I doodled up a bunch of these magical symbol type things awhile back and I'm going to use these ten in my next RPG adventure entitled Suffering of the Moth Queen. Maybe you can plop them into your campaign. These symbols are going to be branded into the skin of the ten scattered body parts of the Moth Queen in the adventure.

1D20 RPG Herbs & Poisons
I
intentionally went for very hard to pronounce “tongue-twister”
names for each of these herbs or poisons, but they also have a nick-name that
the common folk use.
For a bit of ornery GM fun you could make the players try to pronounce the herb that they are using to gain their beneficial effects... There is no correct way to pronounce them though.

NPC Images for Green Ronin's A Song of Ice and Fire RPG
I'm running a play by post game of Green Ronin's A Song of Ice and Fire RPG for the first time. I did get a chance to play under an awesome GM (who used to be on YouTube called ZigCopasetic) and he taught me that NPC images like this are a very handy player reference in political games. It seems to help keeping all of the political machinations straight in your head if you have some faces to put to all of the backstabbing schemes. I put the characters on there too, to remind everyone what position the characters have in the House of Banefort.

Avalon Hill's Titan: Additional Creatures
I do not get a chance to play many board games, but there is a special place in my dark heart for Avalon Hill's beautifully illustrated masterpiece Titan. It is an esoteric game of merciless fantasy brutality. I imagine the players getting sprayed in the face with blood like they were Ash in the Evil Dead flicks as they play. I've seen multiplayer games where two of the 6 players were destroyed in just the 2nd turn. This game doesn't care if you go crying over in the corner after a humiliating defeat. It also has a nice balance of luck vs. strategy so it is possible to have a lucky player stand toe-to-toe with your friend that could be nick-named General Tactics. I tended to be the lucky player. My brain does not grok strategy for the most part, unless taught by YEARS of failures and public massacres at the gaming table. lol.
Anyway, here are some higher-level creatures that my little Titan group made up over the years. The numbers and abilities probably still need adjusted, but here they are. Apologies for the bad photography.
https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B5q-SrbFhJetRnRFWWVFR0k5VG8/view?usp=sharing
Tower: At 300 Points you can get a Knight (7 - 5)
Brush: With 3 Gorgans you can get a Manticore (11 Flying / Range Strike 2)
Jungle: With 2 Serpents you can get a Froghemoth (12 Ranged Strike 3)
Plains: With 3 Rangers you can get a Bearhawk (8 Flying 3)
Woods: With 2 Unicorns you can get an Ent (8 Range Strike / Special Range Strike Through Trees 4)
Desert: With 2 Hyrdras you can get a Sphinx (9 Flying / Range Strike 4)
Marsh: With 3 Rangers you can get a Giant Spider (6 Range Strike 4)
Hills: With 2 Unicorns you can get a Nightmare (8 Flying 4)
Swamp: With 2 Hydras you can get a Black Dragon (12 Flying / Range Strike 3)
Mountain: With 2 Colossus you can get a Leviathan (15 Range Strike 3)
Tundra: With 2 Colossus you can get a Dracolich (9 Range Strike 5)
There are only 4 of the extra creatures for the Brush, Plains, and Marsh and more of the bigger ones.
That's it for today folks. I'm sure I'll be back to RPG Thing in the next post. Have a good one out there. May your Titan be the last one standing the next time you next wade into the bloodbath that is Avalon Hill's Titan.

