Blame!
The exclamation mark is in the title.
Simple fact is, that since the inclusion of the feminine neuter in D&D there has been an explosive growth in female players. This isn't a fact. It's something you made up.
Planescape: Torment is the best game I ever played, mostly because of the superb dialogue and fascinating stories. It brought the Planescape setting to life and filled it with intricate plots, strange characters (Morte, Fall-from-Grace, Ravel) and amazing locations (The Brothel of Slaking Intellectual Lusts, Drowned Nations). The writing was better than the vast majority of fantasy novels and it propelled a story that was exquisite in its morbidity. It also had plenty of cool monsters, weird magic items and the great Infinity Engine combat system. I haven't seen anything to better it since. It not only made you explore the setting but also your inner self and the motivations of all conscious beings. It was fantasy philosophy made flesh and it did all that so well. "What can change the nature of a man?"
Talislanta was and is the best exotic fantasy rpg ever made, hands-down. I whiled away many high school days playing that game...
... a nice adaption of the gazebo classic Haha! That's a great reference. ED: (Thoroughly frustrated) It's too late. You've woken up the tureen, and it catches you and eats you. ERIC: (Reaching for his dice) Maybe I'll roll up a pyroclastic thaumaturgist so I can avenge my Paladin. ED: A what? I like the big words in Dungeon. Just consider yourselves lucky it's not like The Worm Ouroboros or The Book of the New Sun!
Yes, our party chunkified Ilthane in 2 rounds, but the weird and nasty critters inside the cairn made up for it. I'd recommend that Ilthane attack the party while they are in town. That way the burning buildings, terrified civilians and (possibly) rampaging lizardmen armies make for a better distraction. Outside the cairn by herself she's toast. |
