Every time someone claims to have "discovered" the definitive theory of alignment, all posters with a modicum of sense ought be cautious. So I won't present this as a definitive theory of law and chaos, but, rather, merely the start of a discussion. Conventional theories on law and chaos have...

Another move nearer the mainstream for roleplaying, this time the British newspaper The Sunday Times (most popular Sunday broadsheet newspaper) has an article on LARPS. http://www.timesonline.co.uk/article/0,,2099-855842,00.html Is DnD, and even LARPS, moving closer to the mainstream, or is...

Without starting a flame war, which of the changes do you agree with. If you want to post substantive material, here http://enworld.cyberstreet.com/showthread.php?s=&threadid=52722&perpage=40&pagenumber=4 is probably a better place. This thread is just testing opinions.

It occurred to me that Sense Motive can sniff out liars, but if someone is telling the truth, unless you play critical failure rules, everyone is going to believe them. Furthermore, if someone is lying and someone is telling the truth, the truthteller will always win out. So here's an...

From the DMG: 'Overcoming the challenge of a trap involves encountering the trap, either by disarming it, avoiding it, or simply surviving the damage it deals.' Now this strikes me as plain stupid. The CRs for traps are pretty easy compared with the damage they deal, and really, just surviving...

DMs, I summon thee! Right, now you're here, I'd like to pose you an interesting question. In your worlds (DMs who use published settings please leave :D), do you prefer Fantasy, Authenticity or Simplicity? By which I mean, how fantastical is your fantasy? Which of the following three...

...is a homebrew one. Well, following my thread on General Discussion about specialty priests and the lack thereof in 3e, I decided to make one for myself. I didn't think I knew enough about the 'official' pantheons to devise some for them, and I'm not sure how they would compare with the 2e...

So where did they? A couple of weeks ago, I downloaded a passage on Wee Jas (she is in my opinion one of the most interesting deities to worship- better than the standard fluffy bunny type good deities or the mwahaha evil deities). Below the good solid details on dogma, history, personality...

Friends! Allow me to make an announcement of pure self-advertisement. The new web comic, Code, has been launched today amidst much jubilation (at least amongst two people). I am writing the scripts (and might I say that the plotline is exceptional :rolleyes: ) and a friend of mine is doing...

Well, I've seen a few threads concerning what the most powerful/original/exciting/fun prestige classes in the whole game are, but I don't think that this has been done. Ideally, it could have been a poll, but there are too many. Perhaps if a few keep coming up here, we can run a poll based on...

In short, is it worthwhile buying the game Gothic? I've read lots of reviews that say it's quite good, very intensive on RP (as opposed to hacknslash) but that the interface is clunky. It generally gets around 8/10. But, good sirs, in your opinions, is it worth purchasing? Bear in mind my...

All it takes is one Murlynd's Spoon! Here's how it works: Firstly, you are a high(ish)-level wizard. Instead of buying a +X Headband of Intellect, manufacture a small supply of Murlynd's Spoon. Hire helpers in various cities (better, take Leadership and use followers) and set up 'cheap food'...

I've lurked and posted quite a bit, but this is the first original feat I've made so be gentle... Secure Skill [General] Prereqs: Skill Focus in the appropriate skill, 8 or more ranks in the appropriate skill. Benefit: If the character rolls a score of 9 or less when making a skill check, he...

So do you?
