I remember finding one of these booklets on a grocery store shelf when I was in grade school (that's mainly how they distributed them, by leaving them in public places where people would come across them). I was already into RPGs and thought it was the funniest and most insulting thing I had...

Dragons in my world do not talk, cast spells, or have spell-like abilities. Their intelligence level is equivalent to that of a clever predator; think of the velociraptors from the film Jurassic Park. Like many of the more intelligent beasts out there, they have the capacity to be cruel...

No dungeons larger than 20 rooms. I'd prefer no dungeons at all, but I know that's asking too much.

Dragons in my campaign world don't cast spells. Therefore, a book about Dragon Magic has no place in my campaign. I pass.

Weapon Drill? Martial arts kata is basically Weapon Drill for unarmed strike.

I'm currently playing a swashbuckler/fighter (2/2). Going to multiclass into duelist once my BAB is high enough, stay there until my duelist levels equal my Int bonus (+4) for the AC modifier, and then I'll switch back to swashbuckler/fighter for the rest of my career. A lot of my feats are...

Our gaming table is a coffee table. It is basically a big wooden box with some drawers in it. I think they keep boardgames and stuff in the drawers, I'm not sure. This is the first table that's been involved in this particular group's gaming in several years. We used the dining room table...

I once played in a game where one player, through a combination of ignorance and sheer pigheadedness, managed to burn down a quarter of the city our characters were running (he was the head of the church, while I was the lord mayor). I don't remember what happened to his character, but mine...

The Order of the Broken Chain (Shackled City campaign): Male Human Warlock 4 Female Human Cleric of Ehlonna 4 Male Human Rogue 4 Female Half-Elven Fighter 4 Male Drow Swashbuckler 2/Fighter 2 (that's me! I had to play the freak. :) ) Female Bard 4

I'll say! Whoever heard of a half-orc cleric? :p

I think the best example of the damage metaplot can do to a game is seen in White Wolf's old World of Darkness lines--Vampire, Werewolf, et al. WW painted themselves into a corner and were faced with a tough decision: either deliver on the apocalypse, thus ending the games as we know them, or...

I can't speak for the current edition, but GURPS used to have a magic system very similar to this. Most spells were a part of a chain: first you learn how to light a candle, then a torch, then a campfire, then a bonfire, then a wall of fire, and then a fireball. The downside was that, since...

What he said. :)

A dwarf who doesn't have a Scottish accent. A drow that isn't an angst-monkey. A gnome that isn't so obnoxious I want to rip off his head and :) :) :) :) down his neck. A halfling that is chubby, loves creature comforts, and has hairy feet.

I'd play the Sailor Moon RPG if the gamemaster was of acceptable skill! Of course, my definition of "acceptable" may be a little higher than most....

I recently did something fairly stupid that could easily have ended in a TPK. Our party was hired to find some children who had gone missing from the city. During the course of our investigations, we had discovered that the kidnappers took the children to their base deep underneath the city...

While a fencer may be against type for paladins (who are usually seen as knights in shining armor), there's nothing to say it would be a suboptimal choice for the character, especially in a swashbuckling campaign. A barbarian fencer, on the other hand....

Perhaps there are cybernetics in the world, and sometimes people go overboard with the implants and go berserk, and the only thing that can take them down (aside from another cyborg) is a cop in a powersuit? If not cybernetics, then perhaps some kind of drug which turns its users into...

The atmosphere of Eberron seems to be one of freedom and opportunity. The Last War is over (for now), and suddenly it is safe to travel between countries again. Businessmen are free to establish contacts and make deals with citizens of "enemy" countries without worrying about being branded a...
