I don't know that I've ever hated something I've written. I've been displeased because what I wrote didn't come out quite like I'd hoped. I think my biggest frustration with writing is trying not too be to oviously influenced by the writers I enjoy at that point in time. I have gone back and...

I put adventure, excitement, socialization, and setting. I also like the creative aspect of it as well. However, the major reason that keeps me into gaming is the ability to spread evil throughout the land. Yeah, that's what keeps me coming back :lol: .

I voted for the 75% option. I'm an old school dugeon crawl fan ;) .

I'm definitely going to wait until XP is not supported anymore. I am a Linux/Unix guy anyway so I'm only keeping Windows around because I can and some things are only supported under it. However, for my home computing, it looks like I'll start plowing ahead again in the Linux direction (I'll...

I agree with the others. I find viking culture fascinating and would love to include it in my game. I do like a lot of background material but seeing as how this is for a game setting, most of us will probably include our own geographical information. I'm not saying you shouldn't include such...

For me personally, I'd do away with all of the other races as PC races. Oh, I think it is fine to have elves and what not in the world but I really don't see them as hobknobbing with each other. I mean, for my worlds, there are low population density so it isn't as if they would even come into...

Back in the day I really thought that bards were fairly cool. However, for whatever reason, the concept has just come to seem a little lame to me. I know others like it and that is great; but for me, I just can't get into the concept enough to even care about the game mechanics.

There is an OSRIC of sorts for the "Basic Style" (meaning the D&D line from the boxed sets to the Rules Cyclopedia). It was done by Chris Gonnerman over at Dragonsfoot and called the Basic Fantasy Roleplaying System. It may be along the lines of what you are looking for. I can't get to...

A Giant snapping turtle again for the OSRIC Companion: As always, feedback is appreciated! Please let me know what you think. Criticism is welcome (it always helps me to improve to have some constructive criticism). Thanks, John

That doesn't sound like bad DMing to me. As the others have said, the players acted foolishly. You did not create a situation that was intended to bring about their deaths, they chose to seek out their own fortune or folly and ended up paying the price. Actually, the way you handled the orcs...

I pretty much universally tip 20% (even at buffets). In the past couple of years, I've become a bit more prosperous and feel that unless the service is truely awfuly and it is the server's fault(in which case I'll usually just leave 50 cents or a quarter), I'll always leave a good tip. As for...

Anything other than the commoner class is wildly overpowered :p . Nah, anyway I know that there are some things that are broken, but really, I don't see why I as a DM shouldn't be able to fix things as they arise. I pretty much don't allow for any new rules until I've been able to read though...

Hrm, that's unfortunate :( . I wonder if the Player's Kit did not sell that well. I really like having a softcover PHB and was looking forward to a softcover DMG. I was even thinking about getting another players kit just to have another softcover PHB and more dice (and I'd get the one with...

Heya all, I was just wondering if anyone knows if WotC is still planning on releasing the DM's Kit boxed set this year? I really liked the paperback PHB in the Player's kit and would find a paperback DMG similarly useful. So anyone know anything?

Heh, I'm originally from Seattle and want to come back to either Seattle or Portland after we've had our fun globe trotting (probably in the next 1 to 4 years as my Civil Service job only lets me stay overseas for 5 years total). I'll definitely look you guys up then (or maybe if I get a chance...

Wow, I want to be in DM Magic's game, heh :D .

I'll be watching this one with interest. It would be nice to have a 3.x "Rules Cyclopedia" type volume. However, I get the feeling that this will be something else entirely. It would be nice if if was sort of an adjunct to the Basic D&D set and Player's Kit. Speaking of which, are they still...

I remember the whole social class for the chevalier and all. I would have liked to seen it expanded upon. I guess I'd have liked to have seen more info on 0 level peaseants and serfs (and what would be the expert in 3.x games). I'd have also liked to have seen more info on aristocrats as well...

I would love to see some new Planescape stuff. When 2e came out, I pretty much had stopped playing D&D. Most of the stuff that came out durring the 2e era just did not appeal to me. However, when I came across the Planescape stuff, I really liked it. Being a big Elric/Eternal Champion fan...

At the time, I really liked UA. I haven't really read through it in years but I thought that there was some interesting info in there. However, I would have liked to have seen much more info on social classes and the like. I felt that if they were going to include the chevalier, they should...
