I love community efforts. I think the submission as a whole works pretty well. No single entry strays to far from the intended path and all are charming and useful. So all in all: Mission success! Go to Comment

My wife is legendary for all her halfling roles in roleplaying games. She has declared that Aunt Hepperfuss' Secret Recipe is the best Halfling prize. ;) Go to Comment

What are ye waiting for? Start the Orcish Gifts In-Work! (For Services Rendered of course) Go to Comment

hahaha, good stuff, slart! Go to Comment

Really great stuff thanks, your list gives us as much ethnic culture as it does material culture Go to Comment

Holy crap folks - well done! We need more of these!

A fun list, and with a little effort can apply to space faring sci-fi games as well given alien cultures may well value a good recepie or memorable song more then a cargo hold full of credits.

A great list. Well done.

I never seem to use halflings in my games, but perhaps it can be adapted.

Should be easy to do: Item #1; tobacco (stolen from halflings), Item #2 halfling mail (again stolen from halflings), Item #3 wilted, smooshed flower (was magical before it got trampled in the raid on the halflings)... Go to Comment

Very nice list; well written, save for some minor typos. Excellent work, gents! Go to Comment

Each entry is more charming than the one before! Much better than "epics loots ftw!". I simply must find a way to use some of these in the future -- especially #12.

Very useful. I don't have halflings in my world, but many of the gifts can be translated over to my world anyway. Thanks. 4.5/5 Go to Comment

A great for halflings that can be easily adapted to other races/cultures. You sir get a HoH. Go to Comment

Slart--right on brother! :) not my idea for this, but a dang good one!

My idea stemmed from a conversation with an 'old world' grandparent recently. The person threw out the following old saying/cliche: "The child should always be stronger, faster, smarter, "better", than the parent."

I wanted to take that idea literally and expand upon it. A family where each successive child IS actually smarter than the parent. The thought disturbed me enough that I thought it would make a cool sub.

Now then, this isnt supposed to be under advice requested, it is supposed to be a regular hidden in-work, but i screwed up.

Alas, looking again at what you came up with from the one tag-line, I may combine your idea with mine :) Good stuff and thanks again for the thought! Go to Comment

Gonna need to put a wee bit more to comment on Muro :P

Hmmmm... maybe a family that greatly values their "pure" lineage, descended from an extremely intelligent noble known for having a ferocious temper. So much that descendants are forbidden from marrying "outsiders"; hence, the results of hundreds of years of inbreeding is becoming more evident with each generation. Surprisingly, the women show no adverse signs; in fact they are all quite beautiful. The men, on the other hand, grow more and more deeply depraved; the original trait for a "hot temper" has grown through each generation of men. The current generation possesses a wolflike cunning coupled with a seething desire for violence; hence they all are constantly using the vast family wealth to hatch all sorts of vile mayhem upon their enemies as well as each other.

Is this too long to be a stub? Too boring to be a sub? Both? :-) Go to Comment

Lovely submission. Now you both need to make each of these a full submission. Go on now. I will wait. Go to Comment

Splendidly done! Almost all these various staff-like implements are excellent items can that make an exciting adventure for a PC who finds himself confronted with any one of them. From the slaver's goad that can inflict searing agony on adventurer attempting to cut down a slaver, to the Clovern-hoof staff that the Minotaurs will pay a handsome staff to retrieve, these are all objects that I would love to encounter in a game.

Or you know, you could pick one, make a full sub out of it, and maybe sweep the votes for the best Expand-a-30 quest submission. Go to Comment
