I had a group of players like this when I first began playing. I will admit my players and I were all a bit immature at the time and new to role playing. My players would basically kill anyone who crossed them, they didn't like or that said or did something they weren't happy with. One of the...

Maybe you can give the Bard 5 or 10 levels and reduce the other characters to the roles of henchmen. They can just follow him around and bask in his glory. Carry his bags and saddle his horse. Every hero has that sidekick that bites it in battle, they can leap in front of oncoming arrows and...

that's awesome!

An expansion pack for WOW is a lot more like the Epic Level Handbook in D&D. You play the regular game but, if you want access to higher levels, new races and new abilities you have to get the expansion. If there was a flat fee to use all the minis in a certain book that would be fair. If I own...

Now imagine you are running through WOW and suddenly you can't fight a monster because you didn't pay for it. You payed for the game and you are paying a monthly fee to play but, you didn't purchase the monster separately so you can't utilize it in game.

I realize that some people might have hundreds of dollars to spend each month on video games, D&D books and other hobbies but, I don't. I have a family to support and I like having a house to live in, a car to drive and food to eat too much I guess. I probably buy 2-3 video games a year and 4-5...

It's funny how significant the difference between $10 and $15 seems. I definitely can't see paying $15 a month and I can't see my whole group paying $15 each either.

I saw this in the latest Sage Advice Column dated 1/4/2008 "Q: How much does the D&D Insider subscription cost? A: Again, another year-end reminder as we find this question still coming in to us quite often. As stated on 09/05: A final monthly subscription price has not yet been announced...

I agree with you. Which is why I have a problem with the name Barbarian. It is in itself a sterotype. When I think of fighter, rogue or mage there are a vast number of different characters that come to mind. It is the same as the change of the theif class to rogue. Rogue better represents the...

Here is a the physical description of Wulfgar from the Forgotten Realms Wiki "The physical build of Wulfgar is astounding, giving him incredible strength. He has even been known to crush a man's head with his bare hands, though it was not an easy task for him.[2] Wulfgar is nearly seven feet...

If you look at the way Barbarian's are handled, or mishandled, in Dungeons & Dragons they are really trying to create a Berserker class by using a race of people. I think the way R. A. Salvatore portrays Barbarian's is most effective. They fall somewhere between men and giants. By making...

Am I the only person who thinks Barbarian's are a race and not a class?

My question is wouldn't he have disgraced himself more as a dwarven defender if he didn't do everything in his power to protect the party?

I had a group of pcs that were trying to thwart off an attempt by a Necromancer to become a lich. The necromancer had been the parties main adversary and the head of an evil order for some time. The pcs had never come in direct contact (or so they thought) with the Necromancer having done battle...

I am sad to say the upcoming 4th edition has halted my annual gaming groups holiday tradition. Normally we each by another member a new book for Christmas but, I don't think it will happen this year. We all want to evaluate the new version before investing in new 3rd edition books. I may get...
