    Going Nuclear:1D&D

    WotC isn't a person. The person who made the OGL is long gone from WotC and the person who decided to deep six the OGL is some corporate suit who doesn't know the first thing about D&D and who hasn't done anything for me in his life. So zero reason to give them any benefit of the doubt or any...

    Let’s Make a Hexcrawl Setting

    Here's the thread: http://www.therpgsite.com/showthread.php?t=33121 It's mostly musings over fairy tales and I think it's gone some interesting places. A lot of it is shaped by my experiences building the Shrouded Lands with you.

    Let’s Make a Hexcrawl Setting

    Have been doing a careful read-through of the first edition of Grimm's fairy tales. Will adapt some bits to the Shrouded Lands when I get a chance.

    This looks like excellent grist for the Shrouded Lands mill: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lais_of_Marie_de_France It hits the "melancholy stories of lost love" aspect head on.

    Seawig The traditional duties of a wife in the City of Shuttered Windows are onerous indeed. Among these is the requirement to memorize the taboos set forth by the Matriarch and ensure that their households are in compliance with them. The larger a household a woman maintains the more difficult...

    Crap, sorry Sanglorian, this slipped my mind while I was doing prep work for the game I'm running. Have the complete idea now will write it up tomorrow.

    Let’s Make a Hexcrawl Setting

    I accept and will answer the challenge tomorrow as it is nearly midnight here. As for melancholy vs. ennui, that is an excellent question. Perhaps ennui is more a condition of the mind while melancholy is a condition of the heart? Edit: wait, I'm getting the glimmerings of an idea. Who were...

    Let’s Make a Hexcrawl Setting

    I love this idea and ideas in general that build setting fluff into the rules. Let's see, what would be the kinds of stuff that would require a saving throw that would crop up most often in the Shrouded lands: -Melancholy (as you say). -Curses (lots of those). -Ennui -Bewitchment -Polymorph...

    Oh, wow, great to see you pop up on this thread. I hope you like what we've done with Thring, it's one of the most developed regions now. I've been really busy over the last year setting up my small business (the good side is, it's gone really well, the bad side is that a small business going...

    Interesting Decisions vs Wish Fulfillment (from Pulsipher)

    Yes, strange, I'll fix that when I have a minute. I wrote this up offline on the subway so I wrote out the quote tags etc. by hand and must've screwed something up.

    Interesting Decisions vs Wish Fulfillment (from Pulsipher)

    The reason I chose CaS in the first place was: -The idea that the decisions made DURING combat mostly determine the outcome which is rather like a sporting match (each game starts fresh) rather than warfare in which maneuver and logistics before the combat starts often determine the outcome with...

    Interesting Decisions vs Wish Fulfillment (from Pulsipher)

    I really liked the ideas that @Libramarian talked about in post #167. Good stuff there. OK. I’m having a hard time following the details of what went on because of the amount of 4ed-specific terminology. Both of my 4ed characters were heroic tier fighters and if you get much beyond that my...

    Interesting Decisions vs Wish Fulfillment (from Pulsipher)

    As far as CaS/CaW being edition war material I can see how it can be used for ammunition for that but that really wasn't my intent. Basically I wanted to explain to 4ed fans why I want to play a different sort of game then most of them want to play in a way that 4ed fans could get behind...

    Let’s Make a Hexcrawl Setting

    Any others?I’ve been looking through Shrouded Lands for things that would make good Non-Weapon Proficiencies 2ed style. Here’s what I’ve found so far: -Butcher: not sure what thing one should do, but want to include it. -Didgeridoo, Giant: the ability to play a didgeridoo made out of a hollowed...

    As everyone knows, kobolds are the things that dragons have forgotten and so they name themselves. If you want to randomly generate the meanings of kobold names translated from dragonic consult the follow table: 1. The memory of burning cows 2. The memory of soaring through broken towers 3. The...

    Here we finally go, sorry for the delay. The document have been chopped into a couple sections to make it less cumbersome and LOTS AND LOTS AND LOTS of art has been added, nearly every entry has an image. https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B6z-iUIH4P8aeVBPWFRQQk9zbjQ/edit?usp=sharing...

    Let’s Make a Hexcrawl Setting

    I've got one that's more up to date than any DOCX I've posted here. However to fit it on google drive I'll have to chop it up into a couple different files. I'll do that tomorrow, have to go to bed now. I'll try to pitch in with the wiki myself ASAP, but I'm hip-deep on some campaign prep work...

    Here's my contribution to the 2014 Secret Santicore, I was asked to make a random d20 table of military units for weird fantasy armies and I came up with this, mostly by putting in various elements of the Shrouded Lands...
