Ancestral Guardian (B) 24 Assassin (R) 17 - too dark and mature for impressionable gamers! However, Fighter/Thieves who accept contracts to murder others for money are totally acceptable. Battle Master (F) 26 Berserker (B) 16 Cavalier (F) 21 Champion (F) 19 Inquisitive (R) 21 Kensei (M) 21 -...

Forge Domain 7 Knowledge Domain 1 - ignorance is bliss Life Domain 9 - life, uh finds a way Light Domain 6 Tempest Domain 7

I think only Greyhawk and Forgotten Realms meet that criteria. Dragonlance was conceived in a car (I'm sure there's a joke there) while the Hickmans drove to their new job. Ravenloft was a decision by TSR to enlarge a very successful module into a larger entity. Darksun was a collaborative...

1. 2nd edition - I DM'd two campaigns, one that fell apart in about a year, another that went 6 years. I also played in a boatload of campaigns that ran the spectrum from 1 session to several years. 2. 3rd edition - I DM'd a campaign for this edition, oddly enough this one also ran 6 years...

I can buy all the other reasons in this thread for going with Homebrew over Published setting, and there have been many. But this one irks me a bit. I guess I happen to think the following designers/artists had quite a bit of imagination: Gary Gygax Robert J. Kuntz Carl Sargent Laura and...

On the flip side of the same coin, even though many of these worlds are medieval-style, they are not medieval. I can't seem to find the excerpt, but somewhere on record there is a snippet where Ed Greenwood explains the uncannily high literacy rate in the Forgotten Realms. Maybe it's due to...

Just to play Devil's Advocate: As human adults that have lived their entire lives on the planet Earth (some assumptions there, but I don't think they are unreasonable!) don't we all have an enormous store of knowledge before we go "adventuring"? If I take a map and point to Australia, I would...

I'm not trying to start any trouble here, but isn't that a bit selfish? You like to homebrew when you're DMing because you control all the lore, but when you play, you want an FR or GH type world for sake of familiarity. What about what your players want? Do they want to learn your entire...

Mounts, Bags of Holding, Tenser discs, etc. - so many ways for creative players to circumvent encumbrance rules. A magical ring will shrink/expand to fit the wearer, I always assumed armor would as well. As long as it's not a ridiculous mismatch, like the party slays an iron-clad ogre and then...

The problem with loading down your NPC with a fabulous set of magical armor - +1 full plate, ring(s) of protection, maybe even a magical tower shield with some kind of elemental resistance - is that, yes, you made a foe with impressive AC. But what happens when he's defeated? Now the PC...

Wow, this got feisty. Some good points by both sides, but in an effort to bring this back to the OP's point: All I know is if I play it straight up in NPC design, my players - good strategists all - will utterly melt the big boss in 1 round and make for a terribly disappointing session. One...

I was mildly surprised nobody caught or made comment on that reference :) 1xp for the first poster to say what it's from!
