You could always rifle through the Dragon models at DAZ 3D to see if there is something you could modify.

First you begin at 0-level, in the Womb of Horrors.

It would be interesting to see half-elves and half-orcs put in the MM as templates. After all, in the 1e MM the half-orc could be half-human or half-goblin. But then again I like templates and the like. I still have not had the chance to play Glaucus, my spellstitched swarm-shifter dread...

If you felt I was somehow judging one person's activities over another,it was certainly not my intent. I suppose world creation is what you make of it. I keep most of my game in my noggin and enjoy running games on the fly. Others, of course, may feel differently. While we're adding pastimes, I...

I wouldn't go so far as to say that. I am married, have seven kids, and have my job. I also have a "hobby farm" with horses, donkeys, goats, and the like. Yes, I have most of the 3.5e splat books but my game is basically The World of Greyhawk + Stormwrack + 3.5e/d20. To this I add inspiration...

4e was remarkably dry.

"Im a monster! Raaarrr!" http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4UqFPujRZWo

It would suit me just fine if the Monster Manual had more of a SpiderWick Field Guide feel to it, with DiTerlizzi's illustrations and loads of fluff. (Granted, I may be biased; I recently asked DiTerlizzi about a tattoo inspired by a Spiderwick mermaid. His reply: "A Sargassum mermaid...

That's not so difficult to believe. I started with Basic, then Expert, then Advanced (1e). I experimented with Traveller and Gamma World but only for one-shots. Then it was on to 3e/3.5e. When 4e came along, I looked at PF and downloaded some of the rule books but have yet to use them. Since...

On the nosey. As I do with every edition of D&D, I bought the 4e DMG, PH, and MM. I thought I would learn the new ruleset by fleshing out a campaign concept of mine, "Nature of the Beast", an all-animal sylvan adventure. Alas, 4e had no druids, greenhags, or Awaken spell to start. It also helped...

As 3 of my kids were born in China and another in Taiwan, we eat Asian food with regularity. However, I remember when she was pregnant with our second child she craved Chinese/Japanese food daily. Finally, one day, I snapped. "Can you stop by Mr. Wonton?" "Wonton... spelled backwards... is NOT...

I am with you so far. I started with Basic back around 1979, which would have made me 14-15. I played D&D with my childhood friends and classmates. I went to college in a different state so I made new friends and formed a new group. When I graduated from college I gamed somewhat less, as I...

Time? Time? Was that a set-up? :) Doctor Who Goodies at Think Geek

It might be good for a one-shot, but it isn't my cup of tea. In this game we call life I HAVE to play a human, so I would be less inclined to play one in a roleplaying game. Also, during the Basic/Expert/1e days I played a human cleric for over four years, so I got that out of my system. That...

"D&D is a game about slaying horrible monsters, not a game about traipsing off through fairy rings and interacting with the little people." - James Wyatt, "Races and Classes" (pg. 34) I play D&D wrong! ;)

What happened to the idea that 5e would have "dials" of complexity? Personally, I would dial combat back down to the "init/to hit/damage" level, as I run my game online and the number of die rolls, numbers, and adjustments often gets in the way of the story. My games are intentionally...

On a side note, I just read an article about Rutger Hauer joining the cast of True Blood. He looks like Jon Pertwee! link (okay, okay... he looks like the illegitimate lovechild of Jon Pertwee and Rod Stewart)

Behold, the Antikythera Mechanism

This. The first rule books should be a DMG, PH, MM, and World Builders Guide.Support for custom monsters, magics, and house rules should be a given from day 1.

To be fair, some of us are oceans. ;)
