    I'm burning out, again....

    I would say try to run something else with another group or play in another group. if your group really matters to you you will still want to run it at this point and if your having too much fun in the new group you might just up and decide to do something else besides gaming with your old...

    Andy Collins: "Most Magic Items in D&D Are Awful"

    So basically buying and creating magic items diminishes magic items in some way is what your rules imply-- not that I disagree....

    Are magic arms and armour overpriced?

    I don't think any of the magic items are overpriced... lol. To me the idea of magic items is not that you should be going to a shop and having them made frequently, but that you should be finding them out on your adventures. The commission of a magic item should be rare.

    What's the game balance reason for needing a +1 weapon before enchanting further?

    Cost aside I think magic items also get a much greater hardness and resistance to damage (Each +1 adds 2 hardness and 10 hp's). Sinking you money into the item might as well afford you a bit more protection against having it ruined. Also, flaming or keen are coined as magical abilities but...

    Where do you see the evolution of the D&D game heading?

    I run an online games server (www.openrpg.com Mayhem Gaming Server) as well as manage an online gaming site (link in signature). think online gaming is on fire and will grow as time goes on. It's simply too convenient. That said table top games will always have their place. People tend to...

    Andy Collins: "Most Magic Items in D&D Are Awful"

    OK, I read the article. Its all wrong. Equating cost to magic items isn't a be all end all nor is any character guaranteed to have more than 2 items from the big six. It goes back to the fact that playing DnD is about knowing how to use you character and not just your magic items. Cost is...

    VGT Comparisons

    I like OpenRPG. First and foremost its free. It also sports a decent map system. I have added alot of game content to it on my website and there are plenty of miniatures and maps out there to use. I have also written quite a few tutorials for it to make it easier to learn. I've also begin...

    Attitude of summoned creatures

    No one likes doing work for free unless your on the same side (alignment wise) and those summoned creatures so know they are in for some pain as they get sent to the worst part of the fray for flanking reasons, lol.

    How many sessions do you give a new game?

    I'd say give it two to three sessions. If your really miserable at two why go on?

    Why is armor less emphasized?

    Well you just wear armor and it simply works. The idea of a weapon is not that you can hold it and it will do the attacking for you. The only limits of armor is design once you have it on your back. Limits of weaponry are a lot if you cant hold it, use it or know how to attack with it. I do...

    What's Wrong with Virtual Tabletop Play?

    Well as far as traveling that extra hour or whatever, it costs money. A dial up connection would suffice for online gaming on OpenRPG and it would cost about the same. The computer is a one time investment really. Definitely don't knock it till you try it. Scheduling is a no brainer for...
