    Gnome haters? It's Lockwood's fault!

    What about the Eberron Gnomes? I don't mind them; Gnome mafia, anyone? Although, my favorite gnomes are still on Athas...

    How is YOUR Forgotten Realms Different?

    WOW! I want to thank everybody for their input. This is so much more than I expected. And just to clear a few things up, I don't HATE the named characters. I actually really like most of them, even Drizz't, although way back in one of my 2e games he was a cambion with two flamberge's instead of...

    How is YOUR Forgotten Realms Different?

    I'm not really sure what this post is about. I started this thread simply because I wanted to know how other people changed their FR setting. I plan on doing it and I wanted some ideas. If you like the FR setting as is, that's great, I'm not knocking it. I've played in the Realms as is. I've...

    How is YOUR Forgotten Realms Different?

    Do you run a FR campaign? What have you changed about the basic setting? Have you imported classes/races/gods/nations/ from other game settings (Scarred Lands,Eberron, Arcana Evolved,etc.). Have you changed entire countries to your liking? I've always had a love/hate relationship with FR. I...

    Monte Cooks "Ptolus"

    Monte's long running "Ptolus" campaign, in a book. 640 pages?! How much is this thing going to be? And is anybody else excited about it?

    Any good Scifi+cyberpunk rpgs?

    I feel what you're feeling. Cyberpunk 2020 is still one of my favorite games. The whole Fuzion ruleset (from Mekton, Bubblegum Crisis, Champions) didn't really do that much for me. Still, I'm keeping my fingers crossed.

    Revenge of the Sith a flop?

    I can't believe "Crocodile Dundee" is only #2!

    WotC comes to you and asks you to pick a setting...

    The problem with AU/AE is that it's pretty much an entirely different game. Different Races, Different Classes...different handbook. No D&D Standards. It doesn't fit with what Mouse is asking.

    Dungeon #124 - Who are these guys?

    The new "Iconics" are: Drow Bard (male) Tiefling Fighter (female) Cleric of Wee Jas (female) Old Iconics: Human Paladin (male) Elf Rogue (male) Human Sorcerer or Wizard (male) Human Ranger (female...maybe she's a half elf?) I think they're not naming them or giving them levels so that they...

    Rifts -- Who's played it?

    I'm jealous. Whenever I brought the idea up to my group they looked at me funny. I was never sure if it would work well. Also, the thought of trying to adapt Ascension rules to the new reality was very daunting. I'd imagine you had to make a lot of changes to the "core" Rifts setting. There's...

    Rifts -- Who's played it?

    I love the setting. Put it on a diet and trim some of the fat off and it would be great. If I ever played again I'd probably do a D20 Modern/Future conversion of it. I recommend the rule book, any version of it. Played straight up from that it's not TOO out of whack. OK, maybe it is, but still...

    Recommend me books like SoIaF

    Another Vote for R. Scott Bakker and his Prince Of Nothing series. I'd put it right next to Martins SOFAI series....maybe a notch above? Maybe. I think it's a bit more brutal then Martins books, actually. Besides Akka, there's not one character I can say I actually LIKE, although they're all...

    What would you like to see in Dungeon?

    I voted for "It already rules"...but then I realized I would like it more if Erik Mona wrote an adventure for at least every other issue. He is SUCH a slacker! C'mon dude, Seriously.

    What would you like to see dropped from Dungeon?

    While I can understand all you "Downer" haters (I like it), I can't understand all the Mt. Zogon Haters. It's not just one of my favorite D&D comic strips, It's one of my favorite Strips PERIOD (along with Perry Bible Fellowship) I voted to nix "the Portent". Someone mentioned that Wil Save...

    Weapons of Legacy preview

    Another vote for "Looks neat" . I haven't played it in years, but didn't Earthdawn do something pretty similar to this? Like, excatly? Not that It's a bad thing.

    What are you listening to?

    I usually only get to listen to music in the car. I drive for about three hours a day so it's not so bad. The Decemberists new album "Picaresque"; Stars "Set Yourself On Fire", the new Architecture in Helsinki. I'm really chomping at the bit for Sleater-Kinney's new one "The Woods". That and I...

    Help me come up with a character concept!

    WOW! Thanks everybody! This has already garnered more feedback then I would have thought. So far I like the dwarven wizard raised by elves (nice surprise ending there), the Ranger/Warlock that hates his evil nature (although, I really dislike Warlocks...), and the Monk-4/Paladin-X ... more of a...

    Help me come up with a character concept!

    I'm kinda dry here folks. I want to play something a little different. I don't want to play a pious human paladin, a dim-witted half-orc barbarian,a nature loving elven ranger, or a sneaky halfling rogue, or anything "typical" (not that there are any problems with playing something "typical"). I...

    Advantages to single PC games

    Amen to that. I've only played in one solo campaign. It was Cyberpunk 2020. The campaign lasted a good 4 years (this was quite remarkable for us). The first half of the first year was with three players, second half with two. Then there were two full years of "hot one on one action". The last...

    Palladium Fantasy home conversions?

    WOW! I can't wait till "Rifts:Greenland" comes out! I did use some of Palladiums world for my old 2nd ed. homebrew. Although, the wolfen were barbaric, not roman. And the "Eastern Kingdom" was a few different ones, with actual names. I remember Deaths Kiss. I think one of the players had it...
