Before I joined the Planet, in the former incarnation of "me" I was well... A Powergamer.. It was the 90's I was young, people change. But my funniest moments (so far) hark back to those days, I have a few, but this one sticks in my mind, from a Con Actually: Playing a Spelljammer tourname...

I havent posted in a while, so I thought I'd ask a question. We all know Elves and dwarves and the like use infravision, but what does it mean? Basically there seem to be two schools of thought: 1. Low light vision, just like night vision goggles or whatever.... 2. Infra Red vision, seeing heat as c...

I would have to judge this as the same type of situation as putting a portable hole inside a bag of holding or vice versa. From the 1E DMG, p 152: "If a bag of holding is placed within a portable hole, a rift to the Astral Plane is torn in the space, and the bag and the cloth are sucked into t...

yeah I found a few more things to make it look even better now ;) I have done up the full page for Shaleton on the Ankhur website for those interested in a print off for the own worlds in an emergency city need ;) http://www.padnd.com/ankhur/shaleton.php This will be the template style for all of A...

Most of my PC's would feel at home in Palanthus or Kendermore, its where I started and where I feel the most at home. As a DM I prefer my own Homebrew world "Torus" exactly as it sounds, a donut surrounded by water, very familiar to Ankhur. Its where Jenara calls home. I never got on with ...

Ok, right admission, stole this from the Wizards Facebook site, I'm not ashamed to say that because I think we can make something better of it. What Fantasy Realm would you most like to call home? Be it an off the shelf world or a homebrew you like to call home.. where is it? Is it a place or a city...

Glossop, I saw this when you posted it and then never responded, was a little busy at the time. I like the idea, esp. bringing back old favourites, I did think of doing something similar, then the players could slip into those oh so familiar roles, the ones that fit then like a second skin. The open...

Yep its still going... Strong as well! So thinking, I wouldn't play an Orc or Goblin etc, Many of the humanoid races are based on us, but the Orcs etc seem to be based on some nomadic tribe from the Amazon! (exaggerating I know, but you get the idea) I could never see myself playing such a creature,...

This is supposed to be a fantasy Role Playing Game, its just unwritten that its a Heroic Fantasy Game. After all who wants to play a normal person? Or even worse who wants to play a Bad Guy? Its weird how every character seems to have at least one score over 15... Anything over 12 is better than ave...

Dude, I would LOVE to play a gnoll! If Jenara is running a campaign in our new player realm (Ankhur), you should ask to play a Bugbear... they are a dominate player pirate race in the sea realm ;) I'll do the conversion for you if A) you want to play one and B) she'll let you IL cheers I planned on...

LWW.... Drake didn't fit me, but yeah he was too impulsive for a dwarf. That's part of the fun of playing out of personal character; being someone you don't believe you could be and the challenge of making it work. Then again, that might just be me. I'm just rusty... ten years worth of rusty... I n...

Larisse got burned by people she cared about and now feels lost. She could grow that resentment into a selfish streak (not that I'd recommend that, as it would make working with the rest of the party difficult). Cuz those guys are a walk in the park otherwise.... lol Thanks Stik. LWW.... Drake didn...

A couple things: - since they are in completely different games, it should not matter if they act the same. Just sayin :) - perhaps try to establish a very specific mental image of each, or choose a theme song for them. Then when you post, think of that song. Thanks SBX, yeah three different games,...

Hi, Thanks for the replies so far, I've edited the post to reflect a few things I didn't clarify first time. These are Play by message board games, i haven't played tabletop since the late '90s... I don't have the luxury of scents and smells etc, sorry i didn't clarify that earlier. Angel and Lariss...

Hey, So I'm playing in three different Pbmb (Play by Message Board) games, and I'm having a little trouble separating the characters from each other.... The Characters are: Angel, Half Elf fighter, rather aloof and grumpy, but cute never the less.. she's 22. Larisse, elven mage / thief, she's sweet ...
