Walt Simonson's run on Thor would be a great place to harvest ideas for epic level D&D.

For example, when I want to hand out a magic weapon as a quest reward, I'm going to keep in mind this sequence: http://

I first became aware of the existence of Mouse Guard from some threads on RPG.net, when the RPG was released. I gave them a cursory glance, but didn't spend a lot of time on them. I'd later find the RPG at my local Borders (in the sci fi/fantasy section, an aisle away from the RPG shelf). Having been slightly primed for it by seeing the threads, I ( Read more... )
