Personally, I play the old standby classes almost exclusively, with stops in the new bard class. And I am almost always human. My group tends to allow alternate classes and monster races (like the current Githzerai monk), and that slightly gets me irked; however, the new options do allow more of...

My roommates seem to have dice fetishes. All of the adults have their own dice (I even keep mnine in a purple Crown Royal bag to feed my "Old-School desires :) ). THe kids, as a rule, don't have any- not that it matters, because every week, it seems, my roommates buy another couple of sets of...

11... although not all at the same time. Occasionally 5 DM's and 2 in training 1 female, the rest are male. Not yet... I am going through the process of opening one now. Almost always homebrew... although we are currently going through a DM updated Temple of Elemental Evil, and next week...

My very first con was one run by my gaming group just south of Washington DC back in the early 80's. What made it special to me, besides being my first experience, was that I helped to organize and worked it... I didn't get to do any games or anything that entire weekend. My first "big" con was...

Our group runs with the following ages: 10, 12, 12, 12, 17, 25, 26, 26, 30 ,34, 40. Normally, we don't have everyone playing at the same time, sue to work and school schedules; however, these are the members that consistantly play. To make matters even stranger, we also have in our group: 3...

In the last 2 campaigns my group has done, I have run bards.. actually, this one is a bard/Rogue. What I like best about the bards (well, two tings) is the ability to be everything (almost) at once, which gives them a higher survivability rate than most, and the fact that with a Bard, it is...

The party is accused of (theft/murder/arson/heracy/etc) and is required to clear their name by finding out what's going on while being on the run from the local (constabulatory/priesthood/thieves guild/noble/etc). They are required to live in the underground, or justr avoid the underground, and...

With our Home Brew, we started with the idea of doing a very-low magic world... and started with the history as to why it was that way. Then we did some revision of the magic system using spell points, and giving the mages a chance to use spells above their level (with the chance of very bad...

You said they were traveling by boat... and that the world was at war... How about having the boat capsize, and the characters washing ashore right in the middle of an orc camp? They have no gear, and they are now prisoners... and they only have 2 days until they arrive at the main orc...

Actually, thinking about it, Demonweb would be REALLY cool. Add my vote for it as well.

The stupidest thing *I* ever personally did (besides the paladin trying to jump a halfling after a monster and skewering the halfling), was with my very first character ever. I had a human magic user (obviously 1 ed) and when we encountered a group of orcs, I took my ONE tiny little magic...

My exact reaction when I first saw it in the store. Back in the original Greyhawk Campaign, towards the end of 1 ed, TSR was taking many of their "series" modules and putting them into softcover books. About this time, they started selling what they referred to as a 100 level dungeon (also in...

We did an all elven ranger party as a one-off thing, just to ssee what happened... wasn't too impressed.

I was playing a Paladin (1 ed. rules in the late 70's) and happened to be healiing the party rogue (and, of course, attempting to get him to see the error of his ways). We were beset by a party of orcs as a random encounter. I immediately attempted to jump over the halfling fighter to get to...

My group and I (between the 2 "old school" DM's) hqave pretty well attempted to update all of the old modules, as we have an average of 6-10 3.5 only players in our group on any given day. The both of us like seeing them go nutz with some of the old thoughts. The one I would like to see...

Once we realize that the session is going to tank, we usually stop where we're at and take a break. Some of the players will go outside and have a smoke, others will go to the local convenience store, others will hang out and shoot the breeze. Whatever it is, we stop where we are and talk about...

With our home-brew, we are designing the world around the history of the "real" world, complete with ancient Romans, and Turks, various barbarian races, and the Celts... American Indians, Vietnamese, and even a few pygmies make their appearances in various parts of the world.

This one took place as we were playing Recon (modern, small-unit tactics) one night: The characters were cruising through a rice paddy and had machine gun open up on them from the villiage. The officer of the group ran into the villiage (through the gunfire with NO fudged rolls on my part)...

Most of the characters I've lost were to Loki screwing with my dice. There have only been a few times that I had a character die to something other than the hosing of the dice: 1) My very first character was a magic user (1 ed). Within the first 15 minutes, I took my chincy little magic missile...

How about the half-orc barbarian that tossed the halfling thief onto the back of a young dragon so the thief could get his back stab bonus?
