    I know it was a joke but...(complete riding dog)

    Gotta say it looks good. How do we petition WOTC to make one? John p.s.-I would also like to see if I could petition for hypersmurf, raven crowking, and argent to help with the writing

    I know it was a joke but...(complete riding dog)

    I think that this could be great. I would suggest variants on homunculi, and golems. (winged magical constructs, arming your pet golems, etc.) Permanent animal enhancement Training and tricks Use of animals Draft and food animals Specialized species (giant lizards used underground like...

    I know it was a joke but...(complete riding dog)

    Would anyone else like to see a book similar to the description of "complete riding dog" I can think of a lot of players who would like enhanced familiars, rules on pets, different types of familiars and mounts, etc. With how important animals were in medieval times, and in fantasy in general...

    DM's: would you rather get stuff or 'involvement' from players

    not saying I wouldn't mind stuff, but I really don't like being treated like crap. Turns out I want to be treated well more than I want stuff. It was tough thought. John

    Lost Monsters

    I think that the brawny monster actually became the hook horror, kinda like how the fall from the cieling monster became the ethereal marauder. John

    I cheated last game session

    I would make a point that you cannot make decisions if something your character would know, but you do not. For example, your character being a ranger would probably know about how fas cerain types of animals can move, and yet the rat moved 90' (that lil guy must have been smoking). For...

    Help me populate a 400-person village.

    Tarsus- young minotaur- this young minotaur is the only one of his kind in the village. While he is completely interested in arcane magic and wishes to be a sorcerer. Unfortunately, it seems tarsus is the only skilled in the arts of battle. Tarsus seems to be fully inclined to be a barbarian...

    D&D mentioned in Australian paper

    Just so you know, the vatican statement I heard was a fake, because The man does not exist and exorcist are supposed to keep their job secret. The only thing I have heard the Catholic Church say about Harry potter is that it is too humanistic, and teaches a "what's in it for me" morality...

    Should the game be PC's vs. DM

    Wow, One of the best threads I have ever provoked. Basically, after reading the "is this fair" polls, it seemed that many people were seeming to fall into the groups of adversarial DM or hand holding DM. I knew things couldn't be that simple, so I thought I would just come on out and ask the...

    Should the game be PC's vs. DM

    Should the game be played as player's vs. DM. I mean, should the DM try to kill the pc's at most turns, or even try to make things as deadly as possible, or should it be a cooperative game. Should the DM be basically a storyteller, leading the PC's along a story so that whatever will break the...

    Is this "Fair" - Part III

    I just want to point out that killing off the party is not bad in itself. One of my first tries at DMing, I seriously warned my players outside of the game that they needed to watch themselves, that they needed to be careful because there would be things that could kill them, and I had no...

    Is this "Fair" - Part III

    I think the problem that makes this unfair is it seems the DM was trying to lure them into the site. By not having any hint of danger on the map, not having anyone hear anything about it, and not allowing their knowledge (which for common knowledge, like the worlds deadliest dungeon, or that...

    Help me freak out my players!

    If you really want to freak them out, take a note from eternal darkness sanities requiem, When something starts messing with you in real life, it is so much more scary than having it randomly happen. Logout for a second, even in real life, just shut down, and then after a second "wake up"...

    Have you ever found employment while in a bar?

    you gotta look at it as hiring mercenaries or hitmen, not as like, lawyers or doctors, although both I would think could have jobs offered, especially after a barfight.

    Why do Dwarves drink Whiskey or Ale?

    Just a thought, But back when most drawings of dwarves had psuedo viking horns then probably some of the drinking came from the idea of the vikings. A second thought could be that since dwarf culture seems to be based on germanic culture, the colorful clothing, long beards, and smithing...

    how to convince people that D&D is not evil

    faraer, I see there is another adherent of "on fairy stories" out there, I agree with you and with tolkien on that aspect, that an imagination full of well imagination, creativity, and questions is one of the most vital things needed in the world, and is a source of praise to the origin of...
