Wait, does this mean that 6e is going to be pushed back now?

I like the art style used for that modron pic. Not just because I love the modrons, but the adventurers in that picture look really good. I like the old guys beard! If they just used that style of art for the portraits in the PHB, it would have really improved the quality of the book (for me...

What a nightmare of a player. Guys like that make it hard for others to really absorb themselves into the game world and their characters. This sort of thing just ruins immersion. I personally wouldn't tolerate it and he would get the boot if it kept happening. I won't make other players (or me...

Yep, you called it. I have an inferiority complex. :blush: Please, that's not the first or second time you've responded in this thread by trying to flip the table and turn it around on the person you are replying to in order to come out on top. Let's not play these games if you want to actually...

That would work just fine for me. The sandbox games that I played didn't even give that kind of option. Even then, I would hope that the DM has a good idea about what each of those adventures entail. Or be really good at making them fun. Cause you can usually tell when a DM is making up his...

The original thread that I linked in the OP here gives a perfect example of why I would have this impression. The 2nd most important thing to most gamers voting for a Planescape adventure is to make sure that it is a sandbox adventure. Of course, that isn't solid evidence that people say...

So I started this thread because I'm amazed at how many people voted for a "sandbox" adventure being the 2nd most important thing to writing an adventure. And frankly, I'm sick of the whole "sandbox" bandwagon since it comes off as elitist and basically is saying that I'm not doing something...

All good points. My only problem is that I want to pick multiple options! Maybe it needs to ask which is the most important? I wish there was a rating system for polls so we could rate the options from greatest to least important. That seems like it would be more helpful for you. I mean I...

I agree with this. Everything else aside, people are buying/playing an adventure for one thing over all else, the quality of the plotline and the adventure scenarios. If that is great, you are good to go no matter what faults you have with your other poll options. The other things can be...

I'm trying to fill a maze with a mix of normal statues of people with a mix of creature "statues". I can think of the Gargoyle, Stone Golem, Animated Object, and Caryatid Column, but what other stone-like creatures exist that I could use for CR 6 group?

I don't mean to say it can't be done. Just like I'm saying that it's wrong to think that a railroaded game can't be perfectly good. My point is, people claim that anything referred to as railroaded is bad, and sandbox automatically means it's better (and can't be bad). Labeling either term as...

Sorry, my reply wasn't in regards to your poll options. I don't have a problem with the poll itself. My reply was in regards to the results of those poll options. Of course people are going to want a PS adventure to have a PS feel. So it is natural that that option would be high in the polls...

I had kind of a similar, but opposite thing happen to me. I was a DM, that had a boatload of adversarial players during the first half of the 3.5 era. I came from 2e and was used to being very loose with the rules. Then I get into 3.5e and started playing with new players and I was consistently...

The above quote is exactly what I was going to vote for (or explain, since it isn't an option in the poll). Planescape for me has always been about the plane-hopping to new and exotic destinations. There is a reason that Planescape PCs are referred to as "Planewalkers". I suppose that could...

This topic came from some thoughts I had based on the thread here. I just didn't want to derail that thread, so I am ranting in my own thread. :p I don't mean to say that either is good or bad. But I've played in plenty of sandbox games to recognize that just because you DM a sandbox game does...

Thanks man. I love getting 3.5 conversions! Out of curiosity, why is this your favorite module? I've never ran or read it, so I'm just asking in case I might want to run it some day in my own campaign.

I haven't dealt with the "too big for their britches" stuff yet since some of the players involved in that have had to miss the last 2 sessions. But it's all in the works. Pretty much, some of the dwarves are going to bite the dust when the Baatezu come back for revenge. This will be a wake up...

Sorry for the confusion. Actually, I had a brain fart on that one. It still threatens your square while in your square, so it does get an AoO if you grab it. It just doesn't have any reach since it is tiny or smaller. So you can move out of the square without provoking an AoO from it. Sorry...

Creatures two size categories smaller can enter into an occupied square. Creatures smaller than small must enter into an occupied square to attack. So if that spider is tiny or smaller, it has to enter into the square to attack. So that makes sense, and a PC can make a grab attack to grab it and...

My wife said the same thing about me when we first met. WotC refused to take me back though.
