    Gamers in LA/ santa monica, CA

    Is this game going to be played in Santa Monica, or Alhambra? The subject says SM, but you're moving to Alhambra, so I'm unsure. Anyway, if it's in SM, I'd be interested.

    Monte cook's bard

    The thing that has kept me from introducing a Monte bard to my campaign is your book. I haven't finished reading it yet (I'm waaay behind on D20 stuff), but it looks promising that I will be able to introduce a new bard character without having to go with Monte's interesting yet 'dead end' bard.

    Monte cook's bard

    The new Bard is really cool. I just hope Monte (or someone else if his new Bard is OGC) makes more spellsongs to really flesh things out.

    What you want in a module

    I would like to see a publisher go the extra step and offer NPC and unique monster stats in an electronic format that's easily importable into PCGen/DMF/RPM as part of a web enhancement.

    Sources of Experience other than combat

    I think I do a good job of balancing combat vs. story/roleplaying. I'm just looking for opinions if people think that using XP as a carrot on a stick might get the combat focused players more into the story, and the story oriented players more into the combat. I've been playing RPG's for nearly...

    Sources of Experience other than combat

    This is an interesting thread, and something I've spent some time considering for my own campaign. Awarding XP has always been a challenge for me. The main group I run consists of nine players: three fighters, two rangers, a paladin, two rogues, and a wizard who hardly ever shows up. That...

    Sneak Attack: A Little Too Powerful?

    Reapersaurus- I just haven't seen what you're talking about. IME, of the four primary core classes (Rogue, Fighter, Wizard, Cleric), the Rogue is easily the weakest in combat, and out of all the core classes, I would say only the bard and monk are weaker, with the monk being questionable. Sure...

    Homebrew vs. Premade Campaign Worlds

    I think ME has more flexibility than you give it credit for. I'm running a campaign in the Eastern parts of Middle Earth a thousand years after the war of the ring. The world is dominated by man, but there are still elves and dwarves, just not many of them. Tolkien leaves a lot to interpretation...

    Epic news

    So if it is a typo and they meant Knowledge: Religion, then that still leaves Druids out in the cold. What's up with that?

    Anyone order from Back Alley Comics?

    I ordered about $65 worth of stuff from them a couple weeks ago. I placed the order late on a Wednesday afternoon, and received my stuff with Monday's mail (I paid for priority post shipping). It came well packaged, with the books wrapped in bubble wrap and placed inside a styrofoam packed...

    Game Pricing

    I actually use a pre-existing world (Middle Earth) that I've just modified a bit to my tastes. I run a campaign in the eastern part of Middle Earth a thousand years after the War of the Ring. That way, the races, history, pantheon, etc. are all done for me, but I have enough leeway to do what I...

    Game Pricing

    IME, this is true. My group is only 9th level, but as I plan ahead it's getting harder and harder. The problem with doing high level adventures, though, is that it seems they're harder to fit into a larger campaign, and to me making that larger campaign is the best part. Interesting. I don't...

    Game Pricing

    I'm probably the target demographic for a $100 product. I bought over $400 worth of d20 stuff last month alone, and as a DM I have more money than time or patience. However, I wouldn't buy a $100 product that includes a significant number of miniatures (enough to make me think that some serious...

    Unbalanced Groups... reports please...

    My group consists of 2 rogues, 2 rangers, a paladin, two fighters, and a fighter/sorceror. They're currently 8-9 level, so there's a total of four real spellcaster levels among them (the ftr/sor). It's been interesting. They pretty much crush encounters that are many wimpier creatures, even if...

    Would you pay for cool features?

    I don't care about the listed features, but I would gladly give an annual donation if the new server will accept more than 200 concurrent users on the boards.

    The funniest encounter or moment in your campaign

    I ran my players through Crucible of Freya. They found the guard tower in the northwest of the ruined castle, and saw one orc sentry on top, but he wasn't being too active in his lookout duty. The rogue and one of the rangers decided to climb the tower to try to take out the orc silently. The...

    Your most recent purchases?

    I, too, was disappointed by Quintessential Rogue. That's not to say I didn't find it useful, just that I was hoping for more from a Mike Mearls book. I never bought TQF after reading the reviews, but picked up TQR based on the author. I liked the Traps and Guilds sections, but like every other...

    [OT] Master Tools Early 2002? Are we there yet?

    Second edition players? DMF is purely a tool for 3rd edition players. I can't imagine what use it would have for someone not using 3rd edition D&D or some other d20 game.
