not me, but my wife's "gotta be one in every campaign" bar name... the surly mermaid.

i would reword the weapon and armor proficiency, to read something like A Moon Mystic gains proficiency with both shortbow and longbow (including composite versions). moon mystics gain no additional weapon or armor proficiencies. i would also remove the requirement for divine casting of owl's...

what do you give to your players when starting a new campaign, is more of what i'm getting at? :) especially if you have new (at least, to you as a DM) players in the group?

so, this is obviously a question for people who dm alot - what material goes into your campaign packet? for the most part, i tend to put in: character generation rules acceptable rules sources (for the players, at least ;)) character death rules XP / Treasure rules table rules (enforced), and...

i pipe in when i have something to say - and someone else hasn't done a reasonably good job of saying it already. but then again, i lurk everywhere.

yep, it's WiT. WitD is all about being one with the mitochondria, STP is (motor oil?) all about changing the life course of a dictator MW is biblical noah's ark stuff AAT is more back-in-time stuff. :D

another one for kalamar here i think the reason that it's often considered a low-magic setting is that the magic has not had a distinctly shaping role in the history of this world. some small parts of tellene are definetly highly influeced (pel brolenon, for instance), but there is no one...

thanks for the replies folks =). i was looking at that house rule and thinking something silmilar myself, though much more complicated. this saves me the time! anyhow, thanks!

it came up recently in a game i was a payer in that some members of the party, without access to trackless step or pass without trace, wished to cover their tracks. i was wondering if there has been any official (wotc) or ogl work on this idea?

i'm currently playing a lvl 8 scout in one of our campaigns, and i'm finding that it's being rather difficult to get good presicion damage dealt - the problem being that the DM keeps throwing us against things that are immune to sneak attack (and therefor skirmish). this is just a dm style vs...

surprised i havn't seen more votes for the Serenity/firefly RPG. cuz' me and many (offline) people i know are going to be all over that one...

i generally do agree that a voice for the readers IN the magazine is a good thing. in fact, i laughed my a#$ off at the koga letter, and really enjoyed the fact that you chose to share it with us. thanks. no, really! HOWEVER, later in that same dragon, some dingus wrote a letter based on...

i might suggest a second edit: Pirates of the Crimson Coast, not "crimson shore" ;) the only problem i have with playing that game is this: like all collectable games, the entire gameplay issue comes down to who can spend more money. and that's just boring, in the long run.

my first real gaming group lasted about 4-6 months, and had 2 campaigns in that time. this was way back in the days of 2nd ed... between then and about 14 months ago, i had no campaigns that lasted longer than 5-6 sessions. it was very frustrating anyhow, about 14 months ago, i started with...

if i'm a player, i usually just let the DM decide what he/she wants to do about the situation - though i do get very annoyed with a no-call no-show approach to gaming. as a DM, if they NCNS me, i get really pissed off. really really pissed off. like to the point where i havn't gamed a campaign...

good stuff in here! bravo

there is also slave pricing, divided up by race, class, skills, age, and other interesting factors, in the Kingdoms of Kalamar Player's Guide. i can't give the info here, since it's copyrighted, but i can say the book is a good one - though it is very clearly a 3.0 book rather than a 3.5.

just to snip to the relavent point on this one: we have a player in my regular group (in which i am also a player) who just doesn't understand the idea of memorizing spells on her druid - so she doesn't prepare them, just casts off the top of her head. now, she is relativly new to D&D, and...

sounds like you have a FLGS that i wouldn't support - however, i support my FLGS by buying things there rather than hastings or toys'r'us, when the prices are within a few dollars. why do i support the local store, even though i disagree with many of its game-room policies? because, it's better...

actually, one of the big problems that a lot of people had is that is EXACTLY what tsr did. and they did it very poorly, with a badly-written trilogy of fiction that mirrors cortez, and an even worse set of modules based on the novels. (Ironhealm, Viperhand, The Feathered Dragon, IIRC). and...
