    Dragonkard... what do you think?

    I don't understand how something like this product could hope to compete with... 3x5 cards. Small, compact, well established... :p

    2E: How critical hits breathed life back into Giants

    I distinctly remember a low level wizard getting charged by a minotaur (random encounter), the wizard won initiative and launched.... a dagger. We were using Combat & Tactics. The dagger pierced the beast's brain via an eye. "Insta kill x3 dmg" or something like that. Made that mage oh so...

    What heroes games are there?

    I've been meaning to run a low-powered Supers campaign that utilizes M&M with another system as its main. Such as d20 Modern or even Eberron D&D. The idea being that PCs choose up to X points in flaws... and buy thier powers (subject to level = PL?) with those few points. My prefered campaign...

    Take Two: Testing The Correlation Between Class Preference And 4E Love/Hate

    I enjoy most classes. It'd be alot easier to type which I dislike... two prime examples being the bard and paladin. I loathe 4e.

    wolverine race(btw im new)

    We're talking "Wolverine" here. Balance doesn't enter into that equation. But, yeah, any "sensible DM" bans both Feral & Mineral Warrior (and Shadow Creature, and Dark, and...). I don't happen to game with "sensible DMs" though.

    wolverine race(btw im new)

    My D&D "Wolverine" Anthromorphic Wolverine (savage species) - awesome stat mods, rage when hit, ignore or trade out the bite for... perhaps another skill bonus?). 2 HD & LA +2 Mineral Warrior (Underdark) - DR 8 / adamantine, decent stat mods. LA +1 Feral (savage species) - enhanced speed...

    Was there a real need for a fourth ed.? Or would tweaking 3.5 have done it for you?

    I still run and play D&D 3e ("3.75e"). I have absolutely no interest in 4e, not that its a bad game. It just doesn't feel "D&D" to me. I have played it, and it is fun. But for D&D, I'll stick to 3e. If 4e had been a major cleaning up (fixing minor flaws, tweaking classes, etc) of 3e, I...

    Have you seen an Aboleth in game?

    Yes, from both sides of the DM Screen. Aboleths are in my top 10 favorite monsters to use as BBEGs.

    "Super Gestalt"

    Uber Gestalt is something I've refered to as "Tri-stalt". Until recently it had only been discussed... my niece has a Cleric | Rogue | Swordsage. She is soloing through Shackled City. What would my Uber Gestalt consist of? Jeez... lemme get back to you on that. Later: Archivist | Psion |...

    Your Second Love

    Interesting question. For my sanity, I had to split this into "now and then" Now~ (since 3e's release, more or less) 1) D&D 3.75 (3.5 + house rules) 2) Starwars d20 (SAGA ed) 3) Mutants & Masterminds 4) Malls & Morons (d20 version... I don't fully grok the new version) 5) d20 Modern Then~...

    What class are you least likely to play in 4e?

    Wizard. 4e killed the wizard and gave us a warlock-clone in its place. Perhaps 5e will bring the wizard back.

    What do you want WOTC to release as the next 4e campaign setting?

    Planescape. Best of 2e. Edit: ...of those listed... Dark Sun. Honorable mention: I'd like to see WotC release Rich Burlew's setting (he was 2nd or 3rd place in the competition that Rich Baker won with Eberron, right?). These would be the first and quite possibly only 4e books I would own.

    ninja/shadowdancer build.

    Dark (LA 1 template) + rogue + swordsage (focus on Shadow Hand). Hide in plain sight is vastly superior to invisibility (see invis is too easy to get)

    Vampires, Pop Culture, and Your Game

    I like my vampires Evil (not diet-evil, and certainly not misunderstood). I prefer a mix of "The Aristocratic" and the "Cold War".

    PCs switching bodies

    I just pictured the big brutish barbarian (awesome physical, poor mental) and the stuffy bookish wizard (poor physical, awesome mental) changing bodies. All of a sudden you have a PC with all bad stats, and one who is godlike. "How'd you end up with all 16-18s again"?

    Did You Ever Have a Group Disintegrate and Start Killing Each Other?

    CHAMPIONS - after months of play, the heroes face off against the BBEG... Magneto. Magneto offers to share power with those of us who would join him. Party fractures on the spot. Near-TPK.... only survivor "The Black Paladin" (his superhero name should've been our first clue) who sided with...
