  1. Jolly Giant

    Possibly a stupid question, but. . .

    I find that making my own crunch is an important part of the fun of DMing. Plus, it helps eliminate meta-thinking if the players don't know everything about the NPCs, items and monsters they come across.

    Looked more like a 20 to me! :D

    How do you like your Monster Manuals?

    I love monster books! I've got MM1, MM2, MM3, FF, even Monsters of Faerun and a few 3rd party collections. I was planning to buy MM4, but when I heard about all the classed monsters I changed my mind. Sounds like MM5 will be the same, so I guess I won't be getting that either. A definite vote...

    I'm betting that last window will be Xykon's exit route! ;)

    D&D 4E My faith for 4e crumbles

    She was in my corn flakes this morning. She said 4e will be released next Wednesday. Just after tea-time. Edit: She also mentioned something about 4e meaning the Apocalypse is near. :p

    [UPDATED - ASCENSION!] Blackdirge's "Metamorphosis - From Dretch to Demon Lord"

    This I gotta buy! And just to boast a little; Blackdirge originally created the character Yaghur Hod for me to use in one of my campaigns! This was back when he was doing his critters column, and was taking requests. I'm kinda proud of that now... :cool:

    babsitters and gaming

    We play at our house, so both the missus and I get our gaming fix. The kids watch a movie until their bedtime. But then we always used to play at our house, even before we had kids.

    What 3rd party d20 rpg's/settings are currently in development

    I know it's kinda bad form to toot my own horn here, but since you asked... (And since I've been dying to tell the world!) ;) I've finally finsihed writing the 'core' Vikings D20 book. It will be published (as a PDF for starters) by the TheLe Games, in the not too distant future. This first...

    Spooky Music

    I've never used music at all during gaming, but there is one track I've been wanting to use for some time now, and that is "In the Hall of the Mountain King" by Norwegian composer Edvard Grieg. It's from his original music score for Henrik Ibsen's 'Peer Gynt'. The track is certainly creepy...

    Best.Pet.Evar

    A very low-Int female hill giant adept, who worshipped the PCs as gods; does that qualify as a pet? :p If not, how about a sometimes helpful (but more often annoying) pseudo dragon?

    Worst/Funniest Character Names of all time

    I'm not much for joke names, but I have used a couple. First there was the elven bard Sivle Artanis, who even had Skill Focus in Perform (Song). The joke was lame enough that no one in the group realised it was a joke name! :p In our current campaign, I wanted to play a character with no...

    Vikings D20

    It's true what Jonny Tuba just said; the book was completed and sent off to Le yesterday! :D Two years ago, I sat down to write a handfull of pages with houserules for a Viking campaign I wanted to run. Once I got going though, things started escalating a bit and now that little rules set...

    Vikings D20

    Has it really been that long? :confused: Well, their won't be third, I can promise you that much! But tonight I am actually celebrating a 3 year birthday; that of my oldest daughter. :D

    I would play a bard if. . .

    Ooops... :o Well, you know what I meant to type! <Raises foot, aiming for VB>
