    A tribute (i think)...

    "Generally to enjoy roleplay you have to be able to socialise and take on or at least understand another persons point of view. This is also an important skill to hold an arguement without the need to shout, resort to offensive behaviour or generally be a complete pillock." Please be kind and...

    (Been done, I know) What is with Quick Draw?

    Ah, I get it. Having never DMed 3e but this new campaign, I haven't had PCs who have more than one attack yet. It does make sense when you want the full-round action. Thanks!

    (Been done, I know) What is with Quick Draw?

    I remember this being looked at before, but my connection out here is not quailty enough for me to go a-searching for the thread. What is with the Quick Draw feat when, if you have a BAB of +1, you can draw your weapon during a move action? Am I missing something, guys? The only thing I can...

    Gaming Horror Stories...

    A little too contrived for me to believe. Especially all the poo about the new combat system. However, in a metaphoric sense, they are quite funny, and I know my fair share of players like El Disgusto.

    odd request(ot) (help me build a dragon!)

    As much as I wouold love to be a part of this, I have no idea where to get said clay here. The soil is generally quite dry and brittle, but higher up in the mts you have the dark, rich stuff I used to see every day in Illinois, my home. Give me some ideas . . .

    Treasure Quests WTF?!

    I so TOTALLY agree. I think a 5 year old put that together. It is really discouraging to find a product like this that sells and know that you yourself, a non-publisher dude, could do much better. Why should I buy anything else from FFE again with this to go on? And what is up with the...

    RPG purchases you use(ed) regularly

    D&D of couse, since I was a 7 or 8 year old watching my brother's group. But I can't believe GURPS hasn't been mentioned. We tried this several times for a more gritty fantasy game,and I still like it. Now with d20's tighness, though, we haven't gone back to it. Played Shadowrun for a year...

    [OT] Sep. 11th was the day that I...

    Honestly, Sep 11 was the day that I knew that overweight, ignorant-to-the-world Americans would be breaking out their "Patriot: Scud Buster" T-shirts again. Yes, I am bitter, for our country has still not realized that we are hated because of jealousy, not for some religious rage. Just plain...

    Ideal Party Make-up.

    The biggest campaign I ever ran started with 3 players (ended with 6) and we had (1st ed): Monk Druid Ranger It was a great combo. Added next were a 2nd ed elf bard, a dual class Assassin/Fighter, and a 1/2 elf ftr/mage. The group was great, of course, but lacked the up-front fighter type...

    What languages do you speak?

    1. Almaty, Kazakhstan, but I am an American working over here. 2. Russian is prime here. 3. and 4. English native, Russian fluent, Kazakh with difficulty. 5. Russian 90%, English 10%. Sometimes I just can't describe things eloquenly enough and I have to have one of the players translate...

    Forgotten Rums....? Evil Overlords...?

    FR will never disappear because someone else will buy the rights. IMHO, WotC will spin off slow-selling campaign settings to 3rd parties who will keep them alive. I am already a thoroughly disillusioned man, mostly due to how I see your tax dollars spent over here (I spend them, BTW) and in a...

    Looking for a good website for miniatures. . .

    Fellow boardies, Please lend a guy a hand who has only three weeks left in the states before he goes back to work in central Asia. I'm looking to purchase some miniatures, and don't want to drive over 30 minutes, which means that I need to get them online as I am temporarily located in...

    Looking for Players in Springfield IL this summer

    I'll be in central IL this summer from June 23rd to mid August and I' love to DM a group of non-munchkin players. (I am normally a int dev contractor in Central Asia but my wife is giving birth this summer so we're on Family/Medical Leave; that's why the short time span.) Feel free to...

    A question to my fellow Europeans

    Let's see . . . um, none. Luckily, I am returning to the US for the summer.

    Converted adventures

    Night Below - - Most totally agree with the above. I DMed it well nigh 5 or 6 years ago, and found the first book interesting but from then on the rest was poor. I was disappointed in the abundance of magic items (I perefer to personalize all magic items, and there were soooo many generic...

    [OT, Star Wars] Empire Is Good.

    Useless point. It is bad vs. good, and bad is the empire and the other guys are good. End of story. This guy, among others, is reading far too much into something that Lucas has not thought much about himself! However, the bad guys have much better music. . . .but don't they always...

    Who here has tickets for opening day?[OT]

    Well, I broke down and got one, too. Cost was 700 tenge; that's $4.60. Wife can't go; she's 31 weeks pregnant and seeing Spiderman last week sent the little one twirling with all the loud noise. I'll see it at 1930 on Friday here, which is 830 am EST.

    What you want in a module

    For one, plug-and-play compatibility. Why should I buy something made specifically for the X campaign or city when I use my own world? Why else did they chose the word "module?" Next, I'd like to see more of a description for the product. e.g.: "This module is a site-based dungeon-type...
