I liked the game when I was younger and couldn't get people to play D&D with me. Now I think that my players are getting into the new D&D Miniatures game just so that I'd stop using the Hero Quest figures for everything.

The Verdant Guild (aka "Wylders") appeared in the Player's Guide to Conflict, in the Planes of Conflict boxed set.

I have both kinds of players in the same group. I have one player whose character is about as one-dimensional as you can get, yet who takes so many notes during the quest that she knows exactly how many baddies got waxed in each adventure. I have two more players who really get into their...

Honestly, Cinci isn't the world's greatest place to live. It gets a big "eh" from me. It's actually rather boring...not a great deal to do. But I've lived here for so long that I may not really appreciate it like I should.

I am not an architect, but an architecture student at the University of Cincinnati. I don't really know what to put into your portfolio, as I got here directly from high-school and that was not a requirement. But I can say that the school seems to get high marks from a number of sources...

Meh. I did a small conversion of the World of Darkness to d20 Modern that was margenally successful. However, I changed quite a bit of the details and backstory to my own tastes that made it easier. Vampires and werewolves became Monster Classes/Templates (ala Savage Species), while Mages...

As I just listed above: races are not subtypes. Red dragon is not a subtype. Pit-fiend is not a subtype. Only humanoids have subtypes based upon race. Even outsiders (the only other type that has manditory subtypes) don't go by race, but by alignment. The MM has a list of all of the...

I believe you mistook my mention of racial vs. type traits. Does a pit fiend retain its fiendish traits: yes. It's outsider traits: no. Thus, it would keep all of its spell-like abilities, SR, elemental resistance, etc. but not the "outsider type" traits (i.e. Darkvision and its inability to...

Technically, the example abilities that you mention are "racial traits" and not "type traits." Therefore the half-dragon/human has the Dragon type but all of the racial abilities of both human and half-dragon (since the template doesn't remove the human racial traits). A better example would...

From what I've read, Monte Cook said that they left out the flaws system because it could lead to players way over min/maxing their characters. For a while, I didn't really understand this line of thinking and made my own Flaws system (take 1 flaw, gain 1 feat). And then I saw it in...

Whoohoo! Thanks Joshua for the confirmation! I've been eying this one since I heard about it, and I'm happy to hear that it was worth the wait. Off to the store I go to order it!

I'm always the DM, so since I'm in control of the rules interpretation, I don't really have to pay as much attention to them. Thus, I turn into a "role-player" to describe the scenes and NPCs. However, the very few times I've been a player, I've turned into the worst kind of...

You bet. I've always liked the idea, and I plan on using Iron Kingdoms with a homebrew setting. I'm hoping to mix in a bit of weirdness that I've never used before, since I've mostly stuck with standard fantasy.

1.) What is the best number of players at the table, whether as a DM or player yourself? Since I always DM, my ideal number of players is four. 2.) How often should you be able to game in an ideal world? Probably once a week. 3.) How long should those sessions be? Ideally they'd be four to six...

Whoo Hoo! I'm a lurker no longer! 1.) How many players in your group? I have two groups: four in one and six in the other. Not counting myself. 2.) Do you DM? 3.) Do other people in the group DM, and how many? All the time. I can't get anyone to DM and I'm so comfortable with it, that's all...
