    Opinions on Gesalt Characters?

    It's a great way to fill in the weaknesses of a monster class. I often get a feeling of matching classes ala Guild Wars: You don't play two classes, you pick a combo that compliment your initial concept as well as each other. With that said, even with all good saves alow level gestatlt...

    Your thoughts on 'Xcrawl"?

    Sorry, mis-spoke myself. I ordered it from the LGS, and I'm waiting for it to arrive. How does the additional source material stand up? Good stuff, or is Xcrawl the height if the game?

    Your thoughts on 'Xcrawl"?

    I've pre-ordered the book, and what I've seen is a blast. I LOVE the fluff. That being said, is there anything I should look out for? Odd mechanics, possible abuse, etc?

    Forcing rules to accomodate character concepts

    Can't say I wholy agree with this. While it might not set something in stone, it can definitely cater to specific genres. A few examples: -Putting a Gundam in the Star Wars saga system will definitely change the feel of the game. -Anyone wanting to play a William Tell or Robin Hood based...

    Forcing rules to accomodate character concepts

    Or the guy who wants to be wolverine, but still dies from a gun shor at the same level (M&M I'm look at you...).

    More wizards rumor mongering...

    Yeah, but it's all I got. Wasn't sure if there was anything to it, given the recent surge in supposed deletions.

    More wizards rumor mongering...

    Some of the posters on the WotC site feel that the mods have gone into overdrive deleting posts and threads. I'v only seen one deleted, after which the mod who did the deleting made a new thread on the same subject. Has anyone noticed a trend, or is this paranoia kicking in amongst the WotC...

    What's this I hear about Wizards suing WizKids??

    Wasn't out to bash lawyers. I know one myself, a prosecutor (butchered spelling?) who takes Aikido. I swear the guy took his stress out on me on the mat... :p

    What's this I hear about Wizards suing WizKids??

    Agreed, but I'm guessing Wizkids and WotC are paying their lawyers.

    If you were an arcane mechanik/telepath, what kind of tech would you specialize in?

    One of my players is starting a gestalted character with the above classes. He's claiming to be part of an R&D firm for exotic tech. He's also looking at feats that allow him to 'grow' tools and objects from specified terrains (it is treated as masterwork for time and cost considerations). So...

    What's this I hear about Wizards suing WizKids??

    I'm hearing over the grape vine that WotC tried to sue the makers of Pirates of the Spanish Main, claiming they had the patent on TCG. Per the same source, they were suing WizKids over the Pocket Model TCG for Star Wars. Apparently, WotC dropped the suit. Wiz Kids is supposedly counter suing...

    Need help designing a long term patrol craft for Dragon Star

    BUMP>>> Anyone, anyone at all? I'll take any engineering type suggestions (two decks vs one, X facilities should ideally be close to Y facilities, etc).

    House Rule #2: Calling the DM out.

    Can't say I like the 'calling out' rule. It would be too easy for a player to make the call in a difficult fight, then find a way to beat the now not so surprising monster through meta gaming. I try to stay on the up and up. If they have a problem with the encounter, I explain what I can...

    ..the heck is "Gleemax" on Wotc?

    Can't say too much. Apparently it's a forum for all games. Per a WotC moderator Glee-max will also have a link to WotC's digital initiative when it becomes active. A side note: Based on the WotC moderators descriptions, their board members are fearing that the DI is some kind of Myspace for...

    Need help designing a long term patrol craft for Dragon Star

    I have these, but thank you anyway. I'm needing help in actually designing the ships floor plan. What's essential, what's recreational. Shouldit be with two deck? Three? Since the players will be spending a great deal of time in it, I'm looking to emerse them by giving some visuals as to how...

    Need help designing a long term patrol craft for Dragon Star

    I'm not asking for everyone to design this, I just need pointers on how to cram this into a ship. I'd also like heads up on anything I may be missing. I'm not much of an engineer. I'm restarting a DS campaign soon, closely resembling my last (players left the last campgin, and those remaining...

    What do you think D&D is missing?

    A sense of adventure? :( I seems that, unless a DM goes seriously out of their way to amp up a challenge, the default is to let the players win.

    Is the "official D&D product" really that big a deal?

    I've found this to be the opposite, and is one of the reasons I don't buy WotC. I can get 2 OGL books for the price of one WotC book. More if I hunt through the bargain bin. ;) That, and I didn't see the need to pay another $90 for 3.5, and most OGL still fits the 3.0 format.
