Re: help with encounter design: tunnels leading between Big Bad areas (Frozen South spoilers, if you are one of my playe
Okay, here's other ideas Raven_Crowking gave me ... Taking from Fence's Fortuitous Folly: What you want to look at is a structure that the players understand, with consequences they understand, and mini-encounters that are decision points affecting the whole of the sequence. Goon: (1) There is alway...

Re: Dying Earth
For the curious: yes, they are going for inclusive language and elimination of "he" as the default pronoun. Hurrah!

Re: Just started Jack Vance's Dying Earth
Thanks for this rec -- I'm hoping to start my Vance reading this week.billolmesdahl wrote: ↑Thu Apr 06, 2017 8:44 am I've always felt the two Cugel novels are the best in the Dying Earth series. They're all good, but I'd probably have a new reader go to Eyes of the Overworld before any of the other novels.

Re: Dying Earth
The Dying Earth kickstarter does look pretty fab. I'm crossing my fingers that Dying Earth won't write women players & judges out of the rulebook, and will have alternating-gendered pronouns, or at least gender-neutral. Anybody know? Thanks in advance. ETA -- looking over the Dying Earth sample ...

Re: Endgame
Exciting times today in my PbP that's been going for almost two years. My seven Players have reached the bottom of a megadungeon they've been in for six months and are dealing with terrible threat to the world that they learned about early on in their adventures. They recently recovered a magical w...

Re: Patron writeup: Druna, the Silver Goddess of the Moon
Totally tangential, but my eight year old son is a big fan of a short graphic novel series, the first of which is called The Boy Witch. It's about a society where females are expected to become witches and males are expected to become shapeshifters. I read it, and it's good. Definitely for kids but...

Re: Patron writeup: Druna, the Silver Goddess of the Moon
Fair enough. However, I think you misread: "Males cannot be clerics of Druna, though they may still become witches and serve her in other ways." The limit was on being a priestess, not on taking her as a patron or becoming a witch. I am so sorry for my mis-read! My apologies. I appreciate...

I'm cross-posting this from Reddit, in case any of y'all don't see it there. I'm having brain freeze for the next chunk of my campaign, and would be grateful for ideas.

Since absolutely no one has taken a stab at "why". Here's my best guess: The artist finds attractive female bodies arousing & orienting. So we have three female bodies who are basically 2-dimensional blow-up dolls: grabbable T&A, mouths obligingly frozen wide-open. Goodman Games do...
