Yep. So a Neutral cleric could have both Good and Evil as her domains, or neither, but not just one or the other. Since all the Risen Gods have Good and Evil (and War) as domain options, their choice of deity doesn't unduly restrict them. Note that a Neutral cleric still needs to pick whether...

There's no place I'd rather live. And I mean that. I'm in Northern Virginia right now. It's pretty, but it's also chockfull of people. Lots and lots and lots of people. Cars, suburbia, congestion, oh my. Pittsburgh is the most beautiful city of its size I've visited. Hilly, green...

TS - I remain blissfully ignorant of the 'Babe' poll in question (and many, many other things), but I think people would be hard-pressed not to recognize the sincerity inherent within your apology. We're a pretty diverse group on EN World, and it's a safe bet you'll tick off someone every once...

Hello again, folks. I started this thread to talk a little bit about the publishing process from a newbie's perspective. I touched on some things that fwere confusing to me - contracts, royalties, marketing, distribution, yada yada yada. Some of those things are, still, confusing to me. :) But...

Inspired by the numerous GenCon threads, I decided to throw my own hat in the ring. One of the neatest aspects of the convention, for me, was meeting some of the people that have made this industry what it is today. I also enjoyed meeting people that have helped mold this website into the online...

I spent the majority of GenCon sitting next to Rob Kuntz. He was a member of Gary Gygax's and Dave Arneson's original D&D group. I’ve never been known as a “quiet” person, so I took the opportunity to ask him 542 questions about the origins of D&D. What follows is just one little vignette that I...

Hiya from GenCon, folks! Just a quick note: While Valus does contain a pretty extensive chart of racial epithets, it also contains a little, ah, "disclaimer" saying they should only be used after careful consideration - by the DM and by his/her players. 1. I didn't realize "digger" was a slur...

The truth may be a bit stranger than fiction in this case. In this particular adventure, I made what experienced DMs refer to as a "boo boo." I put one of my players in a helpless position. Let's rewind. Baden departed the abandoned Halls of Axemarch after killing Buk'lokik the cave troll. He...

My mom owns the other 9. :) Hell, I'd like to answer this, as I've never been a player in the Valus - always been on the "evil side" of the DM screen. I'm assuming, based on your question, that you would not want to be a player in the Valus. You may or may not be surprised to know that this...

Valus Q&A Valus Q&A (August 2004) What is Valus? Valus is a regional campaign sourcebook that provides players and DMs with the information required to run adventures upon the Valusian Isle, the primary setting for my “Sins of Our Fathers” story hour here on ENWorld. Valus is the first d20...

Chapter Eight Baden sat within Selûne’s shrine and thought of where he had been, what he had done. He thought of his father and mother, Banidon and Runwan, both dead now. He thought of Axemarch, his clan no longer. He remembered the young dwarf Bardo, Tamil’s brother, who had been killed within...

Hi all, Lord knows this thread has been quiet of late, but I'd prefer to not discuss the books here. I could maybe collect questions I've received via email into a FAQ and post it elsewhere. Got too many pokers in the fire right now, and trying to get things back into some semblance of...

There's some great ideas littered throughout this thread. You fellas have my thanks. Some of them - such as sitting in the middle of the table instead of the end - are so simple they're brilliant. Heck, I've been DMing 6 guys for years, and that one never really occurred to me. Color me stupid...

Hi all. I recently moved to the Leesburg, VA, area. After settling in, I decided to try my hand at recruiting a local D&D group for a new campaign entirely through the 'net. This was my first time at this, and I wasn't sure how it'd turn out. Well, it turned out pretty ding dang dong well. I...

EN World: Destan Name: Ryan

Hi fellas, Lest session a mean old druid cast earthquake at our heroes. One of the PCs promptly failed his save and tumbled into a fissure. Which leads me to my question: How deep is the fissure created from an earthquake spell? The PC has a round to get out of there; that much is clear. Can...

Thanks, Keith. I've got plenty of stories, should you need a smile in the future. Not all of them may be true, but that's never stopped me in the past. Until GenCon, Ryan

I’ve got a story to tell. The UPS guy arrived a couple days ago, and changed my gaming life forever. He was delivering four, fairly large boxes. I knew their contents without looking – my books. Ever see the movie The Jerk? In it, Steve Martin runs around joyfully shouting “The new phonebook’s...

I believe they begin shipping on 26 July. Not sure how it'll work with international orders (looking into Australia stuff now, too). Anyway, please shoot me an email (rjsmalls@yahoo.com) to discuss. Working on answering as many questions/concerns as I can via email rather than clobbering this...
