I've finally gotten around to reading Fall of Hyperion by Dan Simmons.

I used the layout of one of my old workplaces for a ghoul-haunted Shadowrun warehouse.

I want to preface this post with a statement of intent - it is not my intent to start any sort of edition war or argument about which system is better. In fact, the only real reason I'm mentioning edition numbers is for ease of reference. I also need to mention that I'd like to resolve this...

Some others from Pennsylvania. Note that some, well most, of these actually sound pretty cool, most notably the ones derived from Native American words. Jersey Shore, funny 'cause it's not at all near NJ Big Beaver, funny 'cause... well, yeah Bodies of Water: Wolf Pond Lake Nockamixon...

We were actually driving through Harford County, Maryland a few weeks back... they're selecting a county sheriff... they had a bunch of signs up advising you to vote for Sheriff Bane. I would not like to be arrested at all, but even less to be apprehended by Sheriff Bane.

Well, maybe not an actual alignment change... but I have an idea that in the future I'd like to have one of the PCs get captured by an evil faction, and be coerced into helping them do something nefarious for a session or two until the other PCs rescue them. Basically, I had an established evil...

The way I understand it, I think a case could be made for making all the variant types of elves more of a "faction" division than a mechanical one. I'd think only the Noldor would be mechanically different, and even they IMHO would be a slight variation on the elf entry, redoing stat bonuses...

Splitting my time between: The Divine Comedy by Dante, currently on Inferno Egil's Saga Wizard and Glass (Dark Tower IV) by Stephen King Varmints: Mystery Carnivores of North America by Chad Arment, on the cryptozoological front

None yet. We're aiming towards one, but it may end up not being the result of coitus (had to use a kewl geek word) since, well, my wife may have problems in that regard, unfortunately.

I assume the combat advantage granted by the Wintertouched feat still only effects the triggering PC, and not the other characters? I haven't kept up with all the errata and changes, so I don't know if Wizards decided this works differently or not.

I don't know if there's really such a thing as too many. I'd think as long as you have them written down so that your players can see what you're doing differently, it's all good.

The Drawing of the Three by Stephen King. Toll the Hounds by Steven Erikson.

- First and foremost, working on writing my book on the cryptozoology and such of Pennsylvania. I've actually gotten a few compliments on what I've put together so far. It'll likely be published through the CFZ. So far, I've got two complete chapters and quite a few fragmentary ones, two that...

It does work, 'tis the thing. And we were actually just talking about the old DnD cartoon and the baby unicorn... A good template for that upcoming Narnia campaign.

Going by the afanc's size and all -- seems also to have a bit of influence from the one in The Scar. Maybe that's just me. As an aside, how do you determine the level of monsters you convert? Based off of HD, CR, or just eyeballed?

The first one sounds homebrewed. The second -- didn't a monster in the Sword & Sorcery Creature Catalog for Scarred Lands work this way? I seem to recall one -- the Aberrant, maybe.

I, too, have always thought of dragonborn as more or less Japanese. Down to giving them samurai armor, katanas and the like.

First real experiment making an NPC for 4e. This is the soulless guy I posted about on the other thread in 4e Rules; he's based off a shadar-kai assassin with some extra powers, I tried not to make any crazy powers since the PCs are still fairly low-level. I gave him elite hit points - my...

So, I have an NPC appearing in my version of the Shadowfell who was afflicted by what I call the Oblivion Wind. I'm thinking I might try to make a monster theme out of this, as it's easily possible for more than one to exist. Basically, he's sort of hollow (think Sayid as he is on Lost now...

I took it as a fake porno title in Clerks reference upon reading the initial post.
