In response to: How do you adjudicate between medieval and modern ethics in your games? I handle this problem in my own games by allowing generous interpretations of alignment and ethics. I am actually studying for a graduate degree in philosophy right now, with a sub-focus on moral...

Hi everyone! I am currently recruiting players for A Keg of Styx Wash, a Planescape campaign using second edition AD&D. We are currently working on character creation now. Come check us out: akegofstyxwash : A Keg of Styx Wash

I am really optimistic about the new setting. I think this is an opportunity for Wizards to build upon some of the creativity we saw from TSR during second edition (Dark Sun and Planescape are two fantastic examples) and to distance themselves somewhat from the MMORPG market. I will certainly...

Looks like we just filled up!

My experiences have been similar to those of Baron Opal. I should say that I'm speaking primarily from experience with 2e AD&D, and assuming most of the same stuff applies. Multiclass characters tend to shine at later levels (although they do struggle with low hit points initially). I think...

I actually just wrapped up a low magic stone age campaign set in my own campaign setting. I actually focused it around a village of humans in the arctic taiga. Since it was third edition, I allowed a barbarian, bard (using the savage bard variant), fighter, ranger, rogue, sorcerer, and spirit...

I agree that beginning players were probably dead meat in some of those earlier modules. It was just too easy to blunder into a trap or a monster without realizing the danger. I have a feeling that most of these novice players were spared by their DMs (or misread the rules). While I've...

Hi everyone, I'm looking to recruit friendly players who are interested in some classic roleplaying. Let me give a little background information on myself and my group. I've been running online and tabletop games for about ten years now. I started out using second edition but quickly switched...

Skull & Bones...an absolutely excellent game

Best of luck with the adventure path, I'm sure it will turn out very well! DM_Fiery_Fist

It may very well be a name from literature, I'm not sure myself. I came up with it off the top of my head, so it's probably just be a coincidence. I googled the name and came up with a missing "Lord Lucan" who's apparently at the crux of an old murder mystery, but other than that I haven't...

Lucan Male Human Wilder Chaotic Neutral Concept: Lucan is a troubled youth who is eager to leave the memories of Diamond Lake. He is a disturbed individual; he often struggles to overcome his emotions of intense hatred and fury. He despises the Church of St. Cuthbert above all else. It...

Is there still time for me to join in? I'm afraid that I just now stumbled upon this thread, so my character concept is very bare-bones, but I will endeavor to give quite a bit more detail if there's still an opening. I'm interested in playing a wilder from the Expanded Psionics Handbook. I'm...

I certainly would allow a wizard to make a ring like that. In my experience, it's not exactly game-breaking for a wizard to have something in both hands, and by making the focus into a ring, he would give spell components a bit more prominence in the game. I think it would be a clever idea and...

I'd recommend looking at Tournaments, Fairs, and Taverns--it's an excellent sourcebook that I've used for a lot of the games in my own...er, game.
