I have now concluded that Rich Burlew is the #1 Rat Bastard DM, hands down. ;)

I've mostly seen the same weapons Nightdawn mentions. I think players typically don't want to have to take Exotic Weapon Proficiency or Martial Weapon Proficiency just to use something different. You get too few feats as it is. Now if I expand on Nightdawn's question beyond the other types of...

I think FireLance's suggestions are the best for this situation. Many of the other posters appear to be of the opinion that players who want to keep their characters alive are somehow "doing it wrong". But as FireLance points out, this is a perfectly valid play style. My only issue with his...

Letter #26 27 Reaping, Sefmir (Sunday December 19, 2004) Dearest brother; As you may recall from my last letter, we'd met with the druidess Sharareh and had aided her in destroying the horrible tree-monster she called a keening maw. She presented us with a divining rod made from the black...

Letter #25 17 - 18 Reaping Dearest brother; Erasyne and Ninad were able to dodge some of the ball of flame that erupted from the snake-creature's room, but I was not so fortunate, though I wasn't severely burned. Fortune smiled on Shishir for a change and he wasn't even within range of the...

Letter #24 15 - 16 Reaping Dearest brother; After our terrible battle with the centipede demon we were all in poor condition, especially Shishir, who has now seen the edge of the afterlife more times than I care to imagine. He was able to revive long enough to tell his brother a...

If anything I thought they overdid the exposition. They tried to explain Bob, the White Council, Harry's past, his relationship with Murphy... Too much for one episode.

Letter #23 12 Reaping (Sunday June 13, 2004) Dearest brother; It's no surprise that adventure has swiftly reentered our lives. Thor was restless, and wanted an opportunity to allow his new friend Beaker the axebeak to run free. The twins had got over their disagreement as I expected they...

Letter #22 Lopolla Dearest brother; As I told you in my last letter, we'd entered the temple of Kumari in search of the girl Ceceliah and had found it empty but for walking skeletons. Alki told us that there were two entrances to the main sanctuary. We decided to go there to see if there...

I recall reading something somewhere that indicated Morgan will show up later.

For the past 4 weeks our Greyhawk party have been battling a minotaur in a maze. The cow-related puns were flying fast and furious. "The minotaur statue is moving." "It's mooing?" "It moooooves." "Everybody moooove!" "Set flying carpet for bull rush!" We do a lot of punning during our...

I think the Ravens were just protecting him. I don't mind Bob as a man rather than a talking skull, but I felt they used him too much as a source of exposition. I suppose that's a limitation of doing the premiere as a one-hour episode rather than a two-hour movie. But I missed the sarcastic...

Letter #21 Dearest brother; To continue my story: once we had concluded our visit with the Malik, we were ushered out somewhat unceremoniously - perhaps due to Kirp's presence among our group. As soon as we had stepped beyond the gates of the Malik's palace, Ninad set the halfling on the...

Letter #20 This entry is labeled #20 because I've lost my notes for #18 and I missed session #19. I'm going to handle this one as if Lothiriel had been writing her brother all along and the letters got lost in the post. During the session I missed, the party used one of the 'spirit stones' to...

Paladin trouble usually seems to come down to conflict between the player and GM over interpretation of the paladin's code of honor. That's what this situation looks like to me. I would suggest having a serious discussion with your GM about this issue. What are his expectations for your...

Letter #17 Dearest Brother; After a few days with the druids, we set off to investigate the spirit stones once again. Zengar the ranger agreed to come along with us. It seems that trouble will always find our little party. Before we could seek out the first spirit stone we stumbled upon...

Letter #16 Dearest brother; I haven’t had time to write and there is too much to tell. We at last found a use for the confounded djinn, Pheretima, as she was able to fly us all back to the druids’ circle from the ruined fort. This saved us a great deal of time in our efforts to avert the...

Letter #15 Dearest brother; We continue our quest to fight the undead of the Bramblewood Forest. Zengar the ranger has shown us to the druids’ circle, where we met a senior druid called Aroses. He told us that the other druids have gone to the building Thor found, which is known as the...

Either Fox or UPN tried something like that a few years ago. I can't remember what the series title was. It had a regular cop being assigned to a semi-secret organization that investigated magical/paranormal events. One of the regular characters was Carl the Gnome. A real gnome, not just a small...

And aside from the excellent reasons WizarDru gives, it's simply too expensive and difficult to have the Doctor show up on Torchwood all the time. The two series are being filmed back to back. Torchwood is also intended to be for a more mature audience than Doctor Who, and the producers don't...
