    Avoid this vendor!

    Sorry to post and run this morning, but the job took the GM away from the messageboards. I most certainly would not act out frustration or otherwise slam a vendor if I did not have both a just case and the email/reciepts to back up my position. The history thus far: Feb 5, 2003 - I order a...

    Avoid this vendor!

    Do yourself and your wallet a favor and avoid CITIZEN GAMES - do not send them money as they will take your money and not ship product, not return email, and not answer their phone. I don't know if they are defunct or just a pack of thieves, but avoid them. Stick with a local retailer or...

    Casting a Fantasy TV Show

    1. Who are your protagonists? Ron - the "super hero" with the ability to perfectly know all that will happen Will - the sidekick who comes along for sarcastic comments and dips cherry Skoal alot ("no one likes a quitter!!!") Jason - the friend with the prescription drug "issue" - mostly a...

    [OT] Upon watching PJ butcher another's work.

    PJs real problem... PJ had one huge obstacle to overcome - Tolkien's writing. The visualization in the book on settings is fine, characters are roughly sketched, and the dialogue is either poetry or trite. PJ walked into a very messy playground and cleaned the place up. I've never understood...

    [OT] Equilibrium

    AWESOME I saw it twice on opening weekend here in Phoenix - the movie is amazing. Plot, setting, characters, dialogue. Worth the effort. And a "buy" on DVD on day one of its release Ron

    Two simultaneous campaigns?

    I'll have to give some thought to a reward system that works on both ends of the campaign - my guys don't look for alot of x.p.s, so that shouldn't be an issue. My big concern is that different players will like their characters from opposite sides of the playing field and if they figure out...

    Two simultaneous campaigns?

    I have a FR campaign that has gone really well for the last year and I was thinking about trying something out to add some spice - any opinions are welcome. We have a group of players led by a disgraced noble's son playing in Cormyr - they've been on a personal honor-type quest to regain this...

    Players: How do you take initiative in spurring plot/action, when DM does not?

    Maturity One of the requirements of being a player is a certain degree of maturity. There are a couple of routes to go for every player, but most people will stick to their own personality types - leaders and followers. Leader player - this guy (or gal) plays characters that end up directing...

    modern minis?

    Looking for a decent line(s) of modern minis that I can tackle for my new d20 modern campaign. I play with 1" hex mat, so I'd be going for the same scale as chainmail/GW/Reaper, etc. Any thoughts? I'd want some of the following: SWAT figures men in suits ordinary civilians recent soldiers...

    Battle Mats

    yes I do Mats are critical to the game! Miniatures are critical to the game! We've used them for a while, and they really make a difference. We have a 4'x8' gaming table that we play at, and elevated on cinderblocks in the center of the board is a 2'x4' board that holds the mat - it allows...

    Middle Earth D20 Best Original Character Contest Entries

    get it going Two thoughts from me... 1) I'd like some feedback on Weodegil - take off the gloves and let me know what you thought. Was he dull? Boring? Not flexible enough? not fleshed out enough? 2)To get interest going again on the site, what if we started a concerted effort to...

    Using Cleave is Munchkinesque?

    Not a munchkin I assume the fighter had the Cleave feat - if that is the case then someone needs to explain a few things to him. 1) He is there to tank foes and kill stuff. If he can whack a minion each turn and still get an attack on the big bad guy, he MUST do it. Other non-fighters will...

    From the Journal of Arlee...

    Greetings - as part of a future/ upcoming campaign in the Forgotten Realms, I recently put together the outlines of a character background for an Elven Ranger named Arlee Greenleaf. We like to develop a bit of back story for characters, and I chose a different approach this time. Rather than...

    Cross between Tremors and Dune

    Looking for some help with a monster - have a need for some sort of burrowing worm-thing that can travel around pretty quick underground and still mount a decent attack. maybe a CR 7-14 monster, large at a minimum, and not a Purple Worm. Any ideas? It might look like a big worm form Dune or...

    Harniacs vs. d20/D&D players

    That history bit I think it was ACE a page back that made a comment about a Harn game appealing to the history book-type. As someone who has played Harn and 3E (and Rolemaster!) and owns gobs of the stuff from all the systems, I do agree. A good friend of mine is a history major at ASU, and...
