    Would you Kill Eliminster for 1 million Gold?

    1mil gips might go little a way to covering the cost of a "Slay Elminster" epic spell... though I'll do the "Stay down!" part of it for nix ;) Thresher's 'If its got stats we can kill it' theory

    [OT] Dr. Seuss - What was he smoking?

    It was the 60's! :cool: He was high on life... man. Actually I suspect after reading green eggs and ham he was ripped off his :):):):) on something but I'd rather not know.

    top 25 reasons you started playing d+d again

    MMORPG's cost too much a month and are the tool of the devil. Also, you think D&D is "broken"? HAHAHAHAHAHA! You dont know broken! Go read some boards about computer games and they whine about the same sh#! you guys do, though possibly with more angst :D Thresher "Too many level 50's and a...

    Should the whole idea of class skills be done away with?

    The changes to the skill system in 3.5 where one of they best improvements to the game so far and while sometimes Ive come across as being overly critical in a negative way of a lot of things that changed, to be honest its just how I see it and I dont like to mince words. Dumping class based...

    Moms who banned DnD

    I think by the time I got into roleplaying heavily (20) my mum was probably thankfull I playing that and wasnt pissed drunk and passed out in the arms of loose women. Actually I was doing both :o But she dosnt need to know that...

    AD&D and the people who still play it

    haha! I wonder if he had the same copy of Unearthed Arcana I did back in 1991, back when I was a poor uni student snagged a copy for $4 in a 2nd hand bookstore... only to find some carpet rat had gone through it with a blue biro, red pencil and a yellow fluro marker. It was kinda hard to take...

    How "Table-Top" is Your Game?

    For fights that have a lot of NPC's in them and a lot of people playing (5 or so) then the board gets dragged out for intensive fights. But for the most part our games are 3-4 people and you dont really need them, we've all been playing for about 10-18 years each and did fine without them then...

    A few questions about Adamantite

    From memory in old Gary Gygax modules it was described as a black, dark grey metal sort of like high carbon blued steel with a polished oily finish to it.

    Encounters with the Supernatural

    Reminds me of a story a friend told me, he was in the army for about 6 years and like me sort of ended up at uni doing of all things 'Visual Arts' for some reason. (Beats shooting at people I guess :D) He ended up doing guard duty at an air base one night when a C130 came back in after doing...

    Quirks when you die and get raised

    Yeah we had a paladin down to about his last 3-4 'strikes' over a few years of play, he started getting a bit more careful in his later years. A current character still played over the last 10 years was down to his last 2 strikes, he was real glad we switched over to 3E, was a wiz-evoker, mostly...

    Quirks when you die and get raised

    You could bring in the old 2E rule of only being able to die as many times as you have unmodified Con?

    Reviving Greyhawk: A letter-writing campaign.

    1: rofl! I cant write here what our gaming group thinks of J Wyatt modules... but it involves sheep and a few bits out of the BoVD. 2: Aww but why? Its WoTC doctrine, "thou must add templates to make things 'challenging'" aside from the fact that the conception between druids X treants X devil...

    Wizards: Unsuitable Adventurers?

    At lower levels its quite cheap to pen most of your low level spells onto scroll, then you can squirrel that away somewhere or store them in a scroll tube, then if the primary book gets smoked you can re-pen them into a new book. Scroll tubes and book covers made of adamantite are some of the...

    Removing Energy Drain

    Research/add some spells to your game that give superior neg-energy protection. D&D tends to have an overall higher amount of "offence over whats out there for defence" so I dont see it being a problem if people dont abuse it.

    Book of Exalted Deeds - I don't get it...

    I quite liked the BOVD, though it would be interesting to do a wordcount on how many times the word 'vile' gets bandied about it tends to be a poor read but the system mechanics and ideas inside are top notch. Still with the BOED at least it will seem to be a more complete text, as for some time...

    I Am An Orphan And Have No Friends

    I find it hard to make up a decent character background without at least detailing the nuclear family around them and a few close friends, its what gives them their outlook on life, reflects their personality and their essential upbringing. Though, when your the only one who bothers to make them...

    Star Wars(maps, apprentices, and other help needed)

    Anything you can pummel with a mass driver you can do with conc missiles and turbolasers, both are a little more easier to use and versitile. The reason for this is planetary sheilds, anywhere important has them, if they dont then they just vape the atmosphere off with turbolasers and turn the...

    Im still mentally scarred after watching the 'Fast and the Furious' and the plebs standing around a MkIV supra oggling at an aspirated 2JZ motor. Yes, well done guys, you got the poverty-pack model...

    What to do about Greedy Players?

    We had one of those once, it was in character... mostly, except for the whinning, that was both. He calmed down a bit after a necklace of strangulation and a girdle of giant strength that reversed his gender. Both where quite funny events, the burly male dwarf fighter turned into a buxom dwarf...

    Clowns as villains

    hmmm, many many years ago, think it was the real early 90's a friend ran what was going to be a one-off game under 2E mostly just to get familiar with the rules. We where going to be in some sort of 'Champions of the gods' thing he'd contrived and our group was to take on some of the other gods...
