Very interested in this and I am brainstorming a bit on my own. I did have a question or two and since other potential writters might have the same I thought I would post it here. It revolves around this sentence: "For each timeline, we're looking for a list of alternate classes modeled on...

Usually homebrew. I feel much more successful and competent when I run my own stuff, although I do borrow heavilly here and there. I do, however, try some published stuff on occasion when it really strikes me.

Sometimes campaign suggestions make me plan out and advancement for a character. For example, if I were told up front we were going to play a pirates game I might start with the plan to go for a specific prestige class. More often it just evolves, but i try to have a guiding concept that will...

Hmm...OK I know this doesnt technically work by the RAW but how about: Abysal paraillithid half-green dragon giant psion?

Expedition to the System of the Spider Moon - based on the Starjammer mingame update in Polyhedron. I know that Monte said there is an unofficial policy against this, but his image of blaster wielding mindflayers makes me wanna play something like that. I, like many others, only came in to DnD...

No, no it doesn't. I am a Cleric (CG) and need to get these things strait so that I know who to denounce and why.

Ditto. Black and green dragons, and large numbers of dragonspawn, half-dragons, etc. Barbarian tirbes led by dragon shaman holy men. To make this interesting have what appears to be a vast uncivilized wasteland turn out ot be rife with life and society, just different than what the PCs are...

More importantly, would a sheep polymorphed into a comly elf maid.... err never mind. If a cleric took the bones of said polymorphed chicken and cast Ressurection on them what would result? A chicken or a person? If it came up in game I would rule that it was the person who was restored...

As others have said, simply for speed and ease of use we do a straight 50% on all items (other than art objects) with rare occasions when the PCs come across something that has value beyond its apparent worth - such as some MW items that belonged to a historic company of soliders who died in a...

Spellscales from Races of the Dragon I may be wrong but it seems like there is one in Bo9S

It should be noted that all of the books in the series with Sahasra (Baba Yaga etc) were all written to be compatible with the core rules and thus use those classes and conventions. However, taking the info in Sahasra its not that hard to adapt other WotC and non-Wotc material to create a...

Races that developed underground might have other senses that would orient them to "time" - an electromagnetic sense, for example, might respond to the "tides". Thus, even though they could not see the moon they could be affected by it. In a fantas setting that could just as easily be a...

In your campaign world, who can learn to cast spells? Obviously it takes at least a non negative prime ability modifer mechanically speaking, but beyond that what does it take? Does it require "the gift" (however you may define that) for magic and if so what distinguishes the gift of those who...

Bullgrit, as others have said, is correct. My accent waxes and wanes in proportion to my proximety to certain members of my family. A master's degree and nearlly 2 years in Kiev, Ukraine filed most of the rough edges off of it, but some words from my childhood crop up. My wife, OTOH, was...

Yeah, I would be still, but dont know how much I could do by way of organization. Would still be willing to run a game or otherwise help out.

See, I dont find RPGs any more inherently ridiculous than say a bunch of guys all sitting around in brightly colored shirts with numbers or stylized pictures of animals on them yelling and jumping up and down due to the actions of another similarly clad but far more athletic group of men...

Does social standing have a place in your game? Sometimes. When we played Eberron the fact that one of the PCs was a Cannith Artificer was important. In another game the ties that the PCs had to various minor aristocratic houses became very important. When you make up a background for your...

Very nearly none. I wont say it doesnt happen on occasion, but it would be my prefrence that it not happen at all. Out of game jokes about gaming are great, but when I play I dont want that. I would, however, be OK with a game where we said "Alright this is going to be a silly game for 2-3...

We tend to use alternate death methods, as discussed in the thread mentioned above, to make PC death less likely - even darn near impossible. There are some other options: - PC dies, has life after death experiance, revives and is marked by the experiance. Physical changes, say pale skin and...

That would have to be me. Pastor of a Baptist Church in rural Alabama. Of course my wife is the Director of Creative Services for a large faith based University, and the other player in out group is the Web Content Manager. So I guess we are all a bit unexpected.
