thread a bump when I had done some work on a Prestige Class or two. No worries.

I'm thinking about this setting and what dragons could mean. Perhaps they were creatures who Man didn't name in Eden, they named themselves or named by the Creator himself. Perhaps they could be related to the Serpent? Perhaps spawn of the Serpent, guardians and tempters with forbidden wisdom.

That isn't a bad idea. I definitely need to give some thought to how the underworld works. I'm thinking that in the south is heaven, an expanse of desert to those who aren't blessed to be RIGHTEOUS, but to those blessed, it appears as a verdant field with green rolling hills and abundant...

The Riddle of Midnight - Together Again - Post # 14 Karhoun Esben waited with his draconic brother in the keep along the Fortress Wall that was abandoned by the Shadow long ago and was shared their names. The snow fell for days and only the Wyrm of the Fortress Wall's inner furnance seemed to...

Congrats Enkhidu and thanks to Nemm for taking the time to put this shindig together. S'fun.

Once upon a time the Cerebril was patrolled by great wolves. It was the wolves who kept the human's dead from wandering and nipped their heels, driving the herds of ghosts towards their final judgement. But now the wolves hunt the living and pay the dead no heed. It falls to the immortal Elves...
