So after coming back to ENWorld after years of being away, I notice that this site, according to Firefox, is not giving me a secure connection. I've tried getting on the HTTPS version, but am having no success, as it does not appear to even exist -- it gives me a "cannot find the server" error...

Something I'm a bit confused on. Reaping Strike is a nice little power that gives you half your Strength modifier in damage on a miss and your full Strength modifier on a miss if you're using a two handed weapon. But how does this generally work when Reaping Strike is used with one-handed...

Just took another read through the Burning Shaolin D20 rules for faceless hordes and wuxia-style combat and thought that these would be cool for a D20 Modern game. However, Burning Shaolin is set in the world of period Kung Fu cinema, and the modern day has introduced a new element to HK action...

Since we have some very cool Creative Exercises going on here, I thought I'd throw my hat into the ring. My guidelines and constraints for this particular thread are very much like the ones Joshua Dyal proposed for his Razina setting, but with a few changes of my own: Choose setting elements...

I have an idea born of a picture in my head of a division of shining-armored cavalry on gleaming white pegasi launching a furious charge against an enemy below. Basically, these pegasus-riders are from a kingdom in the sky that up until recently has been on pleasant terms with the land-bound...

Someone on this thread in the General forum mentioned that there was a fairly big thread about curses on this forum about a year or so back. I didn't get a response when I posted on the thread asking if someone with access to the search function would post a link to that old thread, so I'm...

So I was on RPGNet, and the Manapunk topic has been brought up again by someone who wanted to either create or borrow a setting that lends cyberpunk's "attitude" to fantasy. A few tidbits were bandied about, including a link to a kickass collaborative worldbuilding thread on much the same lines...

I loved the web enhancement for the DMG, the city enhancement that divides a city into a number of identifiable districts. I can definitely plan the layout of a city quite easily using this info, which is pretty damn impressive considering that I'm from a small town and have little experience...

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...

Hmmm, I see we've got a new forum (for at least a couple weeks anyway!). Right now, I've got a story on my mind, involving an ordinary woman who receives a mysterious package from a shady mail carrier who works for the mob. After finding out what's in the package (a gun and a photograph), she...

After reading through a thread describing a scenario where people were cursed to sing until they wasted away and died, this got me thinking about some other nasty curses that could be used in games and general fantasy. The curses I'm talking about range from fairy-tale stuff like taking away...

What is your favorite way you've seen the bad guy die in a book or movie? Funny, gruesome or otherwise memorable, I want to hear them. As for mine: Funny - the way the terrorist leader buys it in True Lies. Two words: "You're fired." Gruesome - the "Kiss of the Dragon" delivered by Jet Li in...

One of mmadsen's many excellent ideas in the Archive thread Little Changes with Big Flavor was to give powerful supernatural monsters a weakness, or some other way of defeating them with wits instead of force, but I did not see a corollary from anyone in the entire thread that dealt with...

Back when I was lurking on these boards, there was a thread where people posted various ideas for customs. The custom from the thread that most stuck out in my mind was a warrior culture's way of greeting people: they punched or smacked them in the face as a show of respect for their strength...
