    Appearence and Player Shallowness

    *embarrassed* Sadly, it's only a few weeks' reprieve from the rigours of fourth year studies... my Spring semester will be much easier, but I won't know if I can commit to running another campaign until I get the course outlines on the first day. Good to see you, though, Inez. Very good...

    Appearence and Player Shallowness

    Long, Long Reply I'm not familiar with this Book of Erotic Fantasy beyond what people have been saying about it here and on "those other boards." So, I'm not up on how they treat appearance as an additional Ability Score, but here's my off-the-cuff take on it... If we assume that Appearance is...

    What type of magic does a "normal" +1 sword radiate?

    How long to determine Arcane or Divine origin? This doesn't really matter in terms of rules and OOC stuff, but how many rounds would/should it take to determine whether the magic used to create the weapon was arcane or divine in origin?

    Gnomes' niche in the D&D world

    Or an elf for all seasons... Just how many types of gnomes exist out there in sourcebook land?

    Gnomes' niche in the D&D world

    Secular Gnomes As they're presented in the PHB, the gnomes seem to be a good intermediary race between elves and dwarves -- perhaps it was the momentary preoccupation of the gnomes that the archetypal elf-dwarf grudge got its start. Gnomes seem to be easier to fit into a campaign world than...

    'Embedded Agnosticism' in a Campaign World

    Psyke, Kahuna Burger, thanks for keeping with the thread and delving deeper into the issue. I lost track of a lot of things after my own personal "hell week plus" of getting assignments done and all that jazz... I'm still reading the thread, it's just that I'm not exactly sure what to say... it...

    [OT] White Wolf's Exalted? Is this a good or bad product?

    I echo the recommendation of hitting up Exalted&Buffy.net for any and all of your Exalted questions, needs and desires. I own all the main books, save Lunars, plus other essentials like Scavenger Sons, the Book of Three Circles and even that Storyteller's Companion book. I've not yet had the...

    Conan in Wonderland (OR Sherlock of the two towers)

    Interesting idea, but does it seem like D20 would be a good avenue for it? Personally, I think you might want to look into Tri-Stat DX for a better expression of your ideas... it's a fairly wide open system that you can use to run most anything. *shrug* It's just that I don't see this Alice...

    Gamers: Unusual Uses for Non-Gaming Items

    My dice are stored in a nice, fake leather zipper pouch thing that came with my first electric razor. Other than that, I don't really use anything out of the ordinary for RPG materials... just your basic office supplies material... - Rep.

    Orcs vs Goblinoids: Who's the top Evil Race?

    Draconics Unite! Or at least partially... I was thinking of having a scenario in which there was a horrible war between two chromatic dragons. Rather than duking it out themselves, they ruled reptilian empires: red dragon with his troglodytic hordes against a black dragon with his loyal kobold...

    'Embedded Agnosticism' in a Campaign World

    Hmm... I guess you're all correct about more than a few things, and I think the problem lies not with the ruleset and my perceived need to change it, but rather the nature of the players I expect will be participants. I guess what I'm doing right now is more an expression of the precautionary...

    I was thinking about a 20 lvl Sorc...

    :confused: : Buh? Oh... Quit shillin'! :p Kidding aside, with the added ability of Sorcerers to change out their spells as they gain levels, Sorcerers seem a bit better now... I don't know much about the Blessed of Mesos PrC, but I'm sure Nightfall here can tell you as much as you want to...

    'Embedded Agnosticism' in a Campaign World

    Hey all, I've been tooling around with the idea of running a D&D campaign after my Heavy Gear campaign ends around Spring, 2004; and as a result, I've been playing with various ideas to make this campaign different from the others that I've run in the past. I've just purchased the 3.5 Core...

    Where Do Elves Get Their Metal?

    Economic Determination! Elves tend to be the most long-lived common race in most D&D worlds. Being that long-lived, their economic advantage lies not in the size of their labour force, but rather the quality of their labour. Being so long-lived, I figure that the non-adventuring elves -- or...

    Moral Dilemma - What should I do? [Long][My players please keep out]

    Slightly off topic, but I'm interested in the fact that someone is playing an Aristocrat. Are they playing the DMG Aristocrat, or some 3rd Party Incarnation, or are they simply a combination of different PHB classes with some spice thrown in there? Thanks, - Rep.

    Are you playing the type of game you want?

    :eek: Let's see... (4 hours per session) * (50 weeks of play per year) = 200 hours a year. That's way more than playing one four-hour session every week or so... I simply cannot do that with my scheduling. Work and school makes it hard enough to play once every week for about four hours...

    Girl Gamer Stereotypes...or lack thereof?

    Your assumption seems accurate, to a casual observer like myself. Wives of gamers might be wary of female gamers because it's an unknown variable in the relationship between her husband and herself. I suppose this would extend to any sort of club, or extracurricular activity. Reminds me those...

    Reviving Greyhawk: A letter-writing campaign.

    The Blue Elf, thanks for the link, I suppose I'm not as close to the mark as I once was... but is Monte still able/allowed to write stuff for WotC. I would assume so, just as a Freelancer, but I'm not entirely certain. Thanks, - Rep.

    A interesting issue with the boards

    And now, with a regular reply. Looks good... By the way, hackenslash, have you checked to see that your source for the avatar is good? Or did you upload your picture? I've got my avatar saved to my webspace, and that might be why mine's working. If it doesnt' work, send me an e-mail, I'll...
