    Respecting other gamers' playing style [rant]

    I have only one thing to say about what you've written: I wish I'd said it first. Reasoned, honest, respectful - well written, well written indeed.

    Module Idea-Your opinions

    If your players are flexible, then this kind of thing can be very cool. I've just started a new campaign using the "Nameless Legion" concept from a recent Dragon Magazine. The players are all recruits in an interdimensional mercenary company that erases the memories of its soldiers. To start out...

    What weaponry are your villains using now?

    In my campaign I've got a gnoll bounty hunter with a whip that casts Random Action with a successful hit - it's called the Lash of Uncertainty. My wife's barbarian wields a spiked chain to great effect. A flaming, throwing and returning two-bladed sword has also been seen in one of my games -...

    [OT] Some Interesting Trivia: The Shot Glass

    This one's got more stories going around than you can "poke a stick at" (tangent: where's that one come from?) Among the favourites is that it derives from the English legal system and is an acronym of For Unlawful Carnal Knowledge. The best etymology (sp?) that I know says that the word is...

    Swashbuckling Movie Suggestions?

    The recent Count of Monte Cristo starring Guy Pearce is excellent (a bit late in the period though). Also, there are numerous French period films that are first rate (if you don't mind subtitles). My suggestions are: Ridicule D'Artangan's Daughter Cyrano De Bergerac (the Gerard Depardieu...

    (humor) The REAL reason humans hate elves

    My sutra is bigger? But seriously folks - humans hate elves not just because of their teenagers, but because their teenagers are that classic rich brat kind of teenager. They ponce about in clothes that cost more than most people's houses, whining about how the rest of us are killing the...

    Consequences of Magic

    I've always wondered about summoned monsters - is it moral to summon creatures just to die on your behalf? Do the monsters exist before the spell or are they brought into existence by the magic? I've often toyed with the idea of a group of zealots who believe that summon spells are immoral...

    Shipwrecked Adventurers?

    I ran a homebrew shipwrecked scenario which stands out as the best of our current campaign. The overview runs like this. Wizard owns island and uses it for his experiments. Only other humanoids on the island are the wizard's apprentice and a wild tribe of kobolds. The wizard treats the kobolds...

    WotC Responds!!!

    The initial press release somewhat implied that many of the images in this book will be very much of the soft-porn variety. Given this and the fact that WotC has almost certainly not seen an advance copy yet, then their pre-emptive repudiation is just good business sense. It's easier to...
