    Vikings D20

    Darn it, for some reason I never got any mail from EN-World saying there were new posts here. Until today, that is. Now I see there are a whole two pages worth of posts! And here I was, thinking the thread had died out... I am so proud to finally be able to call myself a published author, even...

    Harn

    On the few occasions when I'm not the DM, I'm a player in a Harn campaign. Actually, I've been in several, but all with the same DM. We've used the 3.x rules, though.

    Why aren't flat chested women ever barmaids?

    I don't know, but I'll bet it involved Haley. She's so hot! :p

    In praise of the missing...

    Never had a gnome or half-orc PC myself, but then I DM at least 95% of the time so I havn't really had all that many PCs. There have been plenty of gnome and half-orc PCs in my games though. The guy who first introduced me to D&D and who is still part of our regular group pretty much always...

    Help me create a munchkin character!

    Here's an utterly cheesy recipe for a level 15 killing machine: Version 1: Take one kobold. Make it a 1st level rogue. Add 6 levels of sorcerer and 5 levels of Spellwarp Sniper (Comp. Sc.), and just a pinch (1 level) of Assassin. Finish with a nice coating (2 levels) of Arcane Trickster...

    OotS #517 Is Up

    Probably because it was imported from Greysky city... ;)

    Monster based on a toy (ideas)

    Your two-headed, half-dragon blackscale idea seems to fit the figure perfectly, IMO.

    Great Fantasy Cities (and what makes them so awesome)

    The first city that popped into my head when I started reading this thread was Ankh-Morpork. Kamikze Midget has already explaiend what's so great about it, and very succinctly too. (Although, to be perfectly honest, I feel the technological revolution has gone a bit far and a bit too fast in the...

    How do you give your NPCs distinction?

    I've used all the options on your poll; except the catch phrase one, but none of them very often. I try to vary my methods as much as possible, so that I don't become too predictable or my NPCs seem too clichè. I strive to give each one a distinct personality though. When I do give an NPC a...

    The Proper Use of Nudity in FRPG Art

    As long as the writing is good, I really don't care much about the illustrations.

    Tell Me Your Best DM Dirty Tricks...

    Multiple flying opponents with ranged attacks can be difficult at almost any level, especially out in the wilderness. I very nearly caused a TPK with a handful of harpy archers once, even though the EL should in theory match the party's level exactly. As long as the fliers have enough space to...

    How to stop a druid from wildshaping?

    How to keep a druid from using wild shape? Make sure he never reaches 5th level.. :p

    RBDMs, what's the most RB thing you've ever done?

    You're right, of course. That moment is what a RBDM lives for. :cool: Even so, it was excellent fun watching them spend all that time and waste all those resources on doing quests that they figured had to be to their benefit, although they could never quite figure out where that benefit lay...

    Items for a juvenile black dragon?

    A very simple; but also very useful, item I've used a few times isa collar or amulet that increases the save DC of his breathweapon. These are highly sought after items by the dragons in my homebrew. I've prised them the same as magic armors; +1 bonus = 1000 gp, +2 bonus = 4000 gp, +3 bonus =...

    RBDMs, what's the most RB thing you've ever done?

    Thank you. It was a most satisfying RBDM experience. :cool: Kudos to KrazyHades for starting such a cool thread, btw! I've thoroughly enjoyed reading it and plan to steal shamelessly from it. :p

    RBDMs, what's the most RB thing you've ever done?

    Not my worst RBDM moment; but the one which was the most satisfying to me, since the players never found out they had been tricked: The party has just reached epic levels and make their first visit to Union (the trader city from ELH). After they've spent a couple of hours aquainting themselves...

    Should you be able to dodge a fireball by readying an action?

    Yeah, that's what how I would've handled it. I'd probably go for a +4 bonus, though.

    soundtracks

    For encounters with giants, I warmly recommend In the Hall of the Mountain King by Edvard Grieg (from the music for Peer Gynt).

    The Tyranny of Good (aka The Road to Hell is Paved with Good Intensions)

    Wow. I started a Dragnolance/Star Wars thread! I never would have guessed. :p Jokes aside, thanks to everyone for their helpful input. I'm still open for more ideas though. Particularly if anyone has thoughts about how good intentions can lead to oppression and more-or-less evil results...
