When we play we often boil magic item values down to strict GP amounts. These amounts were divided, you could either take cash or the item. If you took the cash and wanted to buy something, we had some availability charts for how long it took to buy an item, if it was available, etc...

I don't like Drizzt because frankly - he's another albino dark mysterious elf, rebelling against his kind .... oh and he's nigh-unstoppable - too stereotypical - I was too old when the books came out and a sword named "twinkle" or "twinkie" just wasn't at all funny. I found it a bit inane...

Gracias.

Can someone post a link to Fields of Blood?

Must relate amusing story. Think back. Its the mid to late 80s. I'm in high school. Me and my friends were playing in a long-running Mechwarrior/Battletech game amongst a few others. This was a bit different, as three of us handed off every month or so but (oddly) things remained somewhat...

My uncle who had played it in the military told me about it when I was about 8. A few weeks later I picked up some Ral Partha orcs at some store (Sears maybe even) and tried to paint them. They didn't have the books, so I was basically out of luck for a year or so. Eventually, I got the basic...

I have little to no problem allowing this as a DM, as long as I pay attention and keep things fair. This just recently occurred to me as a player, however, and I was glad to have the opportunity to switch. I had built a 6th level character to join a game with the understanding from the DM that...

1. Aquinas (100%) 2. Aristotle (94%) 3. Spinoza (82%) 4. Stoics (74%) 5. Epicureans (73%) 6. Augustine (66%) 7. Rand (61%) 8. Mill (59%) 9. Sartre (59%) 10. Plato (58%) 11. Bentham (54%) 12. Kant (51%) 13. Nietzsche (47%) 14. Hume (40%) 15...

I work at a company where TLAs are loved and cherished. A TLA, if you must know, is a "three letter acronym"

Well... (1) If it is sold, I think whoever speculated that the FR and DL stuff may have some rights kept by WoTC is probably right. (2) The submission idea takes on a whole new direction - it really is no longer D&D related AT ALL - instead its novel/board/TCG and MAYBE d20 related (3) Whomever...

Silly story I put "close friends since school / college" and that is essentially true...however. The core started out as about 6 people in early highschool (mid 80s - right after I moved to North Carolina). Two of us went to the same school. Two more I brought into the fold from my sunday...

Dipped in chocolate...mmmm crunchy monsters. My same point on another board on a side topic applies here.... if you don't like it, don't buy it Frankly, IMO this is fictional info, right? (Unless the folks at WoTC have some sort of real-world diabolical insight and demons affect the real...

Sounds like Painfully got to bid with someone else and wasn't pigeon-holed into the "replacement character with fighter attributes when he wanted to play a sorcerer". That, I think, would be the thing folks complain about. For that reason, I really like the default array. I know its cheesy...

In a game where you can pick and choose starting equipment for a mid level character, mithril everything rocks. You can cram small strength characters with good armor and not sacrifice much mobility, armor check penalties, etc. Mithril is a fine thing indeed...

Anyone ever read the later Moorcock / Elric novel with the giant land ship? Before anyone gags, this was not a flying land ship. Instead, it was a huge monstrosity, a rolling construct similar to a barge and holding a fairly large sized city on its back. When two of these things collide, it...
