    DR/Magic - would you change it to this?

    Ummm because I like complicated systems? :o Yeah that's what I meant (now)! Each +1 negates 5 points of DR. Thanks! Well only if they want to have the ability to easily overcome high DR/magic creatures. I equally don't like the fact that now a +1 longsword is just as good against the DR...

    Do you find the CR/EL system useful when writing adventures?

    I find the CR/EL system to be extremely useful for me. While it is not 100% accurate it does beat the random guessing I used to do in previous editions. Funny this should come up as just yesterday I had my PCs face an encounter in my Age of Worms game that I thought would be a moderately easy...

    DR/Magic - would you change it to this?

    Currently Damage Reduction/Magic requires only +1 or better weapon to overcome regardless of the amount of DR (ie 5-20). I am thinking of making the following changes to it DR 5/magic = DR 5/+1 or better weapon to hit DR 10/magic = DR 10/+2 or better weapon to hit DR 15/magic = DR15/+3 or...

    College Woes

    For your gaming group woes I would suggest looking for a Games Club on campus. I found one in my university days and it really helped make a lot of friends quickly (many of whom I still game with 15 years laters!). I can guarentee there are going to be D&D players at your college so if there...

    Automatic literacy for PCs

    I can't imagine ever buring a feat just to be literate. Feats are rarer than skill points in core D&D and it would feel like a complete waste. I use the core rules for literacy (all classes literate except barbarian) and Speak Language is a class skill for everyone.

    MM IV Q and A

    Reading through it here I can't find anything in the Wrackspawn's entry that would qualify as such.

    MM IV Q and A

    Well I've had my copy for a couple of days now and here are some of my impressions; Art Grade: A+ Some of the best artwork WotC has produced in contained in this book. I am simply blown away at the jump in quality over previous MMs. There are maybe 5 pieces of art I don't care for in this...

    So, how are the War of the Dragon Queen minis?

    Really? All the reports I have seen (not a lot compared to a guy in your position I admit) indicate that no one has gotten a huge rare out of a box with the Blackguard/Nightmare art. It is a disaster for this set if this is truly the case as many retailers are going to be stuck with Nightmare...

    Yarr! Reccomend me some pirate-y books

    WHile it is non-fiction Under the Black Flag is one of my favourite books about pirates. It has an easy to read prose to it and digs deep into the myth and mystique of the pirate.

    When PCs activate their Self Destruct sequence

    Would you really do some of the childish and immature things Quasqueton is describing though? I doubt it. I understand the point you are making though but taking an entire campaign with you on your way out is a very dickish thing to do. Fortunately I have never had this happen. There have...

    Your Favorite RPG Supplement, for any Game, Period

    Draconomicron (3E) - book that rekindled my love of dragons - and ensured they are a major part of my campaign now! Realm of Chaos: Slaves to Darkness - a huge rambling mess fo a book with rules stuffed whereever they would fit the typeset but I still love paging through this for the artwork...

    Is the original Tomb of Horrors a well-designed adventure module?

    ...by changing and making up rules to defeat them. Yeah I think I got that when I was trying to understand the byzantine manner 'saves' were handled for pits.

    MM4 Table of Contents up

    I think there is a joke in here somewhere. Can't seem to find it though.....

    MM4 Table of Contents up

    Truth. As posted by the Colonel. You always manage to say what I'm thinking is such a much more polite manner. Bye Razz.

    MM4 Table of Contents up

    I'm pretty interested in this book. It is a departure from the traditional model of the Monster Manuals to date and that is sure to rankle people in their comfort zones. But honestly if it was just 200 "new & unique" monsters I probably would have ignore this book. With the extras they are...

    How to store a big collection of DDMs?

    I too have close to 2000 WotC miniatures and I use about 20 "800" count white card boxes. They are what I used to keep my Magic cards in. I have them sorted by creature type (with PC figures sorted by class I RPG almost exclusively) and they currently fill about half of the space beneath my...

    Is the original Tomb of Horrors a well-designed adventure module?

    Oh yeah. It is so ON!!! Really did you expect anything else when you posted this here? :confused:

    I have a complaint (FC 1)

    That does seem dumb. Even a line of text at the beginning of the book stating that all stat blocks have a X point power attack would have sufficed. Personally I'd rather they didn't bother adding any PA bonuses - I think any Dm, even one brand new to the game, can figure out something as...

    THe RPG book you've waited for is going to be a PDF only release, do you buy?

    Probably not. I usually buy small under 30 page pdfs and print them out to read them. I can't read dense small text off of a computer screen for very long.
