I dont think Mini's are the next big thing. I Think they are selling well now but I dont think they are going to cause a Magic the Gathering or Pokemon like surge. Miniatures have been around for years (as long as D&D if im not mistaken) in some form or another. I personally think they are more...

I have had to point out things to players as "the Line" before. Usually when I have created an adventure and they have managed (despite all of my efforts to redirect them without railroading) to avoid every possible point to gain XP. I warn them that they might not be powerful enough and that...

It was suprisingly good. Good information. The Dragon Pacts are neat. As someone who tries to get every book, I wasnt really looking forward to this product but it turns out to be one of the better ones this year. Way better that the usless Cityscape, One book for which I had high hopes.

Mysteries.

If Im Dming we play at my house. One on my friends lives close to twenty minutes away and we occassionally go out there. I dont drive (Never was able to pass the test), but my sisters fiance goes to oand he has to come here to pick her up so I get a ride. If I did drive a half hour would be...

All but one of my players prefers the complicated games. I as a Dm prefer the complicated games. And I never had understood why it takes people so long to come up with a game (Either in Prep time or in Story). In my experience older gamers or younger gamers who grew up playing older games tend...

More of a Guideline and Art. I never messed wtih the EL either. I understand it, it's just more work that doesnt really do anything for the game except confuse the players.

In my last FR game there was a Demigod that the PC's had to kill. She was trying to take over from another dimension. They won but not after a casulty. Ive always been interested in a God game, I could just never come up with a good idea for why your playing or killing the Gods (Not some lowly...

I prefer to think that most monsters just dont have the numbers (Or the desire to even enter our territory) to overwhelm a common human community. That and they have natural predators that keep them in line in their own environment.

yeah when i saw the Epic versions of some Netheril 10th level Plus spells i was like "With those Spellcraft DC's who could cast them?" Seriously while I understand WOTC Forgotten Realms reasoning for Epic spells, what about Greyhawk or Eberron. Where are their 10th level + spells? Surely they...

Nobody can sell out. Only survive. If D&D had stayed the way it was way back in the day it would no longer exist as being as popular as it is today. When something cannot adapt it dies. When something needs to survive it adapts and becomes more of what its environment demands of it. Currently...

A little. I dont tend to do anime style games, but I do get the occasional inspiration from a descent idea (see record of lodoss war or the Scrapped princess). The one thing that has invaded my game and im making a real attempt to end it, is new players or younger players trying to copy and i do...

to avoid fighting i say my peace and usually dont check back (which is why ive been a memeber since 2003 and dont even have 200 posts). ive said some jerky things in the past, though most might not remember them (here or at circvus Maximus) but i just say whatever i have to say and leave. cause...

Heres the best thing about 3.5e you can do all those things and you dont even need a new edition to do it or some "fix". Dont like all the skills, plenty of other d20 games use simple skill lists. Dont like the Classes? Change them. It's that simple. Personally i like the game the way it is...

There was an edition skirmish at my place last saturday between the majority of the group and our resident OD&D player who plays 3e to have something to do. I wont go into extreme details but lets just say he came in a poor mood about 3e or my Dming style (of which only he and like one other...

Honestly nothing. D&D in it's current incarnation for me is almost perfect. Truly, it doesnt have enough options or rules.

Does it really even matter?

Well i got to say im Pretty lucky, i think my group only missed maybe 4 sessions out of the 52 week year and that doesnt include the non-saturday games we played. And sessions last about 4-6 hours average, and we are in the habit of playing another game after mine on sat's which adds to the time...

I said Bards dont suck they, people dont play them right. Though to be honest they are the worst class in the game, but in the right hands could be very good. Too bad in my group the only people who like playing bards are in fact crappy players in the descisions they make.

Personally 3e has enough variants and options to make your own 4th edition. I think enough people have enough ambition to do what WOTC will try and sell us with 4e, and we all know what we want more than they do. Personally 3.5 is fine and when a 4e comes i will only buy Forgotten Realms or...
