    Genre Conventions: What is fantasy?

    While I am generally hesitant to agree with administrative authorities I have to give the Library of Congress the thumbs-up :p I was looking for a good definition when I saw that link and for my taste they are pretty much spot on, generally. Sure, someone will always be able to find novels and...

    teflon billy is a biased reviewer

    To the original poster I have to say that a review that doesnt include personal opinions of the product is about as useless as it can get. Without a personal point of view of the reviewed product the one person looking for advice for/against the product would never get an impression whether the...

    How to know your DM’s a Rat Bastard:

    89. Players hold onto their char sheets like the last straw before they panick 90. Constant paranoia at the table, you trust no one, not even your own party 91. After an oponent escapes the party will constantly watch their six in fear of revenge 92. The party organizes a watch at night..be it...

    How to cope with only 2 players

    How about the good old way of giving the players more than one character, NPCs or additional PCs, doesnt matter. That is, if they agree to that kind of gameplay. I had 3 players once in a group and the NPC/multiple PC method worked quite good. There were even times where the secondary PC (or...

    Definition of roleplaying... Help!

    Roleplaying: Table-top game where some folks sit together, create a character and walk through a dungeon to solve puzzles, riddles, surive traps, beat monsters to pulp and get some good loot. One of the players acts as the "dungeon", the rest tries to survive it. If you try to explain the...

    Castles & Crusades...not sure about it

    To use Turanils post and expand it I think that in D&D the rogue is more of a second assist front line fighter than a thief. I read time and again about the "damage dealer" rogue class, which is something I do not really understand. But perhaps this shift in the class is the reason people think...

    Castles & Crusades...not sure about it

    I actually like how the thief is handled in C&C. In 3E they became nothing less than warriors with lesser HPs and Dex based abilities. Something I never liked at all. Sure, if your games is based purely on combat I can understand that the combat-heavy 3E thief would be a welcomed addition to...

    Tell me about C&C

    This is my opinion: C&C is a ruleset built entirely from a fast gameplay point-of-view, and its basis is the D20 system with some reference and hommage to older editions of D&D. This has nothing to do with nostalgia but with a different kind of gameplay compared to 3E. The creators abandoned...

    Show us your dice!

    Cool, I didnt know that there are now 16mm metal dice. They only had 12mm back when I've bought my set. Too bad they are currently out of stock though :/ A set of 16mm steel dice would be quite nice. Thanks for the link :D

    Show us your dice!

    I only made a pic of those dice I still play with. The others are not worthy to have a picture taken of them because they have failed me at one time or the other in the past. Now they have to dwell in the dark until they have paid for their deeds. The copper ones are those I use the most...

    WotC's Head to head monster match! Vote for your favorite!

    the number of PCs that have fallen to a gelatinous cube is probably a gazillion times higher than that of a Tarrasque. So....Go cube, smash'em all!

    Defeating a D&D god

    IMC gods cannot be killed. The only way to "remove" them would be to ban then into a place they cannot escape, chain them to a place or freeze them into a huge block of ice. They are not dead, just "Sorry, the boss is currently out of the office". So, I would go the greek way. Greek mythology...

    So... What have you heard about the Dungeons & Dragons Online game?

    Up to now there has been no software company that got the rules right in their computer games. Neither SSI nor Troika or Bioware. But thats mainly because you cannot really translate PnP rules into a CRPG. Even 3E, which was initially praised to have the best rules suited for computer games has...
