I'd really suggest having unfinished 30 (Whatever) in the Forum and posting them here when they hit the mark. That will also serve as a sorting process: those that don't hit the '30' are apparently not interesting enough to go on front page anyways.

A good writeup of the Pathfinder critter - in the original material, the description was lacking. Plus, yay for tentacles. Always good to creep out someone.

In a lesbian relationship, who makes the sandwich?
No one, they both eat out.
Ha!

It's actually quite charming. Go to Comment

Ah, la vote.

I know why he never looked it up!
Being raised nice and proper, he had strict parental controls set up on his computer - so strict that even 'vulva' did not pass :D
(to keep all the smut from the internet and hackers out, of course)

Or - he looked it up and considered it a prank by some evil jock agency that plays pranks on nerds. Go to Comment

Duuuuuuude.

These flies are annoyingly awesome!

Well, this is just a Wand of Wonder, no?

If I were to suggest anything - rolling on a table and applying results is... boring.
*roll* haha, George is green!
*roll* haha, Fred grew a tail.
*roll* haha, I died. I better make a new char.

Well, does it make for a good story?
No. Because stories should be about heroes making choices.

If you want to improve it:
a) make it thematic - all the results are in the same general direction (mutation, mental quirks, elemental effects).
b) give it an use in the story beside applying mindlessly a random effect (the cult of Fnord wishes to taint the water supply!)
c) make it seemingly random, but get some genius to actually draw up some very complicated puzzle that allows you to predict the next effect.
d) make it about choice - say, a character may choose to accept or refuse the bottle's boon, but if he refuses, he may never drink from it again and forgoes any of those awesome boosts.

The arch-chancellor of the Wyrmfang magic academy is a tentative ally of the King, but always gets into a quarrel with him over the topic of magocracy vs. feudalism (don't seat them together).

Also, considering his temper, if you seat him next to any guest who happens to be both talkative and a fool, said guest will spend the rest of his life on a lily pad, munching flies.

A socialite, sole heir to a fortune and provocatively independent, the young lady is a famous single and her suitors many. The reason why she's unmarried is that she's solely interested in ladyfolk.

She will be very pleased to be seated with ladies young, impressionable and charming - but if any of those ladies are married, their husbands will voice their displeasure at the many strange ideas the wife brought from your party.

Echo approves. Elves. On the moon. Floating on a carnivorous lotus. Hell yeah.

I find the idea of a wizard getaway where they can't be disturbed quite nice. Alas, I wonder how order is kept? Is it an invitation-only secret society?

This is actually pretty good :) I can imagine using it.

What I would improve is to replace the events when nothing happens. We want stuff to be interesting, to have stuff happen.

Ah, I get it, it could be interpreted as: "Duke Calmarden used the weakening of the Tanelon dynasty during the Thirty Years war to become independent, and keep his duchy out of conflict, to emerge vital where lands around were laid to ruin."

Also the random times between events sound good. Here, have an exp :) Go to Comment

Also, PCs being usually dynamic, having a safe haven is not broken in itself. "I never leave my castle!" "OK, nothing happens."

Echo likes, Echo approves. The Scrasamax has been deployed, and exceeded expectations! Nay-sayer forces have been eliminated, the EchoMirage only took a minor hit in pride and saw a great increase in motivation.

All in all a 5 :)

Sole objection: why do you US guys have to place the bad guys in Russia these days? It's kind of lame.
