Reminds me of... I've got a nice cool Kelt in my fridge. It should not go unpilfered, I say!

you know, this is the same tune you played to Regdar. I know, they fit well together, but the similarities are too great (most of all the 'a wizard doing most of the spellcasting for her') - I'd say she might be a competent wizard, prone to flaunting her power and humbling male wizards ('you call THAT demon summoning?! I will show you the real stuff...' - this could lead to a great plot is a few seconds later, she said 'oh, ... crap') Go to Comment
Redgar the Valiant

EchoMirage's comment on 2004-09-13 03:23 AM
Laugh-out-loudly! I certainly enjoyed this one, moreso given the fact that you used the default DnD warrior's name :D

I certainly will try to use this one to put a dent into the pride of my PCs one day.
Thus 5/5 Go to Comment

Now, what if the comet was a recurring event - returning since its first appearance regularly, and the malevolent effects - not only people being mad, but also magical fallout and the like - it brings becoming more severe with every return? Go to Comment
Lenses of Llorn
Items  (Other)   (Magical)
EchoMirage's comment on 2004-09-13 03:19 AM
Hey, most magic items will be made by wizards, as there is little risk of Joe the Farmboy suddenly enchanting his plow. Thus, the 'wizard made it' is the default setting, and unless you want the very creation of the item to be special, assume 'a wizard made it'.

But the spin on the classic story is great! We should make more such things, like screwing up Snow White or The Little Mermaid... Go to Comment
Azriel Marquis

EchoMirage's comment on 2004-09-11 04:00 PM
Another drow? Momma told me to stay away from drow, and for a good reason I guess.
I know elves forget a lot, but the drow WILL know his past, WILL have some motives besides 'me evil' and WILL be rated badly if he's but a paper cutout... Go to Comment

EchoMirage's comment on 2004-09-13 03:08 AM
You know, GURPS has gone a long way to display a different Dark Elf - they are elves, mentally and physically the same, just for one aspect: the Dark Elves believe the Elves to be the only sentient race, and all the other races are just vermin to them, vermin that infest mother Earth. There is a need to vipe out the vermin so that Nature may prosper.
The Dark Elves simply believe in a non-peaceful solution of humans chopping down sacred groves and dwarves despoiling nature with their industry... Go to Comment

Watched it. Liked it. Actually, his missing past WAS the plot. Go to Comment
Halleran

EchoMirage's comment on 2004-09-10 03:57 AM
You know, it could actually be a good campaign idea to make all characters orphans of some terrible cataclysm, thus nobody would be older than say 20 years, as all the adults had been killed some time ago...
The descendants could wander amongst the ruins of culture, and fend for themselves... Go to Comment

Leger de Main-Gauche
Items  (Melee Weapons)   (Combat)
EchoMirage's comment on 2004-09-10 03:54 AM
Wicked!
There is no warning of invisibility, as the blade is there for all to see...
A nice idea... I cannot decide whether to rate 5 or 4, and thus (as I will use it :D)give a 5 Go to Comment
Leger de Main-Gauche
Items  (Melee Weapons)   (Combat)
EchoMirage's comment on 2004-09-10 07:54 AM
As I understood it, it only masks the movements of the one arm, so that the body stance and sound might give it away.

As for seeing magic - check the GURPS advantages of Second Sight and Awareness, as well as spells Mage Sight and Mage Sense.
A very perceptive individual might see flaws in the illusion and discern it as such. Everything manmade is flawed, after all. Go to Comment
Snads of Time
Items  (Other)   (Sentient)
EchoMirage's comment on 2004-09-10 03:50 AM
"GURPS - creatures of the night" had a similar idea, but the gear heaps were animated through soaking in the blood of innocents (yum!) and had a clock counting the time until the death of a being nearby...

the Snads are much more savoury and usable though. And a funny name to boot :D 5/5. Go to Comment
Korrney
NPCs  (Scenario Based)   (Mystical)
EchoMirage's comment on 2004-09-10 03:45 AM
I forgot to mention:
The bell works only once for each person without much risk and work - using it more than once would be coupled with quite some risk - and Korrney was to lazy/cowardly to work on using it another time. As he is written, I doubt he would risk losing what he has for an uncertain gain... Go to Comment

I did the capital error of giving him the link to this page... a fact I still regret, and long shall. Mea culpa. Go to Comment
Korrney
NPCs  (Scenario Based)   (Mystical)
EchoMirage's comment on 2005-01-24 03:51 PM
Now, Korrney is greedy - while he will not use the clock again anytime soon, he will preserve it in case he trust himslef enough to give it another go, and raze a more populous city.
So, he's afraid to use it, but well aware of its potential, and unwilling to let it go. Go to Comment
Korrney
NPCs  (Scenario Based)   (Mystical)
EchoMirage's comment on 2005-02-07 04:15 AM
To translate: Krishna's mage was changed into a kitty after being offensive (quite a bit) by an NPC closely resembling Korrney.

I guess he'd like to point out that Korrney was not able to find a bigger city to unleash the power of the clock in, plus he had a personal grudge against that one.
The last sentence's meaning eludes me too. Go to Comment

EchoMirage's comment on 2004-09-08 09:37 AM
?I wonder who rated *this* with 5/5.?
I just cannot omit commenting on this one... the revenge thing is sooooo old. Where did he get those *bracers-of-no-arrows-sticking-out-of-my-arse* ?? Why has he got a piranha head? Who the hell are Eshal?

Another ruthless ass-ass-in post, another boring character. Go to Comment

Fire Fire

       By: Cheka Man

The PCs accidently start a fire and are caught by the local law enforcement. Since it was accidental, the punishment for the PCs is to fight the fire. Providing they can put it out before it burns down the town, they will not face any further punishment.
