Cool!

     I don't usually play in Khoras like normal, instead I prefer the freedom of being almost the PC and DM all at once. I can do this in my head, by seeing a hook that gets my attention and then kind of narrate the way my party handles the situation, basing the way I take the "story" on the hooks information, and my characters personalities.

     Post Scriptum: My character's name is Tanis Mondar, as in Tanthalas from Dragonlance, and Gerard uth Mondar, one of the cool good guys in the War of Souls trilogy of Dragonlance. I've only read the first trilogy and last one, but I am looking to buy the second trliogy when I have more time, because my high school has crazy hard classes.

I would like it if however you do it, you subdivide by continent, because sometimes I forget that something lives on, say, Aggradar, and "encounter" it on Ithria or something like that.

As I have nothing to do, I wanted to propose a question. If the Sundering turned Drellikar into Drellis and Karrym, and if Drellis is continually sucking off the outer gas layer of Karrym, then is it not logical that one day Drellis will suck Karrym to nothing and be the only star Khoras has? Also, if this happens would it not be almost assuredly catastrophic? And if the Sundering so badly wounded the suns, would it not be expected that the speed of Drellis's absorption of Karrym be exponential and be potentially nearing a "zero hour" when it begins to build uncontrollably, causing a almost definite end time for Khoras?

Anyways, I thought that that might get someone thinking, and maybe even be the inspiration for a final campaign to save the world, possibly being a herculean effort to say reunite the suns.

Bye. ;)

General Discussion and Questions / The A.R.M.A.

Hey, I just wanted to say I am enjoying this site more and more now that I have joined the forum, because it is obvious that not only is there a lot of thinking done here, there is a lot of reminiscing and Mr. Roomes already sounds like a really cool guy. DMR reigns. :o

Anyways, I started thinking, and I decided to tell you about a site I know of, which is not only cool, it is very informative. It is the ARMA or Association of Renaissance Martial Artists, a site devoted to preserving the historical and stylistic aspects of medieval European swords. I hope you will check it out, especially concerning sword nomenclature, which I find interesting. By the by, I know tons of interesting stuff about just about everything, and most things I can even explain, so if you have any questions and are having difficulty with a search, you can come to me. I know a lot of totally random and fairly obscure tidbits, especially concerning matters of antiquity.

It's kind of funny, but I love Khoras, which I found about two and a half years ago, and I diidn't even know what D&D was beyond some kind of fantasy game, (in fact, I thought maybe it was a really popular old video game). I was looking for interesting things about metal: the hardest is chromium, the densest is Osmium, et cetera, and ran across the description for Megalindir, because in Khoras Adamantium is the hardest metal, he he. A couple months later, I searched the same topic to find out what I had been looking at, and got hooked on the site. A year later, I decided to find out more about D&D, which was becoming unbearably interesting, as it was its 30th birthday, and realized that a game my nephew had sent many years ago, the original Baldur's Gate was a D&D game and got hooked on that too.

Now I watch some friends of mine who play dnd, (got tired of ampersands), but I still don't play the games. Instead I use my imagination to play a never-ending session in Khoras with the same six-player party format from Baldur's Gate.

Post Scriptum: Don't really know why I'm posting this, but I think it's because I've decided that it's fun to post on forums, and this is the only one I've ever posted on.

Sorry, I'm not good at searching for sites, but I'll keep looking.

Post Scriptum: Cyanides and ricin don't work because one keeps oxygen from going from blood to tissue, while the other impairs protein synthesis.

General Discussion and Questions / Poisons in Khoras
April 09, 2006, 05:16:42 PM
I was looking at the poisons section of the site, and I got to wondering about something. There is a sesquipedalian term that refers to toxins called Mithridatization. This is when you administer small doses of poison to gain an eventual immunity. If possible, could there be a new section on poisons referring to which poisons can be used this way. Some poisons chemically will not do this, but some potent poisons can be such as potent venoms, et cetera.
