I noticed that Dragon has started a new feature called house rules. First I want your thoughts on if the effect of this new feature. I know that for most of us old timers it will be just another source of ideals for our games, but will it help counter the trend of "Only the Core Books in MY...

My group uses a different approach then the ones mention. The players tell the DM which PC they want before the campaign starts. Then everything is worked into the campaign. It give the player plenty of freedom and the knowledge that all of their work for the PC is not going to be wasted when...

Point Blank is also a good feat for a 1st level Wizard. +1 to hit with crossbow put you on par with most other for missle combat and it helps with range touch attack spells like rays. Usefull for both classes if you go Babarian/Wizard or just striaght Wizard.

Actualy at that level no fighter should be specialized to that degree. Every fighter has enough feats to cover two if not three feat chains. Better balance stats gives more versitlity and cost less. The only time a fighter need to specialized is at the lowest levels and even then it has its...

I am currently running a conurer and am the power house of the party. Frist some back ground. The DM likes to 3 or 4 monsters who CR is equal to or higher then our level he has so far keep the wealth equal to the default level. He is also what lots would call a Roll-player style DM, but is fun...

I would like for the more difficult monsters. It would help DMs who run a lower level magic the standard by giving them a lover Cr level version of lots of the more popular monsters for comparison and when need on the fly.

Yes but only for five more months. Then we lose her to a collage in another state. Going to be hard to adjust. She has been gaming with us for over 6 years. The family is just not going to be the same.

One other reason for a decline in the number sold is that when a edition first comes out lots of DMs use modules to help teach them and the players the new edition. This effect was greater for D&D 3d then for previous editions. It takes time to learn how the changes effect the blance and feel...

My group is working on that. Just finished such a listing for spells. I also plan to buy Mongoose's Ultimate Book of Feats. I have the Ultimate Book of PC and it is a time saver. It also has sveral good classes I would not other own.

Your poll does not cover my option. I write up lots of cultures trying to add something unique to each one. With your poll that would also imply that I do lot of changes to the basic D&D rules with I don't. For rules I will use a few 3rd party rules if I think they fit, but I don't make up...

I'm doing well. Having touble trying to figure out how to pay for my daughter's collage starting next year. It is going to cost over half of my wife's and mine income after the 8K schollarship she got. My wife on the other hand is being stressed out by work. She is responsible for the Texas...

Mine does not know yet but I am working on a special v-day gaming session. Not quite sure how to pull it off but after 20 years it's time to get orginal.

Yep, needs to be redone. I buy from more the one catagory me self. :=)

I disagree with this. By my reading of the rules most people would not show up as any alignment. An evil creature has to have at least 5hd just to show up as faint. On top of that you must concentrate for at least 3 rounds (18 second on each arc)just to identify those that do show up. Not all...

I Don't agree that the mythos is common to all campain wolrds. Every one has their own set. To do what you are asking is paramont to making one required for all campain worlds. I doudt very much that elves in The Wheel of Time or Kalamar uses the those deities. I know that I don't use them...

For a long term campaign that is starting at 1st or 2nd level, use an adventure or two that is designed to give the players a feel of the local area. Stress things like the lack of water, et. Introduce the major friendly NPC's. Don't make to hard very difficult if you have a new group and/or...

Yes, my wife games. I was going to quite at one point. She is far more hooked on it then I am. I have to be carefull when I DM or she would have me answering background questions 24/7. :-)

Started in 80 with Fantacy Trip. Did not find D&D unitil 82.

My wife reminded me, in twenty years we will be retired (her for the second time) and almost in our seventies. So if any one finds, starts a nice nursing home for gamers lets us know. Being able to game more the twice a week would be great. :-)

Some other considerations. Does the church/temple have a legal monopoly on prostitution? Do they use spells such as remove disease on the temple staff? How about on their customers? Some churches the prostitutes where not actually part of the church priesthood but a separate and some times...
