The Hive is (realy) Dead! Long Live the Hive Mind!

Back story is good. It defines the character and his/her motivations. Also gives the DM something to use to make the story and character relate.

I've had PCs do this but never on such a scale!

My one NPC, Lady Elaydren, is close in my current campaign. She used the Dragonmarked houses, PCs and even married a House leader just to get what she needed.

I left her being killed by Tyrnaids (specialized fiends) but one of the people, Kim Elderich, finding her and returning her body to the husband. I may have House Jorrosco ressurrect her to get the PCs going again.

HOW they hate her.

I thought of using Tyranids from warhammer 40k as the center piece for a home brew world. The world is one large land mass with small islands all around.

The standard PC races live on the smaller islands and in the water and air. The large island is dominated by an unknown race of beings. They are legend but so ingrained in everyone that no one goes to the island. Actually the humans have a thriving kingdom on a peninsula. It looks like the DMZ in Korea x1000 with a military buildup that would make Hitler jelous. The soldiers sit and wait for an invasion that may never come.

I have the elves as aquatic elves. The gnomes live in flying cities and use airships. Halflings and Dwarves live among the humans for the most part.

(I am a big fan of elves, so this question is mostly curiosity )?

AHHHH! Elves.


I am a human fan with the occational dwarf. I really want to try a gnome sometime. The whole idea of how Zilargo and The Trust works intrigues me.

Sounds good to me. What kind of elf? (I am a big fan of elves, so this question is mostly curiosity )

Say, are you the sort that likes to have a decent amount of character history (that is, before you actually begin running him) that helps to "explain" the pc's actions and can serve as possible "plot hooks" for the DM?

He will be a moon elf.

I have never had much of a history for characters. Quintin was writing a history of his life in his own point of view. He looked at the mortals that became gods and wanted to follow in their footsteps. He started writing his own Bible. I didn't get very far in that though.

My first character was the only one with any real history and was mainly due to help from the DM.

I'm feeling the erge to do the Eberron comic again for posting here. All the talk of Comicbook roleplaying and eberron with backstories and intrigue..... oooooohhhhhh....

Well, at least he doesn't seem too ambitious.....

What do you guys think of an illistrated comicstrip "published" here daily of Eberron? I would put it in the Storyhour section.

I'm going to just lean back and enjoy the antics of the other players. I don't have to deal with it as the DM anymore.

Lets see some samples first.

There really have only been two gnomes I have ever played. One was Wobble the Wondrous of Waterdeep - he was a bard/ranger/wizard and was great fun. The other was back in the old 1e days and was named Segojen (after the gnomish god). He was a quiet, introspective sage sort who was a cleric/illusionist. I REALLY liked playing this character.

But Elves have always held the closest place to my heart rpg wise. Then the thri-kreen! (Yes, I have always liked this race and the rp'ing possibilities that come with it.) Then gnomes.

Dwarves I was never able to get into, nor halflings.

Humans were okay. Half elves ... meh.

I played one half orc. Shagratym. He was a terrible and evil creature who ended his days being assassinated by a fellow party member.

Some day I would like to play an Elan.
