    Divine Power & Righteous Might Supersize Me

    The Juggernaut Combo Yeah, he's big & bad. Try having a slient image of the BBEG and keep him moving around for a little while. When he finally splats him, it goes poof! This also works on warmages who gear up the "orb of doom" for 250 points of damage-you splatter the heck out of that slient...

    How much profanity in your game?

    Swearing I think our group is OK on swearing, now if you wanted to talk about political views....be happy some of our guys do not have their fingers on "the Button." Ian.

    The sheriff "Although if your gaming activities are running you afoul of Sheriff Leis and his cronies... you're probably more hardcore than you need to be. " No we are pretty tame, the comment came from a guy who used to game with us and worked for "old Si". He told us "Si would NOT approve."...

    Modules and bigger parties...

    Large Parties This is my problem with some of the WotC stuff , They are very tied into "the standard party of 4 thing." If they have finally put in some scaling, it is about time! Increasing the party size really beefs up the party. I agree that just adding dice,hp, stats to the monsters just...

    Treatment for a jerk player?

    Funny? Make him play it? Right up until the time he gets the party TPK'd by click clacking down the dungeon on his wooden peg legs. Just tell him to make his character and listen in while the rest of you PLAY. I like the cursed item idea however. Ian.

    Gaming across the US

    Gaming Gaming here in the "freaking Nati" is pretty good. There are a good number of small independant game stores here that support gaming. Games run the gammut of high level serious to munchkin. Traffic here is not too bad yet. Couple of Provisos-1)There has not been a successful con here in...

    Expedition to Castle Ravenloft-spoilers!

    Review: Expedition to Castle Ravenloft-Ian De’Magi SPOILERS!!!!!!!!! As I have said before, I was excited, no thrilled, to see this adventure updated to third (.5) edition. It is the only product I have ever pre-ordered, and I have been playing since D & D 1978. This is a supreme...

    Was I unfair?

    Whole game written What is so bad about that? That the DM has planned the story is awesome! Part of being a DM is adjusting on the fly. My impression is Tylermalan is very capable of doing that. Some times you just have to be fair to the game to be a good DM. When they jumped down the whole...

    A powergamer in a non-powergame.

    ooooops-Thanks-IcyCool Forgot the wife thing, good catch! Man this situation has a whole lot of ugly to it! I feel for you guys & girls that are in bad games. I hope you all find better games. I think I will email the guys & girl I play with and thank them for running and playing a good game...

    A powergamer in a non-powergame.

    HeapThaumaturgist HeapThaumaturgist , Awesome post! I think you are on the right idea! Messing with DMPC's archer would be soo much more fun than putting up with the screwy rules, and railroad story line. I think UMD is a way to go. Obscuring Mist or Darkness right before the DMPC Archer is...

    A powergamer in a non-powergame.

    house rules Allandaros , Yep, guilty as charged. To me house rules and DM's that use a lot of then are designer wannabee's, and what they ususally do to "improve the game" blows 90% of the time. I can understand a DM who wants to limit stuff from splat books, races of books, even completes...

    Was I unfair?

    Unfair? No not unfair. BUT, you did miss a lot of roleplaying flavor when they went down the sewer. Since this was horror, where were the screams they could have heard, muffled cries, aweful stench-even for a sewer, and the grisly bodies they might have found? :eek: Horror in D & D seems...

    Explain why DMPCs are bad to me.

    Dmpc In 3rd Ed, Why have a DMPC when there are well delveloped co-hort rules? If you are missing something important from a party, spend a feat and take leadership. DMPC's take the spotlight from the players. Ian.

    A powergamer in a non-powergame.

    Dm Takyris: This guy really is not playing D & D. He is playing another game that he borrows D & D rules from. IMHO-deleting or changing things from the core books is bad play or poor DM'ing. It would be a deal breaker for me. DMPC-not for 3rd editition-just too much to keep track of...

    Warmage - how balanced?

    Warmage BBR can't say much more because I am not the only one on the website from our group. Warmages have high charisma and my PC has alot of people skills. I try to share the spot light. When I ran the last campaign (which was getault), the warmage/rogue was a very powerful class. (They are...

    Warmage - how balanced?

    Warmage My warmage has had to go into melee too, but I avoid it when ever possible. Usually only to save another PC's life. Our group has 6 PC's and a good tank. We also have a hard striking opportunist DuskBlade & a Monk. There is no reason for me to venture into the front. That the difference...

    Warmage - how balanced?

    Armor Actually at 8th level they get medium armor, still no reason to go into melee with a warmage character. Let the tanks do what they do best. Ian.
