Hi - OP'er here; thanks for the input. Lost track of this thread because, even though I was "subscribed" I never got any notifications that people were posting. Above, Beginning of the End commented that more than 1 PC per player brought RP to a virtual standstill; this is what I have found as...

My group has come to the conclusion that it is OK for each player to run up to two PC's. We have 4 players plus one DM. We rotate DM's each adventure between the 3 players who like to DM. Whoever is DM'ing also runs a DMPC so that that character can blend in with the party on the next...

Are you sure about this "Student of Battle" interpretation? Is there an official source that you can point me to that provides this ruling/interpretation? I read the same words in the PHB and come to a different conclusion; need help - thinking of picking up this feat, but if it is only 1/day...

for the benefit of M1.9P, I was having problems as well, but I tried "right click, save as" to a folder on my desktop rather that try to open it outright. It is an 11 MB file.

... o, rly ? ... If the above comment is true I seriously doubt that you were at a barber shop - at least not a barber shop like any I have ever visited :)

another twist... Don't know what to make of this, but it is worrisome... I ordered May 29th and had an original delivery date of 6/6 - 6/10... well I also got the delay e-mail that changed my expectations to expected delivery of 6/18 - 6/28. When I went to Amazon though for order status I got...

...good input, thanks... Thanks to all for the input. The concensus so far seems that KotS is fully appropriate for a first time DM, with one caveat - wait for the books to come out. Actually, I was leaning that way anyway, mainly for the reason cited below, regarding the pregens: Knowing my...

...thanks Thanks for the input. Sounds like the encounter summary on a two page spread is a plus (I am glad I reread your post Mr Nail, as that comment wasn't there to begin with). Also, not only did you say "neato" but you also said "keen". No problem though; I grew up during a time when such...

Here's a question for you. In a regular gaming group of 4 people we have 2 DMs who alternate; each run a lengthy adventure/campaign and then switch. They both are very good at it although they run totally different style games. It seems though that at the conclusion of our current campaign (in a...

... good summary ... This point nicely summarizes what I have been saying, except that I am a player, and not a DM (yet) so it sounds like I would happy if I heard that from my DM (which I mostly do).

... good discussion going on here ... To me, allowing the setting to be flexible by not pre-mapping POL, makes sense and is consistent with how I abstractly think about D&D the game. This is especially true at the outset of a new edition. I am a relative newcomer to the game, however I...

... and to elaborate a little I will add ... For me a big part of D&D is the actual sense of adventure which I think harkens back to my time as a Boy Scout. Growing up in suburban DC, Montgomery County Maryland to be exact, it was possible at the time to actually hike parts of Rock Creek Park...

I like that POL has no map because it helps promote discovery and it reinforces the sense of adventure that is inherent in D&D. Early maps produced by explorers of any ilk and era are limited to what could be seen or encountered by the adventuring party. The maps start out distorted and limited...

thanks Mr. Hypersmurf !!! THANKS! how cool...

Hi... I started story hour about a year ago and after a number of entries I got busy with other things, but now I can't find it anymore. I can't seem to "search" forums either. Any clues? It was called something like "the adventures of torvick tand" or somesuch...
