I played a barbarian that took the Mage Slayer feat from Complete Arcane. He was from a tribe of barbarians that had been saved from destruction by a mysterious figure who trained them to fight spellcasters. The feat has easy prereqs to get one of which being Spellcraft. I kept putting ranks...

As most others have stated I loved the simplicity of the rules but there was something else too. For me (and I mean the 12 year old who first picked up the game back in 1984) that game universe seemed real. I so wanted to see the the huge metropolises of Triad in the Cassidine system or the wet...

That is actually pretty awesome. If you have the time it would be pretty cool if you could do one for Jurgen.

Well for me the best sci-fi rpg has to be Star Frontiers. It was a simple system that easily covered most player actions without bogging the referee or the players down in rules. And c'mon d100 to resolve all actions and everything else (weapon damage, etc) based on a d10 - that made for some...

If you want something interesting and different you might consider the Mage Slayer feat from Complete Arcane. Of course you can't take it till 9th level as it isn't a bonus fighter feat but you can easily qualify for its prereqs (2 ranks of Spellcraft, +3 BAB) but its benefits actually work well...

In our last session, one of the other players playing a cleric of Mystra said the following: "Before we go down into the sewers, I want to real quickly cast Divination. It only takes 10 minutes." For a moment, the DM stopped and the rest of us stopped and then erupted in laughter. A moment...

My vote (in order) would be: Andy Collins - "Bloodlines" or "Umber" campaigns Monte Cook - Ptolus

My group uses the sorcerer from Monte Cook's Eldritch Might books. That one uses a d6 HD, gets 4+Int in skills, more CHA based skills, and does not have to use material components but does have to pay a small XP cost if the material component has a GP cost greater than 1. And overall we like...

Third the DCC from Goodman Games. They are awesome. Check the link below: http://www.goodman-games.com/DCCpreview.php

Well thank you for the support. As for my next game it is going to be a variation on the Realms. I will be using the maps and most of the familiar cities but I will be replacing the gods and nations with my own. Well not my own gods, I am going to use the core rulebook gods. I am going to call...

Well I am sorry to report that the Westgate Campaign has been "cancelled". I have decided not to continue the campaign. I could tell you many reasons but the biggest one is this. For the last several weeks, I have been working on Act 2 of the campaign and as I was writing notes and mapping out...

And of all the cast he was the most humble. He was a good man and portrayed a great character. He was always generous with his time and the fans. He will be sorely missed.

I've only ever had to do it once in 20+ years of gaming which I find very lucky after having read some of the stories above. ;) Mine came a few years ago when 3.0 was around before 3.5 came out. I was running a game and this guy I knew who I played miniature battles with said he was...

With the caveat that not one single special ability is greater than +5 correct?

Would this be considered an epic item: +4 grace(+1), heavy fortification(+5) mithral chain shirt. Grace is a +1 special ability from the Complete Book of Eldritch Might. As I understand it, armor is only epic if it has a +6 or greater enhancement bonus, or a singular special ability of +6 or...

My apartment (not really that different) but during Hurricane Charlie last year here in Orlando. We didn't lose power but when those near 100 MPH winds came blowing through, that was a little scary. And weird. ;)

Where is this written?

In all my campaigns I always seem to have the following: 1. Dream sequences tailored to the PCs possible future and foreshadowing events 2. Some kind of prophecy that is either world shattering or just very, very bad for the immediate area the PCs are in 3. A succubus (always fun to use an...

Mine is now on hiatus for personal reasons. But it is up to date as far as what has gone on.

I actually got it from AEGs Adventure I book. It is included in a mid to high level adventure, but I thought it was so cool that I wanted to give it to the players sooner. And it really hasn't unbalanced anything at all considering they were 2nd level when they got an artifact.
