Oh, they are southerners betrayed by their allies and handed over to the barbarians "never to be seen again." Only the allies were betrayed by the barbarians and the alliance is off... The allies will come seeking revenge eventually, but that's small comfort to those captured. They would be...

Nice! I can definitely use #2. Keep the NPCs coming but any non-barbarians should be slaves eager for escape and revenge...

Ravenloft should definitely be a magic and monster rare setting. Access to magic should be reserved to those who traffic with the dark powers only. Note I said magic rare, not low magic. Whenever magic and monsters are encountered, they should be powerful and scary, like in Call of Cthulhu...

Now I just need specific barbarian NPCs... Not stats, just motivations (plot hooks) and backstory.

Yes, slaves are present within the tribe and are badly treated (after all, you can always get more by raiding). ;) BTW: Thanks for that big list! Very cool.

Thanks for the replies! Anybody else got some more ideas? Games, initiations, ideas for NPCs, etc.? Background: The tribe is warlike with kind of a druidical/shaman type religion (nature spirits, trinity of gods: war god, his wife, trickster son). They practice extensive blue facial...

You forgot 2.5e, Skills & Powers, in your poll--the best D&D rules set that TSR ever made! Sure, it was broken, but at least it opened up all kinds of possibilities--even more than 3e.

Hi there! I'm looking for a fully populated human barbarian village that is as realistic and history-based as possible. Not concerned with character levels, magic, non-humans, monsters, setting, etc.--these will all be stripped out if present as it's to be converted to a d100 RPG system...

Credit card companies are scum. They are evil. You seriously think I should put them ahead of my customers and freelancers? That's stupid. They will just extend me credit all over again; my customers and freelancers would not. If you can't pay off everyone, you pay off the people that matter...

Billy, first of all, I don't appreciate being branded as a "lunatic." I don't remember calling you any names. Man, I hate all this wishy-washy "maybe they're just going through hard times" crap. That's sheep talk. You let these crumbums walk all over you and you deserve what you get. You're...

Well, there's been no company announcement since February and that's roughly the last contact I think any of us had with Mark. Check this thread: About halfway down the page, Steve Trustrum talks about his troubles with GoO as a Magnum Opus client... That's GoO's publishing program to help RPG...

I am bitter and jaded. ;) No offense, but I don't understand your attitude. Would you be happy paying $115 for a pdf? I did get my hardcopy of AGOT (very late) and my pdf--in fact, it was me who made such a fuss to Mark that he finally gave us the pdf because the hardcopies were so late. It...

BTW: Here's a site I just found that has a ton of awesomely helpful new feats, backgrounds, classes, etc., including an xls noble family generator and info on Ghis, Lhazar and Braavos. Plus extensive House Rules! Bookmark it! http://agot.pbwiki.com/FrontPage

LOL, thanks. I knew you'd see the light! :lol: But seriously, all the evidence points to GoO screwing everybody over--I've personally been screwed over multiple times by him for almost a year now and I'm mad as hell. Why should I give a care for Mark or his situation? That's his problem. This...

Not if it's what I think. ;)

Did you not see that Michael Bay is going to direct? That automatically means it will SUCK, despite numerous explosions meant to distract you from how talentless the whole thing is. :(

Teflon Billy, I agree that is one of the best pieces of art in AGOT; however, it's obviously very staged and "posey" looking. It lacks the proper sense of motion a more experienced artist would have given it. Plus, the horse on the left is making a stupid face and I don't think its body is...

Hey, I ran a one-man corporation (non-gaming related) that went bankrupt years ago and I still managed to fill my customers orders and pay off my freelance help AND get started again. Because I didn't stiff anyone except the stupid credit card companies (who were back extending me credit again a...

They landed the IP in 2002, IIRC, before all the hubbub, bub. ;) Trying to get it out could very well have helped mess them up. I think they did an excellent job of translating the first aSoIaF novel (AGOT) into an RPG, a terrible job of creating a complete fantasy rules set (no magic rules!)...

Mark stopped answering emails months ago from what I heard. I don't even know what I did with my copies of them. They gotta be saved on disk somewhere... I'll check for you.
