"4e has made Asmodeus a god." He was already a "proto-diety" in earlier products, being around since before the multiverse was formed. Though I do understand people being concerned about religious fundamentalists having an uproar. I've seen first-hand of what they'll do--back in high school...

...when the spells are REAL! I've been playing D&D for almost 19 years, and I never encountered any of the evil kewl magickal powerz that people like Jack Chick talk about. I feel ripped off. I want my money back. ;)

I noticed the same thing too when I ran a low-magic campaign for 3.5. It's really difficult to adapt modules to a low magic game too. While I didn't have as much problem with your second premise (my low-magic campaign had more roleplaying than combat), your first premise rings true. In the end...

Congratulations, Doug McCrae you are now officially a full-fledged Dungeon Master. *Welcomes Doug into the fold with open arms*

But you left out the best part: "Now, should I tell you what I really think?"

Exactly. In fact, it looks like that takes up about as much space as a 3.5 stat-block. And the stat-block is the abbreviated form of a character sheet. But if Grunk were an NPC in 1st Edition, he'd probably look something like this: Grunk Ftr 1, NG, HP 6, DMG 2d4 (broadsword), Equipment...

I think it'd be great if Diaglo got on here and said "Strategic Review. All other forms are just pale imitations." ;) ---- For me, Dragon Magazine went in cycles, which is why I held a subscription from the early 1990s shortly after 3e came out. Just when I thought the magazine was going...

Here's a link to his obituary. http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/entertainment/6253535.stm That guy was tough. I mean, how many people you know have broken every bone in their body and live to tell about it. And then there's this tidbit... yikes!

I also like that in order to be in one of these specialized classes, you had to have great abilities scores. To be a paladin, you needed a 17 in charisma. Using the standard 4d6 drop the lowest method, this made characters like this rare...as they should be. In Unearthed Arcana, the paladin...

Yeah, I might be in that same boat, too. I even have 4 extra Player's Handbooks to share. And really, that's all the players need to play the game. The DM has everything else. Here's what I'm going to propose to my players: 1. Part of the fun is not knowing everything, even the rules. 1st...

:eek: Damn. I could even see villagers claiming that a dragon is in a nearby mine is causing all of this. But there is no dragon. The goal of the PCs changes from slaying the dragon to convincing the villagers to leave. Gee, which is harder? According to that website there's still 44 people...

I bought it and really liked it at first (despite the spelling errors in the PHB). But then I figured, "this is a lot like AD&D, so why don't I just play 1st Edition AD&D?" One thing that I didn't like about C&C was the test resolution system where you needed two numbers depending on if a...

Thank you for re-posting that site. I had it bookmarked awhile ago but lost it. I'm starting up another campaign soon, and am strongly considering using OD&D (maybe Holmes version or the 1981 version--I don't have the 1974 set.) I like how a DM can mold the game into what he desires in his...

Magic items aren't for sale in our world either. ;)

I voted every single catagory. The magic item system in 3.0/3.5e annoys me for all of those reasons. The fact is, that if you alter one of those catagories, it affects how you run and design adventures for D&D. At higher levels, not having all those magic items (the glut catagory) can effect CR...

Well. I was excited about the release of 4e until I saw the regular price of the books. But if Amazon's offering 34% off, then that's great! To answer your question: Yes, I noticed this. And I've been noticing price-creep for a long time now.

I think that WotC might actually be trying to create a backlash toward D&D. The backlash in the late 1970s/early 1980s helped cause sales to soar. People become intrigued when somebody says, "don't do that." People are also intrigued by the concept of evil. The number of money making movies over...

Here's my list of Soundtracks/Music that I use fairly regularly for my D&D sessions: Battlestar Galactica Seasons 1 & 2 Silence of the Lambs Diablo I & II Gladiator Tool--A lot their music is appropriate because the main bad guy is an Arch-Necromancer Rammstein--yes, I play a lot of Rammstein...

Dungeon Tiles are fantastic. But, Bagpuss mentioned, have what you need sorted out prior to the game session. I learned this the hard way rummaging through my shoebox of Dungeon Tiles looking for the "rune tile" from Arcane Corridors once when I was DMing. It takes too much time out of the game...

I'm 28, been gaming since I was 10. I've gamed with many age groups over the years. I run a game once a week. And have been doing so since I've started playing D&D. I've found that age doesn't matter if the person throws tantrums, pouts, exploits the rules and is disrespectful to everybody...
