Here, RPGNET, Kenzer and Company, Dragonsfoot. I lurk at Pen and Paper and ICE forums, but haven't posted much. I am registered at Troll Lords, but they need a new provider before I'll spend any time there.

I'm not a fan of the mechanic because it assumes too much. Just because a person is leaving or drinking a potion doesn't mean they're wide open to you and ignoring your sword. So we don't push it too hard. If you turn to run from a fight, yeah they get an AoO. If you cast right next to them...

They're worth it. I don't like a lot of the stuff in them, but that's personal taste - like the Warlock, I think it's a dumb idea, but I know plenty of people who love it...

Doesn't matter, I can adapt to any system if the flavor is good. I am actually running one in my primary game world right now... It is strongly persian, but with the unique flavor the history of a different, magical world brings. Content is important, the mythos, the society, the special...

I'll buy it. Like so many have said, I will go through the core, decide if I like it, and go from there. I played 3.0 like five times, all my other games going to other systems. 3.5 I've played a lot more. The quality of the game will determine my level of commitment to it. But my view of...

You. Rock. The parents should be beaten with a flail. Good show, jolly good show. Sorry it kept you up, but glad you cared.

Yeah, KM32 came to my mind too.:D Original poster: I think that the question is baiting. I play all versions of the game and many other FRPGs. Simply put, none of them is perfect. If my pointing out the weaknesses in the version you like offends you, then you're a fanatic, and the problem is...

I don't see this as that big a hurdle... I simply removed the concentration check for most situations (ie: auto-loss), and balance returns nicely. Even without that step it wasn't so horrendous that the Fighters sat around bored or anything.

I try hard to mix it up - CNs who are out for their own gratification and the PCs get in the way, LNs who run their city/county/duchy/barony/kingdom with an iron fist, TN's who want to eliminate the party for upsetting the balance with all those good deeds, and all the evil types for their...

I haven't for D20, but Paladin in Hell was like that. And I've written a couple for 2E and HM... If you have the time, it's not much work to write this one yourself, pick a plane, define a bit of it, invent the (convoluted) way they can get back, and throw a few creatures in for fun :D

Well said! I do not ban it outright - there are some valid character concepts that can use it - but I do make it "GM approval only". I ban all evil alignments outright. My overall attitude on alignment and character heroism: I don't care what your playing style is, don't be offended by mine...

IMO, it is worth the GM's time to hunt out like-minded individuals and then the burden rests upon him. With that said, a good player can seriously disrupt a game, and then it's up to the GM to call them on it and the player to respond positively. Failure of the GM to call people interrupting...

But wait! How did the Monk survive! He was so weak without magic! That's one of the problems that I think CR created. I think it was well-intentioned, but it boxed people into believing you can't play the game "fairly" (whatever that is) without following it, which implies following wealth...

Demiurge is right. In the age of classed kobolds and minotaurs, what chance of having a human bandit with Xd8 hit dice?

My perfect gamer wife and I decided not to go because we already own so much we haven't had time to play that we're going to stay home, invite some friends over, and get some new game systems played. She keeps the web sites for all my oddball worlds up and running, generates hardback Player's...

Honestly Frukathka, you're asking that question on the wrong boards. Head over to dragonsfoot (www.dragonsfoot.org) and ask there. EGG has forums hosted there covering Lejendary Adventures. I didn't like it much, but it really depends upon your tastes. Some people love it.

No, the players I play with are generally pretty good about this - they know that without motivation to adventure they don't have a party, so they come prepared. And playing High Fantasy means they'll have a reason - the bad guys - soon enough after the characters first get together. Once in a...

A lot of people here are gut-reacting, and a few have definitely consumed the Kool-Aid. Rasyr is not far off, and he's right, his last point will be the nail in the coffin. If 4.0 is not OGC, OGC will die. There will be "grognards" who play it until they die, but the profitability factor will...

Yeah, okay. I meant D20, typed 3.5. I don't think it's necessary to have a second mechanic. And DR requires ever-increasing damage-dealing.

In HackMaster there's the Luck Eater. A cute kitty cat that subtracts 10% from everything the party does while it's with them. So a cuddly that provides party-wide negatives is cool. Last night it nearly killed a party that was facing a Dragon... :D
