I posted this on rec.games.frp.dnd but I think there is more active (and intelligent) discussion here on enworld, so I'll post here too. Our little Friday night group has been trying to develop a D&D campaign without some of the traditional D&D flavour or genre. We started making some rules...

I have a character that began very much like this. He's an abjurer/loremaster. The protection magic of the abjurer is nice and the loremaster fitted the character concept nicely too. He also has a swag of divination spells too. Yes, you might want Bardic knowledge then you can't always get...

Different strokes for different folks I suppose... My weekend game: The DM arrives with a car boot full of stuff including a crate of books, his own table, a laptop, a backback full of campaign material, several cardboard battlemaps and a box of cardboard miniatures. Most of the others in the...

Ahhh, so Gnolls are sort of the Gnomes of the NPC races :)

Agreed. Our group has been using Yahoo groups for over a year now and it works very nicely. Ok, ok, not as slick as a dedicated campaign site, but it handles all the important stuff pretty well... ie, email communications, file hosting, scheduling game sessions etc. We could make even better...

Our group has had some joy using Character Artist, a plug-in for Campaign Cartographer... or more specifically, I've learnt how to make characters pretty quickly and the rest of the group have enjoyed the benefits :) Having got over the basic learning curve, I can churn out a character based on...

I spent many years playing with a guy (one of my best friends actually) who always played a slightly derranged barbarian/fighter type. Didn't matter the game system, campaign or character class he chose. In D&D he tended to favour rogues because he liked the *idea* of being sneaky. More often...

Care to give us a few snippets? Approximate dates? Anything? Pleeeease?

One double-decafe capuccino please... with a twist of lemon :)

Very interesting and informative, particularly the modes. Was quite surprised about the spellcasting issue... personally I've always thought the spellcasting was a bit out of place, but acknowledged that most others probably liked it. Guess my views are reasonably consistent. I wonder if...

Don't own the d20 Modern rules but have been looking over the SRD. Have been thinking of using the 6 base classes from d20 modern and then re-tooling the 3E PHB classes to be PrCs or "Advanced Classes" to use the d20 Modern parliance. ie, you could take a few levels of Strong Hero before going...

Our group picked up one of the recommended rule guidelines from a Middle Earth d20 conversion. Basically, spellcasters can't take two consecutive levels in the same spellcasting class. So, for example, I can take a level of wizard followed by a level of sorcerer and then another level of...

Not if the cohort is lamely designed. Or designed purely to help his/her master. Besides, even if the cohort is quite powerful, I don't really want any Mary Janes busting up my adventure. EDIT: Mary Jane? Or is it Mary Sue? Whatever.

So our party, which is pretty damn big already, has got a couple of cohort NPCs hanging around these days. The DM has ruled that the NPCs warrant a share of the loot and xp. I don't think his ruling is particularly unfair, but I do get a little bit riled that they are sucking up my gold and...

That's coz most of us don't have anything interesting or intelligent to say :)
