Good thread! I like to place activities in the campaign that will have the players wonder whether they are plot connected. If they pursue it, they will uncover things. Example: The party encounters a hobgoblin supply caravan on the road, with loads of weapons. In a few days or so, they...

The funny thing is that I am an unbudging atheist, and I love playing clerics, and usually make them really devout. Just swap one philosophy for the other :) Rav

My thougths exaclty. I always use modules as "springboards" for the camapign. Thankfully my players really don't seem to mind being on the railroad. Everytime I leave them to their own motivations, they wait for me to give them an adventure hook. :\ Rav

Yes, but intended for a male audience. Also it is a near-Playboy you can keep on the coffeetable. Rav

My LGS wants to get to the point where they sell nothing but the PHB and dice. Everything else: Order it, full price, pay in advance. Rav

I'd be okay with it really. Although none of my players are comfortable with it, funnily enough (apart from one person who occasionaly games with us). When someone else DMed and I wanted to play a female character (moslty becasue I found a cool picture), everyone thought it weird. Rav

Y35! F34r D4RKN355 4ND H15 1337 M0DD1N6 5k1||5! H3 R0xx0R5! I actually changed my name here once, a long time ago. Might have changed it at NKL too, but I was too afraid to ask :) Rav

I started doing that too (well standard array, but that is effectively 25 points)! The players really like it, because even "boring" levels (like fighter level 5...ouch!), there's a choice to be made on how to advance your character. I think it also makes the MAD (Multiple Ability Dependancy)...

I think you are doing yourself an injustice if such mistakes ruin novels for you. Even Scott Fitzgerald's "The Great Gatsby", one of the most canonical works of American literature, has several errors in the first chapter alone. I am an English lit student, and the original Weis and Hickman...

I thought you said wotc d20, instead of wotc/d20. I should have voted 21-30. (30+ counting print adventures) Rav

Well Cergorach, our country's capital is not very representative of the world in general. The people I've met involved in gaming in the US would probably find it a bit odd that I had about a one year campaign with a Frenchman, a black (Caribbean) British guy and a Californian gay guy. Actually...

All right, we will then all have to accept that you're the exception who can't accept exceptions. Rav

No slot for a USB drive? Rav

I've paid for 5, own about two dozen. Most of them are adventures. Rav

Dragonlance. The campaign setting with both the best mage guild and the best organizaton of knights, from a description and internal logic view. Rav

That guy is clearly incorrect. It sounds like he is just being argumentative. Rav

The consensus was that it allowed for better wielding of weapons, whch in D&D is still the norm of all attacks. Unarmed? Sure: here you go: Weapon Finesse: Unarmed attack (3.0) or Weapon Finesse (3.5). Weighted bats were mentioned in the thread earlier. However, i'd say it is actually...

I will find the money for the shackled city book. Rav

Yeah, many a row has been started in gaming groups over pronunciation of that word :) Flyspeck: Gedankenschinder and Hexenmeister sound way cool! I know just enough German to understand simple conversation and read the Wirtschafts Woche and Frankfurter Allgemeine (ie. my reading is a lot better...

Fluff just requires imagination, true. However, crunch doesn't even require that. Hence, I generally find crunch to be useless, unless it is in the very wide "Campaign toolkit" variety like Grim Tales and Unearthed Arcana. Coming up with a Prestige Class once an organization or archetype is...
