Picnicon is the annual get-together for Bostongamers, a group of over 450 Boston-area gamers (although many are just lurkers, like I am on this board :) If you want to know more about BG, go here: groups.yahoo.com/group/bostongamers Picnicon is free to all BGers and has lots of gaming and...

From a D&D / Toon crossover: Drizzt Darth Elric - nuff said! From a Superhero / Real World game: Jethro Wataka - the world's only redneck ninja From a Lhankmar game: Tarmalanian Rathlanager and Veringaneria Halthastor - vying for the most fun to pronounce name From an Amber game: Tatavi...

True, in fact, I think this is why there will never be as much sex in roleplaying games as violence. If I am in the mood for sex, why would I invite a bunch of people over to talk about sex, when I have a wonderful husband with whom I could have a lot more fun? On the other hand, when I am in...

I've just finished work on a quick equipment generation system for high level characters. It's sort of a choose one from column a, one from column b kind of thing, and it doesn't have limited use items (wands, potions, scrolls), but it's handy for quickly generating equipment lists, especially...

Interestingly, it appears from the poll that gender, age and marital/parent status doesn't seem to make much of a difference. All are within normal deviance of a little less than 1/3 disapproving and 2/3 approving. Nice poll! I think it goes to show that this is truly a matter of personal...

First off, good luck with the new company! Couple of questions: 1. On the scale between light (Xxxenophile) and dark (BoVD, White Wolf) mature material, in terms of tone, where do you see the new book as falling? 2. WOTC seemed, well, pretty pissed about the press release. Some might say...

Bwahhahahahahaha! ROTF! Seriously, the more I think about this, the more I see a comparison with Xxxenophile, which didn't seem to harm Magic or corrupt Magic players. You can have sex games, I just prefer mine to be female gamer friendly :) Balsamic Dragon

I disagree with your view that the BOVD did not have anything to do with sex. I have skimmed through it, although I don't own it, and I read the support articles in Dragon. However, that's a discussion for a different thread. Balsamic Dragon

Warning actual mature content. Okay people, this is probably not what you are expecting to hear, at least from me, but thinking it over, I don't really have too much of a problem with this, provided it is done right. I was recently interviewed by a Journalism student who was doing an article...

By the way, most people in America do not typically do the "first date" "second date" kind of thing. That only happens on sitcoms. Digressing entirely, it's amazing what people think about this country from watching American television! Contrary to popular belief, not all high schools look...

Bleah! Apparently, they reserve the right to sell your personal information that they request for you to vote. See footnote on bottom of page. I don't think so. Balsamic Dragon

I've tried to keep my house rules minimal with 3E. Partly because I wanted to really test how the system was written, partly because I was teaching it to so many newbies, and partly because you need to learn d20 straight first in order to play all the other d20 games. Of course, I've rewritten...

I think the problem I have with this class is not that it is overpowered (which it is, slightly), but that it is boring! It's a supposed prestige class but it has no interesting group, no special roleplaying requirements, and no special abilities other than bonuses to caster level. In short...

Well, I'd be the town dragon of course! I'd have a small dungeon outside of town, not too ostentatious, suitable for 1st through 4th level characters. I'd keep it nicely stocked with kobalds and such and thus contribute to the town's regular export of experienced adventurers :) Of course, to...

My guesses? A general/warleader class, an artillerist class and some sort of seige engineer class. Stuff that's good for mass combat, but doesn't translate well to the dungeon. Balsamic Dragon

Huh? By Foglio brothers, do you mean Phil and Kaja? Cause if so, Kaja's not Phil's brother, she's his wife :) Or are there other Foglio fantasy artists out there that I am unaware of? Balsamic Dragon

Picked up Races of Faerun this weekend and damn is it good! The art may be poor, but the excellent writing more than makes up for it. After reading every race I had a cool idea for either a character or a plotline. Its got tons of good information and story ideas, well worth the price. Of...

Half-Orc Barbarian: Str: 11+2 = 13 Dex: 7 Con: 13 Int: 8-2 = 6 Wis: 11 Cha: 17-2 = 15 Wow! With that charisma score, I'm gonna be the warleader of all those other 3d6 half-orc barbarians out there ;) Balsamic Dragon

Okay, here goes: Str: 7 Dex: 6 Con: 11 Int: 11 Wis: 8 Cha: 14 Wow those really suck! I guess I'd go with a Halfling Sorcerer, maybe Rogue/Sorcerer, that brings my AC penalty to only -1, with Mage Armor, Hide and Move Silently I might survive for a bit :) I picture her as a street brat...

Personally, I was really disappointed by the quality of art for RoF. Other than a few pictures, the planetouched and genasi come to mind, the art ranged from just okay to cringe-worthy. The gnomes and dwarves especially looked awful. Not inspiring stuff. I'll still pick it up, I just wonder...
