    Friends Campaign Idea

    I would make a slight alteration to the kidnapping idea above. Instead of having the coven kidnap the PC's, have a band of brigand raiders kidnap them. The thieves could have been kidnapping people on their raids, and trying to use the various army's uniforms, banners, plans or whatever as...

    Has anyone used Fantasy Grounds?

    They still have tokens, but you can download pics of miniatures, different portraits, or anything you want to use along with the tokens they have. You can actually use the pictures from the manuals if you want. You could save files of miniature pics from any number of miniature websites and...

    Has anyone used Fantasy Grounds?

    As a player I love it. I have never DM'd with it and don't have that version. I read about it in a thread on this sight. I investigated their website and liked what I saw. I sent out the e-mail and made calls to a very old gaming group and talked about putting the gang back together. I then...

    Sequel to "The Dark Crystal"

    I think the sequel is a great idea. However, I believe they should wait awhile before they try this. It just hasn't been enough time since the original.:p

    How do you get your PCs to run away?

    One thing might be to team them up with an NPC. Let them grow to trust and admire the NPC for his ability. Then in a fight that they can't win, have the NPC shout out some sound reasoning/rationalizing and make him run first. That way the PC's will someone that they know might possibly be...

    Which MMORPG would you play?

    I would like to see a D&D game that wasn't Eberron. I would love to see mmorpg of Flashing Blades. That would be a dream Finally I would love there to be a sidewinder, or even a BootHill online game.

    Problems running Temple of Elemental Evil

    I had run it on the computer at my house. Then I took it to my in-laws place and tried it. I had the exact problem you mentioned. One of the fixes had a link that was broken so I couldn't try that. Now that I have seen this thread I will try only the patches mentioned on that Co8 link...

    Noble Core Class

    Your explanation makes sense. It works for me. I like the class a lot, not just because I would want to play it, but because I can see a need for it, and would add to some good role playing.

    Kingdom of Heaven

    The movie was really enjoyable to me. I did see the faults of it in many places but somehow the whole was equal to much more than the sum of its parts. If I looked at each individual aspect it would have gotten a 5 or a 6. But I gave it an 8. Acting - It was all adequate. There wasn't a bad...

    Noble Core Class

    That is really awesome. I like it a lot. It makes sense, and seems fairly balanced. I might want to change the armor proficiency to any two of the following armor proficiencies: light, med., or heavy armor. I would do that because Nobles were the ones often jousting, and wearing the full...

    Character Philosophies

    I had one character who had a noble ancestor many years back. He took it upon himself to find out what happened to that ancestor, and restore nobility to his family name. It started that way, and adapted slightly as events in the campaign happened. His goals were of course to become landed...

    What's your favorite way to play D&D over the net?

    I love Fantasy Grounds. It's the next best thing to being there. The strategy is there, the role play is there, the table, books, maps, notes, character sheets are all similar to face to face game. It takes about two sessions to get used to it, and I've had a really enjoyable experience with...

    What's your favorite video game?

    I'm playing Pirates by Sid Meier and Atari. I love it. One of my all time favorite games that was back in the IBM 386 days is a roleplaying game computer version. It was Traveler. It had a sequel also. Did anyone else play that game or at least remember it? I loved that game, and Roadwar...

    Gaming and your Significant Other

    My wife is a tricky case. She loves online roleplaying games, Balder's Gate, NW Nights, and stuff like that. She reads fantasy novels, and loves many of them. When I tell her a synopsis of what is going on in various campaigns she thinks it sounds like fun, and is interested. But she is very...

    George R. R. Martin has a new sample up!

    His product is a good one. I wouldn't presume to tell George RR Martin, how to write. If he needs to take this long to come out with a quality book, then I'll live with it. I'm not happy about it, but I'll live with it. As far as conventions etc. slowing him down, I don't really buy it...

    I m a girl get over it

    I love this thread because I'm imagining a group of gamers mocking a girl interested in D&D and how that would go. GIRLFRIEND enters the room and approaches a group of male gamers GIRLFRIEND: Hey guys can I play? GAMER GUY 1: You want to play D&D? All the guy gamers explode into loud...
