Falx -- isn't that the Tarrasque Homeworld from Spelljammer?

Old RPGA module series during the 1E era with a silver dragon patron, IIRC.

How the Mighty are Fallen -- an "Arcane Age" adventure about Netheril.
The Sleeping Dragon Inn -- famous for featuring Warduke and co.
Falx -- isn't that the Tarrasque Homeworld from Spelljammer?

Two out of three isn't bad Gez. However, you're thinking of The Shady Dragon Inn, which was an old 1E product, and had nothing to do with the Tarasque.

Also, just to nitpick, the world Falx (from Practical Planetology) did have packs of Tarrasques roaming the surface (yes, packs of Tarrasques), but sages were divided on if that was the Tarrasque homeworld, since some held that they were just creatures that looked and acted exactly like the Tarrasque.

I'd forgotten about that. Good guess, though Gez was closer in identifying what I was thinking of.

Shady Dragon Inn was not an ADnD product. It was for D&D.

It was also the WORST RPG product EVAR made.

Week 4 ends in another landslide!

I think this next one is going to be tougher, though. The troll is a big brute, but the belker is... just evil. The fast healing is really handy, though.

Nah, I'd say Troll Frenized Beserker wins this one. Belkers are tough, but not even a soul drinker one can take on a Troll Frenized Berserker.

 

[Felon]

Sure would be nice to see some actual stat blocks for these suckers....

 

[Jdvn1]

What's a Troll without a soul, though? Trolls aren't smart enough to handle a Belker.

And we don't really need stat-blocks -- well, I dont' think so, anyway. It isn't about who'd win in a fight, it's about your favorite.

 

[Alzrius]

Considering that a soul eater is dealing energy and ability draining, I think it'd win. That said, I voted for the belker, because anything vile is really cool. I also like that he seems more like a real NPC (a name, a prior appearance) than just a nameless troll meant to do more combat damage.

Of course, my guy lost last time, so maybe I'm off this time too.

I don't care who could win in a fight, I just choose who I think is cooler. I thought the Beholder Swashbuckler was a much more interesting monster, so what do I know?

Go Trollie!

Week 5 -- otherwise known as the Battle of the Broken PrCs.

I'm voting for the Belkar. The Troll FB is too cheesy-powergamerish, but that's exactly why it will win (narrowly).
