No apology necessary. I initially gave him a flat 'No'. We discussed it in a few e-mails back and forth, and then he started this thread. The fact that he signed up and made this his first post - added to the obvious excitement he has when talking about playing a psion - caused me to rethink...

I generally agree with this approach, when someone wants to play something that is within the milieu of the fantasy game, but how would you feel if someone in your traditional D&D game wanted to play a d20 modern gunbunny, or a bizarre mutated super ala Trinity...it might give you pause, rightly...

Well, let me see... 1) Magic: Psionics, as already mentioned, is a variant of magic...for all intents and purposes it is magic. We already have both Divine and Arcane, do we really need another category? Is there anything you can do with Psi that you can't do with the core magic system by...

Some background: I ran an epic game which ended with the PCs ascending to godhood around 30th level. We started over with 1st level characters in the same campaign world (two of the new PCs are clerics of the newly ascended gods), and I got to thinking that it would be cool to switch back to...

If anyone is interested, Los will be presenting his request to the party as a whole on Sunday, I had him make two PCs (one Psi and one not)...so we'll see.

NO, NOT THE BLACK LEAF!!!!

It's sad when a charecter that you've put a lot of effort into (either in playing time or backstory) dies. I once had a charecter in a CoCd20 game that I had written a really detailed, and sordid, background for. I was really excited about playing him...he died in the first session...before I...

Lately I have really ramped up the amount of time I'm spending preparing for the game...I'd have to say at least a couple hours a day of reading/thinking/actual prep. Coupled with the 5 hours of actual gaming every week, I guess that comes to about 17 hours a week. The amount of time I spend...

What? There are other subcultures, other things you can do besides play D&D and wait to play D&D?

I would not be inclined to give in to a player who tried that tactic with me. Fortunately, all my players are mature and communicative.

To be honest, the only problems I've had trying to game at Gen-con were when I was playing RPGA games. Every other game I've played there has been enjoyable to one degree or another. Gen-con also has it's fair share of seminars and roundtables.

Once, in a 2nd ed game we had just started, the party was trapped somewhere (down a pit, IIRC) and we were running down the list of equipment we'd bought at character creation to see what we had that could be of use. The conversation went something like this... PC1: 'I have 50 feet of rope.'...

Agreed. Pay no attention to my location...

Double Post, see below

Hey now, I said we could talk about it, that's not a guaranteed yes. I am not a pushover....ok, well maybe I am.

Hiya Los! Betcha didn't know I read/post here now :-) Ya know, if you're really that set on playing a Psion, maybe we can talk about it some more... Sincerely, Talmun the Insane Fire-Mage and Los Bastardo's Psionics-Hating DM

Here's one done by one of my players http://www.geocities.com/arthursgrail/ArthursGrailRecordSheet.html

Ok, fair enough. I can appreciate that line of thinking (I can certainly appreciate that thinking actually went into this product, as opposed to some RPG products I can name), I still would've liked to have 'official stats' or at least a detailed history of each main Arthurian character; after...

I allow my players to use something (feat, spell, PrC) from a 3.0 book only if it hasn't been converted (Deepwoods Sniper) and after I've looked it over and done any updating/modification that needs doing (Weapon Master). On top of that, the 3.5 books for clerics and arcane casters haven't been...

No offence, but I've always hated this reasoning. Especially now, in 3.X when monsters are handled so much like PCs, it seems patently unfair to say "You can't attack Arthur, I don't care if you are 30th level, he's untouchable..." If you want your NPCs not to be killed by the party members...
