Eberron. I keep hearing good things about it that make me interested, but I just can't bring myself to buy it. Not because of any perceived flaws, but because I know I'd never get to use it fully as a setting. Our current DMs have either created their own worlds or use Greyhawk or the Forgotten...

In one campaign I can definitely say they do. The DM told us to chose an amount that would represent our monthly upkeep like so: * Self-sufficient: 2 gp/month. You live like a common laborer. * Meager: 5 gp/month. Slightly better than that. * Poor: 12 gp/month * Common: 45...

bleeecch! That so turned my stomach that I can no longer read this thread. :p BTW, from Dictionary.com: v. corned, corn·ing, corns v. tr. 1. To cause to form hard particles; granulate.

What a coincidence! We are starting a new D&D game and I'm trying to decide this very thing. Oddly, as a player I find I don't care what level we start at, but as a DM I'm having a tough time. I think it's mostly because I have two different ideas for starting the campaign, one with the...

So, the TV show on dragons reminded me of a book I saw, but didn't read, many, many years ago. I'm not sure if the author was serious or not (I was a gullible kid), but he claimed to have met dragons hiding in the artic and the book contained photographs (similar to the hazy shots of Bigfoot)...

SHHHHHHHHH! One of the guys in our primary group already wants to web cam our regular game sessions. Now I'm going to have to sweep the house for bugs!

ME ME ME! Well, at least for the first session. I was hoping I'd get to run something sooner rather than later. :D

But in the same vein, even if one character dies, you can always make another and continue playing - or, if the means are available, you can have the character resurrected/restored. Of course, there are exceptions to this, too. But back to the original question, I guess I don't have a problem...

Thanks for the words of encouragement and alternate snarkiness - I wouldn't have called the thread "No Boys Allowed" if I wasn't prepared for the unoriginal jokes. :) You know, we decided to try having our own group not because we think our other group is lacking, but because it's refreshing...

Hey all! Anyone know if this (WotC) book similar to the Artifacts of the Ages series the Game Mechanics put out? The description on their site has me intrigued (rituals for unlocking power, feats, etc.), and I love the idea of unique items with history - I guess I'd just love to learn a little...

Cal, rock on! That site kills me. On another tangent, I once had a dream that I started a game publishing company called "d20 Kitten." Do you think it's a sign?

Going slightly off-topic, the article mentions that Age of Wyrms is the next adventure path. Anyone heard anything about this one?

Actually, if they play the characters they usually play it would be: a lunatic barbarian a cleric (deity/type varies) a sneaky rogue-type a sorcerer-fighter or swashbuckler type some kind of smart character with a lot of lore/knowledge skills The DM The gender varies and isn't particularly...

Romance?! Bleck! The girls would lynch me. ;)

Well, which of the PrCs fits his personality best? Does he have any particular personal goals or desires? Has anything interesting happened in his past (met an NPC from the PrC organization, for example) that might influence his decision? Otherwise, I'd say go with his specialty and go with one...

LOL! Thank you! :D

I am so proud! Including myself, we have 6 girls in our group. We started talking over email today about gaming and decided to start our own Yahoo Group just for us girls. The conversation has turned to "branching off" our regular group for our own, girls-only game. This would be only a pick-up...

Sometimes for ease of play, the DM may give us a point or two like those above (for example, all characters are from the same town), but usually the DMs in our group let us hash it out or get creative when we create wildly different characters. As a player, I don't think it would be a bad idea...

Hello all! One thing I plan to do is run the Shackled City adventure path. I loved the first few adventures, but then I noticed that some of the later adventures took a turn that I didn't really like - they're not terrible, just not to my taste. I know that Dungeon plans on another adventure...

I think so. Last year they put in a few extra comics, but I don't think the articles were humorous (or, depending on one's opinion of the writing, not intentionally so).
