My first character was a (AD&D) wizard - 3d6 rolled in order. Let's see what my first EnWorld character would be: edit: in 3E this would be a fine sorcerer, close enough to a wizard; in AD&D I'm not so sure (memory somewhat rusty): bard maybe? Hagor

I recently changed to this.

fully expecting a 1, but rolling a natural 20! (but then 6 to confirm) Hagor

Dungeon FTW! I believe I started with AD&D in 1990 or shortly thereafter. First campaign with a friend as DM was set in Forgotten Realms, but I'm pretty sure he didn't use one of the classics. When I started DMing I had a homebrew world (note to self - find map) and did not use any of the...

I am glad I found this thread again. I think I may need it for inspiration: last weekend, my daughter (3.5 years) was talking about firebreathing dragons & monsters. When I said she should chase them away, she said she couldn't because she didn't have a sword! So, I took one of her toys and...

level drain. IMC, I introduced life energy levels (these are drained) (is a concept I read somewhere) or I substitute level drain with some kind of cold/negative energy damage. Another thing that bugs me (perhaps not a true D&Dism - particularly in 3.x/can't remember in 2E): clerics & druid...

The adventure I used most to introduce several groups/start several campaigns (in 2E) was "Dovedale" from #46. In fact, I find #46 a rather strong issue: I enjoyed running "Goblin Fever" and enjoyed reading (never got around running it) "Iron Orb of the Duergar" Hagor

what about the Pathfinder Society adventures? Which ones are the must-haves?

and if I remember correctly, this would refer to "Chimes of Midnight" in issue 133. Hagor

That's my line as well. I know, this means I am probably too soft as DM... :erm: Hagor

QFT! To be honest, I had not considered this possibility. Still does not make it anything else than Evil in my book, though. Also, looking back to the strip: before raising the dragon's head V agrees with the voices, which to me strongly indicates that torturing the dragon plays a big role in...

No-brainer for me: evil. To be more precise: E-V-I-L I honestly do not understand the people who see this as something different. Alignment of "victims": irrelevant The act, the intent, the means: Evil Hagor

This is very similar to one of the encounters in the Savage Tide adventure Path. You can find it in Dungeon 141. In fact, "the Sea Wyvern's Wake" chapter in that dungeon issue has several more encounters set during a long sea voyage (although aimed for 5-6th level PCs) Hagor

Some people left a few years ago, and others more recently joined the group, but the core of the group has been playing (in a rather casual manner, roughly bimonthly) for 15+ years now. All male group, 30-35 years old, mix of professions: science & engineering related (3-4), IT (1), social...

I started in 2nd edition. You can blame it on nostalgia, but I have lots of fun memories... Hagor

Almost always. And in both groups I'm in. For my campaign I try to have a fixed schedule (the last sunday of every other month) and this is rather successful. Also: when the session is over, don't leave without fixing a time for the next one. Hagor

QFT. I try to schedule one session (of 4-5 h) every two months (with moderate success): a once-a-month game is somewhat a luxury for me. But I think it can be done. I agree with most of the points raised so far. What do I (as the DM) do? - I make an adventure log, including a list of the...

Approximately the same thing here. a mix of 3.x and Pathfinder, with the ratio undetermined at present Hagor

Yep. This will not be fixed with some duct tape...

Zinovia, This was absolutely hilarious! Best thing I read on this boards in a long time! Thanks for sharing! Hagor
