Liberator background story. Good for trying to decipher why they do what they do at times.

The Liberation of Tenh (updated April 24)
- Thread starter (contact)

You know I've never really been comfortable with Mord's Dis, being able to destroy artifacts. Backlash or no. I mean if you can destroy some powerful artifact just by taking a 5% once or twice a day, then where's the incentive to go on the epic quests.
Glen Cook has a great bit in one of his books either one of the Books of the South or The Swordbearer (possibly both) where he describes how the greater the evil, the more evil that must be done to overcome it. So that when the evil is finally destroyed. Lo, another has simply taken its place. The lords of darkeness are crafty in that regards.
Great to see an update (contact). You've managed to beat both Sepulchrave and PKitty! Congrats.

I was just thinking to myself today that it was about time to bump (contact)'s story hour. I click my way to the Story Hour forum and what do I find? Another great update! Nice to know that Heydricus is epic though I wonder if it will do them any good against Iuz. I can't wait to see this showdown.

*sniff* I raise my glass to Whistlin' Pippin Jumpscreek, the first PC (contact) created for his Temple of Elemental Evil: 20 Years After game.
I think the next time I make a character, it'll be a happy-go-lucky halfling rogue named Pippin. I'll be doing it for the children.

Great!!! An update! More Liberator goodness! I love Heydricus staring at himself in the mirror feeling "epic." (contact), you do such a great job of portraying him as self-involved and charming at the same time. And your sense of humor as always has perfect tone.

The tingling means it’s working!
Man, too awesome. Here, (contact): another "Best Dialogue Ever" trophy to add to the pile.

Thanks, Z (both of you).
That's the way Chris plays him as well. Super nice, huge heart, valiant and brave, and . . . he really digs himself. Wouldn't you? (Kisses bicep)
Heydricus rox. But one of my favorite scenes to date (at the table) was the party wizards all failing saves against the Demonomicon and trying to out-do one another with the Book-Inspired Really Bad Ideas.

(Wow, both zoroaster100 and Zarathustran posted to this thread in succession. I think "Also Spracht Zarathustra" is now this thread's official theme music — appropriate, considering the similarities between Heydricus and The Nature Boy, Ric Flair.)
Okay, so in this thread full of feverish ranting in General RPG Discussion, I mentioned that I'd gotten the inestimable (contact) to provide consultation on a couple of Relics & Rituals books. I think it was coyote6 who asked which ones, but when I logged on this morning to reply, the thread had been locked (the rantings had grown too feverish). So...
Hey, everyone! Did you know that (contact) provided some design work and consultation on the Sword and Sorcery titles Relics & Rituals: Excalibur and Relics & Rituals: Olympus? He was a great help in figuring out how to make the prestige classes work, never my strong point, but a real skill of his. Plus, since he has a good background in martial arts, you know that R&R:Olympus' "Master Pankratiast" prestige class looks pretty decent. He even rewrote some PrCs without being asked, and they look great! The books aren't, alas, filled with the signature humor that you've come to know from this thread, but if you're in the market for some chivalric or Bronze Age fantasy, check 'em out. (contact) kicked ass on them.
