    How to balance 3 man party?

    My vote for the ideal 3 man party is Fighter, Cleric, Rogue. I am old school and do not believe in alot of multi-classing. Heck half the classes mentioned in this thread I have never even heard of. :D

    Colossal Red Dragon Lair.

    That is very cool. I have kicked around the idea of doing a one shot dragon hunt adventure. If I every do I will have to steal this idea to help make the final battle climactic.

    Campaigns with 2-3 playes only

    The majority of my 20+ years of being a GM has been with 2 players. I usually add a NPC ally to assist them. My current group has 3 players so I do not have to worry so much about adding an NPC ally, which I am glad. Decado

    Conan 2nd Edition

    Conan is probably the setting/system I am going to run when I finish my D20 Modern campaign. Vincent's material has been top notch IMO and when it comes time to round out my Conan RPG book collection, Vincent's books are on the top of my list to buy. Decado

    Dragonlance trailer at Youtube at last!

    Animation was not as good as I had hoped but I will still watch it. I have been a big DL fan since I was a kid. I have not watched alot of anime but Record of Lodoss War is one of my favorites. I need to get it on dvd, now that I no longer have a vhs player.

    Is threat of death a necessary element of D&D?

    I think the possibility of a character being killed adds alot to the suspense of combat and realism of the game. I have killed several characters, never at random, and have never had a complaint from the players. My guys know that there is a possibility of death everytime they go into battle. It...

    My attempt at the dipping technique

    Kris, that did help thanks. I tried it on a Beastmen mini that had 95% finished. The end result was very good and I am working on some more. My base color scheme is pretty close to yours. Decado

    My attempt at the dipping technique

    This an awesome thread. I think I just found my inspiration to finish my GW Beastman army. Thanks!! I do have a question, when putting the base paint on the minis do you use a brighter color then normal base paint to offset the darkness of the stain? Decado

    Gargantuan Orcus out in March per Amazon

    I will buy it if the sculpt is good. My players have managed to have Orcus swear revenge against them for foiling one of his plots. I would love to have a giant Orcus mini around to keep them on thier toes! If the sculpt is no good I will stick with my Reaper Miniatures version of Orcus. Even in...

    Does Saga Edition make anyone else jones for Star Wars in general?

    I have not seen the new Saga edition or played Star Wars D20. i did run, for a few years, a D6 Star Wars campaign that I was one of my favorites. I did not have a problem with Canon, as my game was located in the Elrood Sector and the players were part of the small rebel alliance force there...

    D&D II Wrath of the Dragon God

    I watched the second movie with my gaming group. We all felt that it was a much better movie then the first. I liked all the 1e references it made. Decado

    June - What are you reading?

    I bought Dead Witch Walking last night by Kim Harrison. I am only into the first chapter so far. I just finished the first 10 Dresden Files books and was looking for something in a similar genre and it caught my eye. I am a little leery of the explicit sex warning for the books as I am hoping...

    Dresden Files, Supernatural, CoC, Blood and Relics campaign

    jonrog1, I just spent the last couple hours reading the first 11 pages of your story hour. It is an excellent read and for some such as myself who is trying to start a d20 Modern campaign very very inspirational. I am really looking forward to seeing what happens next! Poor Jo! :D Decado

    Did your parents get you into gaming?

    I voted no. My parents never discouraged me from playing and my mom kicked ass when she bought me all the 1e books for Christmas. :D My cousin who lived with us during the summer to help on our farm was the one who introduced me to gaming. Decado

    Why are hit points generated randomly?

    I have never liked rolling for Hit Points and cannot recall doing so in the last 20+ years of playing. What my group has always done is give max HP for each level. This system is also used for all monsters and NPCs just to be fair. Decado

    [May] What are you reading?

    I am currently reading Dead Beat by Jim Butcher. It is my last Dresden book until the SFBC prints the next two. I might have to tackle my collection of recent R.E. Howard books next. Decado

    Have you ever refused to come back from the dead?

    In my current campaign no players have refused to come back from the dead. I did however run and NPC that was the trusted bodyguard to the PC mage of the group. He was killed in battle against some giants and later brought back. I played his personality differently after he came back and the...
