hmmm. a couple of interesting comments nipped off the Wizard's boards that a friend sent me... "Here's a highly probable conversation lifted from the future, one year from today, as two players who've just met at a convention discuss their PC choices for their upcoming D&D game. "I'm playing...

see? my experience with 9 Swords was just the opposite. the Friday night game I'm playing in the DM let people use Bo9S to build charaters with / cross class into and some did, some didn't. after about 5 play sessions, the Bo9S were turning into some of the worst munchkin twinks anyone had...

just the opposite I fear. working in IT/Tech Support, for years I've had to go in and fix things after the engineers went and fixed stuff that wasn't broken in the first place. that's mostly what I see here and I am unenthusiastic about supporting it. I see Hasbro chasing the $$$ signs for...

:cool: judging entries based on rat bastardry? what a delightful idea! http://pub109.ezboard.com/faquerrafrm29.showMessage?topicID=29.topic hi Rune! good job so far. -phoamy

one of my best went something like this, the party arrived in a new town (in Ravenloft), strangers but their money bought them some respect. shortly thereafter, a series of grisly murders began taking place. the party was questioned, but cleared of charges. one of the players began...

as I recall, I was reading my subscription to GAMES magazine (that my mom had gotten for me). I had just read an Andre Norton novel that was very D&D in flavor (can't remember the title) and here was a game where you got to be a fighter walking down a hallway and fighting orcs out of Tolkein to...

and I'm still looking to fill FOUR more openings. anybody else want to try an extended IRON DM tourney???

why do I have this image of standing in front of a herd of bulls, waving a red flag? oh well. http://pub56.ezboard.com/faquerrafrm29.showMessage?topicID=27.topic

then here's an easy solution to your campaign storyline. swap mountain giants out with titans. thus, in your campaign, mountain giants can still be really big, while titans now become truly immense god like creatures of legend. does that work for you?

I've used my own version of Magic Missile II and III for years, and they've worked out ok. Magic Missile II 2nd level same as MM, except does 1d6+1 per 3 levels, max 5d6+5 at 15th. Magic Missile III 3rd level same as MM, except does 1d8+1 per 4 levels, max 5d8+5 at 20th. the auto hit nature...

explaining D&D is very simple. I just tell them that it's a game of "Pretend", just like you used to play when you were little, only with more rules so it's a little more organized. "did you really shoot people when you played 'cowboys and indians'? or go shopping when you played with your...

it's not impossible, or even difficult. you just have to make each one an individual. just look at the DM's with their casts of thousands . . .

Good Evening. My name is Ginxrumphel. And I'm pleased to announce, tonight the lizard gets to be on top! (insert evil female laughter) well, you asked.

I wouldn't give them anything. But I would write up a legend of their legendary ancestors with perhaps a not too difficult quest to put some of their old characters choice possesions (destined to fall ) into their hands.

Expert, Knowledge Skill: Dowser - 4 levels (Wis based). Talk about being in high demand. Main Entry: dows·er Pronunciation: 'dau-z&r Function: noun Date: 1838 : DIVINING ROD; also : a person who uses it Main Entry: divining rod Function: noun Date: 1751 : a forked rod believed to indicate...

I skimmed the thread and didn't see it. my take on a 15th level commoner would be the senechal or appointment setter for the king. figure Diplomacy 10 and Knowledge Skill - Bureacracy 18 . . . "so you want an appointment to see the king . . . you realize his Majesty is a very busy man . . ...

so if you're really afraid WotC is going to rip you off 10 years from now, here's what you do. make another copy of your work and send it to yourself registered mail. when you get it back, file it away for the eventual court battle. the postmark is an effective copyright for your original...

IIRC, the original proposition left open the possibility of more than 10 people going to round 2. (and more than 3 going to round 3.) if I were judging and received 6000+ entries, I'd seriously consider opening it up to advancing the best 50 or even 100. you know the hopeful authors...

actually RW, my thought on this was that if my world idea doesn't win, that's ok. if you think about it, FR, DL, and WoT all started as individual works of fiction which were later adapted into full blown campaign worlds. if my idea sells, that's fine. but if it doesn't, I'm going to look...

I don't really think I've confused CE with NE. CE is a passionate sort of evil, leaping into battle to bathe in the blood of those weaker than you. various humanoid types obviously spring to mind. NE is a dispassionate sort of evil. bathing in blood is ok if the bath house has it as an...
