    Was I wrong?

    It's an entirely new campaign. Also, just a note for those who said that one player's choice dictated the choices of the other two or that the player had a religion forced upon him. When the players and I were discussing new campaigns, the one involving the Triad (Tyr, Torm and Ilmater) was...

    Was I wrong?

    Thanks! Thanks to everyone who has posted comments and suggestions. Here are my responses to some of your questions: Yes, but I am going to severly limit them in my future games. I like giving my players options when making characters, but most of the time, they end up using the new...

    Was I wrong?

    Hello all, FYI, this is my first time doing something like (by that I mean posting here to get people’s opinions), so please gentle with me. After a recent TPK, my group (3 players and me, the DM) contemplated what we wanted to do next. One player found the Justiciar of Tyr (FR god of justice...

    Has anyone else seen this?

    Since I'm not on the 'net that much, I'm usually the last one to see things, but this made me laugh like I hadn't in a long time, and I had to share. Enjoy: http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=5395083952125133994 Dan Quincy, Mass.

    d20 Modern house rule - Feedback wanted!!

    Hi all, I’m going to be starting a new d20 Modern game soon, and I wanted to get some feedback on an idea I had for a house rule. The rule concerns death and dying, and it’s meant to counter balance another house rule I’m using that changes the benefit of wearing armor from an increase in...

    D&D terminology pet peeves

    While this isn't D&D, I felt LotR was still on-topic. My brother-in-law, even after seeing the movies multiple times, insists on pronouncing Moria "more-EYE-ah" I've given up trying to correct him, and instead, when he says it that way, I look for a thick wall to bang my head against ... Dan

    High Medieval?

    Hi all, Does anyone out there in EN World-land know anything about the High Medieval setting that's supposed to be out this month from Morrigan Press? I've been to their site, and even written them an e-mail, but I haven't heard anything more ... Dan

    Your first character

    1983. Basic D&D (box with dragon fighting a male and a female; sample character was Morgan Ironwolf [I don't know the artists or writers]). Magic-User named Gandalf. (I was 10.) :confused: Killed by the minotaur in Keep on the Borderlanders. The next two characters I created that day met...

    Low-level adventures?

    Thanks for the suggestions guys. I've looked into all of them, but I'm still having trouble. You see, the game I'm trying to run is fairly low-magic (use of magic is either time-consuming or has unfortunate consequenses), and most of the adventures suggested have a level of magic that is a...

    Low-level adventures?

    Hi all, I've just started a new 3.5 group, and I'm wondering if anyone knows any good low-level adventures to challenge the PCs. I've looked at Sunless Citadel and the Dungeon Crawl Classics line, but they don't have as much mystery/puzzle solving and NPC interaction as I would like. I really...

    Most Amusing Rule Misinterpretation?

    For the longest time in my first AD&D game (1st Edition game), we thought that clerics had to succeed in a "to hit" roll for a ranged weapon in order for a cure spell to work. Needless to say, a lot of trees and rocks around our PCs were quite healthy ;) Dan
