Why is this dragon attacking? With most civilians gone, and probably much of thier stuff, why would a dragon attack a city lacking most of the food and treasure? It's coming after something. Why would it ever come down to fight the PCs? A huge flying dragon could simply pass the time ripping...

Yay! I'll be going to GenCon that year also (my first time. Decided to go as my friends went this year). I can bring some of my old magic cards to replace the ones that got stolen if he still needs them. All Unlimited stuff with nothing past the Dark expansions though. Even the old cons...

Don't know about that. I think the hitting level 20 by puberty is more a function of the rules than anything else. In the all elf game I ran, they were working for the Elven queen and she would give them elven time frames to do missions. After giving them one mission she informed them they...

I've run an all elven campaign before with success. Not sure how an all Hiver or Centaur Traveller game would go over though.

It says that they're avoiding the actual concerns.

We go over the Flash thing all the time on photography forums. Just putting it into Flash is decent protection, but there is basically no way to prevent them from making copies if they can see it on the screen. I like the virtual gaming table idea however. If they could come up with something...

It's all about Mishra and Urza.

No, not really. They exist, but much like most races of the fey (and many other intelligent races in a monster book), they are out of sight and out of mind. For the most part, they live with the elves, being a servant race in their eyes. Outside of it, they maintain occational small communities...

Ditto here, ...until I started stating out a BBEG lich. Then, everything that had seemed lackluster all clicked into place, shined up pretty, and became vital to that NPC. My vote would be for WoD 2.0 & V:tR. Bought it. Read it. Realized I would never play it, and all the time had a perfectly...

Wrong game system. First ones to my mind as high level D&D games were the Jereg series (seemed like it was made off of some D&D campaign), Black Company, and Elric.

Ya, I can't remember anybody complaining about 2E. Vampires were big at the time, the game sounded interesting, and girls said they would play it because of those two reasons (where they wouldn't play D&D). Given the choice of another "guys night out" playing D&D or getting our D&D hating...

Between houseing, equipment and upkeep for any large military force of even low level, I dobut he'll succeed. Base troops are cheap but the prices in the core rules are for unequiped mercenaries. From there he'll have to buy all their equipment, provide them with houseing, keep them happy, deal...

QFT Given the three core rule books, all I need is paper and pencil to create a homebrew and campaign that could run for years. All other books are neat but nothing more than icing on the rather large cake.

I said "friend" because I first played D&D because a friend brought it to school and we played during lunch. However, I first discovered it at the local book store next to the SCI-FI/FANTASY books. I read the back cover and it sounded great and I knew I wanted it. I didn't have the money so I...

IMC, there are various "monster cities" where trade is conducted not only by giants but other races such as orcs, gnolls, etc. Especially in the underdark where the Drow are more than willing to supply such equipment for materials they need (and elven heads). This is how the Drow were...

The game I am currently playtesting, Unhallowed Metropolis, won't be released but one of the creators, Nicci Vega, will be there at the EOS Press table with sample chapters to answer questions and promote the game. It is an RPG of "Teslapunk" Neo-Victorian horror. "Set two hundred years...

It will require buying lots of new minatures.

And of course, after reading the 4E thread, it becomes obvious why they are doing this. Mearls has been brought in to redesing D&D for 4E, and 4E will be a DDM centric game and the redesign is towards making monsters that are easier to use in tactical minature combat. Losing a weapon becomes...

Funny enough, the people I played games with last Tues, who used to work at WotC and are still in the gaming industry, said the same thing. Although they thought it might be announced in '07 for a '08 realease as the quick release of 3.5 messed up the timetable they were familiar with while...

Unearthed Arcana has a reputations system IIRC. Not sure off hand how it is handled but there is a reputation score. Most nobility systems involving titles have descrete levels also. Easiest way to look at them from a gamist point of view is to look at the reputation system in WoW. Certain...
