- When dwarves build a magic weapon they construct it such that it will function perfectly after a millennium being used as an otyugh's toothbrush.
- Elves, on the other hand, make uber-powerful magic swords that start to malfunction wildly if you forget to rotate the tires annually.
- Fire can't kill a lycanthrope, but it sure can hurt it.
- Most lycanthropes only change into monster form when the big moon is full (as opposed to the two little martian-style jobbies). Most.
- Trolls live under bridges because they're the ones who build them. They usually get a franchise from a local ruler to charge fixed tolls in exchange for rights to build and operate them in choice locations.
- Dwarves don't brew beer in barrels, they grow barrels full of beer on vines. Like in a pumpkin patch but for drunkards. Charles came up with this one and I totally ran with it.
- The Lawful temple of Tyr will hand out free healing to folks who are fighting monsters threatening the city. The Chaotic temple of the Spider God still charges full price.
- Halflings like to hold family reunions in human cities. The primary activity of the reunion is a multi-day, sometimes weeks-long, pub crawl.
Terminal City is fun, wish you were here...

How I use the Random Encounter table...
Roll.
No, can't use this, this looks more interesting than the rest of the
adventure.
Roll.
Meh, that's k...
So, you're saying Dwarven magic items are a Honda, and Elven magic items are a BMW?
ReplyDeleteFun stuff. Especially the dwarven 'beer barrel melons'!
ReplyDeleteMostly, from what I have seen, enough fire kills most things. If it did not kill a lycanthrope, you probably were not using enough.
I am totally stealing this for my campaign. The pumpkin patch comment at the very least.

ReplyDeleteI can so totally use this. Thanks!
Top-notch stuff, though I am left wondering how exactly does one "rotate the tires" of Narsil.
