Sounds a bit like this kind of player would make Bitter Stevil of the Black Hand Gaming Society very proud.

Voted "DM only". Tonse fears losing control. Must not happen! Tonse not good trusting others... ;)

True, but his fun shouldn't come at the expense of the other players. For me RPGs are a team-effort. You can't just persue fun while expecting everybody else to bail you out at every corner. To use the "team-angle" further: I can't think of too many football players nodding happily when the left...

As a matter of fact Driddle is maybe just a little peeved that some of his recent threads didn't quite yield the responses he was looking for. So in my opinion he just makes up an imaginary player and an imaginary character just in search for a little love... :\ The most recent post in...

By all means make it core. Since the Athas days I havn't DMed a single campaign without psionics. Without trying to provoke someone I would even say if there isn't enough room in the PHB cut some of the spells. So make all three "magic-genres" playable right out of the box and release...

Well, I really like the cave generator. Not just handy for dragons, but for bandits, smugglers, evil cults etc., too. Thank you very much. The link is already bookmarked. :)

I once had a player who was convinced that Faerun and Athas were the same place in different times. Just because a city and a god shared the shame name. He was quite obsessive about it; going to great length in copying the map of the tyr region on an overlay to search his Forgotten Realms maps...

Taladas, I think.

Exactly my thoughts. I really, really wanted to like the idea, but something just got a hold on me, telling me that as a human I simply can't stand the idea of being a mutated halfling. :D

I'm certainly not a fan of Tolkien, but a casual reader of Moorcock. In the end: Who cares what he thinks? I like his books, but letting him teach me that he is far more mature or liberal or whatever simply strikes the wrong chord inside of me. Not to mention ripping a dead man's work. At least...

Wow,someone seems to have a little chip on his shoulder. ;)

Inspired by a thread over at the Wizard-Boards I have thought about how the known history of Athas changed between the boxed set and the conclusion of the Prism Pentad. What would you do with the history of athas, given only the boxed sets and no expansions or novels? What would be the central...

There was an article in the dragon quite some time ago detailing a githyanki invasion on the prime material plane. It was built like a long story arc and a good read. Don't know thw exact issue, though. By the way, Manual of the Planes is a nice book. Especially the alternate cosmologies should...

For me life as a paladin never has been about being a nice guy, but about making tough decissions and living with the consequences. Your party faced a huge dilemma and you were the one to come up with a practical solution. You did the dirty work, they did the whining. So unless the rest of your...

As long as the paladin didn't promise the orc anything, I have absolutely no problem with this. Just because the orc was unarmed, doesn't mean he is not dangerous. Maybe not for the party, but as he said, he is raising 14 members of the next generations of slaughtering, pillaging, evilworshiping...
