Okay, here we go. Attention! I'm looking for four players for a DnD game, to be held at the Game Parlor in Chantilly, VA. We'll be playing in the evening, either every other saturday or every other sunday, starting mid-January. We'll be playing an adventure I'm writing for publication...

Wow. Took you guys long enough. You got yourselves a sale anyways...

Here's a houserule to help with that. Damage for lethal and nonlethal weapons are not counted separately. They both do hit point damage. Nonlethal weapons are different ONLY when the attack takes the enemy below 0 hp. If they are knocked below 0 hp by a nonlethal attack, then the creature is...

Those two are Gygaxian monstrosities.

Generally speaking, a civilized nation won't have more than 1% of its population as professional soldiers. A nation with a strong "citizen soldier" tradition can muster 20% or so of its population as a semi-professional militia. Peasant levies can take as much as 30% of the population, but if...

Here's the difference... Violence is a "naughty" activity that is culturally acceptable to partake of in groups (war, law enforcement, etc) but not culturally acceptable to partake of in one-on-one (muggings, rape, torture, etc). Sex is a "naughty" activity that is not culturally acceptable to...

You left out Oathbound. That's got my vote.

Here's another way to deal with monsters being sent as scouts... Take their character sheets (just for a bit) and hand out "character sheets" with the elementals on them. Create slight differences so that the players will have a little individuality to them. Now have them explore the dungeon...

Quasqueton, given that the rules explicitly state that the answer is "yes" to all of these... what kind of answers did you expect?

I look forward to saying the following during my next campaign:

Every time I see you post, Claudio, my envy rises another notch. Sooner or later, I'm going to make some kind of vague death threat that I never actually carry out, further confirming my loserhood.

No, go for it! I say, have them play the whole thing out for themselves!

I haven't gotten this email.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't the effect of low ceilings and enclosed spaces on areas of effect... nil?

"I don't understand it, so I don't like it." "I don't understand it, so I don't like it."

Primetime Adventures My vote goes to an obscure little indie title, "Primetime Adventures". http://www.dog-eared-designs.com/ It has a stunningly elegant form-follows-function design.

I don't understand why they didn't include anything in the rules that make it special. These fast-play rules don't say "romantic fantasy" to me... they just seem like "D20 lite".
