    To anyone who has ever been in the military

    My father-in-law graduated from the Naval Academy in the early 70s and retired from the Naval Reserves as a Captain two years ago.

    Alternate XP System

    I am about to start a campaign using several of Necromancer Games' modules at the same time: Vault of Larin Karr, Tomb of Abysthor, and the Hall of the Rainbow Mage. My problem is that I am not running the PCs straight through any one of them, but rather letting them sort of bounce back and...

    Changeling was the best thing WW ever did. I'm with ya man.

    Cinematic Cut-Scenes: Anyone use them?

    I use them all the time... we came up with the idea from the computer game Tie Fighter. hehe

    Quick Little Campaign Ideas

    12. Inheritence - The PCs are followers of a powerful adventuring party who controls a small kingdom. One day, their masters don't return from a mission... who is going to run the kingdom now?

    Some Dwarf I met told me its "Assmar"... :D

    Books of dragons, undead ... What's next?

    I really like this idea! I doubt they will do it, but it would be useful.

    Unearthed Arcana = D&D Viagra!

    Isn't this what its supposed to do? We just sort of went through it and picked out what we could use, said other things would be great for when we run Forgotten Realms, Ravenloft, or whatever. I rather liked the potpourri feel to the book.

    Do *Players* like to buy magic items?

    I will, but it is expensive. If they have a +3 equiv. weapon, they have to pay dearly (as per the DMG) to have it upgraded. I agree with you though that there has to be some way to use unusual weapons without having ridiculous coincidences all the time. To me, allowing for upgrading is common sense.

    The best DM compliment I have ever received.

    That is awesome! Its hard to top that... well, maybe with candles. (ducks and runs)

    Describe your "gaming area" please

    I agree with this wholeheartedly. We used to play in the family room but I found that certain players are then almost unavoidably ten or fifteen feet apart and pretty much can't roleplay with one another. At my house, we play at the kitchen table, though this can get a little unconfortable as...

    Books of dragons, undead ... What's next?

    That isn't really accurate. The BoVD and the Book of Exalted Deeds (or the BoNVD) are much more oriented toward character and NPC creation. They are not even remotely the sort of ecological cultural book that I think others here are hoping for.

    The best DM compliment I have ever received.

    I had a player who drove from Richmond, VA to South Carolina to game with me every other week. I posted this on another thread last week with a similar topic, but I once ran a Ravenloft session and the guys were afraid to go get in their cars and drive home alone afterwards.

    ATTN Piazo: Dungeon mag and Dragon mag CD-roms & the Tasini v NY Times decision

    I heard from several sources right after the Dragon CD was released that WotC didn't see the kind of sales to justify the cost and effort of releasing Dungeon, but I would -love- to have that.

    Do YOU have "personal" dice?

    I have a black and white speckled D20 that I get out when DMing a fight with a major villain. It is notorious for rolling 17+ pretty consistently. My players call it the "cookie and cream" as lame as that is! lol

    Do *Players* like to buy magic items?

    I rarely let players buy anything more than minor protection items (Ring +1), low level potions, and low level scrolls, along with some alchemical items. They can commision the -creation- of a powerful weapon (for example) from an NPC wizard or blacksmith, but they can't just find them for sale...

    Unearthed Arcana = D&D Viagra!

    I have noticed too that the words "dungeons and dragons" appear in previous sources. Plus, all those numbers on the dice, I've seen them elsewhere too. ;)

    Setting philosophies

    I really think the word for FR should be "everything"... and I'm not trying to be funny.

    Characters defined by "their stuff"

    I agree with Hong; not with his tone, but with his opinion. When you start tweaking stuff like this, it really throws the game off balance. Now, if -balance- isn't a big deal to your players, it may be fine. Lessening the amount of magical items given to melee classes -will- overpower your...

    Books of dragons, undead ... What's next?

    Giants would be cool if they had good info. on many kinds of giants and how they differ from each other in ways other than climate. I -love- the idea of a book on Fey. I have always thought this is a strangely underdeveloped part of the game. I also think a book of Humanoids would be great if...
