Mystery Men I voted "Other". I've seen Mystery Men crop up on a couple lists, but I definitely think it deserves top honors. Mystery Men definitely shows what it's like to be a first-level hero who still has to keep his day-job. The humor of the movie reminds me somewhat of Arthur's point of...

Huh! That's funny. I never thought of the plural of "bonus" as "boni" (although that makes perfect sense).

This is a deep problem with 3.0/3.5 edition D&D that needs to be solved! Clearly, I see that it was a bad idea to use troglodytes as an example. This bad example caused people to get sidetracked by the revision to that particular creature in 3.5 as well as the phenomenology of bad smells...

It is not uncommon for a group of adventurers to find themselves fighting multiple copies of the same type of monster. (For instance, a low level party might find itself fighting 5 or 10 troglodytes.) What if that monster has a special attack that requires a saving throw? (For instance, the...

Oh, and while you're in Columbus, don't miss the 3 Half-Price Books locations in town! As the name implies, every book they sell is half price or lower. 2 of the 3 we have in town actually stock a reasonably good selection of second-hand D&D/d20 books (as well as 2E, 1E, and other RPGs). The...

My thoughts *exactly* (except for the part where "I'll probably buy it anyway")!

Over the last month or so, I've seen numerous references to something called "True20." So today I took a trip to my FLGS to look for it, and I found nothing in the store with that title. I assume True20 is a d20 game? Is it PDF only? Who publishes it? What are its main...

No, if you leave a wizard or sorcerer class to gain levels in a PrC, your affinity with your familiar does *not* advance as if you had taken additional sorcerer/wizard levels (unless the PrC specifically says otherwise). However, I know that many groups house-rule this and allow the familiar...

I faced this exact dilemma! I actually faced this exact dilemma! I was in a 2E game with a group of good friends playing in a campaign that had been ongoing for 3 years. There was a strong developing main plot with lots of intriguing side plots for individual characters. So the company was...

This gave me a good laugh! Thanks! :-)

It probably deserved a "7", but I gave it an "8" anyway because I'll probably watch it again. (Not because it was entertaining enough to deserve a second viewing, but rather because I'm an unrepentant D&D geek and want to make sure I caught every reference.) It was definitely better than the...

What Wolf70 said. They can be taken and dropped whole into an existing campaign in any desired order. Since written adventures are "modular" in this way, they are called modules. (I'm sure Gary would tell you the same thing.)

Oops! As Gilda Radner used to say, "Nevermind!" :)

I thought this was excellent advice. So I was surprised to see the OP's response: Now, let me preface this by saying that I play 3.0. So if there were significant changes to the spell in 3.5, then what I'm about to say will be moot. However, in 3.0, you only get to take 50 lbs. per level...

Gen Con is scheduled too late for teachers! I don't know what the people who do scheduling for Gen Con are thinking! Many of us teachers (me included) had to report for teacher work days and inservices this past week. So unless the geniuses who run Gen Con move the event back a week or two...

I think this is a very good point. I think we too often overlook the "unwritten rules" of D&D. One of the most important of these is that players should defer (whenever possible) to the GM's storyline. The GM puts a lot of thought and work into the campaign. So a player shouldn't reject the...

Guilty as charged I created a Chaotic Neutral character precisely because I wanted to be able to justify any action my character might choose to take. Basically, I was running from the LG and NG characters that I usually play. I wanted to try playing someone who could turn away from the cries...

I've noticed that all the product reviews I've checked out in the last couple days (around 6) show the same avatar for all the reviewers (a freaky-looking silver headed guy). This can't be intentional, can it? Also, I remember that the reviews used to show a small picture of the cover of the...

I wear my black 30th anniversary D&D t-shirt from last year's GenCon (the one with the beholder drinking a beer on the back) pretty much anywhere that I'd wear any other t-shirt. It's a classy looking t-shirt, so yeah, I'm proud to wear it. However, I also have a "I just rolled a 20, so you...
