It's driving me nuts--can't find it in any dictionary or encyclopedia, etc. I've seen it used as a handle in various places, one of the Matrix characters was named Apok IIRC, and there was a Rifts RPG class called the Apok. A little worm in the back of my brain makes me think it is biblical...

I don't think Monte denied that "slavery, prostitution and human sacrifice" were in the book--he just clarified that in the book that HE WOULD WRITE they were not the focus--as the WotC ad for "The Book of Vile Darkness" by Monte'e Cooke (the clone) implies. I bet we still get our price rating...

I heard that FASA went under, and Shadowrun info certainly seems to be hard to find. If it is, it would be great to see someone buy the license and go d20 with it (though I liked a lot of the Shadowrun system, not all, but enough.) In light of Spycraft/d20 Modern this sounds like it might be...

And if I were a typing monkey, I would translate that as 'prostitution'. What, you people can't understand 'ad-monkey-ese'? I just find it hilarious that the WotC write-up makes it sound even less PC than it is. Their ad sounds like d20 Sin, rather than a supplement about evil stuff for a...

Well, I just re-read Beowulf for a class, and it repeatedly refers to the "patterned" type of sword. As far ranging as the Vikings were as well, it wasn't uncommon for them to 'appropriate' blades from elsewhere when the quality was superior to those they made at home. Anyway, as far as the...

What area is the campaign to be set in? This might help to nail down your character's background, because you could look at nearby regions. Aside from that, and working from your archer idea, at one point I was going to run a mounted archer from one of the Uthgardt barbarian tribes (detailed...

It's good to hear that you're taking it positively Doc. And to comment on the "they come when you're not looking" I have to say that personal experience has tended to back this up. When you are actually content being single, I think that the contentment shows--desperate and unhappy are not...

You're welcome P-kitty. I've got more if you need 'em ;) tribe

Hey now Doc, you hid the granny-porn too. There ain't nuthin wrong with that neither. Them old ladies deserve love too! Seriously though, Alison does seem to have some communication/intimacy issues, and having dealt with that sort of thing repeatedly in the past, let her make the next move...

Things to do other than dinner and a movie I'm sure we can come up some things here, for example: Theatre: always good, shows yous gots "kultur" Bowling: Sure, it sounds bad, but I'm down with anything I actually do better drunk Cooking: Maybe this comes a little farther down the road, but...

I'm also about an hour and a half away, in Columbia, MO. STL is a cool town--I actually have a couple of friends at Wash U right now, but I don't get out that way much anymore--an ex lives in West County and I just don't like to get that close... ;) tribeof1

Arravis-- If it makes it any better, I can't remember who says what in face-to-face conversations either. Hell, I don't even remember what I did last week (wait, that was spring break in New Orleans...) tribeof1

heh, sounds like Lady Luck is on your side this time. It sounds like you have the same problem I do--you've been burned enough times that you over-analyze everything. As someone earlier said, you just have to take things at face value until they give you a reason to do otherwise. Hope all...

I'd have to say that Tome and Blood is definately at the top of my list. It's been a huge asset, and several of the PrC's are quite useful for PCs, while others are great for flavorful villains (which is not a bad thing, IMO.) Sword and Fist and Masters of the Wild are pretty much tied for 2...

I think you're moving in the right direction here. You might reconsider all the different favored classes--essentially anyone playing a Nephelim has a favored class of any, because they can simply pick a House that favors their chosen path. I'd just go with a general FC of wiz/sor--they all...

I have to second David Gemmel and Tad Williams. I devoured all of the Drenai books by Gemmel in about a week and a half (as fast as I could find them at the store) and Memory Sorrow and Thorn was excellent, though they are longer reads. Saberhagen's Swords books are also quite good. And you...

Now, these are just personal suggestions mind you, but: I have to agree with Akunin and some of the others--as is, this campaign SEEMS simply too derivative for publication. This is fine--as has been pointed out--if you just want something for you and your buddies to play around with, but any...

Check out the 'Red Sails' campaign that was in Dragon a few issues ago for some goof early middle ages Russian stuff. I don't have my mags close by or I'd quote the issue # for you, but I'm sure someone here can tell you. Pretty sure it was within the last six months... Amos

I would guess that the main problem with the weapon is the holy aspect--that +2d6 against pretty much everything is pretty powerful. Personally, I hate having to just take away an item, (after-all, the PC has probably grown a little attached to the thing.) Also, later on when he's gained a few...

There we go! :D Gracias Scarab!
