I was sitting here thinking "You know what RPPR needs?"

You guessed it...tits!

Its funny because just over my morning cheerios this morning, I was wondering why isn't Spock more of a badass, and then I see this picture. 

Boy I was proved wrong.

Thanks for the ideas.  I love Elder Evils.  That book has so many good storylines.  I started to think of a starter adventure to see if the players can work at all together.  I will see how this goes, it will be interesting to say the least.

RPGs / EEEVIL!!!

« on: November 07, 2009, 10:39:39 AM »

So I have been running Castle Whiterock from Goodman Games for D&D 3.5 since January of this year, and in this time, I have managed to kill 7 player characters.  Its a crazy hard dungeon crawl.  I am a DM that lets the dice fall where they may.  I don't pull punches on damage.  If a player decides to go off on their own, they probably will die.  On thursday, the players and I had a discussion about continuing the Castle Whiterock campaign or starting something new and fresh.  At this current time in the campaign, there were only TWO original players from the start.  The original story was getting lost due to the new influx of player characters.

So I put this to a vote on whether to keep playing Castle Whiterock or start fresh.  Of my six players, 2 voted to keep on, while 4 voted to start something new.

This brings me to my point, we as a group decided to start a whole campaign dedicated to EVIL!!!  I always had intentions to GM something like this but never thought it would happen.  I have decided to start the players at 3rd level (still in the 3.5 edition), and I am allowing some monster races as player races (ie. vampires, werewolves, mind flayers, minotaurs, trolls, ogres, etc...) So far my players are Super excited to play.  They are all delving into using the Book of Vile Darkness and are all trying to figure out what they want to play.  This is my cast of player characters so far:

Human afflicted with werewolf lycanthropy (level 3 monster class)

Drow Dragon Shaman (who revers red dragons)

Grey Elf Wizard (conjurer) (who wants to play an alienist and study the far realm)

1/2 Black Dragon 1/2 Orc Dread Necromancer (who wants to play a true necromancer from Libris Mortis)

Tiefling Hexblade

and one player who is completely undecided?

I have a lot of brainstorming ideas that I will like to use for the campaign(Orcus, Mephistopheles, drug smuggling, torture, and sacrifices are just some to start), but I would like to see what the fellow RPPR fan community have as any ideas on what to use in my total EEEVIL campaign.

Thanks guys.

Ross,

Awesome game of monsters.  Had a blast and it helped me understand how to run the game a whole lot better.  Thanks, had a blast.  Looking forward to a published Sucrose park next year.

anything by midnight syndicate or nox arcana is good for eerie scary music.  Don't really know what type of music you are looking for though.  If its D&D battle music, I really like a band named Battlelore.  They are awesome.

My Camo green D20 has been my staple D20 for a long time.  That D20 and I have a love hate relationship.  It does good sometimes, and other times I want to throw it across the room.

I got a copy of Level Up #1 awhile ago when I subscribed to the magazine.  Its a really good magazine.  I loved the look of it and the info in it is awesome.  It is really worth the 2 bucks.  Goodman games produces a lot of good stuff for D&D for a lot better price than WOTC.

It looks awesome so far.  I just looked it over and I am very happy with making the contribution that I did.  Great Job Ross, and all that helped along the way.

Tell Tom to hide, cuz I am coming out "Dog the bounty hunter" style to get him.  Forget that, I don't want to be all nice afterwards.  Tell Tom to run and hide.  Cuz I am out to seek and destroy!!!

The funny thing is that my real career is in the law enforcement field, but I am not a bounty hunter.

RPGs / What makes you scared, and How can you make a RPG game truly frightful???

« on: May 10, 2009, 09:41:15 PM »

I have always toyed with the idea of running a horror based game, and I always talk myself out of it due to the fact that I have never felt that I could be a good GM that could really get my players truly scared and thrown off their game. I always felt being scared is a state of not feeling in control of a situation. Anything that makes someone uncomfortable could make them truly scared. But what is that? So I enlist everyone here what makes you scared, freaked out, nervous, or uncomfortable?

Spiders?
Dark buildings?
Clowns?
Ghosts?
Heights?
Closed in spaces?
The food from your local crappy mexican restaurant?

I am looking for true fright. I would love to run a game session where people were really nervous about going home alone afterwards. It just seems very challenging to me to transfer that kind of fright into a role-playing game.  Is there anything that could be put in a RPG game that can truly make you scared?

Cool.  Can't wait to see when the games you are running are.  I will see if I can make it to them.  Something about Sucrose Land just sounds awesome.

Haha. Every thread derails so much.

I am starting to figure that out.  That isn't so bad though.  Both of my Parents are catholic.  Raised in the beliefs.  Stopped attending church in my college years.  But as for the drinking, my family does a lot of that too.

keep in contact with me about either game.  I would be very interested.  My girlfriend and I really want to try playing Monsters and other childish things.  Let me know some details when you know.
