Re: Bring on Hall of Judgment!
IIRC, the Bodice Ripper was a 6hd creature in early editions of D&D.

And why don’t Pegasi not get renamed to winged horses or Minotaurs into bull headed men? I think it is because the original mythology was a lot cooler than the generic naming. The same is true of deities in my opinion. |

Well, in the world of Dragon Heresy/Hall of Judgment you will find hofsvarpnir and nautmathr. So there's that.

Did you by any chance look up what "Alger" means in Icelandic? Last edited by Þorkell; 04-02-2018 at 06:48 PM. |

Re: Bring on Hall of Judgment!
Yes. My shame is manifest on my face for missing all four lone pairs.

Re: Bring on Hall of Judgment!
Really I want the Dungeon Fantasy game to succeed. I feel that GURPS people are a little tone deaf when it comes to knowing what is cool so I try to offer my two cents. Just think of the name of the games GURPS which is not very sexy especially when compared to Dungeons and Dragons which just sounds nice in comparison. Hall of Tyr just sounds interesting and evokes a Norse aspect. Hall of Judgement sounds much less cool and you really don’t know what it is about by hearing the title. Odin, Thor and Loki are well known names of gods and they evoke the Viking genre. Comic books freely use Thor and Loki and people know them just like they know what an elf or a troll is. But it is not up to me to decide so I will just sit back and watch.
