Did anyone here ever play the old Streetfighter: the Storytelling Game published by White Wolf about 1994 or so? Ever since I got the 4E core books, I've had the feeling that I've seen something similar before. This week, it occurred to me that the Streetfighter STG had alot of stuff in it that...

I do all my writing on the computer. I haven't done anything hand-written since high school, approximately 1995 or so. Printers got inexpensive enough that even as a teenager, I could afford one and was able to get all my notes printed at home. Beats the hell out of smudgy notes on notebook...

Yeah, I have to say that I was pretty pissed that someone managed to turn news of a tragedy into a flame war about DDI.

I dig using devils as the big bads in my homebrew. It's alot of fun to watch players want to kill the villain, but debate whether or not to because he's got something to offer if he's alive... Good times. I've used Baalzebul and Dispater as major campaign villains several times. They scare my...

I'd advise you to incorporate PHBII and similar sources from the ground up. Consider psionics for Dark Sun and Eberron. Dark Sun actually told you on the back of the box that the Psionics Handbook was required, and Eberron included several psionic elements right from the get-go. I never heard...

I have a player in my current campaign who has a halfling warlock. It's the first halfling I've seen in actual play in about twelve years.

In the news clip, they specifically mention that women's shelters are underfunded. Seems like the logical place to set up a donation for if that's what youre interested in. I don't really feel personally responsible for this just because I'm not interested in DDI, but I can see how it might be...

They're not mutually exclusive. Since it's the skill of the player that matters, you certainly can play a character with all 18's with just as much skill and finesse as a character with average scores. It is not incumbent upon a player to play a noodle-armed, butter-fingered, asthmatic, mentally...

I stick to the 22 point method myself. For me, character power does not equate with "fun." I have had just as much of a blast with characters with low scores and the war stories are often alot better. It's my opinion that smart play and the skill of the player account for alot more than the...

My games are usually a high 3 or a solid 4. This is because my DMing style is very much "let the dice fall where they may." I rarely cut players a break in terms of fudging die rolls or selectively ignoring the rules, since I like to stick to the rules as written most of the time (sometimes, I...

I don't like the term "Gish" as a general term for a build. It causes confusion. This is what I first thought people were talking about when they used the term "Gish":

I chose a superlative adventure from each major edition (1E, 2E, and 3.5), it just so happens that I like the style and narrative of 1E adventures, so that's what rounded out the list. There have been some good modern adventures too--the Forge of Fury and Heart of Nightfang Spire stand out in...

I tend to think that "cinematic" is a stylistic preference--not something that should be directly supported nor discouraged by the rules themselves. It's a skill to be developed and exploited as individual DMs see fit. It's also a vague, loaded word. "Cinematic" could mean the stunt-heavy...

• T1-4: The Temple of Elemental Evil • I6: Ravenloft • When Black Roses Bloom • S1: Tomb of Horrors • Rappan Athuk Reloaded

1.) Seven to eight, depending on schedules. 2.) I'm the DM. I'm usually the DM. 3.) Other people in my group DM, but not for the same campaign. We have seperate campaigns. 4.) Four females, four males. It seems odd to me that people keep claiming that D&D is dominated by white males, I...

Yeah, not to mention oriented towards players. It hasn't been a big help to me as a DM.

Multiclassing in 3E/3.5 was usually suboptimal for spellcasters. I really liked the mystic theurge in concept, but it was really tough to play. When my old group did City of the Spider Queen, my mystic theurge was killed in the first session. I has an enlightened fist that died in the second...

I guess it's a point of personal preference. You can argue a broken rule in play at the table or you can run through constant errata during your prep time, so what you're choosing is when it's going to eat up your time. This is also hoping that all your players are also on board with the latest...

First of all, I have to second the idea that 3.X isn't "junk." I'm still totally up for playing a 3E/3.5 game. But then again, I'd play 2E, 1E, OD&D, old World of Darkness, the FASA and Last Unicorn Games versions of Star Trek, and the West End Games Star Wars as well. Just because it isn't new...

Thanks for the quick and accurate responses. Merciful Pelor, I didn't think errata for a book that just came out a month ago would have such overarching and comprehensive differences from the printed material. "Easier for the DM to run the game," my ass. It's going to be a major headache to...
