Every other Saturday: 7 players (including me)/1 DM, ranging in age from about 25 to low 40s We start around 7pm and play till 1am Playing through a 3.5 adaptation of Lost Caverns of Tsojcanth (sp?) at about 10th-11th party level. There are a reasonable number of House/variant rules and...

I have noticed a propensity in the players that I DM and play with that bothers me somewhat. All of these players are excellent, dedicated role-players, generating great character-concepts, spending large portions of the game in-character and e-mailing long in-character, RP-only discussions...

Well, except that that is why I wanted it when I heard there was going to be a D&D 'coffee-table book'. After perusing it at my FLGS, I found that the art is cut to pieces, laid out in bizarre, non-attractive ways, and does not include some of the more notable pieces of art from D&D history...

I toyed with the idea of making the current villain IMC a unique dragon, but decided to template up a chromatic; with all the templates out there, creating something new from the ground up isn’t really necessary unless you’re going for something truly bizarre. Greyhawk also has the Earth Dragon...

I like throwing in little cameos, but I usually make them very subtle; use a little-known name for the charecter, for instance (Tolkien's great for those). You run the risk of the PC's taking advantage, being pulled out of the game, or trying to kill the charecter for bragging rights "I cast...

My first session was played at a cousins house (he was the DM as well) close to 20 years ago...naturally I wasn't supposed to be playing, my mother belived it would lead me straight to hell. Fortunately my DM taught me a spell that charmed her into buying me $200 worth of TSR stuff, and we had...

I wouldn't swear to it, but I think it's from Urban Arcana Very cool pic, too Edit: Here you go... http://www.wizards.com/d20modern/images/ua_gallery/50022.jpg

I've been playing for about 16 years, and own almost everything WotC has put out for 3.0/3.5 excepting the FR/Eberron stuff, and they asked me to join...I wonder what eliminated you...

Forgotten Temple of Tharizdun (I've always been a sucker for D&D's version of an Elder God...)

I had a moment like that recently... The new villain in the game I'm running is a white dragon dracolich with the swarm-shifter template (Blizzard of undead snow); when the PC's first met her she appeared as beautiful pale-skinned white-haired women by virtue of a magic item she has that allows...

While I certainly see your point (as I mentioned somewhere upthread), it's not something that bothers me to any great extent, and I can see why WoTC might want to keep those spells unique and special to one class. In other words, IMHO, it's a minor quibble that hardly ruins the book. As to the...

I think that more likely that it represents the people who put the thing together not thinking the question out... In other words, incompetence rather than malevolence. (At least I hope so...I filled out the survey :\ )

Absolutely right, thanks for the correction.

Not sure that is an apt analogy...feats, by their nature, are open to a much wider array of classes, while spells are generally restricted to one or two spell lists. Additionally, adding a new casting class is inherently more complex than adding a melee one, particularly if the class has it's...

It's only too much focus if you don't want to play and/or don't like the Wu-Jen; if you do, then you're probably thankful that you have a fully fleshed-out spell list that has it's own flavor and doesn't require you to buy OA or d20 Rokugon.

I'd imagine that if the Warlock's incantations were included in the spells section as spells, people would be upset because there seemed to be too many of them as well... The Wu-Jen is different enough that it needs its own spell list with its own spells. I'm actually pleased that they devoted...

As good as the Gazetteer is, there are huge portions of Oreth, both historically and geographically, that it didn't cover. And to keep this post on topic: I'd love to see an Elements book, a sourcebook for elemental spells, creatures, classes, creatures and planes...I suspect that it would...

I asked the WotC reps at the Q&A session last GenCon about a Greyhawk setting book. The official answer is "We don't want to step on the toes of Living Greyhawk, so not in the foreseeable future"... meaning that if you don't play LG, you're SOL. I realize they want the people who write and...

Check out the hazards in the DMG Also Forstburn is accomplishing what you're looking for in my group as we speak, (as an unintended side-effect); extremely cold weather has the effect of chill metal on armor, for instance...

Useless is a very strong word. It implies that there is no possible situation where god-stats will ever be used, and with the Epic rules that's simply not true. Fighting an evil god or dealing in some other way with a non-evil one is a great way to continue (perhaps cap off) the career of an...
