    Any tips on spicing up an ocean voyage and/or battle?

    Wow... it worked out great! First I had them encounter a group of sharks that could hypnotize people into jumping off. The shark alone freaked them out, but when they watched as a bunch of the crew members jumped off, they got super-scared. And when the sharks friends showed up, they ran for...

    Your RPG moment of 2003

    my favorite moment was a raid on a bandit camp. I played a half-elf marshal leading a group in a bandit hunting mission. I sent the rogue in disguised as one of the bandits we had captured, to scout the place out. Then I came in dressed up as the "ghost of the bandit king", and due to a nat 20...

    Campaign quotes

    This just happened today. DM: The bandits are all dead. Player One: I search the bodies. And I'm really good at it, 'cause I'm a rogue. Player Two: You're an elf too. That helps. Me: Yah. It helps you check the bodies for secret doors.

    Question about the Witch King in LOTR

    I just read the scene. Basically its cause aragorn is hard core. The witch king stabs Frodo, and he puts the ring on. before he fades to black he sees aragorn leap from the shadows with "a flaming brand in each hand," and then thats basically it. So its cause nazgul dont like fire, or b/c...

    Non-coin currency

    How about beads as currency. or currency backed by a precious commodity that isn't gold. In Dune, each family of the fremen has a certain amount of water. A kilo of water is represented by a "water bead", which if i remember correctly women braid into their hair for safekeeping. These beads can...

    Natural Gas Scare

    Wow... that was freaky. Here's what just happened. I heard this loud sound start, like a big car idling, and then about ten minutes later I smelled natural gas. So i checked the stoves and the furnace, and everything was cool, and I couldn't figure out what was going on. So I got a flashlight...

    How "Human-centric" is your campaign/setting?

    imc, humans are actually the enemy. they and thier god-king live on an island corrupted by magic, biding thier time before trying (again) to conquer the world, which is full of the "other" civilized races: elves, orcs, kobolds, dwarves (Communist dwarves!), and gnomes. you can read about it at...

    Movies that I just don't get

    What I simply cannot understand is the appeal of reality tv, especially survivor. For one thing, there is no way that reality tv is actually real, because people's actions are always tainted by the knowledge that they are on camera. I mean, sure, some people have the jewels to just be...

    Sorry I haven't updated in a while, but I have the flu, or some sort of cold, and I've been too tired or head-achy to write anything vaguely coherent. I'll start updating again as soon as I get better. Freaking flu. Connor
