    How would you defend your subterranean kingdom?

    Except of course that it would be akin to killing a mosquito with a cruise missile. These tactics weren't used in Medieval times due to the expense and time needed. It would take too many resources, too many trees, too many men, for too long. It could be done if you had NO other problems to deal...

    To anyone who bought the EPIC LEVEL HANDBOOK

    One last thought for those of you whose sense of drama is totally encompassed by rolling their eyes or being glad of short comments, I made a small mistake. It should be Uber-Munchkin Level Handbook... I hope they have a nice section about tea-parties and evil twins for all the "drama" fans...

    To anyone who bought the EPIC LEVEL HANDBOOK

    And who started it? I think, noble as you are, that people should be allowed to attack you, and you should not be allowed to defend yourself. How would that be? Let's try it. Unless you are a Mod, don't tell people what to do. Can you resist and follow your own advice? We will see...

    To anyone who bought the EPIC LEVEL HANDBOOK

    Lord CaCa: sure, sure, whatever you say. Compelling drama? What is this, a daytime soap opera? Hope I don't have to play in any of your "talented" games, but I doubt you run any...I don't know who you think you are to belittle someone else who you don't know, but I will say you are terribly...

    Epic Level Handbook = Munchkin Level Handbook That's all I have to say about that

    [OT] Anyone who plays Paranoia (especially Piratecat) please respond!

    Yeah, that's how I feel too. I was trying to get that across. Wish one of the Publishers that frequent these boards would get in touch with him and get it back in print. He said the next version would be called something like "Paranoia ME" or "XP". funny....

    [OT] Anyone who plays Paranoia (especially Piratecat) please respond!

    Speaking of Mr. Costikyan, I just received a reply to an e-mail I did to him. He says he has reattained the rights to Paranoia, along with another guy named Eric, and they have had preliminary discussions with publishers about republishing it, but no deals have been made, and they are not...

    Anyone going to Dragon*Con? (Atlanta)

    Well, I get in free, so I guess I have to go. Living Greyhawk is the biggest RPG at DragonCon, although there are still other just plain RPGA games too. In those, you are given a character. There is also board gaming, miniatures, and LARPing. Things to do in the city itself are not that...

    Could someone please explain (summarize)

    Dark Sun conversion very much alive http://www.athas.org/ is the WotC official Dark Sun website. A 3rd edition conversion is in final editing, and a beta release of the whole document is expected soon. There is enough on the website, scattered in many files, to play 3rd edition Dark Sun...

    Rant on d20

    So you are saying the rules are fine the way they are, but you have to change them to fix the problem of falling damage? And this doesn't seem like a contradiction to you? Okay....

    And here it is....the WotC contest Delay.

    Another broken promise... Typical these days

    D&D question: any advice for an 18th level dungeon?

    Welcome to the Beholder Village... The gates of Hell await you... Tinker gnomes invite you over to see their latest invention - the matter/anti-matter engine! What did you do to cheese off the demigods this time... Vecna's House of Pancakes

    AoOs w/ natural weapons... how many?! (game in 2 hours)

    I think, except for Ravens and Hydras, it is understood that animals only get one attack as an AoO, usually this is a bite. For animals with two or more primary weapons, such as the bear or squid, I don't think it is so clear, but it is easier to just rule that they still get one attack. In...

    Interrupting a spell impossible w/Core rules?

    If you substitute "bowman" for magic user in all the above arguments, you have the same problem. No one used bows in the front line of a fight, that's why bowman had extra shortswords for melee when the enemy got too close. But it happens in 3rd edition all the time. The central problem, one...

    Mounted combat... after two years, I still have no clue.

    Your chart does not make sense. You are on the back of the horse, so why are you in a different square? And there is no facing in 3rd edition, so there is no "in front of" to talk about...

    Rant on d20

    Re: Re: Re: Combat more deadly... the simple solution... Yes, I understand that. In full plate, a longsword isn't going to be very effective. You would want to switch to a great sword or a magical sword which does more damage. If you have spent all that money on plate, and live with its armor...

    Dragon/Dungeon sold, Chainmail axed

    In tough economic times, companies return to their core business, those that aren't too busy falsifying their financial statements that is. What this means is you dump underperformers (Chainmail)\ You sell off marginal performers outside your core business (Dragon/Dungeon magazine, you are not...
