I don't know what it means in this context, but kamikazi means divine wind and was the name for Japanese suicide bombers in WWII, and tiltowait was the name of the most powerful spell in the original Wizardry computer game which was basically a carefully aimed nuclear strike :) Balsamic Dragon

My guess? If TSR had gone into bankruptcy, Black Isle (i.e. Interplay) would have tried to buy the D&D rights to preserve the future viability of the Baldur's Gate series. Not being a publishing company, they would have either wanted to license out the rights to the publishing side of the...

I suppose I'm a poster child for female gamemaster :) I've been running the games almost as long as I've been playing them (over 20 years). I was keeping track of how many sessions of third edition D&D I'd run for a while, but I stopped counting around 100. I don't have any problems with...

Try this: Lawful Dragon + Monk levels With just a few levels you have a nice bonus to AC and Saves, a stunning attack, evasion, and you get Deflect Arrows which dragons generally couldn't get because of low Dex. And then of course, there's my personal choice: Lawful Good Dragon + Paladin...

I would go further and say that this isn't even really good as a PC monster prestige class. It is more likely to be used by the GM who wants to make his monster NPC a bit more survivable in combat without making his actual attacks too tough. Unfortunately, I think this should have been done as...

I agree that physical differences shouldn't be reflected in stat bonuses or penalties. One way to reflect physical differences is with regional feats, however. Instead of giving an Intelligence bonus, offer an Education feat that gives more skill points. Instead of giving a Con bonus, offer...

Come on guys! Hennet is easily the sexiest iconic, hands down! Great body, brooding pout, cool claws, skimpy outfit, tattoos, wild hair, no one else comes close! If there was a female iconic with Hennet's look (perhaps minus the bare breast :) there wouldn't be a point in even having a...

I saw the clip and I thought it was great! Sure, they played up the nerd factor, but they showed real D&D games in progress, not made-up ones. No mention of satanism or anything like that. Plus, we have a new celebrity to add to the list: Hal Sparks said that he plays D&D and is the DM in...

From my current campaign :) Only the bravest face Elemental Evil. Total Party Kill? Balsamic Dragon

Re: Re: Top ten reasons that real dragons don't chat Actually, we Balsamic Dragons tend to use our breath weapons in more civilized ways, such as creating a nice reduction sauce with roasted shallots :) A little bird (thanks PC!) told me of this recent doubt to my existance, but really, it's...

Looks good! Hennet always seemed like the "bad boy" of the iconics to me, and you've kept that brooding look! And the pecs, yum ;) Balsamic Dragon

Concerning the media: newspapers and television news will not do a story on a book that has been published that people might find offensive. They will do a story on a book that people have found offensive and are now complaining about loudly. And even then, there has to be something else...

I feel like the Martha Stewart of gaming... Don't throw those dice away! Ten ways to use old dice: 1. Place in a large vase to hold flower stems in place! 2. Using a pin drill, puncture dice to make fashionable jewelry! 3. Sew a small pillow and fill with old dice to make a beanbag toy for...

Re: Monte Obsessed? I don't think so! You forgot about Return to the Temple of Elemental EEEEVIILLLL! Seriously though, it is true that Monte _has_ been focused on darker, horror genre roleplaying as of late. There isn't anything wrong with that! Personally, I don't mix too much horror...

That's a good one! I would have to go with the Forgotten Realms Campaign Supplement. I am relatively new to the Realms and could imagine spending quite a bit of time exploring it. Balsamic Dragon

Never mind, I found it :) http://www.wizards.com/3e/images/3E_artgallery.jpg Aren't you glad I'm procrastinating from work? Unfortunately, the image requires some editing... Balsamic Dragon

I know the pic you mean, it was posted as part of the promotional art for D&D3E. There were actually a bunch of pics, mostly of various characters. Unfortunately, they are nowhere to be found in the WOTC webpage archive, nor do they appear to be in the "black pages." Anyone know where these...

I'm not planning on buying it. I like Monte Cook as a writer, but I don't think it's necessary for my game. That said, I would be much more likely to buy it if it were written as a Call of Cthulu supplement, or perhaps a new D&D world with darker tendancies. I just don't think that most D&D...
