    Starting character level?

    I am a huge fan of starting off at 1st-level. The PCs have to struggle to earn everything they get. In my opinion and experience the guys grow more attached to the PCs and have more of a feeling of accomplishment.

    New Swords and Sorcery flick!!!

    While there is no single description of Medusa, there are similar themes in description. A 15 minute search resulted in these links. http://www.theoi.com/Pontios/Gorgones.html http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Medusa http://www.english.illinois.edu/maps/poets/a_f/bogan/medusamyth.htm I even...

    Opposed Rolls vs. Static Defense

    You are refering to the Law of Averages, which is not a Mathematical Principle. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Law_of_averages

    Opposed Rolls vs. Static Defense

    The Law of Large Numbers would disagree with this statement. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Law_of_large_numbers I do like the concept of "Players Roll All the Dice". We have used it and the players did like making more rolls.

    New Swords and Sorcery flick!!!

    The quotes below are from http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Clash_of_the_Titans_(2010_film). I liked the "chess-like" pieces. Even in the movie from the 60s had a Triton "chess-like" piece. How hard is it to reference Greek Mythology? Is this the first time this guy has even heard of Medusa? I...

    New Swords and Sorcery flick!!!

    I would prefer that they go more in line with the story from Greek Mythology. Although at the time of the release of Clash of the Titans in the 80s I was glad to see ANY kind of mythology story brought to film, it was not by any means a GREAT story. I absolutely loathed the mechanical...

    Q: Risen Dead Template

    I found that it is basically the zombie template from the SRD 3.5 with a few changes. Risen Dead do not get the Toughness feat. Risen Dead lose all DR.

    Q: Risen Dead Template

    Is there a template for the Risen Dead? If so, where can it be found?

    Q: Lycanthropes

    I have no problem with them being vulnerable to normal weapons. I just wanted to make sure that I didn't miss something.

    Q: Lycanthropes

    Can lycanthropes by harmed by ANY weapon in Conan? I know is standard D&D damage only comes from Silver or Magic weapons.

    Conan- Copper Pieces

    So going back to the original question. What does a Stygian copper equate to in other lands? If an item is listed 20 cp and you were to buy that same item in a different land (let's say Zamora) what would the cost in silver be?

    News about new Conan movie

    Jackson is listed as Producer/Writer so will still have a hand in the Hobbit. I saw Pan's Labrynth and Hell Boy (I). Didn't really care for Pan's Labrynth and Hell Boy was okay. I cannot comment on Helly Boy II as I have not seen the movie.

    News about new Conan movie

    I would rather not see Clint Eastwood directing Conan. For one if they are talking multi-picture (3 or 4 movies) he might not be around long enough to do them. I would rather see 1 director do all the movies a-la Peter Jackson LotR and the Hobbit.

    Trial of Blood

    Our FLGS is not as gamer friendly as one would like. First off - they shrink-wrap all of the books (including models) so you cannot browse through them. Second - they selection has dwindled down to only WotC products While they will do special orders, I do not like the fact that on the stuff...

    Weapons with Reach

    Fighting as a martial artist and fighting in heavy armor in formation are 2 different things entirely. Part of what made using the reach weapons so formidable was using them in formation. Groups of soldiers with reach weapons in the back combined with shorter weapons in the front line. Granted...
