In the immortal words of Ed McMahon, "YOU are correct sir!" I read that series when it first came out, and that scene must have stuck in my head, because it definitely inspired my actions. although, now that i think about, the book scene must have gotten mixed up in my recollection. Now that...

I am not sure what you are referring to, unless its from some book, perhaps?! I have read alot of books, both great and trivial, but my memory escapes me on this particular incident. Its very probable that I had read something that inspired this incident, which was about ten years ago, but I...

As a DM, I let a player try anything, but I always let them know the DC ahead of time, just to make them cognizant of the odds. Some hear the odds and wince, but others charge right ahead. I had a barbarian try to jump DOWN on top of an aquatic ogre(IIRC) in an underground lake. The ogre had...

The craziest thing I personally ever attempted as a PLAYER was to leap off a cliff onto the back of a fleeing black dragon. The character was a 10th level Dwarven fighter with multiple attacks. This was in a 2nd Edition game, so the DM ruled that to jump onto his back, I had make a separate...

My group falls in the #1 category. we average about 50/50 between ingame and outside of game activities. Currently we have 7 members, of which one is semiretired due to the fact that we all live in Des Moines and he moved to Toledo, Ohio last summer. We still talk to him on a regular basis...

its a small but important part of my life. I used to spend much more time on it, but after 23 years of gaming, other concerns have invaded my life and the lives of my friends. We still get together every 2 weeks or so, usually for about 6 to 8 hours a session. I probably spend about double...

FOTR-the Balrog of course (errrr....I mean Boromir) TTT-tie between Gollum and Aragorn ROTK-the Kings--tie between Aragorn and Theoden Trilogy as a whole, probably a tie between Gandalf and Aragorn, with Samwise rounding out the top three. After ROTK extended version is available, I will...

Thank you all again for your replies. I cannot say at this time that I have made a decision one way or the other yet. As Sir Whiskers and Elder-Basilisk said, there are advantages to sticking with 3.0 and house ruling certain aspects from 3.5. The bottom line is that we decide as a group...

Thanks to all for the replies. Its true that on the surface it seems unfair to use the 3.0 rules while tweaking with a couple of individual spells (i.e. Haste), but I only did this after polling the players after our first session back. I initially had decided to use the 3.5 rules, but the 1st...

The 1st level arcane spell Ray of Enfeeblement has come up in discussion with one of my players lately. is there any errata for the 3.5 version or not? It no longer gets a save, unlike in 3.0 when it did. I started my campaign well over a year ago in 3.0, but had to go into hiatus for about 6...

i am currently reading Stone of Tears by Terry Goodkind and finding it to be a good read, even though it seems similar to Robert Jordan's WOT in many ways. But there are more than enough unique elements to intrigue me in the series so far. Other than that I spend most of my time reading...

Yeah, looking over the portfolios of Deities and Demigods (both the new 3rd Edition and the old 1st Edition volume) I thought of all the evil Deities, Hel(a) had the most promise. Her cult was described as harboring resentment against all other cults of the other Deities, and Hel(a) herself...

A couple of things I forgot: the remaining Giants of both Jotunheim and Muspelheim have already attempted at least once to conquer the mortal races following Ragnarok. Fire and Frost Giants of both mortal and divine rank banded together under new avatars of Surtur and Thrym to try to enslave...

I started a similar style campaign last April in a post-Ragnarok world. Most (but not all) of the Aesir had perished as well as most of their divine foes, Giants or otherwise. The main divine antagonist is Hela, who usurped her father Loki's status and is head of all evil in my campaign. The...

I know its old and its been used to death, but Descent into the Depths of the Earth would be very helpful. If you have it or can get it, that is.

I just looked in my first DnD box set (1980 Erol Otus cover, pinkish looking box - did it used to be red?) I was surprised to see my original B3 Palace of the Silver Princess with my own juvenile notes and scribbles inside. Also lurking in that box were several of my oldest characters: an...

OMG, these are killing me!!! I cannot take anymore. I am laughing so hard my side is aching...... by the way, this definitely needs to be archived so it can be enjoyed for years to come.

I voted for the Sunless Citadel(leading into the Forge of Fury), but I have to give a strong second place vote to The Wizards Amulet/Crucible of Freya. I have started 2 different campaigns since 3rd Edition debuted, and both have worked well.

On a side note, I sent Mr.Trampier money for a Wormy graphic novel that was in the works in the mid-80s. Much to my disappointment, a month or so later I got a letter from him (with my money back) saying he was having problems getting the project off the ground and thanking me for my interest...
