Agreed. D&D certainly has had an enourmous influence on video gaming. However ... This is where no matter what the game type, even a D&D brand video game, it is wierd and different. In a video game whether it be Madden 2004 or Planescape Torment, you are controlling the character, not...

Except when they're right. Take a step back for a moment and realize that this wonderful hobby of ours is unlike anything else (see my above posts). It is different, strange, and odd for an adult hobby - it's only been around for 30 years, and most of the activities people are comparing it to...

God you are such a geek. Correct of course, but a geek. Now, I feel ashamed - I can't believe I let that one get through the cracks. Thanks for digging up my old post!

PRECISELY! :cool:

If only I was a community supporter, I could search my previous posts for my excellent previous reply on a similar topic... :( Alas, I'm a cheap SOB so I will summarize: No, it's not like playing poker, or softball, or even chess. We are adults and we go into a basement and speak in strange...

I have a great relationship with my players. They are great role-players and they are also highly skilled roll-players. I think we have a rare balance of the two that keeps everyone happy. But, even if they want to take a class for good in-game story and character reasons, they will use the...

Yeah, I didn't want to wade through 100 pages of posts about broken prestige classes. WotC provides plenty! If I find one from a d20 publisher that I like, I give it a good look through, and if a player introduces me to one, I give it a meticulous look through! But, many of the players are...

I've already made up my mind about the MT, so lets not let this thread turn into that thread (one that has been done a dozen times already). I am going to steer clear of that one. Keep them coming!

Good stuff so far - keep 'em coming! A few players have expressed interest in a couple of the ones mentioned. Maybe you could give me a little more analysis on these: Radiant Servent of Pelor - from Complete Divine. Archmage.

I'm launching a new campaign soon, and I'd like to avoid having PCs choose a prestige class that I only figure out is horribly unbalanced months after they take it. So please, if you know of a poorly balanced prestige class, list it here with a as brief as possible blurb why it is bad! Then I...

Well, a common statement in the party is "He's in the bag [of holding]". It has an air cauldron in it... I was just looking for something a bit better. I must say I'm surprised at how many people have the DM or other players run their PCs. I always thought that was more of a 1E thing and no...

I said hold the cheese! :p As for the have someone else run him - a good idea, but, that just doesn't fly in our gaming group...never has. And if I ran him or brought him along, it would wind up like the Gamers movie where he is just sitting in the background doing nothing, or acting...

So let's say you have a party of six, and you game a few times a month with a fairly consistent continuous storyline. But if your six players, typically only five can make any given session, and who happens to be the one that can't changes almost every time. In general, you can still have a...

Excellent! But what is the easiest way in excell to sort by one or multiple columns?

Too many players has become THE premier problem in my gaming pool. We've run three campaigns in the past 11 years with overlap of various people playing in 1, 2, or all 3 of them. Now, those campaigns are primarily done, and we want to start a fourth. But, now, schedules and such have...

My characters ended their campaign a couple weeks back at 23rd level or so. On that road, I hunted for every high level module I could find. Yes, the best thing to do is create your own adventures - but at that high level, making something that has any level of detail takes so much time, you...

Sorry PCat. I'm new to posting here and find the strange and fickle nuances to what is acceptable and what isn't confusing to my juvenile brain. Twas a simple jest, nothing more. I'm in a fog still baffled by the fact that there are 19 female DM's in this world and you know them all...

Where do you people find these female geeks? I've been gaming for 15 years, still have a campaign that is coming up on 12 years, just finished another after 7 years and epic levels, and amongst the entire gaming pool (20+ people) in my campaigns and others over the entire timespan there is one...

I figured that may be a barrier, but once upon a time I stumbled on this awesome list tool on the WotC official site. It had sortable lists for monsters, spells, and feats from the core books as well as Dragon, the splatbooks, and the website only stuff. Unfortunately, I do not think that tool...

I've got the MM, the MM2, Fiend Folio, the Epic Level Handbook, the Manual of the Planes, the Monsters of Faerun, and a stack of Dragon magazines among other Wizard's sources. Is there any source to go to where I can view all the monsters in one compiled list, or better yet sort the monsters by...
