Zogg's Post: Uh....I'm all about the storytelling aspect of the adventure. But as for the 'story' that involves a craftsman....what's to tell? "I, Melgor, am a craftsman from the trade district of Waterdeep. I've grown under the tutelage of Balgor my father, who learned the trade from his...

Hi everyone, We are starting a FR game, and I decided I wanted to play a CG pubescent male elven gypsy. I would like to know what skills and feats anyone thinks would be essential to a contortionist character. Also, to DMs, how would you DM this attack situation: I would like to attempt to...

When they befriended Meepo and took up the quest to get the dragon back, I rolled up a random magic item openly for the two PCs and Meepo. The PCs got some scrolls or something, but Meepo got some magic full plate. We thought it was so funny, because the plate was: Armor of Slickness (coated in...

My friends and I want to play a swashbuckling campain. We are also HUGE movie buffs. I would like to compile a list of swashbuckling movies. Any suggestions? Off the top of my head: Errol Flynn's Robin Hood Robin Hood: Men in Tights The Princess Bride Thanks for all your help. Patrick

If you wanted to know what I concidered to be a "detailed gamer," well Cedric is grade A number one. If you don't think D&D can be set up to do something like a coffee plantation, then maybe the DM doesn't have enough imagination or doesn't have access to a board full of wonderfully picky people...

Yes. I had an emotional experience just the other day. Going into all the details would be too lengthy and no one would read it to the end, so here is the short of it... My character Balak, a young wise but naive boy, with the help of his sister and village friend (the other PCs) and numerous...

I'm a RL friend of Arravis, but I don't play in his epic game. Again, we are a group of gamers that live off details. So, the more details the better. I'm really posting though to say that I think that if you've made it to epic level and have aquired all that you have, you deserve to dump a...

MatLab baby! Oh yeah, Numion is in the know. Nice Monte Carlo simulation, Numion. ;-) Okay, I'm sorry to say but there is NOT a single equation to determine what you would like accurately. It really isn't all that difficult to write a code to solve your problem numerically though if it has a...

I found this LINK that you might like instead of writting your own.LINK Patrick

I am an aerospace engineer, so here's my input... First off, dice do not a gaussian distribution, they are a rectangular distribution. No matter what anyone says, you are equally as likely to roll a 1 on a d20 as you are as rolling a 10 (assuming the die was PERFECT). So, for a single die...

Playing over chat would be easy, I feel. We are both really fast typers and I don't mind him rolling real dice; he would play along well. The idea of playing over email seems difficult though. :-/ Patrick

Hi everyone, A friend of mine is recently married and has a baby. He's stuck at home a lot and sometimes is up at all hours of the night. He's been missing playing D&D. I was talking to him about it, and I said that maybe I could DM a solo game over email for him to play until he can come...

In my experience, many people don't use it, but D&D does allow for the caster classes to be just as common as fighter classes. Standard infanty would probably be made up of non-classes warriors, but if you had a well trained army, you would first think to make them out of trained fighters. But...

I'm DMing the Sunless Citadel Module for two friends of mine, one of which is a veterain DM. I've come to a point where I feel I want to deviate and start doing something different. I'm trying to decide if that is the best thing for me or not. I want to be a good DM in the long run. Should I...

I have a friend in Birmingham Alabama that has been playing the same first edition campaign with mostly the same friends that started when they were in college about one year after Dungeons and Dragons came out. :eek: Patrick

I'm not the person to give you advice on this particular subject. In fact, I'm not exactly sure what you are having specific problems with, but I'm new at DMing also and I'm running Sunless right now myself. I have been really unsatisfied every time we have played up until yesterday when they...

Alcohol is absolutely out of the question. No one else need suggest it again. Second, I know it isn’t just the character. All her character actions are in character and good role playing, but her conversations, or the lack of, are out of character and consistent from character to character. She...

Hi everyone, I have a really creative sharp player at my table, but she's very shy and quiet when it comes to things like talking to NPCs. I've seen her play a few characters now and it is a real trend. My group and I do a lot of RP, and I'm worried that she isn't getting as much out of the...

This post goes out to MeepoTheMighty... I'm a new poster on here, but one of my friends, Arravis, has been posting here for a year now. I'm an intermediate player and a new DM. I'm running a module called The Sunless Citadel. In it, my players have just encountered the Kobold clan and have...

Hello everyone, I’ve been playing D&D for only a few years now. Really only have experience with 3rd edition. A friend of mine frequently posts on your board here. He is a very experienced player and DM, and he told me to ask all of you for advice. We started a game a few months ago. It is...
