    Big Monsters sundering magical weapons

    Hey, So I'm running Savage Tide and a question came up in game: whether monsters could sunder magical weapons with natural attacks (IE, bite). In this case, the weapon was a +1 composite longbow. The DMG says on the first line of page 222 something to the effect that magical weapons of...

    D&D 5E which campaign next?

    Hey, I've been asked by my old gaming group to run another campaign for them. Since I live in Los Angeles and they live in San Diego, I'll be driving down there and we'll be playing a marathon 12hr session once every 6 weeks or so. I'll either be running 3.5 (their preference) or pathfinder...

    great NYT Op-Ed piece on Gygax

    In case this hasn't been posted, people here shouldn't miss the Op-Ed piece 'Geek Love' in the New York Times today. It starts out: "GARY GYGAX died last week and the universe did not collapse. This surprises me a little bit, because he built it." It's written by Adam Rogers, a Wired...

    Love the Game, Hate the Marketing

    Since I started the 'Former 4E Doubter now has High Hopes' thread, I thought I'd balance things out a bit. I am really looking forward to playing 4E. But my thoughts are in spite of, not due to , WoTC marketing efforts and marketing-related decisions. Everything about the 4E launch has been...

    My first Buenos Aires D&D game

    I recently moved to Buenos Aires, Argentina. Since I didn't know anyone there, I thought a great way to make friends would be to find some D&D players and run a game. I was pointed to the website www.derol.com.ar , which is an argentinean RPG website. It actually caters to a bunch of RPGs...

    D&D 4E Former 4E doubter , I have high hopes now

    Like a lot of people here, I tend to bitch when WoTC does something I hate. So , I think it's time for me to say something. I was originally a 4E doubter. I looked at the weaker 3E books, and extrapolated, and assumed the worst. I read everything posted with a critical eye. I complained on...

    Yeenoghu writeup

    Forgive me for typos; I am in the airport in Lima with a 10 hour layover and a spanish keyboard. And no apostrophe key that I can find! So, being bored, I have just read the Yeenoghu writeup at the WoTC site. It appears that there is already a huge thread about him being CR20. I would have...

    races of destiny --has D&D 3.5 jumped the shark?

    OK, reading about races of destiny has got me thinking that WoTC has just run out of creative energy. First of all, these illumians (or whatever) just sound ridiculous. A race like humans, but with glowing runes revolving around their head? who needs that? And I just read Andy Collins writup...
