oh dear... that'd be just too much - I couldn't have an open casket funeral then.

Rabbits don't drive my car and I don't eat their food.
or. eh. I'll send the rabbits a copy of the key. right away. anybody got the address of the rabbit residence?
Sex can be great, but only eating is blissful

...but can't remember that now (Alzheimer's tricky that way)
The next one below me is pure and innocent, and sails through life with a smile on his/her face.

Yupp. I turn to stone, every single time.
The person below me has got a body of a 25-year old, hidden somewhere (sorry, Mr. Pratchett)

Colours! Beautiful Rainbows, with sprinkles on them!
The person below me is afraid of the dark lonely hours.

The one below me is elevated above me.

Well... it hasn't failed me yet.
So, this is the original idea behind the game, and I'm pwetty suwe I can make it happen in the world of P&P.
We play every other week a campaign where every party member is a paladin (and of different faiths *sigh*). They set kip in Arabel The Fair, Claiming abandoned/partially ruined barracks as their base. And, as paladins do, they ride out, return, and ride out again. So, the Forest Kingdom is being saved, whether the inhabitants want it or not. Every stone is turned until no evil exists, right?
WRONG! They have been out of Arabel most of the time, and the rats are gathering, right under their noses. We got Zhents, Red Wizards, Twisted Rune agents, Knights of the Shield, Dragon cultists and nearly every little boys' club represented there.
There are curfews, refugees, plagues and all that. No effective administration (Ms. Lhal has gone mad, or so the rumors say), meddling Harpers (just another form of plague) and greedy priests everywhere. Mercenaries police the streets. AND it's snowing. Firewood doesn't come cheap in an overcrowded, plague-ridden city.
I have gathered two groups of willing villains (2 very different groups, one knows about the other, the second doesn't). They will harass each other, and in the end confront the paladins (and perhaps get sent packin'). A group plays Shadow Thieves, and the other plays the Network agents.
This will be mostly urban, mostly sabotage, extortion and murder with a dash of arson stringed together. Small scale missions. Multiple rerolled... make that point-bought characters.
You, my fellow DMs, are allowed to control this, as a local wererat community. acting as puppetmasters behind the scenes.
I'm looking for crazy, Pure EvilTM tricks to play. I'm going to make the PCs do the most vile stuff (none of which I condone, I just DM that). They want to play evil I give them EVIL.

I love stuff that has a vague deadline. This lets the players do pretty much what and in which order they want to. They have never failed me. Of course, the deadlines can be purely something they pick up by themselves, from a scrawled note or a feeling they get when they look to the east or whatever.
I'd love to do something nonlinear, but as I'm lazy as hell (non-linear stuff needs too much notes, too much off-the cuff junk (with accompanying notes etc.) I can't possibly make it work out. Oh wait... Yes I can, except I make a total mess of my notes and it'll end up worse than without notes.
Tell me, good folks, how do you do it?

All glory to the Admin gods!
Is it just me (now that wouldn't be a surprise), but it looks like Forgotten Warriors/On the road to Wealdath forest -thread is short a page in the index. That is, the thread listing shows one page too few (there are 6 pages at the moment, the index of FW shows only 5).
It's just a bit annoying, and might be just me in need of learning the numbers, but could you, O Mighty Ones, check that out?

This si truly one of my now favorite movies, also the soundtrack ios a must have, specially that dame whistling song. Have to see the movie before listening the OSD. Makes more sense afterwards. Loved both. Good weird in it, and it's the only movie last year I had to see twice. |

Favorite Pratchett? It's always the last one I've read (now: Feet of Clay).
Steve Buscemi should be Nobby Nobbs in "Discworld the Movie"
Christopher Walken's a good call for Vetinari
Bette Midler as Nanny Ogg. scratch that. Definately Joan Cusack (hmmh. she looks more like a magrat)
Tim Roth as Rincewind the Wizard
Gov. Scwartzenegger as Sgt. Detritus
Meat Loaf as Foul Ole Ron
James Earl Jones as The voice of DEATH.
Isabella Rossellini as Mrs. Palm
Harry Enfield as Sgt. Colon or CMOT Dibbler
This just in:
Natasha Henstridge as Angua.
We still need a tall, pretty boy for Carrot . Add a couple witches and we're done.

Bill's gonna buy the world. no doubt about it.
That's just me ranting. had some major Windows issues last night (was up until 7 am with em). I love 'clean installs'. nothing works as it's supposed to. Computers are such 'bullet-in-the-head' kind of fun sometimes.
