    Great Wheel Questions

    I ran a Planescape campaign for about six years or so (1997-2003), and we used the Great Wheel cosmology. We had a blast. Later, Atavar

    Must you have and use every book for D&D

    None of the above. I have purchased just about everything WotC 3.x (except Forgotten Realms; I've skipped most of those). So, I am sort of a completist. I also have a number of non-WotC stuff as well. However, just because I get it doesn't mean I *must* use it in my game. I use what I want...

    Epic Rogue

    You are probably thinking of the void incarnate, an epic prestige class from WotC's Epic Insights column. It also had the ability to get the fortitude and will save equivalent of improved evasion. At the following web site... http://www.wizards.com/default.asp?x=dnd/ei/20030810a ...you can...

    Family Guy Seasons Premier (it's a Star Wars parody)

    How many people here thought of jokes they could've done or should've done, but they didn't? One that I thought of would be Chris/Luke coming out of his tie-fighter after destroying the Death Star, hugging Lois/Leia and shouting "Alex!" Later, Atavar

    Family Guy Seasons Premier (it's a Star Wars parody)

    Mild Spoilers in this Post I thought it was good overall. A couple of laugh-out-loud moments for me: 1. Peter/Han telling Chris/Luke not to get "cocky" during the tie-fighter fight (what he actually said probably isn't grandma-friendly, so I won't reproduce it here). 2. The doctor from...

    So, the DM Wants His Girlfriend to Play....

    Our group has turned away a new player, once. It was mainly due to his playing style not matching the group's. I have not had a chance to get a nice, long look at my GF's playing style, but she's had a nice long look at ours. From what I have read in the play-by-post game she played in she...

    So, the DM Wants His Girlfriend to Play....

    Thanks for the great feedback everyone! Here are some answers to some questions others have posted: 1. Has she gamed before? - She's been playing computer RPGs for a long time (her current favorite is Oblivion). I introduced her to D&D 3.5 (her first tabletop RPG) around a year ago during a...

    Healer Rogues (or Roguish Healers)

    Hello Everyone, I have a new player who wants to play a rogue, but the group really needs a healer (i.e. they have no cleric or druid or bard). What classes/prestige classes/options are there in WotC books (including Eberron) that would help to create a character that can do both and do them...

    So, the DM Wants His Girlfriend to Play....

    Hey there, Well, I'm the DM, and while we've had numerous new players join our group over the years this is the first time that I, myself, have asked my group to let a new player join the group. The new player is also my girlfriend. My group has a standard procedure for letting new players in...

    The Terminator Paradox

    In my Planescape campaign an evil villain traveled back in time to create himself. It wasn't a normal creation...he took tissue samples form many beings (including the PCs) and essentially created an amalgam clone. He then went on to play a pivotal role in launching the PC's adventuring...

    Pathfinder 1E Have you played or run Paizo's Adventure Paths?

    I am currently running the SCAP hardcover for my players, set in Eberron, with Cauldron set in the jungles of Q'barra. I think we've been playing for about a year in real time (about every other week with 5-hour sessions), and they are about to wrap up Test of the Smoking Eye. The adventure...

    Tell me about your best (and worst) campaign endings

    I ended a long-running Planescape campaign with a longish, high-level (18-20) adventure that I wrote myself (I had almost exclusively used published modules before then). The main quest was to find and safely destroy the campaign's long-elusive main villain. Through a pre-destination paradox...

    4th edition PHB is IN MY HANDS! Ask me anything

    1. What is the terminal velocity of an object falling through a vacuum under a constant force of 1G, given the fact that as an object's speed approaches the speed of light its mass approaches infinity? 2. Are there bananas on the ceiling? Thanks, Atavar

    Dice Questions?

    My understanding is that a "properly" configured die is one in which two opposite sides of the die always add up to N+1, where N is the number of sides on the die. So, for a d6, opposite sides would be 6-1, 5-2, and 4-3. Even with this standard, though, even a d6 can have different...

    What is the proper pronunciation of "Grognard"?

    Hello Everyone, With the Latest Announcement(tm) comes a lot of "grognard" talk. I think I grock it's meaning, but I don't know how to pronounce it. I've been saying it phonetically, but when I do that it sounds like I am referring to the left testicle of a half-orc named Grog. So, how does...
