If any thread ever qualified as "flaming the message boards" this would be it. Granted I don't have a great deal of play time experience, as I've mentioned before, nor do my friends. But everyone I've ever talked to has considered it standard to assume that the DM is in charge and the rules...

I have to agree that there are a lot more epic level characters running around than just the ones that are stipulated. Virtually every suplement that has come out for FR has mulitple high level characters and at least a few epics. Check out the lich (Larloch?) in Lords of Darkness. And he's...

Two little rants: Scarred Lands did NOT come up with the idea of heralds for deities, the bible did that. Scarred Lands presents a lot of neat new idea, and WotC occasssionally copies new ideas. The herald of a deity does not fall under either of those umbrellas. Emulating psionic comic book...

Has anbody read Echoes of the Past yet? I was wondering if it was any good. Usually I would wait for a review, but I'm tired of waiting for someone to review it. And to give this thread more of a thread-ish feel, I think some discussion on how people are handling all of the recently...

AAAAAAGH! sever the tie is gone? it was one of the neatest powers, certainly with an awesome picture. it gave an undead hunter feel possibility to the psion. It had great background if anyone remembers it from The Illithiad. Well, I'm peeved. I had hoped they'd give it a bunch of...

I don't suppose you feel like giving any details about the Dark Sun setting? and does anyone know when the new Dungeon companion Mag is coming out?

Living at a really hilly university, teleportation spells look really good to me, so I'd have to say a conjurer. Plus, summoning extraplanar being and visiting other dimensions is really what it's all about. Who needs to raise the dead or enchant the living when you can just summon a devil to...

I guess in retrospect I should have put both a "what do you use most often" and a "heavily modified campaign" in, but hey, maybe someone can do that again a year from now and learn from past mistakes ;) I guess I should say that I personally go for the second option, with some mix and...

So, having just talked about it on another thread, it occured to me that I hadn't seen a poll for this, and maybe it would be of use to the industry and community. Do you use campaigns that are sold by WotC or any other publisher as they are, with only minor house rules changes? Do you take...

There sure is a whole lot of complaining going on on these boards. someone mentioned a "feeding frenzy" for 3.5, but looking at the average poster here, it would almost seem like no one bought the reprint, or if they did, it was an immense sacrifice of $90. apparently no one has heard of...

Yeah, and believe me, second year it doesn't get any better. I'm writing a paper on, among other things, Chretien de Troyes' Romances (a great source of inspiration for what real medieval adventure stories were like), and behind me are twenty or so books for my twenty page research paper due...

Hear hear to that! Thanks for all the feedback guys. It looks like I'll actually be in two games next semester, one as a player and one as a DM. You've all been very encouraging, I really appreciate it. Hopefully this has also been encouraging to anyone else who in in similar circumstances.

I bought my first D&D product in a toy store nine years ago and I've never looked back. I own over a hundred books by now, buying just about everything that TSR and then WotC put out, from Alternity to 3.5, as well as 3rd party publishers. I've subscribed to Dragon almost since issue 200...

except that inevitable are constructs. It would have been cooler if they hadn't been. I loved the new ones in Fiend Folio. fleshing them out more would be awesome too. Someone mentioned earlier that aspects of law and chaos are already considered in BoVD and BoED, but frankly I don't feel it...

Agreed on all points, but before all of that I would love to see a book with more detail on Law and Chaos, since we have books on Good and Evil. In particular, I have always loved the Slaad, which are one of the greatest and most unique outsider ideas ever created for D&D, way back when in the...

at the risk of provoking another heated debate, I would like to point ou that the deities of deities and demigods aren't anything like the god worshiped by so many jews, christians, and muslims. they have definable characteristics, limited powers, and are designed to be used within the rules...

The new format is a bit harder to read than the old one because it's less efficient. personally, I liked the old way better, but I'm so glad you run this website I won't mind too much.

I like the drop down menu too, but I personally like to have sidebars on the left. Just my opinion. Also as a suggestion, you could put the d20 and WotC icons on the left side of the text, since this would help people who are just scanning the text pick out the categories they want to read. I...
