Woah.....been building stuff, and scouring my copious monster manuals for cannon fodder....good times!
Is the moon succubus a separate species, or is it just a succubus that happens to live on the moon? Inquiring minds need to know!
I don't know; JJ was talking about moon succubi for that Demon book he's writing.
|
Yeah, I saw that. That'll be a cool book, BTW - looking forward to that. We can't have too many moon demons, after all.
James liked Inception too, I saw. Good man.
Oh, and building monsters and NPCs is great fun. A good way to spend a quiet Sunday night. BTW, how goes the quest to find a viking drakkar for your son?
I think everybody who I've seen that saw it said it was good.
Not even a single post going "meh...I thought it was...okay..." for the ego pump through contrariness or anything.
Naah; I was just making fun of my own lack of understanding of physics on one of JJ's comments on facebook.
Shit, you really don't know what inertia is?
I thought you were just going off.
No way man.

We're succubi on the Moon,
We've invented low-G poon.
But there ain't no males,
So we tell tall tales,
And sing our sexy tune ...
heh heh....
hey; I'll be around today, then AFK til prolly Thursday night; gonna take a little trip.
Sounds good Heathy, Have fun!
BTW (A-hem)
I'm B-A-A-A-aaack! :D
(ANd the crowd goes wild!)
I went. I had fun. I returned. (After paying WAY too much for parking! Sheesh!)
NOW I'm fighting two armfulls of Poison Ivy that I apparently got in my backyard before I left! (No rest for the wicked,...) ;P
Will catch up ASAP.
Bummer....
not much to catch up on; everybody's been busy as hell and I'm going for a trip to be back Thursdayish.
right on; I guess do mine lastish, cos I'm gone til Thursday...
I got the Scarlet Brotherhood and Greyhawk: The Adventure Begins at HPB in the last week; so I can make stuff more Greyhawky.
I also have a map of Hepmonaland now, and background details, so I can be more authentical with Oso and whatnot.

Just came back from three days deep in Arizona's amazingly beautiful White Mountains, home of extra-huge pickup trucks and fat dudes with mullets. The plan was to spend the time hiking and camping in the Fort Apache Indian Reservation, but it was raining buckets most of the time we were there, so we spent the time inside instead, playing cards and reading. Besides the crummy weather, the only negative was that my copy of The drawing of the dark got caught in a sudden rainshower and now weighs five pounds...

Sux! Cool pix though.
I went to Galveston;
pix kids on the beach; there's a cool sailing barque called the Elissa I got to walk around on.
Heh. Vatters must have found the rain that got lost on its way here! :)
Seems the lil ol named storm wussed out, not a drop all day, we sman in the back yard and I BBQ'd a lil on the grill. Better day than boarding up windows anyway!
Sorry your book got wet Vatt! To me that's a crime! :)
GLad you all safe though. Beautiful country should almost make it all worth it though, right?

We stopped in this hellhole called Globe midway between Tucson and our base in Show Low (AZ really has the best placenames) to get a milkshake and a big old brawl broke out in the waiting line at McDonalds. I should have taken a picture of that.
Oh, and the Grand Canyon's unreal. Trees and vegetation camouflage it until you're right on top of it - and then, once you see it... I seriously can't describe it properly. I go back there as often as I can just to take another look.

I think the book'll be OK in a few days. But I was not happy when I found it...
It's monsoon season here now - Tucson's mostly just hot and clammy, but the mountains have been getting substantial rain for about three weeks. And you're right - it was so beautiful it was clearly worth a waterlogged book. I plan to go back next summer with a mountain bike and a better tent.
When I lived in El Paso we took a four-day trip across Arizona, kinda bounced all over, went to the Petrified Forest, Tucson, Tombstone, Nogales (US&Mexico sides). I remember thinking: 'Why doesn't West Texas look as pretty as this?' Arizona had all those cool suguaro cacti that you imagine when you think of the Wild West, and cool mountains with awesome rivers and El Paso has .... mesquite. and more mesquite ... and lots of concrete ... and brown sand. Really depressing landscape.
If I told you that I already HAD one sitting on my counter, would you promise not too laugh? Too loud?
How about if I told you it was a gift, from my mother?
;P
And yes, I actually use it! :)
Garden gnomes.
THAT is funny!
You win.
;P
(But you can still laugh at me and my Vader toaster. I do!) :)
He doesn't even have a jester. Total wet blanket that guy....
I'm tweaking on Oso's "planeshifting" request really hardcore.
Any requests for specific planes?
I think either Asgard or.....something very very similar.....that I'm tweaking on but I haven't decided if it's too corny or not, but Asgard is my first choice.
I actually made it fit so good in the tropics (aside for a couple of nattering details) that I'm sorta sad to not do that, but yeah; that's what I'm thinking.

Hell, maybe a trip to Limbo or somewhere bizarre where the possibilities can be altered and swapped around, so Oso can do his plane shifting......
I love playing a verstatile wizard, but I'm intrigued by the things I've read about the Summoner. Maybe there's some kind of Mystic Theurge multiclass variant available?
hmmm.....we'll have to see I reckon.....

Asgard is good. Some of those Aztec/Mayan afterlifes are pretty gnarly. I always wanted to do the Nine Hells, but they are a little bit differnet now in Pathfinder.
Oh and I'd love your take on an old-school Realm of Faerie
I'm...kinda thinking.....nearish to the latter in a lot of ways, but Asgard.....what I have in mind owes much to Asgard.
And Iron Maiden.
alas,.....Xibalba will have to wait until I have more bearings about what's supposed to go down there; I have an inkling.
I go with a "great wheel" somewhat, but having read copious Moorcock feel comfortable with making the planes an "everything and anything goes" type proposition.

Avernus always struck me as a fun place to go. Red Martian-like landscape, random fireballs exploding, Tiamat, the Maggot Pit, Kurtulmak's realm (Killing scads of already dead kobolds? Priceless!)
I'm getting a Tim Burton does Lady and the Tramp vibe here, with Danny Elfman doing the music.
And Johnny Depp as Altai.

While I'm more used to the Great Wheel, I like the new cosmology, especially the cracks at the edges that's crawling with demons. And the proteans are much cooler than the slaads were.
Sacrelige!!!!
Well they are pretty cool.
Actually, I see slaadi fitting more in some f!$*ed up magic polluted swamp on the prime.
I mean,....weird frog guys. Limbo. What's that?

I like the "first world" a lot.
Yeah, the Great Beyond is cool, but as we’re in Greyhawk I’d probably prefer to stick to something closer to the Great Wheel. Of course, there is no doubt A LOT more to the infinite outer planes of the Great Wheel than is detailed in the Manual of the Planes, the Palnescape stuff etc etc.
I always felt that was one of the weaknesses of the Great Wheel – most of the planes were supposed to be infinite, but then their maps and descriptions seemed to suggest they were finite and often quite small – or at least only had a relatively small area where anything interesting happened, and then infinite amounts of essentially blank space. Let’s fill in some of that blank space.

Agreed. It's not that slaads aren't cool monsters, it's just that they don't work (at least not for me) as a major type of outsiders. I read somewhere that the reason slaad are frogs is that they guys TSR sent the art orders to drew them that way and it was too late to change it once the art came back.
Havng said that, don't get me started on modrons...

some of those maps kinda suck too....
My "Planes of Chaos" Ysgard map looks like a bunch of Chocolate covered peanuts floating in some funky outer space.
