    Human or Aasimar?

    I hate "A$$wipes". Humans are much better :-)

    D&D Tongue Twisters

    Okay. Here's a lame attempt: The indignant ixitxachitl indicated the illustriously irate indigo iridescent impersonaters wielding rabid wraithspun sickles of gossamer gambadoes grappling greedily for aquatic specimens were silently slipping behind both of its bold bedeviled brothers brandishing...

    Water breathing

    I seem to recall the 1st edition DMG having a fairly decent section on underwater encounters/adventures/combats. I don't have it handy at the moment so I have no way to verify that. Of course if you don't have access to said text it doesn't do you much good either...

    Anyone else having trouble rationalizing CoC sanity loss?

    "The Rats in the Walls" Protaganist goes nuts. "The Picture in the house" Protaganist almost goes nuts. "The Outsider" Protaganist is undead. Could be nuts though. "Pickman's Model" Protagaist stays sane. "In the Vault" Birch goes nuts. "The Silver Key" No madness. Unless the whole thing is...

    Anyone else having trouble rationalizing CoC sanity loss?

    All this whining about Sanity points seems to be complaining players who want to hold on to their characters a little longer than they should. :-) How many HPL stories had a happy ending? And in how many of his tales does the protagonist turn into a gibbering idiot at the end? The descent into...

    WotC Product Schedule Update - 2003

    Yes indeed the new Fiend Folio is on the way! At last we can have the official stats (and not just fan-made conversions) for such heavily used beasties as the dreaded flump, the deadly berbalang, the horrible tirapheg and the monstrous trilloch! Imagine the horror invoked in your players when...

    Favorite FR deity?

    It would be very cool if Moander made another appearance in the Realms... "If any former power of the Realms is truly utterly destroyed, it is the Darkbringer. However, an infinitesimal fraction of his essence does remain on the Astral Plane, so theoretically it could be revived, given...

    Standard Magic System or Magic Points

    The slot system all the way. Sure it's not as flexible or "cool", but after 22 years of playing various game systems, I find it the best. Well, the best for me anyway. I like actually playing the game, rather than fiddling with point systems or other mechanics that leave me spending an...

    Kingdom of Kalamar Calendar Query

    My DM is currently using the Imperial Reckoning calendar in our campaign, but I alas do not have access to this book as of yet. I'm trying to construct a timeline of our party's recent adventures, but I don't know the name of the 9th month, the one before Harvest. Can someone help me out here...

    Looking for D&D group in the New Orleans, LA area.

    Well, it's not quite dead yet. I failed to to post the address and phone number of a certain gaming shop: Gamers Matrix 4432 Chastant St Metairie, LA 70006 (504) 780-1655 On a side note, Wednesday's game went well, and I'm looking forward to Sunday! The gaming group currently numbers at 7, so...

    [FLPBCNFAIS]I don't like Energy Drain as written in the books. How about you?

    Although it's a royal pain in the @$$ when someone does lose a level, thanks to the mess it can make of a character sheet, I know of no other "game mechanic" shall we say, that truly makes players actually FEAR certain types of undead. Especially with 1e and 2e. The wight hits, you LOSE A LEVEL...
