Weren't there some soundtracks released for the Hercules and Xena TV shows? You might check some of those out. The Silver Marches have a lot of dwarven settlements. If you visit any of those, something like Stomp that is very percussive might be appropriate. I've only used music once. I had...

It really does depend on the campaign. Characters advance so fast in 3E that for a campaign of any length I prefer to start at 1st or 2nd level to have enough time to fit all the storyline in. The campaign I'm planning up now will start in the 4th to 7th range, but it's more short term, meant...

Perhaps, but how much fun is this dislike depriving the other players of? I just quit a gaming group after six and a half sessions because of all the in-fighting. I'd taken my concerns to the DM, and let the other players know both in character and out that I wasn't happy with the arguing...

Someone's already recommended a school in Atlanta, so I'm gonna plug the University of North Carolina. Chapel Hill is a great little town, near to some bigger towns. Another plus: last I heard the college's population was 60% female.

I keep hoping someone will put out a book of Celtic Monsters based on it, ideally with some text attached about the original legends associated with them.

19. The Hero with a Thousand Faces by Joseph Campbell 20. An Encyclopedia of Faeries by Katherine Briggs 21. A History of Britain : At the Edge of the World, 3500 B.C.-1603 A.D by Simon Schama edit: whoops, never was good with that counting thing.

Not a bad idea actually. Then you could go outside and walk a mile in your character's shoes. If only Converse Chuck Taylors came in more colors. Morninglord Orange-Yellow would be a cool color of shoes to wear for that one day a year I'm in a perky Katie Couric mood. :) RPGs have got to be...

You could laminate them. Laminating sheets aren't terribly expensive, and you could do a bunch of playing cards per sheet.

I'm mostly a lurker here. I'm 28 years old, and have been gaming since just before 2E came out, though I took the last few years of the 2E era off. I'm still close friends with my original gaming group from back then, even though we're scattered around quite a bit. I grew up and still live...

I think the last time I bought dice I spent about $30 for about half a dozen sets. I'd never spend more than $5 for a single die. Certainly not $100. Well, if I could use it to determine the outcomes of events in real life maybe. :) "Roll a grocery shopping check against DC 10. Oooh a 20...

I still have about 80% of the D&D characters I've ever played. A few of the earliest ones have dates on them. Those are very depressing and I don't like to look at them. One character sheet I burned in a campfire at an outdoor gaming session after he was retired. I regret doing that and will...

Thanks for the response. That makes perfect sense as a set of prereqs. It also explains the BAB +2 requirement, which seemed a bit redundant as written (I can't think of any class which would allow 15 ranks in spot without granting a BAB higher than +2). Assuming there is official erratta on...

I've been considering getting this, but something in the sample pages jumped out at me that makes me wonder about the PrCs. The Elven Spotter is a 10 level PrC with a prereq of 15 ranks of spot. Since max ranks in a class skill is level + 3, that means you'd need 12 levels in a class with spot...

This will probably only matter to about three people, but in Opera on the page with the menus at the top, every time the banner ad changes, the page reloads. This makes the page unusable under Opera. This doesn't happen with the side-menu version though.

I loved the Chronicles books, in fact they're what got me into D&D. I read them and said "If the game is half this fun, I want to play it now!" The Legends books were less good, and it was all downhill from there. The problem with DragonLance was that it needed to retire after the first set...

If I were a betting man, I'd bet a month's salary that the book (meaning novels) division will be sold off within a year. If you look at every single press release about the spinoffs it has nearly the identical text about this spinoff allowing them to focus on their core business of making...

I've been in love with the Realms since I first set eyes on the 1st Edition boxed set. The thing I love about it is the "fluff" (a term I despise because it's quite derogatory and dismissive). When I got the FRCS the first section I went to was the gods. I wanted to know who was in, who was...

Dragon #293 includes rules for vehicle combat in D&D, 4 Greyhawk dieties which apparently didn't make Dieties & Demigods, an article on character catchphrases, The Nightsong Infiltrator (a rogue-oriented PrC by Monte Cook), The Green Hunter (a Faithes of Faerun series PrC), an installment of...
