Nicely done, but paragraphs would be nice. Go to Comment

Flies that want to die. A great explanation for those insects in rl that fly right into your mouth. Do they fly into webs on purpose as well? Go to Comment

What Scras and Ouro said. Thanks. Go to Comment

Little bug-eating critters, like frogs & such, aren't really going to be very aware of the dangers of consuming them. And the bugs are delicious. Go to Comment

Nah, spiders suck the juices out of their bodies which prevents the eggs from hatching. Go to Comment

This is a really fun idea, and I think it could be great life form with some revisiting. Go to Comment

I think that there are real life parasites which are not that far off, but these are different enough to be cool.

Now humans with compromised immune systems might not fare well either. Go to Comment

Very nice. Just dont be afraid to put it into paragraphs - looks nicer and makes it easier to read...

Good job!

Do we have somewhere an article on how to deal with absentee players? If so, linking the two together would boost the usefulness of both.

Oh, and you know this could be the ultimate Excuses Table for the PCs. ;) Go to Comment

Gol, I am not sure about this one. Is it what the player does or the character?

More of a systems post, unless it it intended to be funny then
it gets to be an article.

Changed the freetext to silly, so it hooks up properly. Go to Comment

Funny ha ha. Thank you for creating it. Go to Comment

A bit too contemporary for a "What is the character doing?" chart. Light and funny is perfectly fine in my view, but some of those simply didn't have a feel of anything but modern filler. Go to Comment

I like this, its funny and it doesn't have to be in game literal.

And if need be you could build a plot out of bird watching. Go to Comment

Not bad - though the funny ratio is a little light for me :) Go to Comment

Nicely done. It has the details of living - their culture and a flow of history. It explains their process and how they do things. (I would like a little more about the midian-centric elements (i.e. variety of trolls), but I can excuse some of that.) Go to Comment

What Moon and Muro said. Nicely done. Go to Comment

*imagines them sailing the seas of Acqua* Go to Comment

Cheka Man: They are nomadic enough. Why couldn't they sail away to the seas of Acqua? Use them with my blessings.

Valadar: The RTS feeling is intentional, and I'm glad that didn't get lost completely. They were originally created for use with the Combat Efficiency guidelines (mass combat rules), and intended to blur the boundaries between a nation, army, and ethnicity. You wouldn't believe how many hours I've agonised over linguistic issues with them--even whether to spell 'Gobbley' with one 'B' or two...

MoonHunter: Midianite Trolls are very varied (lots of random rolls) & generally come in large, medium, & small sizes. They are also separated into different ethnicities: Black, Cave, Ice, Rock, & Mountain Trolls, with the Host of Battle as an arguable sixth group. Go to Comment

Excellent! I get a palpable feel for them, and the details are terrific. I'm using these guys.

hi-lite: Though obviously from your world, this troll troupe is easily usable anywhere, anytime. Go to Comment

I read this, I thought it was interesting and I enjoyed the details.

 

 I would have enjoyed to see some more specific notes on their culture and how they relate to each other personally.  You learn a lot from society by who they consider to be a crimminal and celebratity and it is hard to get a feeling for a culture when everything is so even keel.   If you spend you write a story about life at sea no reader will except that it was all smooth sailing.
