    [OT] Sandwichery of the Dark Ages

    I often wondered who was the first guy to drink beer. Most alchohol is fermented, so it had to sit around for a while, but what possessed him to actually drink it??? (Seeing how my workday is slow, Im off to google to find out)

    Any Word on the 3.5 Druid?

    As opposed to the "skin flayed from the back of helpless animals?" Interestingly, thier ethos allows them to use metal raped from the earth for thier sickles, daggers, and scimitars. Weapon restrictions are anti-thetical (that right?) to the theme of 3rd ed. Options not restrictions. Boot...

    Talents or Broadening of skills

    Staffan: That's true, but really concentration is worthless to anyone that's not a caster, and all casters get it as a class skill. Its true that some stats are more skill-heavy than others, but really, that doesnt matter to this house rule much. It just allows you to broaden your character a...

    Talents or Broadening of skills

    All characters can have cross-class skills based on thier stat bonuses. These skills are called talents and can be purchased at 1 to 1 ratio just like a class skill but are still limited to your level +3 divided by 2. You can have one talent per natural bonus of a skill. i.e. A character...

    Why are cursed items so cheap?

    Well at least for the items listed above...they have great uses. I had to force myself not to buy a Robe of Powerlessness. That thing is just plain broken.

    Why are cursed items so cheap?

    I've been reading over the cursed items in the SRD and Im wondering why they are so cheap. Bestow Curse is a 3rd/4th level spell and it seems that the items should be just as expensive as the non-cursed ones. In the hands of players, they are just as useful. In some cases, even more useful...

    When players make you say "Cool"

    2nd Edition Bag of Devouring...best item in the world. Disposes of corpses, evil monster eggs, evil artifacts etc. We ran into a failed lich, basically a wiz that couldnt die but couldnt use spells either. We killed him and right before he died, he said, "I'll be back" Pulled out the Bag...

    Author (and artist) of The Book of Erotic Fantasy

    I have no use for the book myself, but I will defend the right to publish it. I have no desire to roleplay sex with the guys that I play games with. I'll do that kind of roleplaying with my fiance :) Also want to throw out some applause to Merak. I've never seen someone so tolerant and...

    Druids?

    Thoqquas. They are the best creature. period. for summoning. I call these guys my fiery torpedoes of doom. They can burrow through anything, considering they are hot enough to melt rock. Need to get through the castle gate? Send two or three of these little buggers to melt it down. Even...

    The Rape of Morne - Part 2 (Updated 2/26)

    I have to agree with Tallarn. Wow. Simply wow. Its very few times that I get chills and watery eyes from reading great passages. This story hour has had quite a few. I can't wait to read the next installment. Wow. Thanks for sharing this great story with us Sepulchrave. Brian

    Another LARP Gone Astray?

    I played in LARPs but none of them were as interesting as that story. Boy, I'd still be playing em if they involved lots of duct tape and nudity. :D :D :D :D

    Cloak and Dagger FR supplement

    Is it useful for info on the secret organizations of the Realms? I'm running a Harpers-based campaign and was wondering if it was worth the cash. I guess Lords of Darkness would be useful for the evil orgs.

    Cloak and Dagger FR supplement

    Is this avialable for download anywhere? I thought it was a free download a while back, but it appears to be not the case any longer or I was confused. I've looked for it in ESDs and cant seem to find it. Any suggestions? Thanks
