Also, just to clarify, I'd be willing to run something other than my homebrew. It's actually a fairly traditional setting, but I'd be willing to use published material instead. I'm fairly flexible. Alternately, if you're a DM looking to start a Friday night game, I'd play, and I think we'd...

How about revelation? You could speak of "casting a revelation," minor revelations, major revelations, etc.

Hi Flatscan. I just sent you an email re: the Conan game. It sounds fun. In case you didn't receive the email, my address is phaeryx[at]yahoo.com. Let me know if you're still looking for an extra player. Chris

Hi. I recently moved to Austin and a Friday night game would be perfect for me. I like D&D 3.5, SWSE, and D20 Modern very much-- I have many books for those systems (yeah, all 2 for SWSE) and I'd be happy to play or DM/GM a game. I can't IM you with my basic account, but you can email me...

Honestly, I dislike about 90% of D&D monsters. I'm such a fantasy snob, it's just awful. It's a real problem for me. I wish I were more open-minded. I don't have a problem with alot of the monster stats, but in a homebrewed campaign world I would find myself giving most of them a visual...

I'm not a fan of handing out arbitrary extras. I am a fan of starting out at higher levels though. I would just say you graduate at level 4 or 5 or so. But really, I'm not a fan of the adventure academy idea, but only on the basis of personal game-world asthetics, so I have no reasonable...

My favorite base class is non-core: the Scout, from Complete Adventurer. I never tire of it. It's like it was made just for me, with some of the best aspects of the Rogue and Ranger rolled into one. Love the skirmish ability, evasion, speed bonus, high skill points per level, and the wide...

PHB2 I love for the high-level feats, not so much for the new base classes and variants (some of these, like the Shapeshift Druid variant, I really dislike, and are not well thought out). MIC is just fabulous. Great items, plus a list at the end of all the items in both this book and the DMG...

Fallcrest? That's the name of a suburban neighborhood populated by upper middle-class white anglo-saxon protestants. I'm crestfallen.

I wonder if the fact that the gnome and the half-orc are the least favorite has any bearing, psychologically, on the fact that they are two of the "ugliest" of the core races. This is arguable, but based solely on 3.5 depictions, these 2 races are physically less attractive than the others...

I've got this. I also have all of the older Talislanta books. I wouldn't recommend running a Talislanta campaign without some of the older sourcebooks. It's a brilliant setting, but the D20 book is poorly put together. True, Talislanta has never been about racial balance, but the bigger...

So, is your geographical setting Earth, with an alternate history? If so, do you use real-world historical events, personalities, or locations alongside the D&D stuff?

1) I don't like FR, so this is moot. I am, however, forced to play in the FR setting. 2) Introduced via game. 3) No way. 4) No way. The bigger this setting gets, the longer it's history becomes, the worse it gets. I wish it would just go away. I should qulaify that: I hate all of the...

Well, I suppose I am interested in joining your group. War of the Burning Sky looks interesting. I will shoot you an email.

I used to work for HPB. Stuff doesn't always get priced and stocked for sale in a timely manner. It depends on how backed up they are. It could be a day or a week. RPG material can sometimes be a problem, because at some locations employees aren't familiar enough with which games are...
