Lawful Good Here Almost always I play a good aligned character. More often than not, it is Lawful Good. Please note that LG does not mean Lawful Stupid nor does it mean my character has to go around chastizing those who are not LG or attempt to convert them to LG-ness. Yes, LG pretty much...

11-13 for me Fall of 1978, and I was 12. My older brother just started highschool and brought home the (original) boxed set--the one with the light blue cover. He had me roll up 3 characters and he proceeded to DM me through the dungeon which was located at the back of the book. My first...

I voted "both equally" because I live and work at a boarding school.

Bachelor of Science in Physics. Minor in Sociology. Now I'm a math teacher.

I like the idea of the iconic characters. Even though I've been playing since '78, it is kind of nice to have a face associated to some of the classes. Because of the miniature line, I'm currently playing Devis and Krusk!

To go a step further than the current Halfing size vs. actual child discussion, my son (age 14, about 5' 1" and weighs about 100 pounds) is currently playing an elf who, coincidentally is about the same size. It is nice to have an actual elf sitting at the table. My other son is dwarf...

or C) Do whatever you want to do with them regarding experience. Our group generally uses option C) when dealing with others who aren't PCs. Essentially, we figure out the experience for each party member excluding the hirelings/followers/cohorts/groupies and then simply assign an appropriate...

Perhaps as I've gotten older, it had become more important to me to give each player enough space to spread out and enough light so we can each see. Then again, maybe I've been this way my entire gaming career! Anyway, we play in my basement using two large tables put together which gives us...

My son is playing a 4th level Ranger who just found his first animal companion. He really wanted a tiger, so the DM gave him a baby one which has all of the abilities of a standard wolf. As the Ranger increases in levels, the tiger will improve until it gets "full tiger status" when the Ranger...

For the "Hold" spells (person, monster, etc.), the spell description reads, "Each round on its turn, the subject may attempt a new saving throw to end the effect (this is a full round action that does not provoke an AoO)." In essence, the creature gets 2 saving throws before my character has...

I agree with Kamikazee Midget. A 3 in Charisma means your character completely lacks...well...character. Having a big ego (as in the wizard example) is an example of a high charisma, but maybe no people skills. Whomever you play, I suggest you play someone who almost never speaks up, rarely...

I love A1 I DM'd A1 on two seperate occasions. Once using the pre-rolled characters in the back. The other with a group of 5th level PCs. Total Party Loss (TPL) on both occasions. None of the players complained either, so the adventure had been going well to that point and is one of the...

Once 3.0 came out, our group started new characters at first level. My Vegetarian Half-Orc Monk, Grimloch, just made it to 16th level...ooo..Quivering Palm. Our group tends to change PCs and campaigns about every 3 months or so..playing weekly during the summer and every other week when school...

Got 2 cases today. Opened up 10 packs so far. Wife and kids will give me the other case for Father's Day (it was so nice of them!). So far, I'm very pleased, both with the paint jobs and the distribution. I've got every common and uncommon in the set, 8 different rares, and 8 different Huge...

A couple of thoughts regarding your fraidy cat PC-- 1. (noted before)--Have the other PCs talk to the offending PC in character. If the group is putting their collective neck on the line, then why bother with the PC who runs away all of the time? If a PC doesn't watch my character's...

Our group has never used Cleave and Great Cleave to get two attacks. In fact, we've never even thought of it. Are you sure this is how it is supposed to work? Rather, as someone posted earlier, you kill something and get a Cleave attack. If that attack kills that creature, then you get...

"Pretty ball with wiggily things" My 2e 18th level fighter who possessed a combined intelligence and wisdom of 9 was on watch one night at a keep. While walking the parapet (sp?), a "pretty ball with wiggily things" on it floated by, so he ran across the walkway, leapt off the top of the wall...

Having each player play more than 1 PC can work provided the player avoids having his two characters working as a team with some sort of "telepathy". If the player can play the two characters as two seperate entities, it can work.

Currently DMing a Rappan Athuk game. The party is on level 3--just met up with the Rakshasa--who promptly killed the Cleric I was playing. Started with nine PCs and have had 7 deaths so far. I'm letting players bring in another PC starting one level lower than the average party level...
