I've had this trouble for a while. Next summoners IMC are going to have to prepare a stat block for any creature they want to summon.

Odd enough, my philosophy nowadays is closer to "everything that isn't a PC is an NPC, even that wraith that is attacking you on sight".

I think that half the problem is that people don't perceive other messageboard posters as "their company", but as some sort of smart postbot. I routinely read posts that I just can't see a civil person saying to the other guy's face. Personally, I've adopted the following guideline: never...

Between all of us, we've got a 3.0 core rules set, a 3.5 core rules set, two more PHBs, the MotP and half the splatbooks in Italian, and about half of the FR products in Italian. I've also got the old core Basic D&D rules in Italian (Red/Blue/Green/Black boxes) and a bunch of supplements. I used...

I'd make a Bard 100, max out Charisma and Diplomacy, and persuade all the powers in the campaign to give me the multiverse.

Something else: play at a higher level. Level is supposed to be the indicator of a character's power, after all.

Yes, you can play D&D with little to no magical items, as long as the DM is aware that he'll have to estimate each challenge by himself, without CR. Also, the players should be aware that they won't be of roughly equal power any more. Spellcasters become a lot more powerful. Any fighter is going...

But that photo is only part of the truth! It has been cut before being released from Area 51! Look at this complete picture, and prepare for the invasion!

I'm not into D&D minis, but that archon looks pretty cool (I don't like the sword's tip, but that's easily fixed). The air elemental, too. Painted differently and with some mods, it could make for an impressive ooze-like creature. I don't like the skeleton, though it could be the painting...

No, that's where you hide the fake and possibly explosive phylactery. The real phylactery you discreetly put in a safe-deposit box in a Swiss bank.

Word. When I get bored, characters start to die in horrible ways.

I've tried in the past to give roleplaying rewards, but it doesn't really help and it is extremely hard to assign them fairly. I've dropped the idea nowadays.

Hm. I DM way too much. First dead PC was already in 3.0, and he died from poison on a crossbow bolt. In other games... mmm... well, I lost too many CoC and Stormbringer characters to remember which was first. Having to guess, I reckon the CoC character died from a gun wound and the Stormbringer...

I recall reading somewhere that certain species of ants are actually used as a treatment in these cases (where less disturbing methods aren't available). They eat the dead bits and don't touch the healthy ones. Very close to what happened to me in Iceland. I climbed down a crater to take a bath...

Hi and welcome! :)

I like the setting, but I've already played a lot of it in 2E and the beginning of 3E. I've got too many cool things to try to go back to it now. :)

I had a similar situation in a previous (3.0) campaign, caused by excessive powergaming and some cheating as well. So I used wizards casting Disjunction and Quickened Teleport, dragons that breathed unresistable damage, and multiple Balors. Oh, and the most powerful character was dunked into...

I don't have D&D t-shirts, but if I did I'd wear them. Hell, I often wear a t-shirt that has a green Alien-like thing drawn as if it was bursting out of my chest, with a big "WE ARE HORNY" text under it. I mean, what beats that?

Right now, I'd love to play a Black Company campaign.

"You leave Theramore's port. After three days of navigation you reach a small village on the coast. From there, you pick up horses and leave for Bael Modan. You reach the dwarven city after two weeks of travel. The trip is uneventful, apart from a few brigands which you easily rout."
