I'd say that a paladin could end up with a Merry Men sort of situation. There's not that much difference between sitting out in the woods and attacking evil nobles that surround you and taking their stuff, than there is venturing with a party into another evil country, attacking their evil...

Actually, that's very true for me too. If it is CT 2.0, then I'll probably get it. If it is some new system and such, I'll view it with a skeptical eye. Lord knows that CT could have used a revision, but MT and the others just never did it for me, especially with the settings they tried to provide.

Cut down the number of pages for classes because there would only be the four, Cleric, magic-user, fighter, and rogue. All skills and feats would be prechosen, meaning you could cut the bit on feats because they'd all be class features. Add a few pages about skills. Not even sure what you're...

Autoscaling typically goes against why i like to run and play in sandbox type games. I think you'll usually find the the PCs will opt for suitable challanges. Typically, they want the most treasure and experience they can get, so they'll take the biggest threat they can reasonably take on...

I'd say yes, but I define "railroading" as a bad thing. Providing an plot hook or adventure path is not railroading. It becomes railroading when the players want to get off and they are not allowed to for no good reason other than the DM has already decided what is going to happen. Especially...

Other direction I would think. Make them minor nobility, or from fairly rich and influencial families, which is sort of a given considering they have training in class levels and equipment, and make thempreform their duty to their families and community. Fa ily holdings need to be protected...

I'll be there.

Spiked chain.

Life is an adventure and there is no real "settling down". Say they get riches, power, and fame, even if they buy a plot fo land and try not to adventure, the world is a dangerous place and things will be going on around them and they will be involved in those things whether they want to or not...

More of the same with some more internet tools for online gaming. Meanwhile, computer games like WoW will get more and more complex and allow for greater RP oportunities. I'd like to see a cross between RPGs and boardgames. I have no interest in DDM, but maybe a version that was hald DDM and...

See, with the people I play with, this would do nothing but have them spending time trying to knock off the leaders or leaving for a different region rather than addressing their task. But again, IME, the reason that people usually play evil parties is not "to be evil" but to get out from...

Kill things and take their stuff. Any quest that a good party would take probably has enough loot to tempt evil parties too, especially if they're sure not to be held accountable for their actions doing so. Indeed, the usual motive I see for players wanting to play in an evil group is to...

Never seen hazing really. When I was running a large V:tM game, one of the thing that all new charaters would do is hunt. After they'd make their character, i'd basically say "It's Saturday night, nobody you know is avialable, your herd is busy, and you're hungry. What do you do?" Very rarely...

A 2020 release date.

1. Savage Species - Good expansion for D&D. I've always liked the idea of giving intelligent monsters class levels. Playing monster characters where typical class abilites are replaced somewhat by special abilites makes for an intersting game. This is somewhat taken care of by the new "as a...

A good rule to follow for an evil game (or any game) is to metagame it first and make sure that all the players are on the same page. If half the group is thinking that all PCs can be trusted because they're PCs and the other half is thinking it's every man for himself, then things can fall...

Thank god! Now I can finally cater to the players that always wanted to RP in Minneapolis. Hoepfully, they'll come out with a Des Moines expansion soon.

Cool idea. Sounds like something my elves (who are ultra lawful) might do. Any one of their own, who unless fairly young and ineffectual, would be fairly high level that turned unseelie (chaotic) could be brought back into the fold. This would preserve the elven order, satisfy the elven honor...

In a heavily houseruled 1E game I was in, the magic-user bought lots of Str and Con using the point buy system and made some good roles so he was exceptionally big and tall. Then he sewed copper peices into the inside of this cloak, so when he walked it clinked like mail armor. It was all done...

IMHO, it's all abou the people. We actually experience better coherency with evil parties than good. With good parties, everybody knows that nobody will hurt the others so everybody goes and does whatever they feel like. In evil parties, it all becomes business and it is an open fact that if...
