I once knew a Comic Book / Game Store owner who said that this was the stereotype for CB/GS owners. Both he and five others that he knew all fit the physical description. None of them were virgins (as far as I knew) but they all certainly had something of the attitude. (Pol Rating: 1/ 10; Worst...

Run the first session without any dice rolling. Describe everything to the players and have them respond likewise. Get them to feel what they should do... thieves sneak, fighters pound and spellcasters cast. Getting players to feel what they should do, to act and react in character is more...

My first four books: PH, MM, DMG and KoTB. We played it at least half a dozen times, and I used it as the main area of my first campaign world. I think it was three years after this, I bought my next module.

MJ a Pedophile??? At least, to be determined.

While a profession check would enable them to know about the game, and the probabilities, I would not allow it to influence their chance of winning. For most games, I would have them roll for success like a game of inbetween, high/low with dice or blackjack with cards. It's much more fun that...

I keep everything on my laptop. In the last three months, everything has gone into an excel file, hyperlinked, so I can find most things within 20 sec notice. It's great!

Favoured Soul: I love it! Their reduced spell choice is very fair, but Creamsteak's comments about the Reflex save is quite accurate. Healer: Ugh, way too combat oriented for my tastes. The only way I can see this working is as a dual classed option, I think a monk/healer would be a great way...

The DM: small, bald and talked cryptically.

When the marine kisses Kevin Spacey in American Beauty. Woah...I wasn't expecting that coming.

The Dead Zone by Stephen King. What's funny, is that I haven't read anything by him in at least 15 years, except for DZ.

Here's what I do, have them pick out their own. Paladins must choose 4, and then another every 5 levels. Clerics & monks 2 vows; anyone else may pick a free feat if they choose a vow. Obedience: obey all leaders & those of higher level in their specific command Loyalty: renounce all ties to...

Nothing is set in stone. There have been times in past campaigns where we have gone 2-3 months without playing, and then were able to continue. Other times, after two sessions things have fallen apart. What I do, is ask the players via e-mail if they want to continue the same quest; if they do...

When I first heard about the war-forged, I thought they sounded cool. Then I read the preview in Dragon magazine, I was unimpressed; I liked them a lot better when I first saw them in the Fiend Folio as Maugs.

1. Do you spend more time making characters than playing them? No. 2. Do you spend more time on internet discussion groups than actually playing RPGs? Close call, I play once a week but I hang out here a lot during the week. 3. Do you play RPG's just to see your buddies and/or hit on a...

oh yeah baby!

Hi everyone, I am creating a powerful monster and I was hoping that some of posters could help me determine some of it's attributes. I am unsure of what HD, CR and type this thing should be. I pretty sure that I won't be assigning skills or feats. Everything marked with an asterisk (*) are the...

Players usually respond with what they are exposed to. I ban meta-gaming when I'm present but will leave the gaming area to have the players plan things out. When I am there, I have everyone talk as their character. If they don't talk in character (no, I don't mean funny voices) then I give out...

A current player described my world as grim as Darksun and as bleak as Ravenloft. There is evil everywhere in my world, and most of it are mortals who do whatever they can in order to survive. For example, one of the most strongest mortal churches regurlarly purchases slaves in order to...

Expanded Psionics Handbook: Probably. D&D Map Folio I: No Complete Divine: No Eberron Campaign Setting: No Planar Handbook: No Races of Stone: No D&D Map Folio II: No D&D Basic Set: No Monster Manual III: Probably (I'm a sucker for Monster books) Frostburn : No Eberron Whispers of the Vampire's...

Gone way, way down. Most of the stuff being released by WoTC I have very little interest in purchasing. I will probably pick up the XPH, eventually, but there's no huge rush since none of my current players want to play a psionic at this point. I use my own homebrew, so Eberron means nothing to...
