    As a GM, which monster do you find the most difficult to role-play?

    I think of the smooth talking deal making manipulators as the arch devils. Most rank and file MM devils are the legions of hell, lawful order-taking soldiers of different types.

    I really like my Elric book.

    As a GM, which monster do you find the most difficult to role-play?

    There are other examples, the Temeraire Napoleonic Wars with Dragons series with a British naval officer and his talking dragon as protagonists comes to mind as well as this guy from He Man. That said I really enjoy bestial dragons and have a bit of a hard time including D&D dragons (and...

    Celebrating 50 Years of Chaosium!

    I do remember elements of sexual assault, sexual weirdness, and torture that were pretty rough. Some of the torture resulting from their don't kill each others' characters internal writer policy so that the regenerating Tempus got captured and sold off to a vivsectionist for a long time. Also...

    Celebrating 50 Years of Chaosium!

    Passed TSR in longevity after WotC bought D&D, Flying Buffalo was 1975 as well (not sure whether that was before or after Chaosium) but they sold out recently as well.

    Celebrating 50 Years of Chaosium!

    My first thought on seeing that display picture was "Oh yeah, that Thieves World thing! Too bad Thieves Word stuff is not available in PDF." The Thieves World novels were a great ongoing series I got from the library that complemented my early RPG days well. I flavored a +6 defender scimitar I...

    D&D 3.x 3rd Edition Revisited - Better play with the power of hindsight?

    I felt they generally delivered on doing megadungeons (Rappan Athuk, Tomb of Abysthor, etc.) with wildly variable deadliness and occasional humor which felt very like the 1e hinted default of Gygax's Castle Greyhawk. Also the Tome of Horrors was great for bringing a ton of 1e monsters into 3e...

    D&D General 5 Cool Facts About the Inca and How to Use Them in D&D

    Even if you don't use gunpowder, a D&D god of fireballs is kind of conceptually neat. Obviously the rainbow Llama is the local appearance of Tiamat. Raising the question instead of what is the llama-dragon connection? I agree a potato goddess would be pretty cool.

    TSR Why would anyone want to play 1e?

    I'd agree the playstyle was good for a bunch of us and that that the organization and clarity of 1e rules was poor, but what else was good or bad about 1e varied widely from group to group. Some hated the lack of balance, thieves sucking, the extreme vulnerability of low levels, save or die...
