I'm drooling to use them! Awesome, Cap! fascinating background, great descriptions, evocative to the nth degree and nice touch on the salt weakness. I really like this! Go to Comment

Ooooh, finally a use for rocksalt shotgun shells! :)

Nicely done Captain! In all your gory glory! Go to Comment

As always, the Captain delivers a dose of horror that would enliven any game it is used in.

I suspect that the mere possession of salt is suspicious within the lands of The Hand That Sees, drawing the attention of informants and those eager to buy the favor of their revolting overlords. Those preparing for battle with the dreaded White Children may learn that the hybrid undead aren't the only terror within the land, only the most infamous. Go to Comment

This is a good one, deserves to be brough out of storage once again. Go to Comment

I... I gotta say this, mate... I think I just shat myself when reading this. I mean, tortured AND raped? Ugh, that's disturbing imagery, especially given what these damn things look like and how they act. It's like you're about to be executed, and the commander of the firing squad asks you for your number- in that it's totally f*@d up. You know what? I think I'll stick with my dystopian Imperiums and overly optimistic Star Trek universes rather than deal with these bastards, thank ye kindly.

Then again, it would be kind of funny to see Lenard Nimoy and William Shatner kick one's ass. :) Go to Comment

Yeah, those are pretty creepy, heh. Excellent description and setting. Hosok is also a great name, rolls off the tongue, like its moniker, the Hand That Sees.) This reads like an Edward Lee monstrosity. Go to Comment

Wonderful stuff. Great names, great flavor. Leaves you wondering how their shadow fell over these chilly streets.

But why would they rape you?

Anyway, 5/5. Go to Comment

A truely deadly weapon that must take a long time to make. Go to Comment

Shit. Great execution, CP. Hehe

Awesome and overpowered. Doesn't matter much though, but I detract 0.5 because I have problems with vorpal swords in general. They are awesome though, but also unbalancing.

I won't be a boor. You already know this and probably don't care. Neither do I, but the rating remains as it is.

The post is excellent though. Go to Comment

Nice spin on the vorpal blade. I very much like the last paragraph. Damascus and katana techniques on 'roids! Also, I wish to know more about the Beetle-Faced Shangarr.

Yay, Kwest! Go to Comment

Bumping Quest sub! read 'em before you vote, folks! Go to Comment

I like this, though would never use it except perhaps as a weapon of a God (and would stay that way.) Go to Comment

Nah, vorpal swords are only fun in Neverwinter nights...

But I do love this paragraph:

"What this means, essentially, is that the blade is made so thoroughly that a part of the essence of a sword, the primordial pre-standing cosmic idea of a sword, is imparted as an echo into the sword. Thus, the Fatal Sword is the closest that nearly any sword can come to being the ideal killing tool."

Masterful! Go to Comment

It's a 5-room dungeon. Very convenient module for working out an adventure, actually. Go to Comment

Well that's up to you. If you like, part of the rewards of the quest could be the hideous poison derived from the fungus, or perhaps it is useful in alchemical brews, or perhaps it grants intense healing powers (akin to R'gu's regeneration of its tentacles)... But who knows? Go to Comment

Whoooo-Boy! That was incredible. I only had one gripe, and that was the seeming ease of which the players were described to be captured. It honestly felt like a little bit of a railroad, but I'm sure none of my players would mind given the amazing story this tells. I fear to run it, not for my soul or sanity, bit I do not think I possess the skills to execute it properly and do it justice.

A Google search for Heedra reveals a few things:

"Heedra was an Imperial Moff who governed Baxel Sector, which was located in the Outer Rim Territories, during the height of the Galactic Civil War." - From Wookieepedia, a Star Wars Wiki.

Heedra = Hindi for "neither male nor female"

And... There are 1 people with the name Heedra Perezchica in Texas.

Oh yeah, let's not forget Captain Penguins obvious inspiration -

Heedra

Powerful, biologically-engineered warriors (possibly with mechanical additions) from before the Seven Days of Fire. While not capable of destruction on as vast a scale as the God Warriors, they are far more numerous and easier to maintain. Heedra are extremely strong and difficult to kill; they can only be killed by destroying their "core", apparently located in the head just behind the uppermost of their three eyes, or blasting a Heedra into pieces. The cloned bodies of the Dorok Holy Emperor and the Master of the Garden are also referred to as Heedra, suggesting the name may in fact be a catch-all term for genetically engineered humanoids.

Wut? Go to Comment

Yes, I have. Well... the opening credits. Something about skateboards and Mayan temples. I know they featured a clip from it in the Malcolm in the Middle opening credits.

I could be mistaken. I am pulling this knowledge from an ancient part of my memory that involves a VHS tape stolen from the Mystery Train. Skateboard and Mayan temples, that's all I need to know. Go to Comment
