Are you saying that you want the grapple rules changed so that it is possible to, uhm, grapple flyers and oozes? Not to mention, to grapple things so big that you can't even hug their leg? Dude, the problem here isn't the rules. You need to be more in touch with reality.

From the Abyssal Campaign (link in my sig): The Temple of Insanity. Located on the jungle layer of Demozg, the Temple of Insanity is both a religious place and a palace for Demogorgon. From the outside, it looks like a step pyramid, which merges midway with an enormous statue of the demon lord...

I use it very often. Usually, I keep a low-level slot (say, first or second). That way I can pull off a utility spell (knock, identify, detect magic, whatever) if need be. Up until now, I've only prepared the spell while in a quiet place, but I suspect that my DM would allow me to prepare...

I think that Sholari was thinking more about ways to change the roleplaying hobby itself, rather than rule changes to 3.5 D&D. The main issue I have is the extreme asymmetry between the time investment on the DM's side and on the players' side. IMO, this is the main cause of such aberrations as...

Yay! Happy birthday!

We-ell, sorta. You won't have random people around, stealing your loot and kills and exp, that's correct. But you aren't going to literally play alone for very long. The quests get steadily more difficult, much faster than your character becomes more powerful. You can hire NPCs to help you, but...

The concept is pretty cool. But when I hear "item of legacy", I can't help thinking of an ISA video card driver for Windows XP. I'm afraid I'm beyond hope. :(

Euh? Unless I'm missing something very strange, that's false. I've logged on Diablo right now, and I never paid a dime.

It's free to play online. They'll release expansion packs, probably for around 30$, but I don't expect more than one or two per year, and you will not be required to buy them to keep playing. They have even assured us that the expansion packs will not cause power inflation (so you won't have to...

I came from AD&D 2e - running as fast as I could, in fact.

So, am I the only one who thinks that the new batmobile is outright horrible? Way too extravagant. I wish they used a sleek black sports car, filled it with gadgets and whatnot, and said that it was made in kevlar or something. This thing looks like the kind of car the Hulk would drive.

Definitely not undead. The Planescape way was to use the normal monster stats, but back then we didn't have types, templates and whatnot. In Planescape, I'd use normal monsters but make them petitioners. For a normal campaign, I'd use "normal" orcs and goblins, except that they have the Outsider...

I'd try to arrange things so that it looks like the Cold Ones killed the winter wolves and kidnapped the kid. I'd have to act fast and smart - winter wolves aren't too bright but they do have Scent. Maybe the Illusionist could help - stay on the top of a nearby tree, invisible, and use a major...

I voted number one, though I think I need to be more accurate. PCs don't jump in la... well, one did exactly that in my last Warcraft session, but he had fire protection up and survived, ok? Anyway, the stuff I was thinking about is more on the lines of "don't charge an enemy you know nothing...

Top of the list are poor decisions, but since we're talking about direct causes... most PCs die from hitting -10 HP, but save or die spells aren't far behind. CON damage and negative levels are far more uncommon.

Dunno, a frost giant with haste, bull's strength, bear's endurance and displacement sounds pretty scary to me.

I don't think this is a good idea. D&D articles would be largely irrelevant to a general audience. An encyclopedia isn't supposed to contain information that is so much specific. Check out Tarrasque Wrangler's link instead; that's the right place.

Hm. Magic: the Gathering and a non-GURPS Discworld.

Planescape all the way...

This is a very good premise to explain magic that does stuff with physical forces, but I don't see it working for, eg, mind effects; nor does it explain stuff like why you can magically create a whole bunch of lead but just a bit of gold. I think you're going to need a lot of ad-hoc explanations...
