    I killed my wife's character!

    Why do some husbands freak out when their wives get angry about something? It isn't the end of the world. I would be pissed too if my character died that way, but I would get over it. This isn't a problem that necessarily needs fixing. What it sounds like to me, is that you really want her...

    Help please! Need inspiration!

    Thanks for all of the ideas so far! I definately will use the insight bonus. I really like the idea of scrying through traps, specifically an ability that lets you roll scry to know when one of your traps goes off. I also like the idea of being able to set your traps to only trigger when...

    Help please! Need inspiration!

    I promised one of my players that I would finish writing up a prestige class for tonights game and I have procrastinated all week and now I have writers block! Here's what I have: Arcane Trapmaker - the party is going through Return to the Temple of Elemental Evil and has discovered a dwarven...

    Bitching thread.

    Why!? Why is it that I have a million cool ideas when it comes to just casually throwing ideas around, but when I have a game to run after work today and I promised my player that I would write up his prestige class I can't think of a damned thing! Grrrr.... I think I will post another thread...

    Update -- Gaming wives, the ongoing saga!

    Cool! Some advice, since you asked ;) Let her make up her character however she wants to. Make sure all the options are clear, but also accomodate anything that might not be a totally easy fit within the rules. Example, a friend of mine who was a complete newbie to gaming wanted her...

    Redesigning and re-branding EN World

    My suggestions: Take everything that you receive that reads like: "This website has put up some new content this day/week that is substantially similar to the content that they put up every day/week" and trash it. This includes both publishing sites (WOTC, etc.) as well as fan sites...

    [Believe it or not, ontopic] Mike Myers on "Inside the Actors Studio"

    For the people that I game with? Well, two out of three isn't bad. Actually, I've kissed a real live girl, but you know, not in that way. ("wink, wink, nudge, nudge, know whatimean?") Balsamic Dragon

    Ideal Party Make-up.

    My ideal party only has four members: One character with an unusual race - ex: fire genasi One character with an unusual class combination - ex: bard/druid One character with an unusual personality quirk, code of ethics or regional background - ex: Rashamani witch And one character with a...

    Tell Me About the Scarred Lands

    Hmmm, ... no mention of female characters or NPCs or gods except for a goddess who was raped by her father and human women who are raped by elves... Call me reactionary, but it doesn't sound like that much fun to me :( What are the opportunities for female player characters? What are gender...

    Books you DO like.

    Core PH, DMG and MM: These are the best and get more use than anything else. Other stuff: FRCS, Faiths and Pantheons, Lords of Darkness: These are awesome and I am a new FR convert ;) The Sunless Citidel: I hooked more people on 3E with this module than I can count! I've run it about 5...

    Forgotten Rums....? Evil Overlords...?

    Question for Anthony: Are the general opinions on this board at all representative of what WOTC believes the average D&D consumer feels? Do you and other WOTC employees believe that our feedback is useful to your business? If so, then despite the stupid metaphor and unkind labelling, rants...

    What is your favorite thing about Drizzt or Elminster

    Drizzt: a vague attempt at a black (or at least dark skinned) fantasy rolemodel. We need more of these. Elminster: ummmm, I got nothing here... Balsamic Dragon

    Forgotten Rums....? Evil Overlords...?

    I just started running in the Realms, not because I haven't, in the past, come up with my own campaign worlds, but solely because the 3E FR book was very compelling and had lots of good fluff. I have little need for crunch these days. I can write it myself. In fact, so can everyone else...

    [Repost] The Secret Diary of Padma Illindra

    ROTFLMAO!!!!! That was awesome! I only wish I could show it to my players, but they've only taken on the air temple so far, so you guys are a bit ahead. More please! Balsamic Dragon

    Extortioners, killers and maimers? Hummph! I'll have you know I'm a paladin in good standing. See if I invite you to any of my parties :( Balsamic Dragon

    Sure, you are more than welcome to join my new FR campaign, just hop a flight to the US, come by Somerville, Massachusetts and give us a call! So long as you are not allergic to cats, there's always room for more players. ;) BD

    (FR) Silver Marches

    I like it a lot. Not so much for the statistics and such, but for the descriptions of each faith's tenants and philosophy. Useful not only when building PC and NPC clerics, but also when working on local culture, which is affected by what religions are practiced. I just ran a short FR...

    Evil with a Capital "E"

    Can't remember whether this was mentioned on these boards, or where I got the idea, but here it is: Creatures are "Evil" with a capital E if they are one of the following: outsiders from an evil plane, evil undead, clerics who have the evil domain, or those who have been lured by and/or...

    Quick alignment question. Is intent the same as action?

    Question: this guy wants to prove that he can kill a dragon, right? Why? Is it because he wants other people to fear how strong he is? That would be evil. Is it because he wants to know for himself whether he can do it? Probably more neutral. It sounds more like the latter to me. How...

    (FR) Silver Marches

    Wow, I didn't expect to get quite so much flak for that comment :) I guess what I meant by saying that I thought it was a tad munchkinish is that I thought, based on a cursory overview, that it was overpowered. It struck me as an attempt to "rebalance" the world of Faerun after third edition...
