    'Origin' of Your User Name

    I flew in a world war two flight sim called Air Attack years ago and required a suitable name. After a few false starts, I turned to the name of one of my favourite beasts and a heraldric protector of the realms. A Griffin but someone had that name so I took Gryphon instead. I soon became...

    how many times do you roll "1"'s?

    Statistically you have the same chance each time of rolling a 1. The chance is 1 in 20. There is no difference between the first 1 roll and the 100th in a row, the chance of rolling a one is the same every time. In Game world every 20 has to be ballanced so get ready for the 1. The God of Dice...

    an alt.ranger [in progress]

    Sorry buddy I am a bit slow Really like your terrain/quarry/favoured enemy idea. Seems a good variation on the theme. I hav enoted a lot of people are going for multiplpe special abilities and then allowing a choice between them as levels progress where character classes are concerned. I...

    Alternative Ranger

    OK Critique it is I like some of the ideas actually. I think it is reasonably ballanced and it seems to be well thought out. But I don't think it is better than any of the other ranger clones that have been produced. Thats the problem, because it isn't that much different from all the...

    what do you consider a "good" AC?

    Two Variations I have a Ranger in a low magic world and it annoyes the hell out of me that i have an AC of 19, +3 AC bonus and +6 Dex. I can't enter combat with a hope of not being tonked all over the place. Flat Footed Base AC 13 I have to sneak about in front of the party and attack from...

    Alternative Ranger

    Oh another one Since the start the Ranger has been tinkered with and fiddled with by everyone, because it doesn't work that well. Go to Monte Cooks Webby and DLL his version http://www.montecook.com/arch_stuff3.html It is so much better than the one in the PHB and lots better than this...

    Dragon 301

    Broadsword Just to pick up the issue of Broadswords vs Rapiers. I have been reading all sorts of stuff on swords and fencing techniques because I really like the idea of Swashbucklers, fencing schools and the like. I haven't read this particular Dragon, and nor will I because I prefer to do...

    Trashing an Adventure

    A tale of an DM a Low Magic Campaign and an experienced group of players We were 3 months into our campaign all set up for the middle part, 7-15th level. The first half had been a difficult to roleplay in setting, mainly due to the fact that the known world was just coming out of a magic...

    What do you think of the ninja

    Ha Ha Very funny, my point was that they are supposed to be a real thing, and I dont think they fit for real or for in the game. The important point is I can't see how they would work in a world, there isn't enough work. As for you wanting a Dragon, hmm well I have seen a few and to be honest...

    What do you think of the ninja

    Never Seen the Point I have enver seen the point of Ninjas in any setting. It is an interesting conciet that says they are mystical assassins. I say that because there is no real evidence of Ninja in Medieval Japan, not as the sort of organised Monk lite killers that we describe them in modern...

    "The Big Big Book of Feats" by Anubis

    Hmm I did a nice big book of Feats myself, got somewhat slated for it on here actually. Which mighty peeved me actually. It also got the attention of WOTC, and I found I didn't understand the OGL properly. BIG WOOPS there, seriously big WOOPS. Quite like what you have here, they duplicate or...

    What proficiency should this weapon be?

    My take on the issue This lot are taken from my manual of weapons, I never much careds for the view WOTC took on the issue of hammers. (Actually weapons in general) The warhammer is to my mind simply wrong, it does not fit with history and it certainly does not fit with fantasy. A Warhammer and...

    Do you/have you played any non-D&D/d20 Fantasy RPGs?

    Never liked it Shadowrun never apealed to me, a bit like warhammer, if I want to play a fantasy world I will play DnD or Merp or Rolemaster(yeah I know they are the same basic rules). If I want techno I play techno. With them mixed I just don't like it. Magic in a real world campaign would...

    Do you/have you played any non-D&D/d20 Fantasy RPGs?

    Other Favourates Even when it stopped being supported, or worse was updated, I loved playing Traveller. I think it was the second RPG I got into. Cyberpunk is an ace game, well I haven't played in a while, my new lot of RPG players can't seem to play in near real games. Any game that kills...

    How did you get into D&D?

    Loosing my DnD Cherry One of my friends at senior school, I was 12 I think, had heard about this game from his big brother, we used to play wargames, I made models and loved tanks but this was different. It was the old blue book game, we played about for a bit but it wasn't much fun because the...
