    Can you go home again?

    1) 300 was awesome! D&D could learn something from it (Oh... so *that's* the actually audience we should be aiming at, duh...) 2) What would you Merric say is the strength and weakness of the D&D's? 3) What was again your house rules for AD&D. I remember you took X from 1e and Y from 2e.

    If you had to cut two core races from your game....

    I wanted to go into details on my 2 picks. First. The LotR movies made halflings okay in my eyes. D&D's Kenderling/gypsies though... suck. My 2 picks were: Half-elf and Gnome. Maybe if I read the books Gary got his version of gnomes from. I might have a new appreciation with them. Maybe not...

    No multiclassing penalties?

    I don't use them either. I sorta miss the rules for classes/levels with demi-humans. Sean Reynolds on his board mentioned that the M/C rules are flavor rules. No mechanics in troubles if you got rid of it. Purely flavor. In fact, the races themselves show what class is best suited for them...

    What classes in wizard of oz?

    If Oz was a D&D campaign and guessing the classes off the show are two different things. I'm with those who say outside of the witches, you'd have lots of NPC classes for everyone. My picks for their classes are as if it was a D&D game using core classes. * The Witches: Sorceress * The Wizard...

    The "orc baby" paladin problem

    That's the one thing of D&D I just can't stand. Thanks to endless ecologies, players have gotten to know the monsters enough that they begin to feel for them. Think their people. Why can't an orc just be some evil guy humanoid. Born from mud. When times get bad, more emerge from the filth of...

    Piratecat ruined my D&D game

    > but the new PCs don’t really have any in-game connection to it as their predecessors had. Write a plot that the main bad guy is sponsored by some evil god or demon. So the good gods have chosen a handful of "eternal champions". When dead, their spirits go to new champions, who gain the memory...

    Play experiences with the alternate class abilities from PHB2?

    The ranger one is really popular in my game. Players love an archer who gives flanks, especially the rogues. In the other game where I'm a player, my bard has the knack ability. That and the Jack-of-all-trades feats gives you all feats. You are the skills guy. It lets me concentrate on use magic...

    What are the top 10 elements of a Lovecraft adventure?

    Purity of the bloodline (a belief of his era). Lots of stories deal with alien creatures using humans for reproduction and creating a hybrid race.

    What is THE NEXT BIG THING?

    a video game idea Ah! A shooter game could be a D&D game to get the brand into the mainstream. Instead of a shotgun, shooting zombies. You have a sword and spells to kill off orcs, giants, mindflayers, beholders, githyanki, and dragons. Play online with others, form a adventuring party. Add ons...

    What is THE NEXT BIG THING?

    revamping the lines 5 pages already! Forgive me if this has been mentioned already. If it's Wizards: 4e, that has a pen+paper element. The miniatures line, and the rules to with them for regular play, mass combat play, quickie lunch hour play, and solo/1 on 1 play. Cards, both a basic set...

    Gatorfolk

    Don't like the race's name. Why not Gatormen. Or get creative, look up the name in Latin, and play with that. I use a gatorman like race in my game. I call the, Cai'men.

    Not Reading Ryan Dancy

    Only problem is the D&D brand has a negative public reaction, unlike WoW. I think that's been RPGs' problems since the mid-90s. Most of its designers stopped designing it for a wider audience. It choose the demos it wanted to appeal to. And that narrow choice to overall target made it something...

    Alignment: Han Solo is Neutral?

    Complete Scoundrel says Han Solo was N. Here's my question on that: Is this the Han Solo of "Greedo shot first" or the original (and real) "Han shot Guido" version?

    Alignment myths?

    I think it's lame when someone tries to argue that an anti-hero or anti-villian are more good or lawful than obviously they are. The Punisher is evil. He has no problem killing. Yeah, in a D&D sense everyone does that. But I've always felt fantasy is a bad genre to have shades of grey or go too...

    If you could add one new ability score, what would it be?

    I really think the 6 current ones are enough, but since that wasn't the question. You know, I read a few posts, thought about it. Tougher to answer than I thought it would be. First reaction is a "beauty" stat. But then I thought: It would be just a dumping ground. Easier to have the player...

    Complete Scoundrel gives alignments for Batman, James Bond, Riddick, and more...

    If you're going to follow the alignments how they were set to be. Then yes. If you want to Play the confusing P.C. alignments of today or your own house rule versions. Then Riddick can be LG if you want. Thisreminds me of someone asking Gary about Neutral (TN). He gave this LONG ying/yang...
