    Death Puppets: a journal

    "hughgggggg .... sniff ... hughhhhgh ... " Puttinhead was breathing so heavily, we might as well have just told the puppets where we were. Garrian had a look of innocence on his face, "we should check out the rest of the house." Another smart idea from the kid. He comes up with some good...

    Death Puppets: a journal

    I'm surprised I didn't hear him yelling as he ran down the street. First of all, the streets were empty. Barren. No signs of life. Except for me, Garrian and Puttinhead sprinting for dear life. And now sprinting for the exact same reason towards us. It is the loud one again, Jeff and the...

    Destiny delivers. As the Loud-one and the female were called away ... TED ... TED ... the follower of Teha Maht, released us. Perhaps feeling the fall of a great deity he released us. He walked away and we were left to analyze our surroundings. As armor was doned I noticed that I was the...

    Death Puppets: a journal

    "Teha Maht?" "Yes, I serve the lord of Dragons. Mistress fang. The clawed master. She-" And then he ran out of steam. His shoulders slumped. "- ... who ... flies on leathery wings ..." It was the most bizarre thing. Herod watched as this cleric in bright, shiny armor just deflated. Instead...

    ... I cannot decide whether to use my cell mates to get out, or to sacrafice them to get out. More later.

    Death Puppets: a journal

    A gnome, a student, and a drunkard. What sort of city is this? I am put in a jail cell with a gnome, a student and a drunkard. The gnome tells me his name. It was long as he was tall. So, he grants me his nickname. From here on out I am to call him Puttinhead. He consistently tries to...

    Death Puppets: a journal

    I walked out of the mist. Without my donkey or cart. The man within the mist had offered help for my village. He said I must do him a favor. I felt such power from him that I even had I refused he would have taken anything from me. My death would not help. I walked out of the mist. Sword held...

    Death Puppets: a journal

    Herod. It's my name. It's everything my mom ever gave me. She was a town prostitute. Eventually vilified by the church and quartered by horse in the town center. The same church I know survive under. And the same town center littered with debris from the influx of undead armies. My...

    Death Puppets: a journal

    WARNING: this contains spoilers for the Malingo/Figlio campaign in Ravenloft. Don't cheat! Everyday is the same thing: survive. The only good thing I have to look forward to is the hope that things will be the way they once were. I may have been a street rat, but at least there was a...

    Humanoid race with a Str bonus

    stone Eh ... I say go half-orc. There are a couple picture of half orcs looking cool. I remember one of two half orcs having a brawl in a tavern and they're breaking a table. It's in one of the books. I say, make your own race. Amazon. Make it a female from an island of all females. And...

    Humanoid race with a Str bonus

    Strong cuties You might also want to check "Races of Stone." The dream dwarves and whisper gnomes may be something to check out. (also the Stonechild, but that may be too powerful for your campaign) The dream dwarf is this hippie-earthy-crunchy type that actually gets a bonus to it's CHR...

    player vs. character knowledge: WHATABOUT DM vs npc knowledge?

    I was just thinking about this. And I have had several gaming sessions where a DM will raise the DC of a bluff check, or give big bonuses to the NPC in a diplomacy check ... based on the DM's logic. "Well, I'm going to give the cleric a +7 because you're trying to sound like his diety." ...

    Does "Fantasy Role Playing" attract people who have a hard time in reality?

    :eek: HOLY (profanity) .... :eek: See, I have come across DM's who don't feel fullfilled in life, and love to have the control in game. They are respected, make the decisions, and can be better than you just because they choose to. I HAVE come across that. BUT I also work with Sheriff's ...

    Does "Fantasy Role Playing" attract people who have a hard time in reality?

    Hm. I have a friend who plays the same character for every campaign. Sure the classes change, and the special abilities change ... but the personality and major portions (gender, looks, abilities...) are pretty uniform. If we enjoy being that same kind of person in a fantasy world, is it a...

    Does "Fantasy Role Playing" attract people who have a hard time in reality?

    I think that is basically my observation. You word it perfectly. And that's what i've noticed. I myself have a degree in communication and interpersonal communication, and in life (in general) I'm very direct. I tell people what I want, and I don't mince words. I find that many of the people...

    Does "Fantasy Role Playing" attract people who have a hard time in reality?

    Hmp. I do agree with everyone. In a certian sense. I mean it's not like I game with a bunch of looney-bin, insane people. But in the same vein I don't game with mainstream type crowd either. It isn't a clear dichotomy of "MAINSTREAM-BUBBLE-GUM-POP/FRATBOYS" or "INSANE-UNKEMPT-NEVER-DATED"...

    Does "Fantasy Role Playing" attract people who have a hard time in reality?

    I was thinking about this today. "Does 'fantasy role playing' attract people who have a difficult time in reality?" Does it attract people who are passive aggressive, or who would like to control EVERY aspect of their lives? I understand this is not a blanket statement. That I'll receive...

    Who Else Thinks This Dude Is Hot?

    yeah, even if I had a bunch skill points in "Performance: SPANK", I wouldn't be interested in him. Nor, Regdar or Krusk. MAYBE Sloviss ... but not even that, really. I guess, if could have the "Donkey Punch" Feat I may take the sorcerer dude (forgot his name.). But rarely do I find the guys...

    Who Else Thinks This Dude Is Hot?

    Nah. He has too much scruffy, not enough fluffy. I either like really queenie boys that are so girlie, when they talk a purse falls out of their mouths. Or the guys who look like Undergear models. All straightie and bumpy in the gut region. THis guy? He needs the fab five.
