    Coolest sidekick characters ever.

    Sidney Fung and Sergeant Randy Chang from THE KILLER. The best friends of the two heroes of the movie, who lay it all on the line to help their respective buddy out and actually manage to kick some ass in the process.

    Anyone know what this is (RE SPAM/possible Internet hoax)

    I've been getting "Citibank" emails of that nature too. I deleted them on the understanding that this was probably someone trying to get a credit card in my name, and I wasn't about to give an identity thief carte blanche to screw me blind, thank you very much. So this is a scam artist at...

    Hey Rangers! What is the *best* choice in Favoured Enemy?

    How about lycanthropes? If this is Eberron, maybe the ranger was a deadly archer who worked with the Silver Flame to take out werewolves and other lycanthropes during the Last War, earning him quite a nasty reputation among the local shifters as well as others. He's trying to put the past and...

    No vampire giants?

    A Vampiric Giant? NICE! :] The first clue would be the party coming across buffalo and other rather big critters sucked bone-dry, the only trace being fang-marks too large for a human-sized creature to make. Hmmm...big critter that makes absolutely no sound or tremor when it moves and that...

    Clever ways to hand out cursed items

    Let's see... You're talking about PCs getting hold of cursed items in ways other than finding them as treasure? Maybe some less-than-trustworthy person gives the PCs something that turns out to be cursed as part of the reward for a successful adventure, or they are hired to deliver something...

    And so I thought... what if mages attacked.... magically?

    Kinda like this. I can see spellcasters having a kind of signature magestrike. One wizard with a serious grudge against the undead might have a staff that allows him to cut loose with a +3 undead-bane ghost touch magestrike that manifests itself as a flying skull that shrieks toward the enemy...

    Are you creeped out by something benign..something like clowns? Teletubbies?

    I basically hate any flying critter that has a nasty sting and a good dose of aggressiveness. Especially if it's big. Don't EVEN ask me to clean out a wasp nest -- I ain't looking to be on the receiving end of a pissed-off swarm, thank you very much!

    Three One-Shots I'll Never Get Around to Running

    Whoa! "From Dusk Till Dawn," Mafia-style! Very cool. Maybe the enforcers have to join up with the few patrons who aren't vampires in order to stay alive against the menace of the living dead. Maybe one of the enforcers goes down early and rises as one of the bloodsuckers himself. Maybe...man...

    Archaic and just plain weird insults for roleplaying fun. :)

    Oh, I LOVE this one! Took me about five seconds to get it, but I love it. And as it so happens, I have a whip-fighter character that this would indeed work for.

    Bad RPG Poetry Competition

    Damn! Now that is good! That's inspiration for a character right there.

    Archaic and just plain weird insults for roleplaying fun. :)

    7) Try not to hurt yourself with that sword. Please. 8) Judging by the way you're swinging that arm, I'm surprised it isn't already broken. 9) Did you forget to sharpen your sword this morning? My kitten could scratch worse than that! 10) You move like a fat smelly donkey with four left feet.

    Servants of the Twilight King (full for now)

    Looks like I'm bowing out. The Rat will have to try his luck in another game. But rest assured that I will be checking out the game as it progresses.

    Servants of the Twilight King (full for now)

    Let's see...so far we've got: Keia, who has a psionic magehunter in mind, but has yet to get the OK from The Other Librarian. Isida KepTukari, who has posted her character, the fighter Myna Basi a.k.a. "The Moth" Blue_Genie, who's posted a hell of a backstory about Rorgun of Wrath Alley, his...

    Servants of the Twilight King (full for now)

    So we're planning to go Dark Fantasy, huh? Nice! Perhaps you wouldn't be averse to a professional assassin in the crew? Someone who's worked with the Empire to take out rivals and threats to their rule, but who is secretly looking for some way to get the hell out of the business and redeem...

    Why isn't reselling illegal?

    Reselling of old stuff has always been a time-honored practice. Since we forked over some good money for that stuff to start with, reselling that stuff once we get sick of it is a good way of getting that money back and taking the stuff off our hands in the bargain. When we're dealing with a...

    Zelda: Warrior Princess 2.0

    He definitely has that "wise man" look about him.

    What traditional fantasy conventions are you tired of?

    For my Deathsworn setting, which pits noble warriors against the unholy princes of a frozen realm ruled by vampires that have recently lost their king, I'm only using humans as a PC race. And I've thrown out perhaps the biggest fantasy convention of all: magic. Yes, magic. There's a lot that...

    Ideas for a simpler D&D *mostly about skills*

    I've thought at length about just giving PCs the standard equipment that every adventurer would need (backpack, bedroll, flint and steel, one day's rations, sack, several torches and waterskin) as a kind of package deal, instead of handing the players X amount of GP and making them go and buy...

    Zelda: Warrior Princess 2.0

    Now I have this picture in my head of Link and Zelda tackling a dungeon together, hacking up monsters, divvying up items, and then double-teaming the bossman... :]

    Solomon Kane

    I snagged a copy of the book too. Solomon Kane would make a damn good paladin, wouldn't he? Though he does come off as rather grim...
