I believe the Offal Golem is one of the monsters on the RealmsOfEvil site. The writeup on that thing officially grossed me out, especially with the description of the incredible stench coming from it and the friggin' maggots and flies that nest in it. I can see a lich or other powerful undead...

Turning this back toward ways to make magic interesting again, I'd like to add this little tidbit: Every powerful sorcerer or other magic-user has to have a weakness, a way to break his or her power without relying on more powerful magic. Because let's face it, if you can't overcome a sorcerer...

A slam attack just doesn't feel right to me with something as small as a mummified cat -- especially when cats have a set of claws and fangs to work with. Sure, getting clawed or bitten doesn't amount to much with a regular cat, but when a single scratch or bite from a mummified cat can infect...

Definitely. To use a modern example from a video game, Max Payne is a maverick cop who lost his wife and daughter to some killer junkies hopped up on a nasty designer drug called Valkyr. And to make matters worse, after the first few missions, he also gets framed for the murder of his DEA...

Forget campaigns, this would be a cool idea for a setting. There are two pantheons, an older and a younger pantheon. The new gods are currently in charge of the land of the gods, but in order to gain their power, they had to battle the old gods and cast them down to the mortal world. The old...

I loved that scene from Lethal Weapon 2. What exactly would that be? Only if they're resourceful enough to get the hell out in time. :]

I mainly had modern in mind. And as for some more: Being locked in the trunk of a car that is then pushed into the harbor. Being locked in a casket and buried alive. Being locked in a casket that is then thrown into the water (much in the vein of the first one). Being locked in a casket and...

You heard me right. I want ideas for deathtraps that most villains could set up without too much trouble and/or money, but that don't smack of James Bond cheesiness (that means no converging walls, pendulums, shark-pits or other such fare). Examples of what I'm looking for: Being trapped in a...

I am liking this story hour so far! When I first read it, I thought this was a Feng Shui game -- John McInnis's tirade is delivered like a classic Maverick Cop. And Osbourne's comeback was just superb -- the insurance thing was a nice touch. I had to smile at Del Bordreaux; he sounds like...

As mentioned above, Cowboy Bebop is one of the best anime shows on the planet. While "bounty hunters in space" is definitely a nutshell description of it, it doesn't really do the show justice. Spike, the main character of the show, spends most of the series as the essence of cool, though there...

Give magic a way to be defeated. If you cannot defeat magic by any means except stronger magic and/or magical items, then you have to explain why the magic-users of your campaign world didn't take over long ago (though a world ruled by sorcerers is a good fantasy standby). Maybe illusion magic...

Yeah, it's kinda sad to see Lin Lin go. She was one of my favorite characters in the first installment. I mean, what can I say? I like silly, whimsical, impulsive characters. And she also provided perhaps the most memorable moment in that first episode -- witnessing her friends getting the...

There hasn't been a reply to the game thread since the boards went down, and I was the last one to post. It's on the third page at the time of this post. Is the game still on?

Jadefinger comes across Mark Huan's body. The smell of gunpowder and blood is already rank in the air, but it looks like rigor mortis just kicked in a few minutes ago. Jadefinger takes a moment to bow respectfully and say a prayer to his ancestors, then takes several guns from the bodies of the...

Jadefinger rolls his eyes as he notices Mark's men running away screaming. Then he realizes... Mark! Taking aim, Jadefinger fires one last shot, aimed toward the remaining MP5K in Two Smiles's hand. At the very least, he wants to knock the gun out of his hands. Regardless of whether or not he...

:evil grin: I'm wondering if that Camaro can even fit through that door... As for what I'm planning on doing after the cue-ball stunt, I'm going to try shooting the other MP5K out of Two Smiles's hand, and then I'm going to go back upstairs to check on Mark and let the martial artists handle...

OOC: If I recall correctly, the only one who hasn't posted yet for this fight is Corinthi. And for the rest of you, if you want to discuss how we're supposed to take this monster out, I've just posted in the OOC thread. That will be the last of my OOC posting in here for now.

All right, Mr. Smoke just made us take our strategy discussion to this thread. So, how do you guys plan on taking Two Smiles out? All we know so far about this guy is that he's good with guns (possibly as good as Jadefinger) and that guns can't hurt him. Any suggestions?

OOC: That's pretty much the tack I'm going to have Jadefinger take, but I'm going to have him keep his distance -- he's already got two bullets in him from shooting it out with Tony and his punks, and I don't much envy his chances in a close-up fight, especially since: 1) We don't know what...

Count me in as a fan of foreign action cinema. The Killer has already been mentioned. The goal of the title character is to raise the money needed to fix the eyes of a singer he blinded while executing a hit in a restaurant, but the main emotional focus of the movie is the bond of friendship...
