Re: "I shoot the escape pod!!!" In a D&D game I was in recently, something similar occurred. I was playing a Cleric. For those who don't know, Clerics, being holy men, have certain power against the undead. I had boosted this by taking the Domain of Sun - which meant that if the undead creature wasn't too powerful, I could call on the power of the Sun once per day to destroy the undead I faced rather than merely forcing them to flee. Our GM was using a premade adventure, where our job was to retrieve a nasty evil sword that a Vampire had stolen from the Royal Armoury. Because we were a little underpowered for the adventure as written, the GM decided he'd ALSO stolen a holy weapon - the idea being we could grab this away from him and use it against him in the climactic battle. The problem was, until that happened this Holy weapon was a drain on the Vampire's abilities. Our group caught up with the Vampire's carriagejust before nightfall. There was a running battle, which we were barely winning, and the Vampire chose to make his getaway - he summoned up a swarm of thousands of bats, assumed Bat form himself, and flew away - one of thousands, and we didn't have any area affect spells. So, annoyed, I summon up the powers of the Sovereign Host (my character's gods), draw upon the power of the Sun, and max my turning roll. If it wasn't for the Holy item, I couldn't have affected him, he was too powerful. But with it - POOF. A moment later the Evil Sword is falling to the earth yelling "BASTARDS!" in a cloud of Vamp dust. Our GM played it straight. End of adventure, in chapter two of a seven chapter module.

Re: Help me flesh out a kernal of a setting idea I'd had some concepts of something similar a while back. The idea was that humanity had "uplifted" various species - the main ones I was looking at were Felinoids, Canoids, Ant-Descended (free willed, not hive-mind, but still a caste society, since that was their primary evolutionary advantage), Equinoid (with six limbs - four legs, two arms mounted on the outside of the forward pelvic girdle), Kangaroid, and Cetacianoid (with modified forward flippers capable of functioning as hands). These races, plus a few minor ones that never really made it, were each "planted" on a world terraformed to match their preferences. Each was also given a Library - a building full of knowledge on every conceivable topic, but each category and level of knowledge had to be "unlocked" by solving a problem related to that category, or of that level of complexity. Thus, rather than simply giving information to societies unready for them, each society got a "leg up" when they met certain stages of development. The Library worked up to the development of FTL drives - there was no more information after that to give. Earth's sun is known of, but is missing, and no ship going to those coordinates has ever returned (Sol isn't actually gone; we've built a Dyson Sphere). I also worked out a plot, of a non-human descended race appearing. This species is too alien to communicate with, and the various races have to try to bury the hatchet, work together and cooperate to survive the onslaught.

Re: What Are You Listening To Right Now? Conquistador your stallion stands In need of company And like some angels haloed brow You reek of purity I see your armour-plated breast Has long since lost its sheen And in your death mask face There are no signs which can be seen And though I hoped for something to find I could see no maze to unwind Conquistador a vulture sits Upon your silver shield And in your rusty scabbard now The sand has taken seed And though your jewel-encrusted blade Has not been plundered still The sea has washed across your face And taken of its fill And though I hoped for something to find I could see no maze to unwind Conquistador there is no time I must pay my respect And though I came to jeer at you I leave now with regret And as the gloom begins to fall I see there is no, only all And though you came with sword held high You did not conquer, only die
