    Eberron: Is it *really* a swashbuckling kind of campaign setting?

    Well, when setting up my 1st Eberron adventure (which starts Friday, yeah), I pondered several syles for the game and went with a pulp noir style, which seemed in perfect harmony with the setting set in Sharn. There seems to be to much intrigue for a swashbuckling campaign which is all daring...

    Which die do you use the most?

    Currently its the d4, as my current character is running around with daggers, lt. pick, lt hammer, and is a ranger and those are light weapons. But in the past its been d6s d8s and d10. Alas the lonely d12 barely gets rolled.

    How do you organise the stuff from Dragon you want to use?

    I scan them, and make them into PDFs. Though I'm a bit behind (probably because my scanner broke).

    "Gaming Divorce"

    Gotta say giving someone the boot. Though I've never actually done it, I have had a hand at doing it. I also did the remove myself, and it left me with a nearly 2 year long self-imposed exile from roleplaying. That left the group dead in the water. But to tell the truth, the group was...

    Heavy Computer use linked to eye disease!

    WooHoo, so according to this I'm off the hook on eye damage from moniters (and by extension TVs), as I'm farsighted. Of course It says nothing about farsighted-ness, only talking about people with normal and shortsighted eyesight. But that's justification (I think) for taking up the computer...

    20,00 Gallons of Beer, Spillled!!!!!

    By the gods of alcohol, the heresy the sacrilage. The perpertrators should be punished in the worst possible way. That is the most hienous crime, I've ever heard. The train operator, rail people, and anyone else even remotely involve need to be arrested. Now leave me to my sorrow for spilling of...

    Where have I seen this before?

    Don't quote me, but I think Magic of Faerun had something along those lines.

    Problem with my Yahoo mail account

    Couple of things, clean out your browser cache, I've had similar problems when It got too full. And check if you have scripting turned off in your browser. The Yahoo mail page has alot of scripts running. Outside of those, Spyware, Adware or virus. I really doubt the hardrive or ram has anything...

    alt named minis for official monsters (was mind flayer minis)

    Tell you what since I feel bad about not reading your post here the numbers of two of the Bathalian. And I think there's a third but it was old so it might have been discontinued. The first one is the one I have 2568 D'Khul M'Broon Bathalian 2843: Undead Bathalian

    alt named minis for official monsters (was mind flayer minis)

    Reaper minis makes several called Bathalian, they look close to a mind flayer, what with a squid head and wearing robes and all. I bought one and its half painted, and plan to use it at as a mind flayer. Actually Reaper Minis make a lot of D&D like minis, they don't always use the name but some...

    How do you handle campaign cheaters?

    I've known before hand about an adventure my DM was using (either because I read it or DMed it), but I never used that knowledge in a game. Only once I was caught smiling about something stupid the party was about to do and I knew better, the DM asked me why I was smiling and I fessed up, but I...

    Down with the negativity! Tell me what you like about 3E.

    What I like about it (and I didn't post on the other threads, because there's very little I don't like about it). NO THAC0, Backwards Armor Class; no vague saving throws that you didn't understand why you saved with that, just have three saves; no level limits; full creature stats; a single...

    How do you like your PC, in relation to the other PCs?

    I voted quirky and heroic. I just like to have characters with wierd quirks, my current character is a half-orc ranger, whose, right now, only quirk is he's civilized. Oh, yeah and all my characters have to be heroic, that doens't mean they have to have awesome stats, it just means they ain't...

    Single Classed, Multiclassed, or Just a Mess?

    Though I voted I'll stick with a single class sometimes, and multiclass other times, most of the time I multiclass. My current character, I plan to keep a ranger his entire existance, though he did lose a level thanks to death.

    Having trouble with a villain.

    Here's my idea, how bout a plane of madness. Not a planet like your other planes but a roving cloud or comet, it starts out in the beginnig small, barely a blip on the campaign radar, but gets bigger spreading madness and illogic as it goes, like a glacier forming on the plane of fire, etc. The...

    NFL Week 8

    The Texans making the playoffs, a thought undreamed of. But after beating the Jaguars in good fashion, it might happen. With the Colts losing (over a 1000 yards of offense combined in one game, what is this world coming too) and the Titans winning, that division is really starting to look like...

    Desert island monsters

    Lets see, I don't know about a desert island, but on a deserted island 1. Kobolds or Orcs (depends on the theme I'm using*) 2. Dinosaurs (especially deinonychus, mounts for the above mentioned race) 3. Killer plants (assassin vines make excellent encounters) 4. Dragon (probably red, as a kind...

    It feels great to game again

    I'm gonna add to this by saying this past Friday was the first time I've gamed in over a year. It was great even though my character died. And I'll reiterate the message for those who haven't played in a while. Patients is a virtue whose rewards are magnified by their diligence. Don't give up...

    Is it common for players to powergame?

    Let me weigh in on this. Yes....Actually one the first DMs I learned to play with (back in early 2e years) actually encouraged this style of play. Handing out uber-powerful weapons and equipment (oh your third level, you need a +8 sword of uber-goodieness). Needless to say, when I took up the DM...
