BoF Overrated, no. Not to your individual taste, yes. The book is great and bites a lot harder than the recent WOTC books.

AE - excellent book, the aforementioned world 'baggage' is easily dropped and the magic system can originate from a far-off land in your campaign world the players don't often see. I took one look at PHB2 and haven't looked again. Bleh

Already have the book in question - It's called Book of Fiends by Green Ronin :)

Simplify and/or remove (and adjust feats/skills to reflect this): - Attacks of Opportunity - Grappling, Tripping, Sundering, etc. Restrict or use XP costs for the 'cheater' spells (locate 'x', detect 'y', speak w/dead) to, by default encourage solving problems w/out the spells.

Kind of fun to see how many are converting older modules and running with them. Also, couple others using Lost City of Barakus. I'm hoping my group picks up again next weekend.

It's a serious problem...kidding, of course. It is a good thing you're not in Denver, CO. I think Black & Read has about 60 copies of this. Even at $5 each that's a load of PHB.

Not Jay :) But I think this is what you're after... http://www.enworld.org/forums/showthread.php?t=81883

DMing Lost City of Barakus (www.necromancergames.com), modified moderately to fit it into the City State of the Invincible Overlord/Wilderlands setting. Removed Endhome as the default city and am cherry-picking which side adventures to use. Throwing in quite a few Dungeon adventures over the...

Can't for the life of me remember or figure out what issue it was, but there was a pair, Dungeon and a DRagon article detailing a city of ghouls in the Underdark and the Ecology of the True Ghoul. From the 2E era.

It's all in the description. Just saw Apocalypto last night - I liked it, not as much as some critics, but it was a solid film. Human-sacrificing, pyramid-dwelling king-priests pulling out hearts and lopping heads off seems a good fit for D&D IMHO...:)

Bringing this back in line - the 'drow' are whatever you want to make of them. Interesting side note: pale-skinned subterranean dark elves (not drow) are the default assumption in the Wilderlands of High Fantasy (www.necromancergames.com). 'Dark' because of evil naughtiness, not skin color...

Enworld (occasionally) Necro GAmes (occasionally) Honestly, I'm not much of a forum junkie.

Severe. Kicked off my Wilderlands game 2 weeks ago. But we won't get another game in the works until Jan. 6. From about mid October thru Jan. 1 every year gaming is sparse - especially since we can't normally muster anything beyond 1/ 2 weeks, this sucks.

The word 'cheat' is the wrong word to use in an RPG IMO. Rules are what you make of them. There is likely a huge difference between 'sloppy' design (not understanding RAW) and taking liberty with RAW where/when needed. DMs do it all the time.

I'm willing to go anywhere in the Denver metro area, but most times I find myself hosting (for D&D anyhow, other game systems are a different matter) on weekend nights. Really, I try to limit myself to a 40 minute drive. I've tried games across town on Friday nights - rush hour makes it hideous.

Definitely an art - I find myself using it as a gauge and then assigning XP appropriately. I am the DM afterall :)

..and were quite entertaining. Ran them as an aside to my main campaign in 1999.

quite the opposite. my group of friends seems to game well together and have become more effective players over the years.

Detect <alignment> Locate <this or that> Commune, speak w/dead Resurrection spells (where common) Essentially what I call the 'cheating' spells. I don't remove these from my game, but do impose XP costs.
