I pretty much stink! Well, I'm not actually all that bad (I don't think), but I'm going to put myself in the "stinky" category for now since I'm going to be DM'ing a game for about the first time in about 15 years except for a "one-off" a few years ago. As a result, I'm horribly out of...

I've played every core class at one time or another, and I like all of them in their own way. Having said that, I almost never get a chance to play a rogue since someone else is always wanting to play them. I've played single class "whatever" for just about class, but I do tend to like...

I was just curious about sundering and the Improved Sunder feat. Does anyone else think this combat technique and the possiblity of taking the Improved Sunder feat is underrated? I tend to think that it is. It seems that in my own experience, it is a combat option that is rarely used by...

Love the Spiked Chain I've used the Spiked Chain for a couple of different characters including one build that was for a wizard who had a couple of fighter levels early on. He wasn't the most powerful spell caster in certain respects, but it sure surprised the crap out of NPC's who were not...

Forgotten Realms isn't that bad - it is what you make of it I couldn't agree with this statement more. While I can understand people not wanting to have a campaign in a world that is so incredibly detailed with supplement upon supplement, the Realms aren't that bad. I personally prefer a good...

I sure hope not!! Having played this wonderful game for the past 25 years, I do believe that 3.5 is the best edition that I have seen yet, and while not perfect, I have no wish for a 4th edition. Nor, have I heard anything from WoTC that would portend for a 4th Ed. Methos

Geez, if this is true, there are some very sad people out there. It is just a game people! Variation is great for our overall hobby, IMHO. The more possibilities and variation that exist in our great hobby, the more likely it is that there will be more people interested in the hobby, and thus...

More Optimism in d20 CoC I love d20 CoC, actually far more than standard CoC, simply because the characters have a chance!! I can guarantee that with the group I used to game with (sadly, we've all moved away, but hoping to go online with them now), that the GM would have been probably doomed...

Thank you Gary As someone who is still playing "hex and counter" wargames in addition to D&D (for 25 years now), block wargames, Eurogames, chess, just about everything (with the exception of computer games), I have a profound respect for the contributions of Mr. Simonsen to the gaming hobby...

When are you going live with a free demo from pre-reg? I have too many questions. I posted a similar thread about Ghostorb last week, and had a number of responses. Fundamentally, over the past year most of our long-time gaming group has moved away from each other. One of the things that...

Not to sound like an old fogey, but............... I mentioned to my wife the other day, that I've been playing D&D for over 25 years.................most of the rest of the group since the mid-80's, so we've seen pretty much everything since the old "Red Box Basic Game". I still have my PHB...

As I get ready to start preparing a new campaign from the ground up with all of the standard world - building things that a good DM does, naturally, one of the things that I need to consider is what races, classes, prestige classes (if any), feats, skills, etc., I will be allowing in the...

March 2005 Issue - I found it relevant I have to admit, that while I don't find Dragon always relevant in every single article, feature, etc., I do generally find something of value in each issue. In addition, I occassionally find a real gem, IMO. In the March issue, the feature on Pazazu was...

fantasygrounds.com Hi MSD, Do you have a gaming group that actively is using the software from fantasygrounds? It looks pretty slick overall. Can you give me an idea as to how efficient your games are? Also, do you have a live voice chat going at the same time? If so, how did you put that...

Ghostorb.com – What do people think of this for a far-flung gaming group? Hi folks, I haven’t posted here for awhile, and my long-time gaming group broke off about a year and a half ago, and to tell you the truth I haven’t regularly been part of a group since then. The reason why it broke off...

I'll be there for the 4th year Hi folks, I don't get a huge opportunity to play RPG's these days since I've got 2 little ones running around the place, but I may try to get in a game of D&D 3.5 some time during the weekend. Since I live in Pleasanton (only 10 minutes away) it makes it easy...

Yeah, I'd like to take a shot at it myself to see exactly what it is and isn't capable of, and hopefully to provide some input to both groups of people that are discussing the class. Since I'm not really much of a power gamer, but get more interested in the style of the campaign, and pursuing...

Ok. I have some personal experience from my existing campaign, and I think if you read the “Mystic Theurge” thread you will also see some more generic comments about mixing spellcasting classes. First off, let me say, that I personally think that it depends on the style of the campaign and...
