    tell me about your non-D&D campaign (a semi-poll)

    Outside of D&D, I run 7th Sea original Roll and Keep system,very excellent game, and for any of you who are into swashbuckling action, this game has it in spades. I'm generaly not anti-d20, but I don't think the Swashbuckling Adventures version wasn't a very faithful conversion and muddled the...

    Fighter problems

    Well, with feats like greater whirl wind attack, and combat reflexes, a fighter can set itself up to take out quite a few foes itself. I had a 4th Level rouge/5th level Wizard, with a high dex and combat reflexes that easly took out 20+ orcs (granted its a low hitdie beasty) just from attacks of...

    World's Largest Dungeon?

    Hah! Well, I'm all for a good mocking, unfortunately there was no spare hundred. If there was, it would have been bought then and there. Perhaps, I would have even tried to get you to ruin yet another pen by signing it. Unfortunatly, as I said then I was like 20 short. Going to Gen Con was sort...

    World's Largest Dungeon: And the verdict is?

    I think the biggest draw to it for me is, that I can use it for pick up games. Any time only half group show up for our regular game or what not, everyone can all sit down and just have a good time with an old fashion dungeon crawl and not feel like they wasted a trip or what not. Also, on the...

    World's Largest Dungeon?

    Hey Jim, I was one of those you heckled while glancing around at it. I unfortunately didn't have quite enough at gen con, otherwise I would have. I was sort of hoping that maybe there was a 20% off coupon or something in the bags you get at the door, but noo just a free t-shirt. *sigh* =P Oh...

    How to paint plastic?

    If you are just modifying a prepainted plastic, I wouldn't suggest using primer at all. Just paint the mini the way you want, and spray it with either a matte or gloss sealant. Let the first coat of sealant dry, and then spray again. That should protect it enough.

    Conan or Elric?

    Ok... I really don't want to derail this thread. So I ask for apologies in advance, and will say I'll let this topic die here. I was originaly going to write a lengthly post.. but its not really worth it. I will say you are woefully underestimating Dave Arneson's role, which it would seem most...

    Advice on Opening a Game Store

    She may want to consider some things like setting room aside with a couple of computers. Sort of like a cybercafe, where people can rent time to use the internet a bit (research for school, grab stuff off the wotc site, and such), or play a few online games, etc.. Something to bring in a little...

    Conan or Elric?

    Just one hand among many who has made D&D what it is today.

    Conan or Elric?

    Thats not entirely true... sure the first inspiration came from Conan, but Forgotten Realms was partialy inspired by Moorcock's work. When Ed Greenwood first concieved the Realms he based part of the original patheon on the gods of Elric's world... Arioch before it became a published setting was...

    Conan or Elric?

    Elric was quite the ladies man, though he usualy just ended up killing or betraying them at some point. =P However, with stormbringer at full effect, Conan probably wouldn't be near as strong as Elric to simply wrestle it away from him. If he did though, I think Stormbringer would just kill...

    The "I'm going to get hit no matter what my AC is" philosphy

    Sounds like your character could use Karmic Strike from the complete warrior, especialy if he has combat reflexes.

    How FAST should he turn evil? (Updated 2/9)

    I don't think the fact of what she does with the Souls counts. I mean, thats sort of like saying smoking funds terrorism, so everyone who smokes is Evil because they fund terrorists (A bit extremist I know). Again though, thats just my thoughts. I just think what her intentions are, shouldn't...

    How FAST should he turn evil? (Updated 2/9)

    I could see that if the character was already Evil, as "showing their true colors" implies. I mean, that sort of pushes the envolope a bit, in what determines Evil. We all make lapses in Judgement, we are prone to mistakes. If it was just a matter of the character revealing its true intentions...

    How FAST should he turn evil? (Updated 2/9)

    I think the notion that one act can make someone evil, to be a tad crazy. Sure you have the back story of the soul selling and such, but I think infact saying selling your soul is an evil action is a bit much. If you view the entire thing in black and white, I still do not see it as exactly...

    Song of Ice and Fire question

    Throwing it because of the bloody wedding? =) I guess I'd say, there are no real "good guys". Yet the the starks are the focus of the story, and would seem to be the main characters. I think alot of the idea is to see the characters evolve and their motivations for making certain decisions...

    Barbarians without rage

    Thanks to everyone who replied. Sadly none of this is what I was looking for. Like I said, I was hoping for more of an old school barbarian feel. I just think rage is better suited for a prestige class, or feat chain. Though thats just a side note, my main issue is I just don't want to...
