    Where should I buy single miniatures online?

    I have used Troll & Toad as well. Their prices are a bit high but their selection is pretty gosh-darn good.

    Tiefling vs. Goblin RM:UT Round 1 (One Day Only!)

    Anyone who votes Tiefling should be kicked off these boards. ;)

    How many levels does D&D need?

    Four levels minimum. Nobody > Hero (local) > Hero (lord) > Hero (epic) I think my ideal would be something like: Level 1: Nobody Level 2: Hero (local) Level 3: Hero (local) Level 4: Hero (lord) Level 5: Hero (lord) Level 6: Hero (epic)

    Should the DM accommodate characters, or characters accommodate DMs?

    I'll take you at your word that it wasn't meant toward me or what I was saying. I think it might have helped if you had made clear in your post where your response to me ended and your general statement began. Something like: Hussar to Ghost - Words. ----- Hussar - General Statement. As...

    Should the DM accommodate characters, or characters accommodate DMs?

    Hussar - If you have questions about what I do or how it works, please, feel free to ask - I will gladly respond. If you want me to clarify anything I say, please ask and I will respond. But if it is your intent to mischaracterize what I write, then consider this discussion with me over.

    Should the DM accommodate characters, or characters accommodate DMs?

    I'll use an example here from the current campaign I am playing in. It is a D&D 3.5 edition, Forgotten Realms campaign setting game set in the Silver Marches region. The party consist of a Dwarf Ranger/Deepwarden, a Halfling Paladin/Cavalier, a Gnome Wizard/Loremaster, and a Human Spirit...

    Should the DM accommodate characters, or characters accommodate DMs?

    No, I read that part. I am trying to see where the difference is between what you wrote above and what I wrote below. AFAICT, in both cases the players are having a discussion and that discussion will (most likely) result in some form of compromise. It seems that I am taking it one step further...

    Should the DM accommodate characters, or characters accommodate DMs?

    What's the difference between "put my foot down" and "tough noogies"? At the end of the day you are still telling one player that they cannot do what they want to do.

    What D&Disms have you never liked?

    Are you suggesting that Dark Sun would have been more popular had it not included Elves, Dwarves, Halflings, etc.? I'm not so sure that that is true.

    Last Names in your Campaign

    I generally do not do typical surnames as we know them today; instead I focus on "of [place]", "the [profession]", "the [title]", "son/daughter of [person]", or "House of [name]". For example the party could meet: Edward of Greyhawk Edward the Miller Edward, The Black Prince Edward, Son of...

    I'm getting Edition War fatigue

    I actually prefer ENWorld's boards to either WotC or RPGNow precisely because the quality of discussion here is better than over there. Even the threads that are (or descend into) an edition war tend to be more civilized. The moderators here do a great job of keeping the level of bile to a minimum.

    What D&Disms have you never liked?

    Same here. That being said, there is one thing that I have never liked... ...yeah, this.

    Where is my Freaking Mule?!

    Fair enough. There just seems to be a lot of donkeys and mules in this thread! ;)

    Where is my Freaking Mule?!

    While I am in general agreement with the "just wing it" advice, I got to ask - why is someone wanting a book of Mundane Items so appalling that you need to challenge someone's play-style or refer to them in words that would make Grandma blush?

    Help me make WotC adventures better.

    Hi Rodney! First, I have not been a big fan of WotC Dungeon/Dragon. When it came time to renew my subscription I let it lapse largely because of the quality of the adventures. Second, I have not read this whole thread; only the first page or so. I don’t know if what I am going to say...

    What did you do with your loot?

    My experience differs from yours. All the people I played with built strongholds, towers, monasteries, churches; hired mercenaries and other hirelings; equipped said armies; and then adventured for more! Edit. My character, at the end of our 1e campaign, had two strongholds, a coal mine, an...

    Where is my Freaking Mule?!

    I believe the proper term is "Harlot" and I want my table so I know when I am propositioning one whether I am propositioning a Brazen Strumpet, a Haughty Courtesan, or a Saucy Tart. :)

    Dear 4e, Please Stop with the Horrible Portmanteaus!

    So what? The word "guarantee" has six (!) different, acceptable pronunciations according to my dictionary.
