    How E. Gary Gygax changed my life.

    Gary is the one that made it alright to want to be a hero. Good to want to take the sword to bad guys. I salute the man that made it all possible...

    Questions for Scott Rouse & Andy Collins!

    I second multiclassing. How long does character creation take for, say, a Paragon tier character?

    D&DExp Character Sheets!

    I like it. One of my big concerns was that I was going to plunk down all of the money for the new rule books and not be able to use them for weeks, while I studied the system. This doesn't seem to be the case: it is simple and intuitive, as well as being simialar enough to 3e that pick up should...

    How do you do NPCs?

    I run a Conan game, and give the NPCs accent appropriate to the analougous real world culture. The player's favorite (well, they hate his guts, but in a evil pro wrestler kind of way), is a noble from Poitan (in Aquilonia). His name is Guy de Manson, and his voice is close the the Frenchman from...

    Fear of the Mind Flayer

    I second all of this. I think taking them captive would be the most fun myself, and would probably use a couple. A dominated slave could run of with anyone unlucky enough to fail their save. If you found a loaf of bread, would you eat it there or go home and make sandwiches? What if that loaf...

    Knoxville Area game

    I'm looking for a group to game with in K-town, since my last band of merry fools has disbanded. I've DMed pretty much exclusively for the last couple years, and would like a change of place. That said, if I had player interest I would gladly run a game. I really don't care which system, genre...

    Seed Bank

    http://news.yahoo.com/s/livescience/noahsarcticarkforseedssettoopen How big of a target would this place be in post apocalyptic world? I was brought to dizziness with adventure ideas... Note that it is on a frozen mountain/island!!!

    De-magicking D&D Adventures

    Not to derail the thread, but I do the same thing. I'm not sure why EGG had to make a whole new humanoid race for every possible HD. I find that players tend to react more realistically to another single functioning race (ie not xp bags) if they are a cohrent part of the setting. To me, tighter...

    Non-gamer's reaction to D&D

    He knew about as much about D&D as most people do curling. And yes, he is now going to play. I'm going to do a character creation/short starter adventure crash course, and then he's coming to the next game. He already has the concept down :D

    Non-gamer's reaction to D&D

    ??? I was shocked to find out he couldn't read our minds...he summed it up perfectly, from conversation heard from 15' away, in a loud room, while drunk. The bathroom was hot property right after.

    Non-gamer's reaction to D&D

    At a party, my regular group was discussing random campaign stuff. A guy sitting nearby had been listening, and pipes up "So you're, like badass homeless guys with swords and sacks of gold? F*** Yeah! I'm in..."

    Fantasy Sports and gambling games

    I ran a (sort of-)rugby game one time, close to the early roots of soccer http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mob_football It was great fun. The PCs were back visting the village in the summer... Any way, I just used normal combat rules, as someone suggested earlier.

    Picking Up Dark Sun, what do I need?

    I'm going to get the psionics handbook to un the psionics system: I could tell just by looking that the PO psionic system sucks hard. Now I have to pick up that dragon issue... Thanks the general community fo the outpouring of geek lore on Athas. The only thing now it to find 1 or 2 more...

    Picking Up Dark Sun, what do I need?

    I have the core books, but like players option better. I sort of knew psionics was centrl to Dark Sun, and it one of the reasons I want to do it. Me (and the players) need a break from my homebrew 3.5. I'm definately going for the original boxed set, its just much more evocative.

    Picking Up Dark Sun, what do I need?

    Thanks for the link: my geek fix has been satiated for today! I would have my imaginary character buy your imaginary character a imaginary beer, but then we'd have to kill stuff and take its stuff and my health insurance just expired...
