My party loves riddles. Of any sort. I'm kinda burned out, can you give me some good riddles and their answers?

11-08-06, 02:24 PM I always liked this one, I got it from an old school video game.

I have lakes but no water, forests but no trees, and towns but no houses. What am I?

I'm the part of the bird that's not in the sky
I swim in the ocean and yet remain dry

What am I?

11-08-06, 04:20 PM I like the Exeter Riddles (http://www2.kenyon.edu/AngloSaxonRiddles/texts.htm). About a 1000 years old and many are very, very hard.

Some have multiple acceptable answers so that your players can reason it out and have a decent chance of coming up with something that fits the text of the riddle, rather than having to guess at the one and only one acceptable answer...which can bring the game to a halt if they can't get it.

11-08-06, 05:05 PM My favorite off the top of my head is...

I am invisible, silent, odorless, tasteless, and when you put me into a barrel, the barrel weighs less. What am I?

It's shadow.

WizO_Shadow can swim in the ocean without getting wet? Damn...

11-09-06, 02:20 AM From The Hobbit:

Voiceless it cries,
Wingless flutters,
Toothless bites,
Mouthless mutters.

The wind.

A box without key nor lid,
Yet golden treasure inside is hid!

An egg.

11-09-06, 02:27 AM I have a mouth that does not talk,
I always run but never walk.

What am I?

A hole?
pita
11-09-06, 02:40 AM Definitely pie.
To every single riddle.
Pie never gets wet and can swim.
Pie is invisible, silent, odorless.... BUT NOT TASTELESS! THESE PEOPLE ARE INSANE!
However, Kurenai, other than pie, are you a river or a waterfall?

11-09-06, 02:54 AM What howls but has no mouth?

The Wind
KurenaiYami

River is correct. Never heard of a waterfall having a mouth, but if it's actually called that, then sure, that works too.

Eww.

11-09-06, 08:37 AM Trying to remember this one so here's a rough version of it.

I saw this strange beast once.
A fish that rests in the sands.
With a mouth on its top.
Yet food and goods it stores inside,
it does not devour.

-----------------------------------

A head with many tongues.
Always eating never satisfied.
Things each tongue tastes turn to waste.
Finger it licks soon turns red.

------------------------------------

I have no beginning or end.
Yet, I am made endlessly.
A journey of love ends with me.
When I fall and strike the ground
I say my name.

------------------------------------

11-09-06, 09:41 AM A head with many tongues.
Always eating never satisfied.
Things each tongue tastes turn to waste.
Finger it licks soon turns red.

------------------------------------

I have no beginning or end.
Yet, I am made endlessly.
A journey of love ends with me.
When I fall and strike the ground
I say my name.

------------------------------------
The first one leaves me clueless, but I guess the second must be fire, and the third a ring.

I thought I had an other riddle-thread in my subscriptions, but I must have deleted it a while a go. Bààààd Pippa.
