My last campaign sort of fizzled for the reasons you stated. Everyone just stopped having fun. I had to start playing with another group where I play everything from dnd to lexicon to octaNe to paranoia to the new warhammer fantasy rpg to find the fun again. And it's been a blast! It sounds...

Or, you know... a TARRASQUE!

The player's first mistake was tipping his hand. This can be fun for you (and the players)! If the vampire lords gets wise to this guy, maybe he can make it look like some other high ranking official is a vampire or whatever. Then see what happens when your player tries to test him or her...

You're drifting into definite paladin territory there, the key word being suffering. ;)

Right now.... I mean... now. Last one I promise. This was it. ;-)

If 3.5 had been identical except that it was called 3.1 instead, nobody would be worried and this thread wouldn't exist. But seriously, if wotc came out with 4.0e tomorrow would it really make a huge difference to your game? Aren't there enough books out there to play an amazingly rich Dnd...

"Marshall, Will, and Holly on a routine expedition Met the greatest earthquake ever known. High on the rapids it struck their tiny raft. And plunged them down a thousand feet below. To the Land of the Lost." Sorry. No dinos in my world. For whatever reason I could never get behind dinosaurs...

I have all the released Privateer Press books that have been released. I've seen mention on their website about a prestige class called Pistoleer but I can't find it in any of my books or on their web site. Does anyone know if it has been released and if so where? If not then is it supposed...

It's been a while since I took a look at it but I was VERY impressed with the magic system in the d20 Wheel of Time book. I'm very tempted to use that magic system as the primary form of magic in my next campaign. It is very close to what the novels present which is impressive on it's own but...

I kind of wish we could game on the weekends (Sunday would be great for me as well). However since a lot (I think all now actually) of the people in the game are from work and some of them commute, we do it on the weekday as a convenience for them. It works out pretty well but sometimes our...

Was curious what day is most popular for gaming. Is it usually a weekday or weekend? Also it might help if you posted your answer and how old you are or what level of employment you have. Myself I game with some folks at work on Thursdays and on Fridays I run my game.

We played without grids using 2e all the time and it seemed to work ok. Basically if you wanted to know if a fireball hit you, you would ask the dm. I've played 3e without a mat and it works pretty much the same way. If you want to know if you get an ao, you ask the dm. It works pretty well...

Anyone work in a game shop/hang out in one quite a bit and get a chance to talk to anyone who has bought mini's and then decided to buy some core books or have any other sort of evidence that there is some sort of cross pollination going on here?

Personally I'm with the Jester. I just have never been able to get into painting minis. It takes enough time having a job and DMing a weekly (most of the time) game. I love the wotc minis but have decided to wait until I can buy individuals at my flgs. One of my players loves painting...

If damage dealing is our standard of how powerful a class is then I think another thing to take into account is how much additional damage a fighter (or any other class) is able to do BECAUSE of a cleric. This might be because the fighter (in this example) got buffed up a bit, or because he had...

This is the best suggestion I've heard so far. I'm currently running a group and we have the same problem (to a lesser degree) with players ranging from 6th to 9th level. It seems to work out reasonably well and the way the levels are scaled (via the xp chart) the guys in the back catch up ok...

They weren't profitable. Personally I'm looking forward to these in a big way! I have a feeling my obsessive collecting nature might cause me to buy more of them than I should. Has there been any official word on when they might start showing up in stores?

At least now the rules seem to be more consistent. Even if I don't remember a specific rule I can usually puzzle out what it is by asking myself what makes sense and most times I'm not far off. With second edition I definitely spent a LOT more time looking things up. Play flows much more...

In my group I tend to draw rough maps on the whiteboard for the party mapper to copy down. We only use the battlemat for, um..., battles. It works out pretty well. Anyone know of any good mapping software out there? As a dm it would be great to have some decent map making software. Even...

Anything a mage character can do, a dm can do in triplicate! And even the triplicate can be done in triplicate I've heard! And then there's Rule 0, the most powerful spell of all! It's good to be the dm...
