Unfortunately, they probably do. There are certain extremists who believe that the total human population should be less than a few million and they are currently trying to figure out a way to make it so.

Also, broaden your knowledge. Read many books on many subjects. I found that the stories of old can inspire some beautiful colors in the game. I love to read about different professions, traditions, mythologies, you name it. I also take some classes, like right now I go once a month to...

Well, sure you should buy complete books. I for one would be upset they were missin' anything :) Seriously my players don’t use them regularly but I think they are kind of cool.

Dern Elves. I read a book about ancient Celtic civilizations a while ago and I remember the author saying that Britain was once a lush forest, however not much, if at all, has changed to the landscape in thousands of years. The civilization (possibly pre-Celtic (Indo-European)) that was there...

A druid I would like to see played would be the most predominate figure in religion; like they once were. They were the wisest and most learned individuals of their time. In fact there was little distinguishing a bard from a druid, and some speculate that they were one in the same. A druid, I...

Let’s not forget that many scholars believe that druids performed human as well as animal sacrifices to appease the gods. Doesn’t sound like hippies to me. However, most of our information about druids, other then from archaeological finds, came from biased Roman literature, just as sniffles...

I’m sure my group would like to go back to AD&D. We’ve only began 3.X this year. But most of us have invested a lot in the 3.X sources. And god bless Mothers in-law. Mine pretty much spoiled me on my last Birthday/Christmas (Same thing) with pretty much purchasing my whole Amazon wish list!! On...

Well, like most of you I’ve had many characters over the years. The ones that are most important to me would have to be my very first and my last. Yobe the wizard was my first. It was the spring/summer of 1988 and my parents took my sister and I out of school early that year so we could move...

Another thing I’ve found is that an adventure may sound awful when read, but turns out to be fun to play. Just like some aspects of my adventures that I add just for fluff end up a major part of the adventures. Well, I guess what I’m tryin’ to say is that just because publishers don’t like it...

Well Said.

Are these slogans going to be printed on a t-shirt or something?

I personally have never used a battle mat until recently when we started playing with the new 3-3.5E regulations. To tell you the truth, I much prefer not using one, but I do only because of the new combat system in the latest edition (which I do believe to be a little better then before). But...

Even though there are many gamers in the military, I had a tough time when my shop found out I played D&D. They joked for a few days, calling me Lord Farquad and telling me that their sword is LVL 5 (??) and is more powerful than mine. I just played along and slung more insults their way. It...

If you don't mind me asking, how do you determine XP for RPing and Story advancement? I have a few power gamers who'd rather hack and slash their way through an adventure, often complaining that some sessions have too much role-playing. Again, some of my players love to RP, so I tend to ignore...

Mead drake! I'm going to have to get a copy of #284.

That's cool! My son's a wee bit too young for now (19 mos) but I can't wait. :) Have you ever considered letting him play?

I have an entire month to prepare for each game so I may be at a bit of an advantage here. I think about the adventures regularly and jot down some ideas throughout the month. Then, the Friday before our game is crunch time. This is when I go through all my written ideas and mental notes and put...

Thanks, I’ll definitely consider it. Well, once I figure out how it works. :)

A long time ago a fella asked me if he could play a Tarrasque. With nil intelligence, I told him it would be fitting.

Sonn Rúndar Sonn Rúndar, a dwarven citadel I developed in high school (10th grade or so). Here it is 14 years later and I still find myself working on it even though I don’t use it in any particular fashion. I guess their culture, customs and courtesies have changed throughout the years as did...
