    Moral quandry (Alignment question of a sort)

    You are hitting on another one of the weaknesses of the alignment system. Personal Alignment vs Macro Alignment. I truly believe that no Government can actually be Good or Evil - and that 90% are actually LN. Nearly all governments work towards the betterment of their citizens (or certainly a...

    Should the DM foster Party Conflict?

    Well, The Gods (i.e. me) have not really decided how far they should push their followers. Right now, the Orc could care less what the Elf (or his god) thinks of him.... and the party os low enough level that the Gods also have more importan things to do. However, what I am planning on doing...

    Should the DM foster Party Conflict?

    I am asking this becuase I have to *potential* for an interesting conflict within my party, but am concerend that forcing the issue could break the party. The situation is this. Party member A is a CN Half-Orc Barbarian that worships Gruumsh - specifically the aspects of the strong triumphing...

    [OT] History of the World

    I have played HotW about 6 times and have found it to be very enjoyabe. It typically takes about 4-5 hours of time and yes the comments of power differences between the varios civilizations can be extreme, which is why I feel that game is balanced for 6 people and starts to skew rapidly the...

    Why are ther no d20 Urban Sourcebooks or Adventures?!!!!

    Wow, this is all very good news - and that the d20 license is doing what is is supposed to. It always surprised me that there was not more Urban information. My rational was more people = more chance for adventure. No to bad most of it wont help me for tomorrow...... :(

    Why are ther no d20 Urban Sourcebooks or Adventures?!!!!

    First and Foremost - I know about Speaker in Dreams and the Freeport Series. But I have noticed, if you want to adventure in a Rural setting, there is an amazing lack of any information - however, there is something for just about every rural setting - heck there are multiple seafaring books...

    Help fleshing out plague plot idea

    Another angle to consider that most likely those individuals who could afford to move in this situation were the upper and middle class - groups with money - thus they ended up hireing a mercenary group to protect them. These mercenaries where subjected some type of ritual that so long as the...

    Adventurer's University - Class List

    It really appears that you have the course work covered (at least for the first couple of years) It may be the case that each of the classes represent "chains" and each year would add another +2 to each skill - S o Biology 101 gives +2 in Natural Animals – Animal Empathy, Handle Animal...

    Do you think my wife would like M:TG?

    Hoju, Carcassone was designed and released in Germany by Hans Im Glück and released in the US/Canada by Rio Grande Games - try www.riograndgames.com - you can order it directly from them or through your local game shop - either works. It won the prestigious Spiel des Jhares ("Game of the...

    Do you think my wife would like M:TG?

    I also highly recommend Carcassone - this is a great - easy to learn game. Sumamry of the Game: Carcassonne is a tile-laying game where the players create a landscape of roads, walled mediaeval Cities, Roads, cloistered Monasteries and Farms. Carcassonne is a simple and well thought out game...

    Ok..How about a FR adventure to download.

    The obvious Question - have you tried WOTC's site? While they do not have specific FR modules (for 3rd edition) some of their short adventures can easily be placed in any realm. They also have some of the 2nd edition FR stuff (like Maztika) that could be used as background info.

    What's Your Biggest Failing as a DM

    I have to admit, it is nice seeing others have difficulty DMing. Reading the story hours (most notably Pcats) can really throw the proverbial wet blanket on your ego as a DM. However, then I tell myself that: 1) Worlds are not built overnight 2) They have been playing together for many years...

    [OT, Olympics] Russia pulling out?

    Overall, I think that the Russians are whining - but that could be how they are being portrayed by the media - ours is still biased against the Russian bear - they make easy bad guys. Overall, his complainst seem to be the following: 1) Canada should not have gotten the gold in Figure Skating...

    [Olympics] We Were Robbed! Part 2

    This is definately a news item here in Europe (well maybe just France - all the Dutch care about is why thier speedskaters are choking...) as well. In fact here in Paris the story is receiving Top billing ahead of the Slobidan Milosovich trials. Of course, I really have no idea what they are...

    Did we ever get the Update about the Paladin and Succubus?

    Inquiring minds want to know - it is possible that this was posted, but with the board changes, I missed it.

    I have been volunteered to work on an assignment for about 3 monts in Amsterdam (and Paris) and was curious about what good gaming shops there are in Amsterdam. Additionally, are there any groups there looking for a temporary player?
