Orcus all the way baby!

I hate it when a DM "gives" me anything. I want a risk of death for my PC, I want some randomness to finding magic weapons, spells, etc. and I want consequences for bad decisions- roleplay, combat, or otherwise. To me, a high level character should be something to be proud of having obtained...

I just stopped in to kill this thread I heard about but I am out of ammo and I can't seem to find it. Its called "I am Threadkiller" or something like that? Anyone seen it?

I am still confused as to what aspects of the game we are talking about. This is a very confusing discussion.:(

The Slayers guides from Mongoose, and the Dungeons, Evil, Dragons, Undead... series from AEG. I enjoyed both of them, but I realized after reading Evil that I had been entertained and nothing else. There really isn't anything there I didn't already use and the products had no impact on the game...

This is all cool stuff, but I have another sort of issue. I like to run pretty standard settings and I would like to spice up these races a bit too, without leaving the idea that each is based on or delving into real world histories or steampunk settings. Any suggestions?

I have football in my forecast as well... but only because I am a teacher and have duty at my High Schoo's game tonight. Four hours of crowd control, threats of violence, cursing, drugs, and oh yeah, football. Pray for me.:D

Personally, I don't even think about spellbooks for my PCs most of the time. Unless they are captured or something, I just assume the Wizard has access to spells. The fire and forget system is awkward if you think about it from an "in game" mentality anyway. On the other hand, a fighter would...

Well, my group doesn't sip martinis and quote Marcus Aurelius when we play, but none of us throw food at one another. I guess that leaves us somewhere in the middle on the maturity scale. I hope that helps.:D

I am sure that most of these people saw the layoffs coming. If they didn't... honestly, I don't even see that as a possibilty. If they want to stay in RPGs, there are plenty of places they can work since they are already established in the industry. The fact of the matter is that Hasbro is never...

Thanks a bunch! That is what I was hoping, but it is not very clear in the MM, unless I am missing something.

I am running the Adventure Path modules. They got through Sunless Citadel just fine. 1 died at the conclusion to Forge of Fury. 2 were killed by the Ogre Mage in Speaker in Dreams. None died in The Standing Stone. So far, 6 have died in Nightfang Spire all killed by Gorillions (please see my...

Man, I couldn't agree more. There are plenty of spells at all levels that I have this problem with. Lots of spells because of their long durations, often take low level fighters out of the entire fight, leaving the other PCs in a very difficult posistion. Its just that annoying feeling that...

Does this creature have the ability to Rend twice? It says it Rends with two successful claw attacks and it gets four claw attacks. I have been using the double rend in Nightfang Spire, and I think it is way too much. I am looking for someone to prove to me I shouldn't do it this way so that my...

I agree, in fact I have been using a free form xp system. BUT there is still the issue of using CR to determine how tough a monster will be for the party... I don't think xp is really the issue, TPK's however, are.

We just killed a couple of chickens in my last session, so its gone down a bit.

I didn't start gaming until I was in college, so even though my parents didn't really approve, they couldn't tell me to stop. My parents are fairly open-minded people so it is strange to me that they have such odd views of D&D. I think they have grown slightly more accepting since I have been...

From what I have heard, there are several CCI and II monsters in the book, but they have different names. Nightfall could tell you more I would guess.

Roll 4d6, take best three... do this seven times and take the six stats you want. Repeat and record six more scores then take either the first group or second group of six.

I can't believe only a couple of votes for Death in Freeport. You could run the whole trilogy if you wanted. The first module has alot of roleplaying opportunities if you play up some of the folks the PCs need to talk to. It is also a mystery and is very simple for the DM to get a handle on.
