Thanks, folks, you've given me a lot of options to think about. :) I'm not completely anti-dungeon (it's half the name of the game, afterall), but I don't like them to be the focus of my games. Lost City of Barakus is beginning to sound interesting, though as most of the players will be new...

Hmmm, don't know how to say it any more clearly :D : Dungeon Crawl= Not interested Meatgrinder= Not interested Granted, my definitions of these are probably a little different. RttToEE, for instance, was a huge PC killing machine, but I know that "fixing" that is pretty easy, since it's...

I'm sad to see that Mongoose is putting out almost exactly what I want...given that I hate Mongoose :D I've only seen one or two of their products, but they were horrible. That, and I've not heard much of anything about them other than "poor editing" and "overpowered." However, I did look at...

Summer is almost over again, and I will be returning to college this fall. I'm thinking of running a campaign with a few of my friends who haven't played before, but I'd like to minimize work for myself. You know, I have classes and all that, too. ;) So I'm looking for a campaign in a box. One...

From your diction and description of the higher education system, it seems you're a Brit, or maybe Canadian. If so I have nothing for you. If you're in the United States, pshaw! US medical schools require four things: 2 semesters biology 2 semesters physics 2 semesters inorganic chemistry 2...

Hey folks! I have a blog, and I just noticed the last three posts were about D&D related fun. Thought some of you might enjoy them, so here's a link: http://aspinningtop.blogspot.com/ Be forewarned, it's not all about D&D, and there is some politics and such. After the fiasco of Erik Mona's...

Well, there is quite a list of alternate players, and it's looking more and more like this campaign isn't going in a direction I had hoped for. That, and there's a lot of belligerence flying around :D So I'm bailing out of this game. Whoever's next at bat, you're up. ;)

I second everything Steve said :D Hidden Shield is kind of neat. Might be good. We need to take a poll.

Ah, Waterdeep: Too bucolic to have trolls walking the streets, cosmopolitan enough to already have secretive vigilante organizations. Hmm...so how old are we, then? I mean, we're being hired as body guards for the Lord of Waterdeep! That sounds like big name business. We must be pretty...

So we're all newly-hired midlevel management?

I like the idea that we're a newly formed group of well-respected heroes that don't know each other personally. So Steve and Hyp, since you're both the Leadership folks, how about you two sat down one day and decided to set up a do-gooders organization, combining your command infrastructures...

As cool as the comic book League of Extraordinary Gentlemen was, after that horrendous movie I can't stand hearing "The League" anymore :D Operation Human Shield? ;) I like the idea of members of the company being casually referred to as "Shields." Hmm...The Fortified Shield?

I do sort of like the silly monicker, but it does have an element of cheesiness :D Granted, something like "Fists of Peace" or "Heroes of Justice" is equally silly. Justice League, anyone? :lol:

Looks like I'll choose door number one, then. As for company names: Did we make this company at all? Who's in charge?

I actually meant to have Defensive Throw, not Strike. Fixed it. I'm an RP-focused player myself, as opposed to combat-focused. Maybe I'm in the wrong group for that sort of thing (Hope not), but I'm going to write my vote down for "develop it as we go." That way we get more character...

I went ahead and took Great Cleave. That, plus Sweeping Strike, means I will be a goblin horde killing machine ;) Almost makes me want to have a reach weapon....or I could just become large through Expansion. :D Yeah, I'm psyched. I also decided to ditch my full plate in favor of going the...

Hey Matt, quick pseudo-metagame question for yah. Do you think we'll more typically be fighting lots of baddies at once, or individuals/small groups? Or is it a bit of both? I ask because if it's individuals, Great Cleave is absolutely useless. If it's big groups, then it's actually useful (And...

Jerry Human Fighter 2/Psychic Warrior 2/Monk of the Denying Stance 2/War Mind 7 Jerry is a gentle giant. Though he stands nearly seven feet tall and has biceps each the size of a halfling, he has a strong sense of what is right and wrong. As a young boy, he wasn’t a bully, but rather one of...

Yo. Just spent the whole day driving from Indianapolis to Pittsburgh, where FlyingCupcake lives. We're going to make our characters tomorrow and they -will- be up by tomorrow evening. Promise ;) In case anyone cares, FlyingCupcake will be a elderly female human Dervish, and I will be a...

Don't worry, Hyp. I'm going to play a meat shield with pecs the size of TVs, and FlyingCupcake is probably going to go with a Dervish. ;) But now, what -kind- of meat shield, yes indeed. So, if it's 3.5, it's good? What about Unearthed Arcana? Frenzied Beserker, while hilarious, doesn't seem...
