New Ruby seemed awfuly unsure of herself and almost came across to me as strangely dependant on Sam. Plus she had that line about how she didn't want to come between Sam and his brother. The whole diner scene between them played in a really weird way with Ruby as the weaker partner. It just...

Castiel is the Angel in charge of watching over Thursdays :) And I have to say that the actor they got to play the Angel was awesome and I hope they keep him for the duration of the season. Reasuring, creepy, and compelling, all at the same time. Ruby, not so much. Although I think that she...

So I will give you two CMOA. One based around combat and the other based around roleplaying. Combat One: I was running a 3.o modified version of the adventure 4 from Cormyr and it was down to the final battle. The group was on the run from an army led by several high level characters. They...

I'm looking for an divine rules set that I can use to create divine powered, but non-worshiped beings similar to the planeswalkers in M:TG setting. Immortal beings that wander the layers and worlds of the multiverse working on their own plans and hunting each other when they come across another...

I suppose ultimatly you are right. I just don't see it as setting bloat. I see it as background detail that adds needed flourishes to the game to give it a more realistic feel. I have players who've never so much as read a FR novel and they love the realms and don't experience any problems...

Which I don't mind. But that doesn't explain why they couldn't add it as a completely separate continent instead of actively replacing one that already existed. even if it was a minority, that doesn't mean it couldn't have proven valuable as it was. They wouldn't even have to talk about it...

Well my obessive tendencies are balanced out by my love of virtually everything so I rarely trigger off of something. A few books, all things Harry Potter, and a few other things. I think what makes me the most angry about the whole thing isn't the fact that they are adding to the FR, its the...

no, its not totally ridiculous. It's totally irrational. There is a difference. I Love the books Enders Game and The Wizard of Earthsea. I consider them some of the finest literature of their respective types. But the authors (in my eyes) came out with sequals that not only were far...

I am devastated by these revelations. I realize that sounds like strong language for a fake world but that is how I feel. The Forgotten realms novels were some of the first books I ever read and I've played and ran D&D in the realms almost exclusively since I graduated past the red box. I have...

The character in question is gestalt beguiler/Psion so he has lots of buffing/illusions/magic items that he can use while speeded up. The greater issue is that he is using anticipatory strike while temporally accelerated to take another turns worth of actions upon coming out of temporal...

I have a player with both Anticipatory strike (lets you act out of turn but lose your next turn) and temporal acceleration (Time Stop but shorter) and he uses them in combination to... Take his action, use AS--immediate action, take another action, use Temporal acceleration for two rounds of...

I am of two minds on this. I don't like the trimming down of wizards and the shuffling off of important wizard archtypes till who knows how long down the line. But on the other hand, as long as these specialist classess are essentially still wizards with a different focus and not some hybrid...

With the advent of 4e coming I find my interest in 3e dying out. I do believe that on the whole Fourth will be a better game although there are certainly aspects of it that I find a bit distasteful. Third ed while possessing many attributes I like, on the whole just seemed too video-gamey or...

I agree with you about one of the themes being feminine arrogance. It began with The female Aes Sedi staying sane while the men went mad, but I think over the years it bled over into the nonchanneling members of both genders with men being seen as less trustworty than women because the male...

I am torn about the magic system. I don't particularly like the current magic system as a DM because I like creepier games and magic is just too video-gamy for my tastes. On the other hand, I do like running wizards with their wacky resource management. I like having tricks and scrolls, and...

Ironic that Dune was the very first recomendation because I forgot to mention in the OP that I hate, hate, hate Dune :) I never got past the first book in the series. OTOH, I was about 12 when I read the first book so I suppose my tastes could have evolved in the 17 years. Maybe I should give...

I would like to find some books that are similar to the Star Wars novels and the Deathstalker series by Simon Green. Good fun Space Opera or Space Fantasy. In particular I am looking for books with some of the following qualities: 1. Advanced/Altered humans who have special powers/psyhic...

I appreciate the heads up that it is considered a meatgrinder. I like that it has not only monsters, but puzzles as well. And the fact that it is Dragon Centered is a bonus considering how Dragon heavy the previous adventure was. it will fit right in. The group is pretty powerful for their...

So The RHoD was an absolute bloodbath and the two surviving characters have retreated to Waterdeep, leaving Brindol to a rather horrible fate. So I need an adventure to introduce four new characters. I would like to run the Vault of the Dragon Kings DCC #30 but it is a tournament module. Is it...