Re: Hoards of Swords (1D20 Weird Swords)
Sam Mameli posted this image over on Google+ and I went a bit nuts and described most of the swords in the comments beneath it. https://plus.google.com/111650678242611500802
I don't know why I can't be this creative with my own motivation. I seem to work best when someone tells me to do something and then I get to work in answering it in my own strange way. I guess I just need creative direction.
Anyway, without further ado, here is the list that others and myself came up with. I edited them all a bit to my own liking.
1. Heartstrings. The blade is a normal blade (not even that finely crafted) but the handle of the sword is made from wrapped dragon heartstrings. Those that wield the blade can cast one random spell per day, and they can more easily resist the spell-like effects of dragons, lizardfolk, and any other scaly foe.
2. Hangman's Toothpick. This sword mysteriously clattered on the ground beneath an unarmed man that was hanged for unspecified "crimes against the crown." The blade is cold to the touch. If this sword is attacking a creature they will hear whispers all around them, distracting them and making them easier to hit.
3. The Grieving Butcher. This sword feels more like a meat cleaver when wielded. It grants a large attack bonus vs. stationary targets. The sword is said to have been created by a widowed meat merchant.
4. Eye Bane. On a critical roll the target of the blade will be permanently blinded unless they make a saving throw.
5. Sacrificial Blade of the Water Priestesses. Those killed by this blade have their bodies turned quickly into pools of churning water that evaporate after 1D6 minutes.
6. The Wayward Gem. This blade is said to have belonged to the Heathrowe family. The gem of the sword falls off during a battle and teleports itself to random locations. The wielder of the blade can then also teleport to the gem's location along with anyone else that is touching them.
7. The Paddle Sword. This roughly worked sword changes into a paddle when it touches water (or at the wrong time when it is raining, or someone spits on it).
8. Sword of the Shattered Bone. On a successful hit one random bone will break cleanly inside the victim (if they fail a saving throw).
9. Death of Stars. This sword is rumored to have fallen out of the hand of a dying "Star Childe." Before it died it wrote the strange sigils on the blade with its elongated finger and blew on it with its final breath. Any creature slain by this sword is temporarily possessed (for 1D6 rounds) by the sword's original owner and it spouts off wisdom in a strange unknown tongue (something like a Comprehend Languages spell will be needed to decipher it).
10. Heavy-hearted. This blade has an enchantment on it that makes it weigh the same as a large warhorse unless the wielder is from the _________ race/species (something in your setting of choice). Most people cannot pick it up or move it.
11. The Serpent's Kiss. When a critical is rolled on an attack a living irate snake is implanted in the target's intestines.
12. Axeblade. This is a normal sword, though it can act more like an axe for chopping down trees. The handle also unscrews to reveal a secret compartment in the handle.
13. Pyramid Key. Once per day this sword summons a stone pyramid shelter. The sword is the key to open and to lock it.
14. Lost Sword of Halves. This sword has never killed a single soul and it never will though it does wound. It reduces the Hit Points of the victim in half with every successful hit (round up to the nearest whole number).
15. Sword of Self-Decapitation. Upon her death bed, a woman pulled this strange brand from beneath the covers. With a command word the sword decapitated her violently by itself. The sword is of fine craftsmanship, but it holds no other abilities.
16. Bloodspitter. This sword has a mechanical lever that when pushed forward sucks blood from a body. This lever can also be reversed to spray blood out of a small hole at the top of the sword. Other liquids can be held in the sword, but it will begin to shake violently after any other liquids are contained it after 1D6 hours.
17. The Smoldering Ruin. Small flames can be lit on the cross-guard and they will stay lit for 1D6 hours. These flames stay lit even when the sword is being used violently in combat. If a 1 is ever rolled during an attack the wielder of the blade must roll a saving throw or one of their appendages will burst into flames and turn instantly into ashes. The blade hates magic-users and grants the wielder a bonus when attacking them.
18. Carnival Bone. This strange sword heals undead creatures when it stabs them and does not deal any damage whatsoever to living creatures (it turns ethereal and passes right through them). It is said that the sword was used in a traveling carnival.
19. Time Blades. Reclusive, pacifistic elves live for generations isolated from the violence of their former lands. When raiders find and start targeting these elves, swords were made having only dusty scrolls and hearth-fire stories to go on. The result were 10 matching blades that seemed to slice through time itself. Whenever the wielder uses the sword in a purely defensive maneuver, adjust the player's initiative score in a positive way. Also, on a natural 20 the wielder of the sword can choose to return to a point right before the fight to avoid all bloodshed.
20. Thornblade. These wooden weapons are sentient swords grown by a sect of reclusive druids in remote part of the world. When wielded by a ranger or druid (or other nature-based character), the blade deals damage as a metal longsword. On a critical hit the target of the sword will sprout 1D6 trees upon their death that will grow quickly out from their flesh. For other non-nature affiliated characters, the blade deals damage as a shortsword and wounds the wielder on a fumble or natural 1. The thornblade will lose its shape and lose its abilities if not bathed water regularly.

Revised Lamentations of the Flame Princess Magic-User Spell Names
Does anyone else think that the standard D&D spell names kind of
suck for weird horror fantasy games like Lamentations of the Flame
