Troll
I problem with a few of the (RPG) boards I visit, is that a persons title can be Troll. Entirely in keeping with the source material, however when I look at a post started by someone titled as a "Troll" it does make me wonder...
Edit:
It was this post that made me comment, and then I realised I was a Troll!

Re: Troll
Yeah, we should probably pick different tier titles. Okay all of you imaginative folks out there: let's hear your suggestions!
The current list follows; the number of posts is the minimum required to achieve that title:

Got no problem with any of them except Troll, really. Just change that to...hmm...Orc? Gnoll?, and we're good to go.Azhrei wrote:Yeah, we should probably pick different tier titles. Okay all of you imaginative folks out there: let's hear your suggestions!

Re: Troll
On the upside, Murgh, you're only 1 post away from being a Giant.
I think Orc or Goblin would fill in nicely... though an entirely new hierarchy with some more critters might be nice... though I'm too burnt out tonight to come up with much right now.
But the Giant class could certainly be spread out (Hill, Stone, Frost, Fire, Storm.)
Make Dragon like 1000....add some age groups in for them leading up to the Great Wyrm at 2500.
Demi-God at 5k.
Deity at 10k.

Re: Troll
I've always thought Kobold was appropriate
The only benefit of having Tier 2 be a Troll is that for most of us, it causes us to post like mad to reach Giant. I agree that it would be nice to change it. Orc, Goblin, Gnoll... any of these would be fine.

Re: Troll
Of the options currently present... Orc seems to be my favorite.
Going through the SRD real quick some other options are: Basilisk, Doppleganger, Drider, Dryad, Formian, Gargoyle, Ghoul, Golem, Lamia, Lizardfolk, Lycanthrope, Medusa, Minotaur, Ogre, Pseudodragon... okay I think that's enough.
Upon review of list... Ogre and Golem seem to be my favorites. Pseudodragon is a close runner-up and I'd like to see it on the last somewhere just for personal amusement. :)

What, do we have to stick to D&D monsters here?
*everyone gasps in shock*
Lets get something a little more universal...

Wait, books...
New Edition
Quickstart Rules
Intro Adventure
Regular Adventure

Core Rulebook
GM's Guide
Grognard Edition
Or even more generic... Dice!
Natural 1
Dice Cup
Dice Roller
Dice Tosser
Dice Chucker
Dice Hurler
Natural 20
Crit Machine
But what about types of dice?
1d4
1d6
1d8
1d10
1d12
1d20
1d30
1d100
(repeat as 2d, 3d, as often as desired)

Yeah, like maybe the weapon damage progression? Something like 1d4, 1d6, 2d4, 2d6, etc?Lets get something a little more universal...

(Yeah, I know that's D&D-specific. That's part of the irony of this post. )
Re: Troll
I dunno... there's just something that seems much more natural about a form of creature instead of an object of some form.

Re: Troll
Misto placti hora gumi trask!
Arise, my child! Arise!
(That was my raise dead spell, complete with cleric-y sounding words. )
So it was pointed out to me recently that "Deity" was being spelled "Diety". And since I can't sleep I decided to look at this again. I'm now considering the following -- what do you all think?
Pixel
Line
Triangle
Square
Pentagon
Hexagon
Octagon
Decahedron
Dodecahedron
Tetradecahedron, and
Icosahedron
The new range of posts required would be (my apologies to our non-American friends who prefer a period instead of a comma in these numbers!):
0
25
75
175
400
1,000
2,500
5,000
10,000
25,000
50,000
Even Trevor would only be a Dodecahedron.
Edit: Here's the current distribution of users. (Oh, and btw... I'm now tired enough to go to bed. )

Re: Troll
Me no likey!
On a side note, I really need to break into that 5000+ group. I am already part of a l337 group of 3 and need to become more special.

I save all my Campaign Files to DropBox. Not only can I access a campaign file from pretty much any OS that will run Maptool(Win,OSX, linux), but each file is versioned, so if something goes crazy wild, I can always roll back to a previous version of the same file.
