I typically follow the advice of the Red Wizards of Thay when dealing with magical purchases. No dangerous/destructive items are for sale. This means that players can not purchase wands of fireball, lightning bolt, and so forth. I do allow the purchase of minor (+1 with no additional...

Actually this particular mini game does not compare to the original live action version as depicted in History of the World Part 1. "Knight take queen. Bishop take queen." ;)

If only someone had warned me 20 years ago :(

My game group actually did this once in the D&D team event at Gen Con. For some reason we didn't get to move on to the third round after this :( Of course we might never have tried it if the DM hadn't showed 1 1/2 hours late :]

Wow, that is BFE Ohio, although the RenFest is kinda fun. Working in medicine, I am not that informed about IT jobs. I do know that the local hospital networks (Kettering Med Center, Miami Valley, & the VA) have IT departments. Wright Pat AFB downsized their subcontracters this past Dec...

Dayto, Ohio. Home of the .... Actually backwater midsized city that makes Cleveland look like a paradise :(

The price would have to be a second installment of the work. Although, my group is always on the scout for quality DMs :)

Amen, my brother. D&D is a wonderful educational aid when used correctly, not just a means for destroying Christian values through the promotion of paganism and demon worship :)

Personally, I loved the the idea as presented in WoT. Yes, it has problems, but nothing is perfect. My problem with class defense rating is that I prefer lower AC PCs when I DM. This keeps me from having to rationalize constant #s of High CR encounters in order to actually touch the party. The...

This reminds me of when D&D used to advertise in DC comics all the time. The Legion of Superheroes almost always included panels of Sunboy playing holographic D&D and calling it D&D. This all ended when Marvel threatened to pull liscensing from TSR for supporting the competition. :( I know, I...

I think that your idea could work, but not with my players. Every time I have considered limiting magic, it has met serious opposition from the players. A big concern would be favored class, I think. At a glance this does not seem apparent, but you are strongly encouraging MC characters. I...

Just don't get too happy with the royalties when WOTC tries to steel the idea too :) Of course I have already snapped up the thread with Adobe web capture to enable an easier use by myself. :) If you ever need it for that pending lawsuit, I might even sell it back to ya. :)

I handle those pesky AoE spells with precut cardboard templates. Hey I have to do something with all the boxes from Amazon :) This totally cuts back on the square counting and demonstrates how big that fireball is nicely. All in all it is much prefered to the old random die I used to impose on...

I almost wish I had never read this thread. My replacement DM is currently running us through adventures based in Cormyr but using third party modules (Loc Durnun and various Monkey God releases) and plans to, possibly, include Into the Dragon's Lair. The party has Successfuly liberated a gold...

Just a few type Os, nothing serious. The only thing I might actually change is adding a transitional statement between the prophetic dream and the cut scene to the tavern. Still, I would have no problem laying down cash on a novel that started out this way. It reminds me of the opening scenes...

SurfMonkey01 you should clean that text up a bit, and only a lil bit, and send it to WOTC. That story reads better than many of their novels, and was much more interesting too.

Of course bean counting, a Gygaxian divorce, and overpriced low quality books had nothing to do with this. Not to mention "Misfire" and a very poorly thought out marketing plan to boost holiday sales. :( Still, I miss the day when rules supplements were something big instead of the next book...

Plots within plots within plots. I find it helps to keep my players guessing all the to the end of a campiagn and often beyond. It keeps them asking when I am going to run again.

I generally love WOTC products, but this sounds like an attempt to jump all over someone else's book with a new "official" set of rules and mechanics. I wish WOTC would start pumping out modules like TSR used to instead of $30+ supplements containing one or two cool prestige classes and a bunch...

I resisted minis for years. My group tended to play on couches in the living room with only coffee tables and notebooks to roll dice on. Using miniatures has replaced that relaxed atmosphere and my extra comfy lazy boy with a dinning room table. My desciptions were not perfect for tactics, but...
