    Still no SRD for 3rd party companies

    I believe that's why they were only offering the SRD to proven 3rd party publishers. I've been pleased with the quality of products churned out by the surviving 3E companies. I take it that you haven't? You'd prefer that the SRD be withheld from proven publishers? Interesting. I see it...

    Still no SRD for 3rd party companies

    The 3rd party publishers have employees to pay. The later they receive the SRD, the more it pushes back their release schedule. The further their release schedule gets pushed back, the longer they have to go with very little money coming in.

    Getting feedback from players

    Sorry this took so long to dig up! This evaluation always helped me improve our games (so much so that I still keep some of the evalations that were done years ago). Obviously, change questions as you see fit. Fathead's Campaign Evaluation What this is about: When I create adventures, I...

    Getting feedback from players

    Yeah, my campaign evaluation was pretty useful. I try to make the game interesting and pace it well, but getting the players input helped me to pinpoint areas that I could improve (and also gave me insight into what particular players were most interested in). You know...I believe I've...

    14 year old girl wants to join my game

    You made the right choice! She might have had cooties... You never can be too careful.

    40 year old man wants to join my game

    I think that age does/doesn't matter. As others have mentioned, D&D is a social outlet, so I'm picky about who joins my group...I want someone that I can relate to. In that regard, personality and interests matter more than age. However, I can't discount the differences in age can impact how...

    40 year old man wants to join my game

    Bah! What are you talking about? You haven't had a good gaming group since you moved out west! :) I wonder where the original poster lives? Maybe it was Tewligan who contacted him to join his group....

    How soon will you switch?

    I'll pick up the PHB when it comes out. If it looks good, I'll switch my campaign over. I've liked most of what I've been hearing...although there are a few things that make me nervous. If I don't like the new rules as much, I'll either stick with 3.5 or go back to 1st or 2nd edition. In any...

    D&D 4E Really?? Is RPGA really the best place to test 4e

    True story! That happened to a friend of mine, Tewligan. What's worse is that Monte kicked in his door, took away his dice, AND shoved his miniature up his left nostril.

    Dave Noonan's reading list (& Maneuver Warfare in D&D)

    I know what you mean. My respect for the man went up a notch when he admitted to being a fan of the Babysitters Club series as well. My own bookshelf is crammed with those little gems! That's a name only mentioned by men with plenty of self esteem to spare! A man who reads both the...

    Will this thread kill the previous thread and take its stuff?

    Really?! Gish? We've started using that word regularly in our Wednesday D&D sessions, so that we could better prepare ourselves for 4E. I believe there are even plans to have "gish" in the glossary for the PHB...

    D&D Game Day - 4th Edition content?

    Yep. The DCC tournament is going 4E...how could we not? I'm reserving judgement on it until I see it...but I suspect that we'll go to 4E when it comes out.

    D&D Game Day - 4th Edition content?

    I heard that they would have something at Winter Fantasy...not sure about the D&D game day though. By the way... Sloth love Chunk. Thought you should know.

    D&D 4E Really?? Is RPGA really the best place to test 4e

    As to why the RPGA was chosen, it probably just has to do with having some gamer statistics to work with (which is better than a random selection). I would not be surprised that they also extended invitations to groups in the finals of the D&D Open (which wouldn't be stretch since Mike Mearls...

    Bored with knowing what will happen next

    This may sound like an odd suggestion...but maybe you should recruit another player, preferrably one that is a foolish player. The bulk of my group consists of methodical players. They plan everything well, rarely make mistakes, and know the rules well. Most of them stay in character (even to...

    Vault of the Dragon Kings and Stuff

    It can most definitely be fit into a campaign. There is a ton of background info that can intergrated. Vault was definitely tough. You can probably find the tournament recap somewhere, along with the percentage of PC kills per round. If memory serves me, the percentage was around 30%...

    How to Win a D&D Tournament

    That certainly applies to home campaigns...but for convention games, tournaments can be just as grand. Some of my most memorable convention stories have involved tournament games.
