I'm late to the thread but I just started watching Beowulf and I am enjoying it quite a bit. It's no Game of Thrones, but that isn't necessarily a bad thing. It lacks the ginormous HBO budget but it also lacks the dark, nihilistic tone too. And I find that I can enjoy it on its own merits. The...

Dude. I loved that book! Thanks for making it happen.

Mouseferatu, Man, I envy your experiences. Mine, sadly were not like that, even with people who were otherwise mature. Avoiding groups like I mentioned has saved no small amount of frustration. By the way, are you the same Ari Marmell who wrote the Fall of Lhael book?!

Azurewraith, I love my wife dearly. No, really, I do. And part of me would love to game with her, if only to have an activity we both enjoy. But playing at tables with SOPCs (my new term: Significant Othe Player Character) has left such a bad taste in my mouth that I don't want to subject my...

I have few, if any, deal breakers and fall in with the "if the people I am playing with are fun,cool!" group. That being said, I will most likely avoid even sitting at a table where the DM's boyfriend/girlfriend/wife/husband/whatever play as well. Last group I played in, the DM's girlfriend...

Lol. Some of these are awesome! Besides kalil's obvious level 7 Hunter ranger (that's hilarious), I love the giant bunny idea.

I considered that. But I want something out of left field

After losing my Level 7 Hunter Ranger last night, I'm making my new PC: The group gained a level after he died, so I'm making Level 8 Wizard (Transmuter Tradition). He's human and I took the Entertainer Background and purchased an Entertainer Pack. It comes with (2) costumes. I'm looking for...

Kobolds. 'Effin kobolds.

I've been interested in Midgard for a while. Are there plans to publish Midgard in 5E? I always liked the concept of Ravenloft until I read about the domains. I never liked that aspect. Ustalov would be a great fit, though it's Pathfinder. Try the Pathfinder novel Prince of Wolves by Dave...

I can hear the DM's cackle of glee from here... Regarding kobolds, I was once in a group whose DM played kobolds as if they were the Viet Cong. I remember a 5th level Paladin (2E, wearing full plate) failing a save and being held (but not crushed) under an enormous piece of tree that swung down...

Treantmonk, I used to read your guides back in "that other system", as you call it. Always enlightening and entertaining. You have a very clear, funny style. Even when I disagree, I am enjoying myself.

I always loved Elaine Cunningham's work. I even liked her trilogy set in Halrua (sp?)(I can't remember the name right now...). I also liked her novel in the Pathfinder/Golarion universe, The Winter Witch. I think Cunningham is one of the masters of Tie-in/Shared Universe fiction. (Along with...

This is probably my favorite aspect of the system! I have a had a great time with it. I have made a High Elf Illusionist Wizard with the Entertainer Background which was a lot of fun. He yelled magic words, some taken from Harry Potter books and Latin class, whenever he casts any spell (I made...
