Avra, absorbed in his thoughts, does not immediately notive the newcommer. When he does, he finds it difficult to conceal a sarcastic smile. He shakes his head and looks up to the heavens: "Gods, does this mist know no limit to its absurdity!" He sighs and walks over to the small man: &quo...

To BBarbarosa : I know my players well too, but they play a variety of roles. The lawful neutral cleric will hang with different people than the chaotic neutral barbarian or the chaotic evil ranger or the neutral good scholary wizard...

I havw to say that I agree with what Alhoon was aying - most NPC only get as much attention from me as my players give them. I have found myswelf frustrated in the past, building up an in-depth character that the PCs talked with for about 2 minutes and then, at the end of the session, they would rat...

OOC: Sorry guys - hectic hjolidays. But they're over now! And by the way: You forgot AVRA in the chain! :shock: (I'll just assume I was at the tail end...) ----- Avra has said little for quite some time now, content only to watch the porceedings and follow the others... When they stop, he unties him...

Highlights include: * An espresso machine (useless but MAN is it GREAT!) * new winter jacket and some leather gloves * Great shoes (which never happens - shoes are hard to shop for) * more bookshelves (can't get enough of those bookshelves - gotta clear the desks...) * A ne...

Aren't the creatures from the Books of S, QtR and USS the property of the authors? Wouldn't any republication or update to 3E/3.5 require their permission first? I'm all for it and anything I've published is fair game (not that I've done any monsters IIRC), but I think people need to be asked. Unle...

Personally, I would prefer to use Heaney's as well, at least to get a clue of what is really happening - for my Old English isn't really at the level that I could understand phrases like Mynte se mæra, Þær he meahte swâ, wîdre gewindan and on weg Þanon fleón on fen-hopu; wiste his fingra geweald on...

The joke is that many north americains that do not celebrate Christmas have become very sensitive (not many, but enough) that they take that as a paersonal insult. Like "What about HOLIDAY X?" They feel that because they celebrate a particular holidy and one person does not wish them a hap...
