I suppose I can understand your views, if not agree with them. Those things just never come into play for games... it never seems less real because the NPCs don't react to some situations, I guess it is just that they never find out before the PCs take charge and take care (or try to) of it...

Have you really tried? I find it sparks my creativity. Comments like this just floor me. The current D&D game wouldn’t be the same if high level characters didn’t exist. Do you ever plan on your current characters reaching higher levels? Say you run Greyhawk for the next ten years, and in that...

The is correct, but there are Epic Characters in other campaigns, and there are people out there that want Epic Rules for their own campaigns. The FR Setting alone did not drive the creation of these rules. Elminster in his short stubby tower is not a defining characteristic. Sure he is...

Henry wrote: Indeed, they were the first setting in print to get this treatment, but the Epic Level Rules were already in development. As we saw from handouts during GenCon 2000. Also remember, Mordenakinen was listed as being 20+ in the Living Greyhawk RPGA Book. The rules were also in...

No, I played it, albeit for a short time. Wasn’t to my taste. A character at any level can build a powerbase if he roleplays well. I’m talking about game mechanics to handle the things that are truly epic. I can understand someone wanting to stop that game at a certain point. But not everyone...

You see, there is the problem inherent in your argument. Realism.This is fantasy, and the cultures of the Realms ( a fantasy setting ) were created and came into being because of fantasical reason. A perfect example were the millions of slaves that were once servants of the Djinns and Efreets of...

Haha... I was going to mention that.... All my players use your handy dandy player reference sheets! You can't beat 'em! Ren

I agree.. I totally agree. I usually make my own screens using InDesigns and print them out on contact paper. I then attach them to my old 2E Screens.... voila! I've got my own tailored screen. I will buy the FR Screen because of the Random Encounter Charts though :) Ren

What I've heard... From what I've heard the screen have tables that from the Player's Handbook that were not included in the core DM Screen, as well as some FR Specific tables. It will also include region specific random encounter tables for quick DM reference.... Hope that helps. Ren

FR See, that comment is so ridiculous. Does the Dungeons & Dragons game have to stop at 10th level? Does it even stop at 20th? No. The game was meant to reach Epic levels. To call people who enjoy that kind of play munchkins is insulting, and just plain narrow. In most Dungeons and Dragons...

My comments.... I usually find that the people who dislike it so much have never so much as given it a chance at the gaming table. They have never, as a DM, sat down and constructed a full campaign using the material that is available to them. The sheer amount of material is not a hindrance...

FR No, I don’t. I remember correctly. I have been away for a while so perhaps you don’t do so right now, but you were once very vocal (in FR threads) about your distaste for the setting. I don’t remember the good things, perhaps I missed that. But do you deny saying that anyone who picked up...

FR For someone who has listened to your tirades against the Realms it was pretty easy to figure out what you were talking about. I've heard it all before. The Chosen, and Elminsters were NPCs in Ed Greenwood's campaigns, not player characters. The Knights of Myth Drannor were/are player...

FR usual Arcady, you can’t point out the good things about Kingdoms of Kalamar without taking your time to “try” and point out things you dislike about the Forgotten Realms. Now, Kingdoms of Kalamar is great. I love the setting. I own every book they have put out to date. Why can’t simply...

Today was a great gaming day! It reminded me why I play Dungeons & Dragons. We started at Noon today and just finished up. We've been playing Return to the Temple of Elemental Evi for a couple of months now... The Company routed the Water Temple and finished off the Air Temple to boot. They...
