    Robin Hood Season II. Ep1: Sisterhood

    The gangs all back Camper, cornier, cheesier and more evil than ever (well the evil characters anyway). Good episode. The Baddies seem to have learned somewhat and showed new competence, and a big long term plot. Good one-liners, except the snake joke which was awful Ep2 looks jolly two so...

    How do you prefer to earn/award XPs?

    being an avid dragonquest player i like to give xp as an hourly rate If u r doing an adventure equivalent to your power level u earn X xp per hour. This way a 4 hour killing spree earns as much as a 4 hour chat-interaction session, assuming both push the 'story' along as much. This way you can...

    70% is the Sweet, ain't it?

    I dont wanna hit with a 7 rolled on a d20 at 1st level, unless the party has used immensely clever tactics. At least make me be wishing for a 13 I dont mind my spell having a 70% chance to work at 1st level and sleep, fear, charm et al my opponent, afterall i can probably only do that once or...

    When is D&D not D&D?

    To me D&D is, in a rambling sort of way Its sword and sorcery with fine lines dividing the roles in a party. Its a 'thief' checking for traps, and a cleric healing him when it goes wrong There are classes. There are levels. People trudging through a dungeon having fairly non-dynamic slugging...

    Is the Doctor's name really Doctor Who?

    read where Patrick Stewart would like to be in the series actually a return to an 'older' doctor may give it a new slant even

    Chris Thomasson playtest (Sep-26)

    i think ranger should be archery based. Its outdoorsy stuff at range, not in your face fightery melee. Most 3rd ed archers ive seen are ranger based. I know fighters make good archers but they dont have the skills in spot, listen, track to find their enemies at range. John

    Dragon fight

    ...build whole bits of village from a nice big corpse. Idea for a plot for 1st level adventure. Big mighty adevntureres battle a dragon over a number of days and finally slay the great brute at the edge of civilisation, near a tiny and sleepy fishing village. Like good adventurers they leave...

    Just played my first PC with Power Attack: APAATT is fun!

    we have two dwarf barbarians in our LG game at 4th level. They do this all the time. It is unbelievabley frustrating to watch them roll a 13-15 and miss......especially as they will eventually roll an 19 and do so much damage they kill the monster to way past its hitpoints. They (the...

    What do you think of dying at level 1?

    Three party members only, 2 of which are choatic and 1 is evil. This is not an adventuring party. It is certainly not campaign material (CG is probably more of a fanatic anti-evil zealot than LG) I wouldnt be keen to play in such a thing. Im not surprised it didnt work. That aside In 1st...
