    What is wrong with race class limits?

    First: In my AD&D1 campaigns, I never had a problem with race/class restrictions or race/class level limits. I accepted the rules as they were and never thought about how they affected game balance. The issue just rarely came up. Only a couple (that I can remember off hand) PCs ever rose above...

    Fantastic four / silver surfer trailer

    Johnny was not on screen as SS surfed down the building blowing out the windows. And it looked to me that the cars were flipping over in SS's wake (unless Johnny pushes a wake ahead of him). Plus, Johnny didn't cause any such damage with his flight in the previous movie. Hey, I'm plenty...

    Fantastic four / silver surfer trailer

    It's the Power Cosmic. I have several dozen SS comics, and coincidentally, reread a couple dozen of them just recently. I don't recall any passing through matter, or even his board, and I didn't see anything like it in the reread. I'm a fan of the SS, and I think I'm pretty well versed on his...

    Fantastic four / silver surfer trailer

    I liked the first FF movie. (I also liked the Hulk movie.) I want to like this next FF movie, with the the Surfer. But. . . What was the deal with him flying through buildings and busses? And passing through his board? I don't remember anything like that from the comics. And he passes through...

    When Adventure Designers Cheat

    For the record, I'm not suggesting that this "designer cheating" or laziness is only found in previous editions. It's just that I have much more knowledge of the classic adventure than I do of current adventures. My current adventure knowledge is limited to just the first D&D3 adventure path...

    When Adventure Designers Cheat

    I'm a DM, thank you very much. A DM who dislikes designers who rule out or overrule options and abilities because they can't (or refuse to) design an good adventure/encounter. Quasqueton

    When Adventure Designers Cheat

    Actually, it sounds like a direct conversion of WG4, adhering completely with the original design and feel (the text as written). Quasqueton

    When Adventure Designers Cheat

    Nothing creative about saying, “fly, levitate, jump, dimension door, blink and teleport spells will not work in this room.” Or the slippery stuff on the floor, “cannot be affected by any force, magical or otherwise.” Or the copper plates forming the trap, “cannot be damaged or removed.” Or the...

    When Adventure Designers Cheat

    White Plume Mountain is the poster child for this kind of thing. Nearly every single encounter in that module had such a designer “cheat”. Tomb of Horrors is another such offender. Designers should make challenges that force the PCs to use their resources, or challenges that allow them to use...

    How many people have you played D&D with?

    Interesting. According to the poll results so far, you've either played with between 20 and 60 other players, or you have played with over 100. What's the "hump" one must get over to zoom from ~50 to 101+? Quasqueton

    How many people have you played D&D with? (Please read post before voting.) Parameters of this poll: 1. Only count people you have played D&D [any edition] with. (Not any RPG, not D&D clones – just *D&D*.) 2. Only count people you have played at least one real/full D&D game session with...

    AD&D1 Treasure Types

    Note the “NO. APPEARING” in the posted data, straight from the Monster Manual. Rolling 30d10 for the number appearing (orcs) kind of keeps the variance very small. You aren’t likely to get 30 or 300. It is very likely to stay around 165. No. Quasqueton

    AD&D1 Treasure Types

    I never actually used the official treasure type tables in the AD&D1 Monster Manual. I always just placed treasure as I judged appropriate. Compared to the treasure given in official, published AD&D1 modules, I was stingy. Judging from the treasure given in official, published AD&D1 modules, I...

    Treasure and leveling comparisons: AD&D1, B/ED&D, and D&D3 - updated 11-17-08 (Q1)

    Someone was wondering if I was using AD&D1 giant stats for the D&D3 encounters. For them to wonder this, they must think I’m actually running the adventure, and that I might be using AD&D1 stats for the D&D3 version of the run. How is that thought not born of terrible confusion of what is...
