No. I think the reason the original NWN was popular because it was one of the first MMORPGs and it was somewhat expensive. So you had a very small community doing something cutting edge. Community is 80% of the fun (the rest I'd put into mechanics, the game is no fun if your broadsword acts...

I dunno. Obviously buff everyone with anti-cold spells. But I think you have the idea. Have one cleric on healing duty and the other on Destruction duty. Does anyone have any spells to lower the creature's resistances?

What about one of those really large seahorses that Aquaman used to zip about on? Or maybe a huge pirrannah.

Biggus' Spell of Not-Me Slaying Conjuration (Creation) [Death] Level: Sor/Wiz 9, War 9, Geek 1 Components: V Casting Time: 1 action Range: Close (25 ft. + 5 ft./2 levels) Target or Area: One living creature or one or more creatures within a 15-ft.-radius sphere Duration: Instantaneous Saving...

For a cinematic game that sticks to "da r00lz" why not take a page from d20 Modern and use action points? Personally, I don't think D&D needs them in general but you coul always restrict their use. To wit.... * Each character gains 5 + (1/2 level) action points. They automatically refresh at...

OUTSTANDING! Best of luck to both of you!

We're sort of doing that. Our group is finishing up levels 1-8 and from there we'll be moving on to 13-15 and finding out how our actions impacted the world.

For my money there's nothing wrong with a good old fashioned war. The only trick is to plan it so that the war doesn't start until around 13th - 15th level. If you're planning things out: 1-3 standard adventures: core rules, or "core setting" rules. Don't get fancy, the players are still...

That link is the work of the Devil, Kengar. But to answer the original question, I think it's just a case of filling archetypes that are common in folklore and stories.

I'm not sure about radio. The dork demographic is pretty widespread. We tend to be 18-35 and male and there the similarites end. Didn't the industry survey reveal that the majority of the purchases were made by guys around 30? But, yeah, websites are a must. Incidentally, I'll pimp my FLGS...

Fiction - The hero discovers a ring with occult runes inscribed on it. He wears it as a trophy of his kill and moves on Gaming - The hero discovers a ring with occult runes inscribed on it. He then tries to fly, sees if he's harder to hit in combat, attempts to wish for money, tries to turn...

One of the islands has an active volcano that erupts and acts as a gateway to the para-elemental plane of magma. Magma-men invade the island. Players can fight the magma-men all the way to their Magma-bossguy or strike up an alliance with a lord of the para-elemental plane of steam.

It's a sci-fi MMORPG. Is it fun? Other than setting issues, how is the gameplay compared to NWN, DAoC, or EQ?

Morrowind is wacky. You level up faster as you gain power because your skills are higher and you suceed more. I'm having fun, but it is a little wacky. NWN is very fun but the single-player campaign is very hack-n-slash make no mistake. That being said, the online community has made ports...

Relics and Rituals 1 is a good book. But I really didn't come away from it with a clear "feeling" for the SL. I really wish there was a centralized setting book. Does their website have a downloadable "Introduction to the SL" or something like that? That would be groovy.

*sigh* I admit we don't. This is one area where CRPGs rock. But the best spell visual, IMHO, is Meteor Swarm from Planecape: Torment.

I'm actually a little worried that WotC will "overcorrect" the ranger in 3eRevised. But I'm one of the guys who thinks the ranger is fine as is.

They've been active in the past. Ryan Dancy made a number of very good points on threads several months ago, but it can be a little hard retyping the same points over and over. It's the nature of message boards that new people will come on and discuss topics that have already been covered in...

Excellent point. The cost of RPGs has actually decreased over the years. The third edition books are also larger, more text and all that.

http://thesaurus.reference.com/search?q=enchanted Obviously some of the above do not apply to RPGs. But that should get you started. -BG PS they also seem to have forgotten "Glamoured".
