The Gamekeeper in Amsterdam used to be great for D&D and fantasy in general, but now they only stock the player's handbook. The American bookcenter has a large collection, but sells no singles. I just want a lot of lizardmen. Too many to hope for in a booster. I'll try those sites in the UK. UK...

A good point, I have used counters in the past, but I find that, for me, it is only a baby step up from using dice and beer caps.

I thought I'd get out of my lurker jacket and back into my posting jacket. I've started running the Age of Worms and my players love it. I'd like to have miniature support for the adventures for the icing on the cake. I do have some DDM miniatures, but unfortunately, I know of no stores here in...

Exactly, it is the disable device check you do not want to miss by 5 or more.

Ronma Pihoo, Tohmin of Dalacin

Character name: Ovoz Class:Wizard "this is our fighter, Gandar, and this is our wizard, Ovoz... wait a minute!"

I don't HAVE a character! So there! Rav

Give them the choice. 28 point buy or rolling by the book. No rerolls for "crappy" characters. You'll probably have them scrambling over the point buy. Rav

Meet interesing people. Flip a coin. Kill them/join them. Rav

Just had an idea: Gygax plays wargames. Gygax starts rolepaying with wargame. Brings out realtively simple game to roleplay. Several more editions come out in a span of 30 years, each one more customizable and arguably more complex. Game owning company brings out a wargame. Game owning company...

I hope you are having fun with this thread. I know I am. :) Rav

Ask him what the average between 1 and 3 is. Then ask him what the average between 1 and 4 is. Then slowly move up to 10. Rav

Hmmm. Not really selling it here, but D20 modern characters have either a feat or a talent every single level. This is also what makes it so adaptable. Of course, this makes character building more "complex" (because of the many choices). If you do not like the strength of the system, I wonder...

A patch for the jump from no spells at all to "look at me slinging fireballs!" could be that you would at most gain use of 2 spellcaster levels per character level. A fighter 8 (and every fighter level giving half arcane spellcasting), who takes his next level as wiz 1, would have a...

Tried it, too open for blatant min maxing. Example: Warriors and Experts both get a lot of feats at early levels. For the cost of 1 BAB and 4 hp (average), and a net two feats, all lvl 20 combatants can now have 9d6 sneak attack. I'd only use that system if I had only true theatre type...

It needs to be fixed. How? I have no idea. Some individual patches seem to work rather well, like the Duskblade. But not every concept demands a new base class. Perhaps a rule could be invented that would allow you to take two classes and put them in a blender? You want a fighter rogue? That's...

Very cool. I think your art has improved a lot, and you weren't shabby when I first saw your work 6 years ago. Rav

So the wrong way to play is in a way that makes it no fun for the rest of your group. Rav

The XP is abstract anyway, so I just allow them to level. I don't give them actual XPs though. They level, but they don't get the XPs. Rav

Very nice to share this story. Your first session is just something you'll never be able to repeat, but stories like this make me remember how detached from the rules I was the first couple of games. Good times! Rav
