    Fellow DM, How do you handle Hit Point at each new level ?

    I allow the player to either pick half or roll, the smaller the hit dice, the safer it is to roll, obviously. In our Midnight campaign, we altered it a bit and allow the person to take half if the roll was less than that, but that's a tough place to live.

    Background Music

    There have been some good suggestions. I would add (for 'fantasy') Vas (indian and middle eastern) Last Temptation of Christ Sntrck (Peter Gabriel's score. Avoiding the controversy of the movie! Has syth drums which sound too clean in bits but there are some outstanding tracks) Tears of...

    What Race Do You Usually Play?

    Wow. It would be wise for companies thinking about making racial 'spatbooks' to look at these results. We certainly are suckers for an extra feat and some extra skills, eh? Would the poll results read the same if every race got two feats at first level?

    Your First Gaming Book?

    12 years old (1981) Players Handbook (1st edition). DMG and Monster manual soon followed. I remember getting the Monster Manual at Meijer! (a grocery/retail store, sorta like Walmart)

    How do you feel about 3e's art style?

    I think some of you need to go look at your old books again. The new artwork is, for the most part, a great improvement. There's a lot of good memories backing up your fondness for the old art, granted, but the production values (full color, etc) and the variety are wonderful.

    Two 20s, no 1s - how often do you use altered dice?

    Man, I certainly have never cheated like that, and I hope that nobody in my group does. If I somehow found out I'd force them to treat a month or two's worth of 20's to count as 1's.

    Has anyone ever tried to 'save' you from D&D?

    In high school my dad wanted me to quit because I was spending weekends with all my friends in the basement instead of going out and looking for girls - which is really ironic since when I found a gf, he told me I was spending too much time/energy on her. As far as religion goes, I am a...

    Good Swashbuckling D&D Type Game?

    I first played Swashbuckling Adventures (SA) at Gencon last year. I ended up getting generic tickets and playing in every single SA event there was to offer. I purchased the rulebook and started a campaign right when I got home. It's a blast. If you like the world from 7th sea you will...

    Military base dungeon crawl: Need help with game idea

    As far as designs of the base, think Half-Life. Each level of the base would serve a function, some would provide their own obstacles (defense systems, toxic leaks, etc). Perhaps power would have to be restore to activate life support in certain areas, or to make elevators and computers...

    Good online roleplaying app?

    A few people in my gaming group have told me they could game more if we could play online, via our home computers instead of face to face. I would do this if I could find a way to bring the tabletop experience to the PC. Is there any recommendations for doing this. Things I'd like to maintain...

    What do you know about D20 Matrix?

    I've been thinking about it to but decided to wait until after Revolutions, in case our whole view of the Matrix gets thrown out the window by what happens! What I've noodled so far: Skills ranks and feats can be downloaded as a full round action. Focus - The character has a set amount of...

    Victorian Era D20?

    There was a Polyhedron minigame out recently, Iron Lords of Jupiter (?). That was Jules Verne style scifi, I believe.
