I already envy you and you're not in my group :(

No, I've never seen Epicurus the Sage. My favorite action figure is Ferocious Frege.

The issue with 2e was that suppliments became required. In 3.x they aren't. In fact, I rarely buy supplimental materials because my wife won't let me. I'm happy with the core rules and if a player wants to add something additional, they can as long as I have a chance to look it over and think...

Ah, I'd hate to be in your game! Just kidding. I do financial work that requires detail to numbers. I just find that in game playing, I could care less about details. I'm there to inspire heroic tales that will allow my players to go back to work confidently able to say they killed a horde of...

Sometimes linear is more fun and sometimes it isn't. Ok, here seems to be the real issue: It's up to the DM to know what style of game the players want. If the players need to be lead along, then you as a DM may need to do that. If they want open game play, then you as a DM need to be able to...

From what I read, it looks like he's using that "contact Me" form as a guage to see if the books will even be printed. So, it's important to use it.

It's not even worth worrying about. I got the 3.5 for some reason, but I won't convert to another version until I'm really tired of this one. It's stable enough for me. 2.0 was driving me nuts and that's why I went on hiatus. I could have stuck with 3.0, but I succumbed to peer pressure :(. This...

I'm going to beg my wife to let be buy it :heh:. Wish me luck! I would love to see that comic on paper and it's going to have some extras too.

If you're still interested in opinions, here's mine: Why don't I buy Dragon? It's easy, I don't need it. I've only bought one magazine ever. I was tempted to buy one other, but held off. I just don't have the money to spend on a game accessory that I'm not even motivated to incorporate. I've...

Only at low levels do I care as a DM. Then again, at those levels, you've got the opportunity to manage it. Once you hit mid levels, your choices of spells will begin to agonize you more than your weight & encombrance, so I give players a break and just eyeball it or judge based on...

There are times obviously when you have to railroad as a DM. Sometimes games go long and your players aren't on top of their game. It's nice to be able to lead by the nose a bit to help spark some interest. The real key is that when the players begin to show independant thought again, you don't...

That's cool. I'll have to incoporate this into the holliday system for my game.

I'm thinking of setting up a nice overland battle for my players next D&D game. The players are 12th level, so it would be nice to do some larger scale overland map combat that allows for the use of natural terrain in the combat and long range spells. I just wanted to know if anyone had any map...

It's a nice ship. I know my daughter would like to play with it. I'd have a $10k pile of wood on my hands (she's 4).

A +1 longsword is worth about 4300 or so. It's comprised of a masterwork longsword worth a little over 300gp. It also has unknown material components that may or may not be implemented into the longsword to make it magical worth about 2000gp. Some of that creation cost goes into casting of...
