We sat down and dealt out hands and played it that way. There are suggestions in the rulebook for little tricks you can do if you have 5 ranks in Bluff and other skills (like synergy bonuses), so we used those. But actually playing out some rounds was fun.

And Malcanthet? How does she fit in? With what you've given us so far, she's either a) an exception that makes no sense (demon queen of succubi, who are now devils), or b) no longer any relation to her existing persona and story. So, which bad option are you taking? I like the new cosmology...

I almost always DM these days (and when I don't, I play elves or halflings), but my players have used everything but half-orcs over the last couple years.

While I do encourage a certain amount of munchkinism (probably a great deal of it, in the grand scheme of things), both my players and I have sat down to either eliminate or completely rewrite a rules system once we recognize an unacceptable potential for abuse. Many systems have been nerfed...

Don't be so sure. Xen'drik is where House Cannith's original fortunes came from, where the warforged components and docents come from, and where it's rumored the schemas for warforged came from. All in all, I think we may be getting some information on how the giants originally invented...

As to the difference between erotica and porn, I believe the famous comment from Supreme Court Justice Potter Steward on the topic of pornography sums it up nicely: "I can't define it, but I know it when I see it." Of course, then Justice John Marshall Harlan said, "One man's vulgarity is...

Eh... you've kind of misunderstood the debate. The 3e subdual mechanic and the 3.5e nonlethal damage mechanic are identical. The d20M non-lethal damage mechanic, on the other hand, involves saving throws and whatnot. The idea with that system is that there should be a chance for any attack to...

For my campaign, I'm using the armor as DR rules as written in UA, and the damage conversion rules, and the class defense rules (although I'll probably tone those down to WoT or SW levels after another week of this... they're just obscenely high in UA, and thus, in my campaign right now). And, I...

I believe the theme is supposed to be something like "pulp noir and indiana-jones style adventure, in a magical world." Incidentally, I'm very excited about Eberron and definately intend to pick it up... but I probably won't run it. I mean, I'm a Forgotten Realms nut, but I haven't run anything...
