    Bow question.....

    I think I could actually make some kind of bomb with birdseed, a square of cloth, and a good mortar and pestle. Small enough particles suspended in air will explode violently if you can get the conditions just right... As for the lightning thing... How much range do you want, and can I hide a...

    The Rules of Adventuring.

    1. When in doubt, run away. 2. It's always an ambush. 3. It's always a necromancer.

    Bow question.....

    No, I mean, a bow that short just wouldn't work. The spring couldn't store enough energy to throw an arrow any considerable distance with any force. From what I've experienced you need about three feet of something to get a good bow going, and even then you'd probably have to make it a composite...

    Here is the eight page wall of text that came out when I started thinking about how humanoid great cats would form societies and cultures. I'll give you a cookie if you read it all. 3. The Sarr are humanoids derived from big hunting cats. Which means they eat meat, in quantity. Which means, if...

    Roleplaying Crunchies

    I suppose I'm asking because I've always been vaguely disappointed by games where the badguys exist only to die on my sword. I much prefer that the badguys have their own distinct thing going on, their own lives, empires, needs, and so forth. Something as simple as 'The Kobold's last chicken...

    Roleplaying Crunchies

    Fighting aside, what is Bob the goblins motivation to go running towards a bunch of well armed tin can suited adventurers that he knows are going to creme him? Why do the Kobolds risk life and limb to go after a shiny bauble they can't eat? What do they use them for? Is it a religious thing? Do...

    Bow question.....

    I'd like to say that short bows are so short they look really silly. Not that that is stopping me from making a bunch.

    Roleplaying Crunchies

    How do you like to play NPC's and Crunchies? is it all about gunho rushing into the waiting blades of the PCs, or do you try to give a little more depth to the NPCs you play? How do some of the basic crunchies differ in their outlooks on life? How do you roleplay animals, or golems, or the dead...

    European larps LOOK cool, but would they work for us?

    Now you just have to convince them to let us come in and knock around with siege weapons and armored heavy infantry. : )

    European larps LOOK cool, but would they work for us?

    Presitilitigation, the bane of fun loving folks everywhere. I've noticed that they let the European folks play around in actual castles. America has, to the best of my knowledge, a half dozen castles to go around for 330 million people, and half of those castles are imported.

    Titles for casters: wizard of..., mage, sorceror, what else?

    I'm always amazed how little people know about the history, theology, and doctrines of their own and other religions. Timmah the psychonaut. Beorn the Extrapolator of Potential Futures Vidal the Numerator.

    Titles for casters: wizard of..., mage, sorceror, what else?

    Even Christian religions, though they don't call it magic. Angels with swords of fire, turning bread and wine into flesh and blood, receiving blessings from beings on high, calling down rain, thunder, shattering city walls, slaying armies with the jawbone of an ***.

    staff vs polearm

    Alright, my belief that staves were useful weapons hinges on the following. 1. They only work in one on one fights or small group battles. 2. They only work against unarmored fighters 3. You need some room to work. 4. They're a peasant weapon. Most of the world, most of the time, had some...

    I've got a few boffer frogs Made up. Hold on a moment, I'll get some pictures. I have a few more pictures up here http://www.tacticalgamer.com/photopost/ ... user/24347 showing some of the other colors of frogs, a prototype helmet, and my pet rat. I've got the frogs in blue, oxblood red...

    Makeup Airbrush Recommendations?

    I have to say, the idea does make a make up character seem more appealing. Hmm. Cost, though.

    Titles for casters: wizard of..., mage, sorceror, what else?

    I call shenanigans. Neo-pagan, Wiccan, and other modern religions adopted those terms as having a religious meaning in the recent past, while the words preexisted in society and continued to evolve and have distinctive everyday connotations in mainstream language. Some similar examples are...

    Experience blankets

    You could always rep it as hearing a high, tinny ringing sound in your right ear after that last slap from the sewer troll, and having to wait until it clears up to re-gain your focus. Or you could talk plot into throwing a potion of restore logistics into the treasure pile every three events...
