    What language is the Common of our world?

    its english it is what science is written in. It is the obvious second language of anybody. its why we englsih are hopeless at learning languages. there is no obvious second language to learn. But given how we are destroying our own language with street slang/text etc i think 'common' sums it...

    The grappling book

    well a few days they released a book to explain the grappling rules etc, cos they basically are way too complicated and dont work. several days later they release some errata cos it had some errors/wrong bits! seems ironic to me Reminds me when i was a student 20 years ago and someone released...

    Wound / vitality system pros

    In my homebrew, Black Nova 35, we have been playing for 2 years now I use AC/DR gained from armour, everyone gets +1AC every 4 levels and we use HP. what i like is everyone has a very wide range of both AC/DR and HP and yet it all seems to work quite well. vehicles and ships use AC/DR and HP as...

    D&D Movie: Wrath of the Dragon God

    i really enjoyed it in terms of minutes of enjoyment recieved/amount of dollars spent making it.....anything with a lich as the first encounter cant be bad!! I have the UK version (elemental magic), only cost 2.95 on ebay. I assume title aside the UK release is the same as any other version? JohnD

    Uh, I'm not quite dead yet, sir...

    Personally i really like the 'on 1 hp n im fully functional' on less than that im down and need my companions to assist or fluke a stabilise roll. Seems more heroic. Having played rolemaster (which is pretty much the opposite) where you can have 80% of your hit points left but you cant move...

    Random Wilderness Encounters - How do you use them?

    I tend to have a list of pre written encounters some of which ill use, some ill save for another day. Often i fiddle with etools adding templates/classes to a base creature vaguely connected to the overall plot, until i get something interesting. Or as someone else mentioned try to find a use...

    Do you regret the fact that you don't get to game as much as you would like?

    Get to play once per week with one group and occassionally (maybe 2 or 3 per month) with second group. I am DM and both groups are in the same campaign (diff adventures). Play for 3 to 4 hours at a time. I think id like those to be 5 hour sessions, so less time seems wasted on chat and snax. I...

    Best way to change the level of an adventure?

    To be honests i wouldnt change anything in this situation. The party may do more in between rests, or get the adventure done a bit quicker, which is often a bonus. the amount of xp they earn will not be a great difference The trick i find is turning an excellent adventure u wanna run but the...

    How many humanoid species are cross-breedable in your campaign?

    Orcs, wood elves and humans have all been drawn together in my camapign because of overwhelming other threat. Wood elves and orcs get on well because of equal stength and enjoy rough games and such. One patrty member has one parent who is a offsrping off orc-elf union, the union offspring of...
