    Love and the DnD experience

    In three separate instances throughout my gaming career, romance played an integral role in the development of storyline and character growth, twice with me as a DM and once with me as a player. These never caused any difficulties, but made for great roleplaying sessions (something my current...

    What's the big deal with point buy?

    I actually witnessed a set of rolls like this once with the DM in my first gaming group.

    The very first time I DM'ed...

    My first time as a DM I ran an adventure based on the song "Sacred Heart" by Dio. Great song, crapulous game.

    How do you tell someone that they smell?

    I have an extremely keen sense of smell, so I make it a point to not game or even associate with anyone who is hygenically challenged. I was standing at the gaming section of my local Hastings when two guys walked up and butted in on a conversation I was having with my son over a book...

    Thoughts and Observations on episode 1 of Savage Tide (SPOILERS!)

    Via post or FLGS? I really want to take a gander at this Adventure Path (Neither I or my players have ever liked running pre-gen'd adventures). We're currently running a sea faring game, and this sounds really good.

    Memorable Dragons

    One of the very first 1e campaigns I ever played in involved a huge ancient red dragon guarding one of Asmodeus' storehouses in Hell. I was playing an anti-Paladin, and one of the class abilities was an innate charm ability. After discussing several plans, my character just strides up to the...

    Best Laid Plans....

    In a 3.0 campaign, a priest, seeking to concoct a draught that would numb the pain a lizardman prisoner was experiencing due to severe interrogation (with no ranks in brew, alchemy, anything), bungles the roll and the lizardman dies a frothing, twitching death. In a 2e game: The party is in a...

    How to Design Better Urban Adventures

    I actually used this hook, though with children being taken from a street festival. Everything else in it is nearly identical! The players loved that night's game, and to this day still reference "The Dark Harvest" whenever talk of fall festivals in real life come up.

    What has been your geekiest moment?

    I have one of the giant black d20's sitting on my desk as a paperweight and fuzzy d20's hanging from my mirror.

    Dragon Magic & the Dragonfire Adept base class

    **Sits back and waits for the inevitable "This book sucks!" - "This book rocks!" threads to start.**

    "Try Castles & Crusades", they say. But no one's playing it!

    Troll Lords is based here in Little Rock, and I knew some of those guys in college. One of their playtesters/editors plays in my sporadic D&D 3.5 game. He's offered to run C&C for us, but only myself and one other person showed any interest. Plus, we just don't have time for more than one on...

    Is it a good idea to pull a lever in a dungeon?

    There, in a nutshell, is why I love this game.

    Anything in Little Rock, AR?

    Yep...I drive by it at least 4 times a week. If you don't know where to look, you won't see it. It's in the old Krossroads Flea Market building. And who's Jason Curley?

    Victory *and* death: Would you enjoy this?

    Did it to end a 1e campaign as a player, and would do it again if it was a good story. I'm all about that hero stuff.

    Is it a good idea to pull a lever in a dungeon?

    There was no option for my answer: "Hell yes there is. You want XP don't you?"

    Previews for September and Beyond

    Wow...that's two minutes of my life I'll never get back. What a really disappointing preview.

    I cheated last game session

    I agree. Move to Arkansas and I'll show you a fair DM who runs fun games.

    Help me name some dragons...

    I once had a blue dragon in a campaign named Thunderstriker, and a silver in another named Splendor Ascendant on Argent Wings.
