    Homebrew vs. Premade Campaign Worlds

    I have been wondering how many people actually invent their own worlds or who uses a premade campaign world? I was also wondering if people only used part or most of the campaign world stuff out there? Also what determines your decision on matter? Do you not like the current offering of...

    Status Quo vs. Designed Encounters

    I was reading the DMG. Yes, I know one should not read it cover to cover, but I am doing it anyways. Never done it before. Never really had the time. Plus, after reading CoC d20 I felt that Monte had enough good things to say in that book that I should try to read the stuff he has to say...

    So does everyone use different DC's then the ones that are listed? Do you make them up? Ie well, since a DC of 25 is too easy for them, lets make it 35 instead? How do you guys handle this case? I have ran two campaigns of d20 and am going to start up another one. Have played in a bunch of...

    But, I have seen it with even third level characters, not maximum stats. I had a fifth level bard I was playing and with skill focus and ranks and 16 CHA, I honestly don't remember all the pluses that were going on. Oh yeah, had a mastercraft flute, would roll 25-30 on a regular basis. That...

    Does anyone else have this problem and what do they do with it. A first level halfling thief can get up to +11 bonus to move silently and Hide. +5 for Dex(20), +4 Ranks, +2 Halfling bonus, plus they can take feats that help this even more. I have found this to be true about certain skills...

    Spot a Class skill

    I have currently ran d20 with Spot being a class skill. I am beginning to question my decision on this. I am starting a new campaign up and thinking of putting it back to the way it is in the PHB. I am just curious some other people's idea on this subject. Back in 1st and 2nd edition I...

    Bump the Quota I have the same idea as java. I would love to pay for the site, but I would like to have more people be able to be on the message boards over those other features you mentioned. I would definately contribute to such an endeavor. That is just my 2 cents. Shouit

    Gen Con Event Sales Go Live April 26 at WWW.GenConGameFair.com

    Well, I guess this is where the discussion is. I was wondering how do you know which events are good and which are bad? Do you just pick and hope for the best? Any advice here? Also, I noticed that you have had to purchase badges in order to sign up for events. I bought two badges as a...

    GAMING FRONTIERS: A $20 magazine! Are they nuts?

    I am one that has thought about picking it up a time or two and will most likely break down and try it. I have no gaming store where I live, save B&N and other big name book retailers. Therefore I order mine all from www.nobleknight.com. But, that is neither here or there, but it is to state...

    [OT] What is WRONG with people?

    This reminds me of when I was in high school. I was the fat kid, I was tall, but I was fat. I was either ignored or belittled all through it. Even what I was 21, I went to the bars with friends and people picked on me. That seen in Nutty Prof, where that guys makes fun of the Professor was...

    Spycraft and OGL

    I got my copy of Spycraft, which is awesome BTW. And it has the typical OGL agreement, and all that jazz. But on the back cover, it says that it requires the PHB in order to use this book. I also have Wheel of Time as well as Cthulu which don't require the PHB, specifically stating that on...

    Sorry man.:( Without trying to be nosy, but what did the note say? Did she list off the reasons she left, did she just say goodbye? Hopefully she gave reasons and didn't just leave you hanging with no answers. :confused: People sometimes do the strangest things. I am sorry that happened.
