    Stagnant PCs and what to do.

    Perhpas even make the cure more of a "suppressant". After taking it for one week, you lose one point of Str and gain 1 point of int for each day you drink it after that. If you stop drinking it, after one week you lose one point of int and gain one point of str. If he keeps drinking it for 6...

    Who do you game with?

    My main group is long time friends, but I do occasionally game with others I've met through the FLGS. Rav

    What would you have done?

    In my opinion, if you want moral issues, you have to drop alignment. The reason is that the alignment system primarily supplies a simplified moral system, that allows Good guys and Bad guys to use magic to hurt the other specifically (Smite Evil, Blasphemy etc). If morally questionable acts...

    What Dragon Magazine articles do you use in your game?

    Monsters. A few spells. Usually they are just used for one encounter, so I couldn't say which issue. Oh, we do use the Elven Thinblade and Great Scimitar from 275 (I don't have any of the more recent sources). Rav

    Looking for DM screen

    Bah, I've got page numbers memorized, and the book on my sidetable at all times :)

    How fast do new characters join the group?

    As soon as logical in game, but I generally aim for "as soon as the PC is fully created". More famous parties will have people come up to them and say "I have heard of your exploits, I am blah blah, and would like to join your group". A light strech of the imagination, but gaming time is few and...

    Broke into the next 1000 posts to beat Crothian.

    Well, my postcount is now 132 posts less/more, after I returned from a birthday (and consecutively, was asleep... and I only slept for 5 hours...) Rav

    Looking for DM screen

    A bit more cosntructive: I actually really like the WotC 3.5 screen. Skill checks, actions in combat, turn undead table, 4 panels, good artwork (one whopping big red Dragon), and most importantly, landscape orientation. Anyone want my 3.0 Kenzer sheet? Will cost you nothing more than P&P from...

    Broke into the next 1000 posts to beat Crothian.

    Only 25999 posts to go to beat crothian! I think that calls for a celebration! Or not. Of course, i spent far too long writing this post, and will probably never break this limit ever again. Anyone else here very close to breaking into the next 1000 for catch up? Rav

    Looking for DM screen

    I hate the Kenzer DM screen. I've tried using it for 2 years, but it is a useless piece of crap, with too much information you'll never ever need, obscuring the info you do need, so-so artwork (the gimmick of "now they're fighting, now they aren't", is cute...once), and panels constantly move...

    We're Going To Do Return to the Tomb of Horrors and One Player has Freaked Out!

    The DM held up the module for all to see? Smiling, was he? Has the DM dropped hints lately that he would like to start a new, lower level, campaign? Rav

    3.5ed is the one true game

    I am wondering whether people use the preview first post in thread option... and whether they are aware that it erases formattting... yes, I really do wonder... Oh, sorry, I am running off topic... Rav

    Complete Crothian thread (merged)

    Well, he has a lot of posts. So just go read some of them, and you'll find out soon enough. (HAHAHA! And then his nefarious mind control device will make you one of his followers!) Rav

    Run only gestalt characters. It is the way the game is meant to be played. Rav

    Whats the best you've ever rolled

    Same game, I played Germany, attacked the russians. Attacked one territiory with tanks, infantry, and 6 planes. After the first round he shot 5 of them down with AA (ie, of 6 dice, he rolled 5 1s). Bye bye luftwaffe. Rav

    Has anyone found themselves becoming a worse player?

    I am the DM of our group, or at least have been for the last 4 years or so (before that, one other player occasionaly DMed). I joined a few other groups fro a few sessions and found out the following. I can really enjoy playing under DMs that seem to know what they are doing, as well as being...

    Whats the best you've ever rolled

    One of my players was an archer. After a very easy encounter, one of the enemy hobgoblins ran away over a hilltop, out of sight. "I want to shoot that hobgoblin." "He's out of sight" "I don't care. What do I need to roll?" "Well, start with a 10% chance that you target the right square" *Rolls...

    What is your favorite D&D monster?

    Advanced wraiths. With flyby attack. Or use the wraith template from dragon magazine on a high level cleric :] . Wraiths have definitely been some of my best encounters. My best and most exciting encounter ever was probably a vampire cleric of Erythnul. Funny things is though, I don't use...

    Go to Hell. Go Directly to Hell. Do Not Pass Go. Do Not Collect 200 Larvae.

    Something that might be interesting that I just came up with. People go to hell because there is no other place. There simply is no heaven. I think what would fit nicley with this idea is a place where you are still cognitive, but all your senses are taken away. No touch. No sight. No hearing...

    Settings you want to like

    Kalamar didn't hook me because of the deities. Because of the six languages, the main heading for the deities is a title, not a name. The group I played in coulnd't find anything interesting about any of the deities. I liked everything else about the setting, but deities are really important to...
