    Monte Cook - you've gone and done it now!

    The BCD is great and I've already put it into my campaign.

    (Mongoose) EN World Gamer Issue 1 - Out Now!

    I contacted Joseph and he straightened me out. All hail the customer service at Goodman Games! And check out the Complete Guide to Beholders, about 2/3rds through it and I predict it will be much fun for my players.

    (Mongoose) EN World Gamer Issue 1 - Out Now!

    Thanks for the reply, for some reason I had it in my head that the new mag would pick up our subscriptions.

    EN World Player's Guide Will this mag be sent to people (like me) who have outstanding issues left from their subscription to the EN World Player's Guide?

    Two Person Board Games?

    Battlecry (American Civil War) and Memoir '44 (World War II). Both my wife and I love them. She is neither role-player, video gamer, or war gamer. The scenerios can be played in an evening. War Game Lite.

    When the DMs interpretation of alignment differs from the players

    My alignment definitions also differ with parts of what is described in the PH, and it has led to "discussions" . . . but in the end do it how you see it, let the players know how you see it, and then rule on it consistently. We've thrown out the basic alignment system in our game. Humans...

    Evil Campaigns

    I played in a very successful evil campaign last year. No character deaths, made it to 13th level--retired the campaign because on of the players decided to hang up his greatsword. We all (4 of us) played genuinely bad people with dark backgrounds and the distrust/hatred/jealously factor was...

    Gaming with limited time

    I just repeat what most people have said on gaming with limited time so I won't bore you. Over the past ten years I've played with a lot of people I've met through the boards at my local gaming store(s)--somewhere around 15+ people. Save for one there were always problems with these other...

    What are you best at in an RPG?

    Show Me the Money I'm best at spending gobs of money on minis, terrain, books, dice, food, etc. I even buy extra player handbooks of whatever game we're running so we'll have enough to go around. This lets me be a big jerk and get away with it, or I'll threaten to take my ball home. I can...

    What character generation method do you use?

    We use to use 4d6, arrange in any order during 1E, 2E, and the first few 3E campaigns. Now we use a 32 point buy as it eliminates roll fudging. There are just some people you can't trust, and it seems they always play a rogue or paladin. However, one of the most enjoyable games I was ever in...

    Help buying a monsterbook

    I'd suggest Monsternomicon, Creature Collection 2, Tome of Horrors (I don't have ToH2 yet so I don't know how it stacks up). I did not like Creature Collection 1 and I didn't see much in 3 that either. I also love Armies of the Abyss and Legions of Hell (now collected in The Book of Fiends)...

    R U Playing?

    My group is not playing d20 Modern. We aren't playing it because: 1) Our main staple is high-fantasy d20, which usually means D&D. 2) We take breaks from high-fantasy with games such as Spycraft and Mutants & Masterminds which we haven't come close to getting bored of yet. 3) Other genres...

    Game Prep - For Players?

    That is the minimum of what he should be doing to help the game run smoothly. If he can't handle that it might be time for him to move into a less stressing game, perhaps Chutes and Ladders would be more his speed. On the other hand, this may be his way of saying that the sessions are...

    190 NPCs followers for a level 7 party.

    Dang double posts.

    190 NPCs followers for a level 7 party.

    I've done this in the past (like 10 years or so ago) where it was the PC's ship and they enlisted a crew. I can't remember how many crew members there were, I think around 30. I auto stated them using the old 2nd edition generator and gave them random names. If the party ever interacted with...

    Terrain

    Cardstock is ok but I've found the printing and assembly takes a lot of time for a piece that doesn't hold up real well when assualted by angry dice and the 6-beer barbarian. However, making buildings and castles this way is really fast compared to molds. Dwarven Forge is great is you have a...

    Does anyone still play 3.0e?

    Still playing 3E. We had mostly corrected the things we didn't like by the time 3.5 came around and didn't have a compelling reason to switch. We are playing Arcana Unearthed at the moment, which is more 3E anyway. But if you're thinking about making a switch to 3.5, go for it, just make sure...

    Neil Gaiman wins suit against McFarlane

    All I remember is how I loved reading Spidey when McFarlane was the artist, but not the writer. After he took over the story elements I kept reading it but it just sucked so bad I dropped it after a few issues. I don't know about his ego but his writing was horrid.

    Mutants & Masterminds Character Gen Time?

    I just bought two extra copies of the rulebook and had the players share it as they made up their characters a few weeks in advance. A lot easier than using one book at a table for 6 hours, we used that time to play D&D.

    [Polyhedron] FEAR...the start of a good minigame?

    As soon as I saw it I thought more supers than modern. I plan on stealing the basic outline for inclusion in my next M&M campaign
