My last 3.5 campaign ended with the party at 22-23rd level. I wish I had planned it to end around 16-17th. In the players opinion, encounters seemed to skyrocket in difficulty after 19th. It was still pretty cool, headaches and all. :lol: -Q.

In no order: 1. 4E 2. Runequest 3rd (or maybe just Basic Roleplaying, I could wing CoC games with it) 3. Hero 5th 4. Traveller (Mongoose) 5. Paranoia -Q.

1. Psionics: Good or Bad? One of those things that read good, but my players on dabbled in it. 2. Tome of Battle: The antichrist or best thing that ever happened? My players turned their noses up at it. I did use it to create a few villanous NPCS 3. Fighter Sux: Yes or No? Yes, no fighter or...

I recently bought a ton of Dreamblade minis on the secondary market for cheap. I like them so much they have inspired me to create the first campaign for my redesigned homebrew for 4E. The Faceless King was the main inspiration (King in Yellow anyone). Stabbed myself in the thumb five times...

So in other words we're wasting our time and angst over something that can't be resolved. Good to know. -Q.

Willingham got a lot better over the years, for fantasy check out Ironwood... if you're 18 or older and don't object to sexually explicit material, otherwise please ignore :blush: -Q.

If there was a Nobel Peace Prize for the internet, I'd lobby the committee on Treebore's behalf. :) -Q.

One of my players is a wizard and decided from the moment we started playing 4E that her spells all manifested as a flaming blue/white psuedo dragon. When she flung a magic missile, it flew from here arms and attacked dissipating into sparks that reformed on her arm. When she cast mage hand it...

Players pay attention to what happens on other players rounds. Combat is fast enough to have 2-3 combats per session rather than one. -Q.

I'm worried about loosing my job, but I'm not sure how much difference the small amount I spend on gaming products would make if I were suddenly jobless. -Q.

Instead of just ankhegs you could use/describe them as giant termites, a nest could make an interesting surprise dungeon. A stampede of grazing animals along with the predators that caused it could also be good for a short encounter. The last time I did something like this it was in 8' high...

Very pleased with the book and the classes have my players excited. After we finish KotS and shift back to my refurbished homebrew I have a feeling I'll have a martial artist and a troubadour in the new group. Bravo Ari! -Q.

My last campaign ended in September after three years and six months. The players went from 1st to 22nd/23rd level. We played once a week for 3.5-5 hours a week with several month long breaks. I've been gaming for 28 years and counting all the more serious games I've played or GMd I'd say the...

Love: I'm enjoying every part of playing rather than dreading half of it. Hate: Lack of options, well play tested variety is the spice of gaming. -Q.

[/LIST] Depends on what you mean, finding out you're "useless" can cause a lot of drama, but not the kind anyone really wants at their table. "Real fantasy persons" reminds me of GURPs "realistic fantasy" setting. I'd grimace every time I saw that, Creating realistic, deep personalities is...

I allowed a 50% recovery chance on every shot used in an encounter in 3.5. We had an Order of the Bow Initiate and he never completely ran out, but there were several instances where he ran very low. He was careful about how he attacked and spent more time trying to gauge foes and decide where...

Falling off a step ladder can do the same thing. Falling off a dire step ladder would be brutal. -Q.

The first thing that occurred to me was a newspaper story I read earlier this year where a man had "Killed a bear with his bare hands to protect his son", or so the headline claimed. The details were less dramatic. The man and his son awoke to find a small black bear dragging a cooler full of...

I recall in several of the 3.0 books they reused art in the same book as fillers and breaks. It was also pretty common for art from Dragon magazine to pop up in a number of 2ed products. I suppose in some cases they may have commissioned art and then decided it was inferior to pieces in their...

In my home brew all immortals, including the gods, are bound by the chains of fate. Power comes with a price and like Doctor Manhattan in Watchmen they often find their actions dictated by cosmic order (or even worse, they are simply spectators). Only mortals like the PCs have real choice and...
