    What should the next "Monster Type" book from WotC be?

    OUTSIDERS!!! I think that they are the most authentic of the monster types. They evoke such a cool feeling.

    Creative Exercise - The City

    In an area of less repute dwell the smithys in the Soots District. This district is a rough as the smithys themselves and is looked down upon by most of the city dwellers of other districts. Along the river they slave in a cramped area that the city will allow them. Not much law enforcement...

    What is the best d20 book no one talks about?

    Though Im not sure how many people talk about it, I would say... Skull and Bones, the Green Ronin swashbook. The flavor is inspiring, fresh and fun to read. Its like a core set for swash lovers... with a dark twist.

    Any fantasy writers out there?!

    Tav, thanks for the great refrences. My favorite author is Howard and I have followed his work in Wierd Tales. Are any of those mags still in publication? As for my style, I would probably classify it as adventure fantasy. It is heavily influenced by the gritty descriptions of the Howard...

    Your favorite Magic system?

    I played an Arcana Unearthed greenbond, and was hooked. As far as players go, I think that this is the best system because of two main reasons: One, the flexability is very funl; and two, the avalible spells are dictated by the flavor of magic user (for example, a wild druid-like mage would...

    a different kind of bard..would you allow him in your campaign

    Any role playing is good role playing! It sounds like this guy will have a positive effect on the table mood. Later on in the game, it would be interesting as well to put him in a non-comedic position, such as romance or tragedy. As far as game mechanics, I have run into trouble with heavy...

    Has anyone managed to make the monk less oriental?

    Perhaps by renaming some abilities and giving the monk more divine affiliation you could get away from the oriental theme. Kind of like making them more like unarmed and combat based clerics than just unarmed fighters. I have run into the same problem in my games, and especially writing...

    Banking in Medieval Societies

    Perhaps you could treat it as somewhat of an impediment to the players. It is very hard to keep track of exactly how much. Maybe two players could have conflicting ideas on if some has been stolen. Also in battle it could spill after the impact of a spiked warhammer and rain gold all over the...
