To the OP, absolutely not. For me, I don't even use XP in my game at all. So, even if I liked the mechanic, it wouldn't be an option, since XP doesn't exist in my game. It's an artificial solution to an in-game problem. I believe it represents sheer unadulterated laziness on the part of the...

That wacky Jesus... My answer - no. My longer answer - my story is kind of unusual. My oldest sister actually bought the red boxed set at KayBee Toys one year because it intrigued her. She held on to it for a while, and didn't quite know what to make of it. She ended up giving it to me. I had...

I take XP in lieu of American dollars. :)

The Ogre Mage - suitably impressed that they got this far, and managed to kill a few ogres in the process, attempts to bargain with them - "I'll spare your life, and give you your gear back, if you do a little something for me. Refuse, and I kill you all."

A PDF detailing all the nuances of running an E6/E8 game. For example, I've already revised all the dragons to make them a little more approachable in terms of power levels. I've also got a massive document in the works covering all the gotchas with regards to magic item creation. Some of the...

None of it.

3.x. I can't imagine why anyone would bother trying to create an E6 variant in 4e. I'm just not sure there's a reason to do so.

I want to be that someone else. I want to create an E6/E8 Bible. Who wants to help?

I'm recruiting a few more folks for my Wilderlands game over at Circvsmaximvs.com. I'm tending to go against conventional wisdom here, and I've just about decided that even though 8 people around a table is a total cluster, having that many in a PbP is nearly perfect - because it keeps the...

I'm running an E8 game which presents a few interesting challenges. In a world where (apparently) the highest level spell is a 4th level spell, dragons who can cast 9th level spells presents a real, and obnoxious problem. Solution, I revised all of them down in scale (all the evil ones, at...

Ok, so this forum name is kind of misleading as it only contains 2 forums - 3rd edition, and a 3rd edition house rules forum. Neither is exactly a welcome place to talk about things pre-3rd edition. Should we rename it?

I find it remarkably odd that 3.5 is apparently "more" D&D than 3.0 is. How is that possible?

Some interesting takes on the problems. thedungeondelver has some good insights, though I'm not sure I agree with his criticisms of 2e, though. 1e - I admit I'm not terribly familiar with 1st edition. But here's a start: The rules are sort of all over the place and some of the rules like the...

So, in terms of rules, it would be these: 3.5 PHB, MM, DMG Artificer's Handbook (Mystic Eye Games) 2nd edition Faiths and Avatars (for gods, since I use FR gods) Complete Divine, Arcane, Warrior, Adventurer Unearthed Arcana

Ok, I think I've got it... Sometimes my wife is good for ideas, and really helped me brainstorm this one out. The dragon has a secret on the Efreeti - which is why he trapped him. Seems the Efreeti is not of noble birth, and has lived a lie his entire life in order to gain rank within his...

(Player's in my Circvsmaximvs.com PbP - get out!) I need some advice on how to resolve this side-quest. So, in a small town, my (4th level) players decided to help the reclusive map and book dealer. He was obviously entranced by some book, which he wouldn't relinquish under any circumstance...

Exactly. But I don't intend to do this just for myself. I'll make it available in some form or another for anyone who enjoys E6/E8 style of play. I was thinking last night that an "E6 Bible" would be an extremely useful product to have.

Raising their size category? I assume you mean lowering it. I'm readjusting everything. It's not very plausible to be a 19th level spellcaster in a world where the highest level spellcaster is 6th (e6) or 8th (e8). Also, it kind of destroys my sense of verisimilitude for an ancient dragon to...
