Wow, those sound great! Can't wait to hear what the SSP is. :) Also, I second the motion for a book on ancient Rome. I'm nutty for anything Roman.

We tend to make our characters as a group and will reserve part of a session to at least tweak and discuss ideas and rules if not actually make characters. I might have a concept or a class or ability or whatever that I've had in mind to try for some time, but the actual details probably won't...

WizarDru, very nice description/explanation! You beat me to it, but I went to my favorite online source, Wikipedia, and got pretty much the same thing: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bahamut Funny enough, though, Wikipedia also mentions D&D and Final Fantasy in their entry. :D edit: they have...

The closest I could find was on the Diamond Throne web site: http://www.diamondthrone.com/displaycontent.cfm?iCatId=4&iConID=337 I don't think this is exactly like the rules in UA, unfortunately. :\

That's kinda nice. :) Actually, I don't know where the sheets for some of my dead characters are. I think the DMs might have them. :uhoh:

Just a couple of points to clarify. We're playing in a high level game (currently 15th level) and my last character had to be....retired, for lack of a better term. The DM has rules about the kinds of magic items one can have, but each character has a special/unique item that is related to the...

The other part of this that I should have mentioned is that the weapon also has an agenda/purpose. Doesn't that get sort of weird for the DM to play?

I am playing a new character who has an intelligent weapon with a definite (strong) personality and the ability to speak. I've never had a character with an intelligent item before and I was wondering how you handle such things in your game. Does the DM "play" the item or does the player or did...

I have a slightly different problem. There are certain classes I'd like to try but for various reasons don't get to. For example, I've never played a monk or paladin and until recently, I'd never played a rogue (or thief back in the day either). Either someone else is playing that class (and I...

hmmmm....I think I could probably play just about any race if I were in the right mood or the inspiration hit me. I think I would have the toughest time with elves, though. The stereotype is of the haughty elf is too strong in my group right now that even if I came up with a cool concept that...

That's just wrong. In fact, this whole thread is wrong. Now I have to point it out to my whole gaming group so that they can see how wrong it is. Except for the DM, of course. He doesn't need to see this.

OK, as someone who is currently playing in it, I have to say that parts of it can be really deadly. Our party has been moving through the first section pretty quickly. We started at 1st level and are now 3rd level. We bypassed a couple of big enounters by sneaking past and after last night's...

hmmmmm.....not sure what to make of this yet. Part of me would really like to have all of the spells from the SRD and the various other Wizards releases (the Complete books, for example) in one neat package for ease of use, but it doesn't sound like that is what this is exactly. I'm interested...

I apologize if there is another thread on this, but I got too excited about the Beast Builder book to look too far. I just bought it and man, it is really, really good. The Expeditious Retreat people are very good at what they do. Not only is it a comprehensive look at building monsters keeping...

Is that really true? :( I'm really sorry if it is. My mom was the one who bought me D&D stuff when I was a kid. I saw it in a magazine and wanted it and she really encouraged anything that she perceived as being imaginative and educational. I didn't always get along with my mom, but at least...

WOW! Yeah, I had forgotten those. I'm glad I'm not the only one who was annoyed by the cant in Planescape. For the most part, whenever we played in FR, we more or less forgot NPCs like Elminster existed, simply because our DM never brought them up. But there is this one guy in our group that...

Darn! I know I've seen replacement level abilities for paladins somewhere, though they might not specifically address the spellcasting issue. Maybe in Dragon? Sorry, I'm blanking here.

This is me, too. I start with a character concept and try to find a mini that is similar. Sometimes I'm lucky, sometimes not. I love, love, love to paint minis but only just recently have I started to alter them, so my conversions are even less sophisticated than switching weapons. For a...

You don't understand, Dread - we fear the sock puppet. It's scary. As for the original question, no, it's not something I'd be into. I do dress differently when I game because we game on weekends and I finally can stop wearing my work clothes - yay, jeans! :D I have used small props from time...

As a player in that game, I do agree in this case - the player in question is much happier, too, to the point that she is able to stop worrying about the rules and create interesting and different characters that just happen to be fighters of one type or another. But, I also think that this is...
