    D&D Risk?!?

    I am interested in some new Risk versions. The Ancient Mythology actually interests me more than the D&D Risk. Though I would not mind seing both. I've played LoTR Risk twice, and I probably won't again. It was fun but the game seems kinda jumbled. Risk 2210 though, ROCKS!!! I will play...

    Tips on playing a Barbarian for the first time

    I am currently running a Barbarian/ Cleric of Tyr who thinks he's a Paladin. He has a slight anger problem though. :)

    Fiction in Dragon magazine??

    You must have been really miffed when Dragon used to run supplements for Gamma World, Alternity, and the host of other games that TSR used to publish. First off, the fiction provides inspiration for some people in their game. People are inspired by different things. Some like the crunchy...

    What is a Barbarian?

    I view the Barbarian as more of a concept than a culture. I also have dropped the Illiteracy. He is a passioned warrior who fights till the end. He uses raw power to win a fight. He doesn't have to be savage or a brute. Just have him be an impassioned warrior.

    Major Problems For 3rd Edition

    Let's see : Basic D&D = DOS 1st Editon = Windows 3.1 2nd Edition = Windows 95 3rd Edition = Windows 98 3.5 = Windows 98SE (IMO Best Windows Op out there) God forbid that 4th ever come out. It would be heap crud if the comparison to Windows ME holds up. Then 5th Edition will spy on you and...

    what has your occupation brought to your game?

    Try a group of military aviators. All Type-A personalities, all highly opiniated and all experts on tactics. Combat takes hours, as does everything else. But, its still fun.

    Clerics and Paladins, Warrios and Priests

    I tend to disagree with most alignment restrictions for the core classes, except for the Paladin (Which probably means that he should be a prestige class). That said, the Paladin is not a "holy warrior" as much as he is a warrior who is holy, good, and comitted to order. Threrfore, he should...

    Monks and Alignment

    I thought about that, but It kills the flavor behind the concept.

    Monks and Alignment

    How can alignment balance a powerful class when outside of roleplaying, alignment has no effects on the game. My original intent behind this question was a really cool background story for a barbarian that settled down at a monastary. Because of the alignment restriction this is not possible...

    Point Buy vs. Die Rolling Ability Scores

    I choose Die Rolling. Rolling the Dice adds chance and excitement to the character creation process. The increased favor in point buy might be the by-product of society. As several people have mentioned they are random in real life, in the game they want to be heroic. Bah, Its part of the...

    WOTC article in Business Journal

    Re: Re: WOTC article in Business Journal I respectfully disagree. $30 is just about right given today's market. I am glad that the Hardcover books have not seen the price spike that normal paperbacks and hardbacks have seen on the mass market.

    Monks and Alignment

    Why does the monk have to be lawful in alignment? The argument for discipline does not make sense, as you can be chaotic and still have discipline. I can even imagine an order of monks that has no real structure. Is it an old hangover from 1st ed, or is it a flavor rule?

    Military officers and d20/other RPGs?

    I am a Air Force Captain and Pilot. I've played since High School. When I was deployed to the desert last year I brought out my D&D books and started running a campaign with fellow pilots and navigators. A year later we are still playing solidly and we have up to 10 people that play, though...

    DMs, how did you bring the party together?

    I've used employer, secret agent of evil tricking the party, the tavern, and also used, when all else fails..."You've known each other for a while." In the campaign I just finished playing in the DM used the Tavern. We didn't leave there for 6 hours of playing times, and he finally had to have...

    Non Human Genasi

    How would you handle a non-human Genasi? 1. Would you create a blend of the base race and the Genasi? 2. Use the Genasi as it stands? 3. Or apply it more as a template? Zeddan "Fear is the mind killer...Either that, or a mind flayer"

    RANT: The new Lone Ranger

    It was absolutely terrible. On so many levels. Since when do Indians know some kind of mystical "Indian" karate. That has been a disturbing trend in western themed shows lately. And the Lone Ranger looked like he was dressed with clothes from Structure. Though I like the music. Westerns...
