Well, kind of.... "That's no moon!" Johnathan

I'd think the druidic tongue - being a sort of "secret club language" - is something it would be in the druids' best interests to keep from having variants - you want all druids to be able to speak with other druids from all over the world, right? Johnathan

In yesterday's "Dreams of Erthe" campaign session, the PCs: Had to skirt a forest since their wood colossus was too big to go through the forest without stopping to dislodge trees As a result, encountered a lone drow young woman sitting on a rock watching the sunset; the elf sorcerer noticed he...

In a D&D 3.5 campaign based on the Skylanders console game, I played a humanoid crow gestalt ranger/rogue who was a sidekick to my nephew's PC, a humanoid sheep gestalt "baabarian"/cleric. When it came time to pick an animal companion, I chose a snail (not wanting to upstage the "main...

I assumed it might be the Micro-World where Jarella is from. (That might even be her in the picture.) Johnathan

"Blind" cleric actually voyeuristic killer. Johnathan

I had another week-long business trip this week, and as a result, I got a lot of reading done. I finished up Spartacus: Swords and Ashes, which really captured the feel of the TV series well, I thought. And then I read: The Watchmaker's Hand, a Lincoln Rhyme novel by Jeffery Deaver. Another...

I did up a "shrink the PCs" adventure at the beginning of my current 3.5 campaign. The PCs were at the home of a wizard who raised "minimals" - miniature animals, which I converted from AD&D 1E/2E since they didn't seem to have made the conversion to 3.0/3.5 - and ended up betrayed and shrunk...

Along those lines...I'd watch a live-action (with some obligatory CGI) Thundarr the Barbarian. "Ariel, Ookla - ride!" Johnathan

It's generally traditional to actually face the monster you're fighting, though, isn't it? Johnathan

Check your back: it's possible someone stuck a "YUCK MY YUM" sign on there. Johnathan

Roshambo? (Take your pick: either the rock-paper-scissors version or the South Park variant.) Johnathan

I'm just starting the first of two tie-in novels to the Starz "Spartacus" TV series. The first one, Swords and Ashes, takes place before Spartacus escaped the ludus (it looks like it's right after he became the Champion of Capua) and apparently deals with lanista Quintus Batiatus trying to gain...

Here's another triple feature I'd enjoy: The Beast from 20,000 Fathoms 20 Million Miles to Earth Jason and the Argonauts It starts out with one of Ray Harryhausen's first movies with him in charge of the stop-motion animation (only one animated figure: the rhedosaurus) and continues on through...

Okay, I'll play: Akira Kurasawa samurai movies: Seven Samurai Yojimbo Kagemusha Each plays with the ideal of the glamorous life of a samurai warrior against the harsh reality such a life entails. My three picks are also in chronological order, not that I think it matters a whole lot. Johnathan

I like using jermlaine and osquips at low levels, and often will find an excuse for the PCs to have to go into a dungeon that I specifically designed to feature them. Johnathan

In today's "Dreams of Erthe" session, the PCs: Were approached by an air mephit, with a message from a noble djinn: his six daughters had each accepted assignments from drow wizards in the city the PCs were approaching, but had been tricked into servitude via genie traps: they were to serve...

Killed wizards, rescued djinni slaves. Johnathan
