    China Mieville on D&D

    As much as I hate it when someone doesn't like a book or author or movie I love, I would hate even more to force it on someone. I think the interview is pretty representative of him as an author, so no matter what anyone says, you'd probably wouldn't dig him. :\

    China Mieville on D&D

    I am a rabid fan myself and subscribe to a fan list through Yahoo Groups - they always find these things for me. :) I can't wait for the Dragon article!

    China Mieville on D&D

    This is from an interview here: http://www.believermag.com/issues/200504/interview_mieville.php BLVR: Judah Low is a golemist. Golems are only ever clay. The only place I’m aware of them being comprised of other substances is in the old AD&D Monster Manual. The original Monster Manual. They...

    Romance? Err... ok?

    Sort of....in one campaign, we had a PC who got married to an NPC but it didn't really come up much in the actual game - travelling around a war-torn country while fighting evil is tough on a marriage. ;) In our current game, I play a character who has an unrequited crush on an NPC bard. The...

    So the consensus is 49,000 gp? ;) Thanks guys! I thought for a minute there I was imagining it.

    Anyone have the DMG handy?

    I'm at work and need to know the gp amount of treasure an average 10th level PC would have. This table isn't the in SRD, but I swear there is one in the DMG.

    Are you a good role player?

    I voted just average. I love to role-play and talk in character, but I get distracted easily.

    Are You a Good Tactician?

    I'm pretty bad. Luckily there are other people in the group who are much better than I am at tactics. I do better with puzzles. :)

    Best Damned Burger In the Area?

    My favorite from a chain is Steak 'n Shake. Good shakes, too. Yum. For local (Chicago) spots, I think Moody's Pub is pretty good: http://metromix.chicagotribune.com/dining/26991,0,1801879.venue For hot dogs, nothing beats Superdawg Drive-in...

    What is your favorite D&D monster?

    NEAT! No, I hadn't seen that. Thanks for sharing! :D

    What is your favorite D&D monster?

    I really, really like Beholders, too. I know they're sort of silly, but I can't help myself. They're alien-looking, they have a lot of frightening abilities. I think it's fun to come up with motivations and personalities for creatures like this (not to mention a lair for a critter that can...

    Where did Bahamut come from?

    Nah, A2Z has more posts than I do. I doubt a Hong reference would scare away such a veteran poster. ;)

    What is your favorite D&D monster?

    I'm going to cheat a little bit and paste what I've written on another board: Mine is the Gelatinous Cube. Maybe it's because they are tidy, equal-sided polyhedrons (I also love modrons) and it appeals to my sense of pattern and order. Maybe it's because they are absurd. Maybe it's because it...

    SCARY! I thought the same thing.... :uhoh:

    Alignment Axis expansion

    I've been thinking about using the taint rules from UA in place of alignments. I sort of like the idea of certain magics being very corrupt and palpably evil. :]

    What is your favorite D&D monster?

    I'm bored and in work-avoidance mode and these sorts of threads are always amusing. :) This can also count as research, since I may be starting a new campaign in the next month or two and I'm always looking for critters to use. So, what is your favorite monster and why?
