    Vampires used to have level drain too.

    Don't tell the players, but in my Burning Wheel Ravenloft game, if you get vampire-bit you can end up having skill and stat levels permanently drained.

    As a level-draining undead monstrosity (albeit with a lemony icon), I approve this message.

    Five wights in tonight's dungeon. Totally optional encounter. But will the PC's open those coffins for the sweet loot that must be inside? Those bone golems must have been guarding something awesome right?

    Just don't make the same mistake with them I did. I had a necromancer PC back in the heady days of 2E and inspired by Doctor Strange, I decided I wanted a faithful manservant for my sorcerer. But because I was also competitive I wanted two manservants. 

    Creating the wights wasn't a problem. Controlling them was. Very shortly thereafter, my necromancer was drained by his undead major domos, left powerless and then eaten by carrion crawlers.

    Which just goes to show you: Two wights don't make a wong.

    Did you notice that XP makes the same face you make when you hear a bad pun?

    Sorry, there's no such thing as a bad pun.

Originally shared by Curt Thompson This is an interesting theory, but I notice the author has to omit one of the most important Heinlein novels to make it work. Time Enough For Love was written in the very early 70s and was a straight (heh) extrapolation of the chaotic and frenetic zeitgeist of that era. http://www.locusmag.com/Perspectives/2012/11/the-joke-is-on-us-the-two-careers-of-robert-a-heinlein/

Hit Me with your Horror

Originally shared by Andrew “Incomitatum” Chason Hit Me with your Horror I am looking for some horror flicks. The newer the better. Good is good too. I liked House of 1000 Corpses and Devil's Rejects . I liked both the new Texas Chainsaw movies. Hills Have Eyes 1 was good (never saw the second . Jeepers Creepers 1 & 2 come to mind as well. A little camp, and/or "back woods" can't hurt. Any of you have any recommendations? Lets try and not go too far back than mid 90's. Aside: How was the new "Freddy" movie? Suggested So Far • Bones (2001) • Drag Me to Hell (2009) • The Grudge (2004) • Don't Be Afraid of the Dark (2010) • Dog Soldiers (2002) • The Decent (2005) • Creature (2011) • The Last Winter (2006)
