I wasn't being serious ;) However, sometimes my paranoia kicks in and I get the feeling that all of these changes to the game are just a part of a devious scheme by WotC. I don't know what that scheme is and how it works, but that is just because my mortal mind is to weak to comprehend it in...

I was in the middle of writing a post about quest cards being bad because they are like a DM saying "I have this prepared" and "sorry no quest card, don't even bother doing this" when it dawned on me. Just write ALL quest cards on the spot. If the players head for the Goblin caves, take out a...

This is a summary of what the King promised the characters, it is similar to something a player would write down (probably without the reward part). Maybe having it written on cards instead of in a notebook is better, I really can't tell. This is just *DING* *New quest*. Honestly, if I found a...

It's one thing to draw inspiration from something and another to use rules and aids that work in a different type of game/passtime. A hero in a book will defeat the villain the way the author imagined it. A hero in a computer game will defeat the villain the way the designers imagined it...

Just like video games are influenced by movies.

I was also a new player once :) I remember on my first session (lvl 9 ranger) we were attacking a mad baron's stronghold. The enemy archers were shooting, and the other players were saying things like "total defense as a standard action and move 30 feet" which at the time was all greek to me. I...

Rules Heavy system #2 "You can't do that, running up a monster is not covered in the rules" Rules Heavy system #3 "You can't do that, there's a feat in Dungeonscape that lets you climb a monster, but you have to attack it with a hammer and a spike first"

And all of these tools, diaries, shopping lists are very useful. But when someone else gives me a shopping list I go to the store and just go from shelf to shelf until I have completed the list. I don't browse, I don't even think about if the list is missing something I just get each item on the...

I write stuff down IRL too, but it's mostly stuff like "buy a light bulb". I never had to write down "go out on friday". I have no trouble remembering things that I find interesting and that I want to do. I also tend to remember the names of interesting people I meet. The same thing happens...

Finally some mechanics! And I'm liking what I'm seeing. There are a few things i hope are clarified in the rules though: how does a character recognize doomspores? (knowledge check?) what happens if somebody lobs a fireball (or equivalent) in doomspore terrain? does a creature in the area of...

But can you wear more than one quiver at a time? And what happens if you run out of arrows, do you: 1. drop the empty quiver, pull out the new one from your backpack/bag of holding, equip the new quiver (3 move equivalent actions) 2. drop the empty quiver, equip the backup one that was hanging...

Girallon's blessing. The text states you can't use weapons and claw attacks in the same round. What about holding a shield, a staff and a greatsword? Or just a shield and 3 claw attacks? The spell lasts 10min/lvl.

Is the tiefling cleric wielding his tail in his off hand?

We have a guy in our group who *always* plays a fighter, always the same build (combat expertise, spring attack, whirlwind, shield ward). We poke fun at him being underpowered sometimes, but he never seemed to mind. Recently, one of the players came with a new warblade character, and this was...

I find your first sentence insulting and condescending, so I will comment on it, while totally ignoring the rest. I will use this mis-quote to prove my point. I totally disagree with what you just said. In fact, I use an absurd comparison which has little to do with what you are saying to...

I've played a warmage, and I recall reading something about them studying in academies. I didn't like the concept, the DM said that as far as he was concerned I could create a background that had nothing to do with academies and that was that. Tarth Moorda I've never heard of. And that is how I...
