    Sailors on the River of Worlds- Update

    Well, its a Science-Fiction series, dealing with catholicism, the writing of John Keats, and the ideas of Teilhard. (evolution of god to the omega point). Its got some great ideas, but not so many that will fit in a dnd setting. I also wouldnt want to give spoilers in the overall plot (mainly...

    Sailors on the River of Worlds- Update

    Dan Simmons That's exactly what I thought of when I read the title of the thread. Dan Simmon's Hyperion, The Fall of Hyperion, Endymion, and The Rise of Endymion. In these books, they have devices called Farcasters, which are basically portals between different planets. One major device in...

    Sagiro's Story Hour Returns (new thread started on 5/18/08)

    Seki Has the stats to the Seki been posted? I really like this monster concept and intend to use in my current campaign. I've worked up a set of stats for it, but I wanted to compare to Sagiro's version.

    PCs who kill everyone that attacks them

    I pretty much play my NPCs according to the personality I created for them. Some of them grovel when beaten, some spit in the pcs face, some look for ways to escape, some look to help the pcs in return for freedom, some try to trick the pcs to attempt to kill them a later day. Theres no...

    PCs who kill everyone that attacks them

    Interesting Its interesting to see the replies about the situation that happened in my game. The different POVs are interesting and pretty much sum up the different views of the players. I sent them out an email today to explain how I was seeing things as a DM and so on. I explained the laws...

    PCs who kill everyone that attacks them

    Last night I had a situation that caused some discussion among my players and I wanted to get some more input. The situation: While staying at an inn, the PCs are awakened by men kicking in their door and attacking them. After a lengthy battle, all attackers except one are dead. The one that...

    Piratecat's Updated Story Hour! (update 4/03 and 4/06)

    Smells like...Night Below! I ran Night Below about 5 years ago. It was a great adventure. I love the way you're incorporating the kuotoa city from it into your ongoing campaign. Great stuff as always PirateCat!

    Min/Max an Akashic

    Well, the feat is pretty powerful, that I will admit, but it can only be used once on a person. Period. As to getting the truename from Delve into Personal Memory, it would make a good question for Monte's boards. I think Ill go do that right now :) There's no rule that says it wouldnt...

    The Age of Blood returns! (updated: 5/19/04)

    Bravo! May Terferos judge the fallen well. :)

    What do you think about Monte's new PHB Racial Levels?

    I like em. Don't like +ECL mechanic, as it makes for wonky characters with reduced hps but powerful in other aspects. I would love to see racial levels replace half-dragon, half-celestial, and half-fiend templates for pcs. But that's just me.

    Arcana Unearthed: Pro's and Con's

    Let me think back to the last two games I played of AU. Did I have a blast? Yes. Did the art in the book matter to the time I had playing the game? Nope.

    Arcana Unearthed: Pro's and Con's

    Yup, you're right. There's a lot of resued material in AU. If I had to give some cons, it would have to be the innuendo and intuit direction skills still being used. I would probably use the 3.5 skills instead. In general however, I love the book, and am currently running one and playing in...

    Arcana Unearthed: Pro's and Con's

    30 dollars for a B/W book with new content vs 90 dollars for colored regurgitated crap. Hmmm. I'll take door number one Monte!
