    Most Unplanned Party Wipe

    unplanned Well, we don't plan on wiping ourself. I never plan on wiping myself. I usually have the DM wipe me.

    Familiars R Us

    Hedgehog would get my vote too. But last time I got a ferret (+2 reflex) ... that was sheer white, very fat, and felt entitled to everything. I fashioned his personality after my cat. My cat that weighs 35lbs!!! ... he ended up suriviving while my character died.

    Embarrassing moments in gaming history

    Aw ... Sometimes quiet people are trying to be polite. But I'm sure it was no big mistake. As backstory, I gave my character a little sister who was named Poo. I don't think it's emberassing, I think it's cute! But she was a HIGH LEVEL Blighter ... at age 5. As our story line turns out ...

    If animals could talk, which kind would be gamers?

    Animals as gamers You bring up a good point, but here is where your logic fails: According to Dragon Magazine 283947, the Danish is stat-ed as DEX +2, CHR +2, CON -1. Which would actually make the Danish a better Sorcerer. BAM! In the immortal words of Beyonce, "to the left, to the left...

    Stupidest Things DMs Have Done

    YAY! For us ... So, this wasn't "stupid DM" this was just ... "whew" moment for us as players. Our DM puts us up against HUGE baddies. I mean, demons and dragons and evil-ubre-spirits of the Demolish Lord Keey-Org. We had been teleported to this island in an alternate time/space. We had to...

    If animals could talk, which kind would be gamers?

    what animals would be gamers? Donuts. But the really smart kind- ... Like Bear Claw, or Apple Fritter. I can see an Apple Fritter being a barbarian or maybe a Duskblade. You would have those French Cruellers being wizards. I would not want to play with a bagel. I bet they would be those...

    Playing without a tank

    two thoughts 1) I don't think any party "needs" to have those roles fullfilled. You're telling a story about characters. Not playing a video game. A good DM can still run a campaign without a "tank." I've never enjoyed the idea of "go in there and get hit." It just never seemed challenging Role...

    Need help dealing with a melee character in a predominately ranged combat setting...

    Outside the Box Ideas How about a "cursed ring of teleportation." He puts on the ring. It melts to his finger (so no one else can use it.) and it teleports him to where he needs to go (once a day). Then always have a "head of archery" or captain of the baddies in hand so when he decides to...

    Campaigns in the near future?

    Some ideas: > I've been wanting to run a campaign that involves a great deal of sailing/pirates/watermagic. > I've been wanting to run a campaign that deals with Aliens vs. Wizards. > I've been wanting to run a campaign that deals with two sets of heroes. The first set (Team A) ends up...

    Any suggestions on how to improve my character ?

    Gnome Wannabee I think the idea is too vanilla. Too "Charlie Brown." Spice it up with some risk. Like he's always wanted to be a half-orc barbarian ... thug. Because he's felt ineffectual as an academic. I mean people feel like they want to be more jock-ish. (Don't we? LOL) How about he's...

    Can you teach someone not to (bad) metagame - (or at least not be rude)

    Metagaming I think the best advice is to have him DM. Hard to do.

    What Gaming Stuff Are You Getting/Giving For Christmas?

    I learned D&D from my brother. And he is the ONLY one of my family members who would know what I'm talking about, and buy me D&D stuff. But he's gay ... so he tries to buy me these "nice clothes" or "creative gifts." Dammit boy! Just buy me some D&D stuff! ... I hate him.

    Do only DMs like rules lite systems?

    Whao! Original Question I DM about 15% and Player about 84%. (and eat about 1%) I like rules light systems. The entire game is to build momentuem. Emotional (combat, interaction, slueth) or mechanical (tons of damage, cool combos) .... it'a sll about risk and building momentuem till you get...

    Half-Elemental advice

    I am playing a half-earth elemental fighter. 20th level. It's great! But I need range/versatility. Fighters don't offer any skills, spells or a great manifold of options for magical/ranged attacks. Any suggestions? I'm open to PrC suggestions, Feats, any ideas ... (Right now, I have a few...

    [Rant] Bad cliches, silly names, and acting stupid around the gaming table

    Humor I agree with the posters who encourage humor from interaction as opposed to expression. Meaning a "funny name" does not encourage as much diverse humor, or the longevity of humor ... as two funny conflicting personalities trying to accomplish a goal. You're talking about a "knock-knock...
