Great idea. I was wondering if someday a Game Day for Dallas would come to fruition. I hope I'm not busy then. Hopefully someone will run something a little different from the traditional sword-and-sorcery, FR sort of game.

A lot of the more humorous stories here remind me of Al Bruno III's RPG rants. Anybody seen his webpage?

Sounds reasonable to me. That is probably along the same lines once our current 3.0 game ends (we won't convert anything too much until the campaign is through- too many irritating discrepancies). One thing to worry about is the 3.5e monk's ki strikes and DR- magic, adamantine, ect; how will...

Why isn't the flumph on the list to be upgraded? Shouldn't the greatest of the losers perservere to 3.5E :)? Edit: About Scry, spells that would require a Scry check now allow Will saves on the part of those being scried on to avoid it, thus negating the need to have an independent Scry...

On the subject of classes, if you wanted to keep the list down to a few basic ones, an option might be to make specific feat chains to represent various different character abilities within the same general area of expertise, such as Sabin's Blitzes or Cyan's SwordTechs. I also think the...

In the newest issue of the Stygian on the Realms of Evil Website had an Excremental in it.

145. Book of Vile Dorkness- something no D&D gamer should be without 146. Doggie Bag of Holding- for those times when you're really on the run 147. Censor of Controlling Air Waves- So you can say no to all those naughty wizards trasmitting smut all throughout the multiverse 148. Ring of...

What would be an interesting twist is that the creatures/organizations/cultures (like elves, dragons, Vampires, etc.) depicted in RPGs existed in real life and deliberately made these games so that if anybody discovered their existence they would mocked as lunatics and be discredited. The...

As far as free cities, didn't somebody a while ago make a whole setting based around one giant metropolis? URBIS or some such like that?

Have you checked out the Appretince rules in the DMG? You might be able to mofify them to get 0th level characters.

That's quite a picture you have there. Good luck with your campaign! Edit: Forgot to say you're welcome :).

Religoustolerance.org has some material defending RPGs, it also has some links and references for additional sources of info. http://www.religioustolerance.org/d_a_d2.htm

You should be proud then; that's not the only version there is of the shadow demon. It also made it into the Tome of Horrors and Ravenloft's Denizens of Darkness.

For some ideas, look at some good B-Movies. -All the machines come to life and start attacking people. -Giant murderous tomatoes attack from the food court. etc. --Scooby Doo- there's a weird creature of some sort wreaking havoc and scaring everybody away for unknown reasons. It has to be...

Pretty much what Mark Chance said, but we have had one psionic character in the group.

IF you wanted to go to an evolutionarily-regressed, caveman version of a humanoid there is always the Feral Template from Savage Species that is +1 LA.

Well, in Terry Pratchett's Discworld, the stone trolls think time flows backwards because you can always see what is ahead of you but never behind you. And his dwarves are extremely literal-minded, they get confused when other races use similes, metaphors, jokes or the like. The dwarves still...

I think the WotC threw the biggest monkeywrench in the conversion process by not putting some basic core monsters (mind flayers, beholders, etc.) in the SRD. Because of this, people can't use the monsters in the conversions of modules, and any of the many modules which include them are thus...

I guess the first thing to know about ancient Chinese empire would be to know about its religions, which were directly tied to the empire and the Chinese way of life. I recommend reading the Confucius' Analects and Lao Tzu' Tao Te Ching. I reccomend DC Lau's translations (in the Penguin...

So when is the ever-enigmatic d30 going to show up?
