Also, add the mortal worshippers of deities who can and will call on their diety for assistance. If a fiend is not careful, some cleric may decide to gate in a few devas or a few solars. Also, whether or not one uses the Blood War, the various fiends have a lot of machinations and wars among...

Yes, but the little guy survived, thanks to a few well placed bowshots. Plus some of the character's immunities really helped out. (Suffice it to say Mark almost eliminated three characters this past session, so we had a fun time and had to work hard for our well earned victories.) Nice mini...

I think that you may have to explain why you wish to leave the group, namely that your style of play differs from that of the current group. Be willing to DM, and explain that your game would not require them to leave their current game. As for some of the other issues, I think it is one thing...

I prefer a cinematic style, as I can see people getting bogged down about what is a realistic combat system. Once you throw magic into the mix, things get complicated. (To use what may be the most extreme example, was someone inhaling or exhaling when hit by a fireball? Does this impact the...

This tends to be my view as well. Most PCs should be better than the majority of NPCs. However, some NPCs will be more powerful or gifted than the PCs.

Generally, I portray human characters. However, I tend to think of a humanocentric campaign as one where humans matter. I think all character races can be given a chance to shine, but many settings seem to have humanity as the dominant humanoid species. (Perhaps we will begin seeing more of...

One thing that you have mentioned in the past, which is important, is that sometimes clergy of deities who might be strongly opposed to each other will find themselves having common cause ... such as trying to prevent someone from waking up the Titans.

Do Manuel's friends call him Manny for short, or did you mean Manual? ;) On a more serious note, Nightfall, what is some of the advice that you could give to someone planning to run a campaign in the Scarred Lands?

No problem, Shadowbane2. I hope that everything is well. This opens up another seat in the morning and the afternoon slots. Hopefully, we will see some more sign ups in the next few days.

One possible explanation is that there could be geographic barriers that allow for separate species to develop. There would have to be considerable time for the races to develop into different species. Also, some intelligent entities could have developed different races for different roles. I...

Thanks, GORAK!! I hope that we will have a few more people showing up. Buzz, we will probably have some idea towards the end of Slot 1 about our afternoon attendance. So, I will be ready, willing, and able to serve as a back up DM if I am needed.

I volunteered to be a back up DM at the planning stage. So, if this occurs, I will regretfully miss the Iron Heroes game. However, I will be ready to handle some players. Also, there is a new Chicago area D&D Meetup Group. It might be a good idea to let them know about the Gameday.

So, is there any last minute news on the Gameday. We still have some space available in different games.

Yes. My tastes in games and my gaming style has changed over time. This is perhaps part of the maturation process, as we develop new interests. I also have less time for gaming.

I mostly play D&D, but I occassionally play some other D20 and non-D20 games.

Yes, my group has a wide age range. One of the things that I like about gaming as a hobby is that you can bring together a very diverse crowd of people.

I have introduced a few new people to the game over the years.

One week to go for the Gameday!!! I hope that we will get a few more sign ups, but Milwaukee Summer Revel might be cutting into our attendance this time.

We have had some more spam attacks this afternoon, so I reported them. I would like to say first that the administrators and the moderators are doing a good job here at EN World. (I have not been around as much as I would have liked of late, but that will change.) Perhaps some of our members...

I will probably bring a few things for the prize table, as well as something for breakfast for those who will not make it to Little America.
