I have, in my current campaign, a player with a compulsive liar character. The character also has a very low(negative bonus) wisdom score. He "believes" he's a polymorphed red dragon, but forgot how to return to form. The character prays to Tiamat sometimes, and sometimes I do stuff with it(flam spurt from the ground 1d4)sometimes not. Once he told other PC's that an empty room he'd explored had invisible potions in it... Needless to say, I put invisible potions there when the others went to look.

There's other stuff... but it's too late to write more...
later


Howdy,
I live over in Urbana, and already am running one game (about the right size already), and playing in another(WAY maxxed out), but I would be open to playing with some other group, if anyone's interested. My turnaround time's pretty big on my game(writing to fill next session), so I have lotsa time between games...


Vincent Price reading, oh let's just say all the stories in Smoke and Mirrors by Neil Gaiman.
Price did Poe material so well, and his voice was just great for the darker tones in Gaiman's work. Really well chosen with words, that is.


I've been reading a fair amount of crime fiction/pulp mysteries.
Max Allan Collins' War of the Worlds Murder is what I just finished. Hard Case Crime is putting out a lot of good pulpy stuff now, if you want to check them out... I believe Stephen King's book for them is out in September.


Soloman Kane rocks the Casbah! Also, his character El Borak was great. I'm also a bigger fan of Kull than Conan, though.
If you like SK's adventures, you might want to check out Edgar Rice Burroughs Martian Tales.


Neil Gaiman's "Two Plays for Voices" is astounding, as are his Warning: Contains Language, and the Neil Gaiman Audio Collection.
The latter 2 are read by the author, which is a treat, though not audio drama.

Also excellent on the web was scifi.com's seeing ear theater. you can still find it by searching the archives.
