I disagree to a point. IMHO there are D&D modules that can be considered classic and widely popular i.e. the "Against the Giants series", "Tomb of Horrors", etc. Most D&D gamers I know (and I have been playing since 1978) remember these fondly. Where I do agree is in how these modules were...

from your user name and length of time gaming, we appear to be similar in our outlook on past use of psionics. I just recently changed my mind with the 3.5 system and now allow them in my game and also play in two other games that the DM allows them. We are having a great time. The feel of...

I play in three games (2 groups) all D&D 3.5 Game A - 8 Years for group (28 years for some members) Myself M - 39 - Landscape Architect M - 41 - Data Analyst M - 52 - Computer Programmer M - 55 - Computer Programmer M - 40 - Corrections Officer Game B - 4 years Myself M - 55 - Computer...

I agree.. Having a blast running it in my home brew world. The characters have just about finished Zenith Trajectory and are about to turn 10th level. I have made adjustments to encounters and setting to allow for my setting's flavor. For instance we have wizard "gunpowder" exotic weapons...

I think they will buy the core rulebooks to see what the game is like and maybe mine some ideas, but I am not convinced they will abandon all other versions of the game and play strictly 4E. I myself plan on buying the core three (most likely after the first errata is put in), but I have huge...

I would suggest looking at the files that you can find in the Baldur's Gate and Neverwinter Nights games. I have used them and the theme music in my game and it worked out great! :) Hippy

If they are killing an NPC over an insult, I would consider that an evil act. A "bar fight" or duel to first blood is reasonable given the genre of the game, but killing in my game would be going over the line. In books and movies when this happens I generally would not consider them...

I'm not sure I agree with your assessment that the DM failed. It seems to me there may have been some miscommunication on the expectations of the game or campaign. But it appears it is two way from the way I am reading it. Which is why I suggested that the DM talk to the players, get their...

I couldn't disagree more with your statements. Heroes should be just that heroes! The good guys. The guys in white hats (to use an american western film image) Especially the Paladin. They are suppose to be the icon of what is good and just. Bashing an NPC or killing them because they...

Thanks for the welcome. I've been a long time lurker, but finally decided to participate. Nice to see another design professional into gaming. As a DM I think it gives our players a unique perspective on spatial verisimilitude when "painting" the scene for the PCs! Best regards, Hippy

Skills and Class Powers Mr. Mona and Paizo Crew: First let me say I am thrilled that you have decided to keep on with the 3.5 OGL. I for one (and I know I am hardly alone) have hundreds of dollars invested in 3.5 materials, ranging from hardback books to softcover manuals, supplements, and...

I am an Urban Planner and Landscape Architect by profession. With this in mind I recommend a trip to your local library or online store, and find some books on historical city growth. One good one is The Origin of the City. This will give your city a real life like quality that might be...

Just thought I'd offer my two coppers worth... I play in two bi-weekly games and share the DMing duty with another friend. He runs his game on Fridays and I run mine on Sundays. It works well because we both get to play PCs an equal share of the time. The idea that a DMPC is bad IMHO depends...
