I really demand at least "basic powergaming" from my adventuring comrades. Such as having a positive charisma modifier as a paladin - but I might be able to forgive not having one - but that would really make me cringe when you start multiclassing into Monk at level 7 because your character is...

About 5 different alt.rangers, because neither me nor my players like either the 3.0 or 3.5 versions. The solution? To simply only allow the PHB ranger. That means no one will play Rangers, but that at least means I don't have to allow some untested alt.ranger in either :D

Heh, it's a shame that the messageboards don't do audio :)

It's just that when using loan words from another language, using the language's own pronunciation is rather strange, as about 40% of the English language comes from French, and I don't hear people switching accents and pronunciation rules for those. What I would like is for all you English...

Your group seems like a barrel of laughs!

Adventure paths are written with the standard by the book assumptions in mind. If you are going to adapt them to lower treasure, lower XP and lower magic adventures, I'd suggest you just take the storyline, and write all your own encounters, otherwise your PCs will get slaughtered. It would...

The most prominnet RP game in the Netherlands is definitely D&D. I think there is even only a very small possibility of playing a non-D&D game in the Netherlands; even less likely than the US and the UK.

Which is exaclty what made the DL modules so novel. Perfect execution? No. Good idea? Hell yes.

Well, the novels were joined together with the game line. I suppose it is the game line, and not the novels, that really influenced the game. It was the first setting which departed a lot from certain D&Disms (as an example: no orcs, but Draconians!), laying down the foundations for far more...

DL's influence was HUGE - almost all off its influence went to adventure, campaign and setting design for later D&D products though, so it might be easy to miss. But the D&D game, product wise, can nearly be divided into a pre and post DL phase.

I read DL right after the LotR. I was *so* relieved that DL actually had some pacing. I must confess though that I later became a literature student, but I still find any novel longer than 300 pages cannot impress me. Especially all that 19th century crap! Yeck! So I specialized in drama ;) (but...

"Holy thread necromancy, Batman!" /Robin

What about reverse spell points? Instead of depleting spell points, with the caster no longer being able to cast when they've all been used up, add up "spell fatigue points". Some spells could add more points, and you could install penalties for having high "spell fatigue points", like a spell...

heh. For a moment there, I read the announcement as "let's behave like children". Seemed a bit silly. *edit* I now see Gribble shares the sentiment.

I find this unlikely, for if they had simply allowed the magazines to remain for one year, all subscriptions would have been gone "naturally". No headaches.

WotC is sure to like your thinking? Would you like to work as the Assistant Brand Manageer? :)

Interactive adventures, based on a floorplan of a dungeon or city. Hover your mouse over a door or chest or monster icon, and a tooltip will say what and how it can be interacted with. Ie. hover over the chest and it will say: wood and steel chest (break DC 22), locked (open lock DC 25). No...

There's about 3 million D&D players in the US. Overseas numbers are negligible in comparison. roughly 100,000 copies of Dungeon get sold each month. The average group consists of 1 DM and 4 players. That means about 1 in 6 D&D players is affected by the axing of the mags (perhaps 1 in 7, to...

Showing off... A new PC had just joined the group, and they were all sailing north on a river through hobgoblin territory. The old PCs had made a deal: since they were 11th level, they wanted to make sure that the new PC could hold his own (in character they were all sadists if you ask me). So...

And look who said it! We all know Richard to be a reliable guy... This is just too bad.
