    How did you arrive at D&D?

    Computer games first. It went something like this. Dragon Warrior/Final Fantasy (old NES games) -> D&D Gold Box CRPGs -> 2e D&D -> 3e D&D. Of course, books & stories had a solid influence going with this. Conan -> Earthsea Trilogy -> Dragonlance Cronicles -> 2e D&D -> 3e D&D Its a toss up...

    Round 11 is OVER

    Greater Spell Penetration - This is a pretty worthless feat overall. I usually languishes on a character sheet never seeing the light of day, thats saying someone was dumb enough to take it. Precise Shot - Why does this feat have a pre-requisite? Because of that it is hardly ever taken, because...

    Class 'tweaks' - cost a feat, or even swap?

    If it seems reasonable sure, I'll allow it. Blowing a feat, for an ability switch is kinda wrong, and very expensive, and I wouldn't do it.

    Round Vi Is Over

    Craft Rod why because craft wand/staff/rod should be the same feat Tip to survive: Improved Initiative - Its a feat every class can use.

    Silliest Game Quote

    After the rogue successfully bluffed her way into a tavern guarded by city watchmen, and something alerted the guards (I forgot what*), the guards bust down the door and yell up the stairs to the rogue "Get down here now". The player in character says "But I haven't found my stuff yet" *I...

    What's your single favorite D&D creature?

    My favorite, lets see illithid, no wait, orcs, or maybe goblins. No definiately kobolds... and gnomes. Yeah, kobolds and gnomes, two races that hate each other, yeah they're my favorites. Can't cut it any more.

    Do your Front line characters refuse Enlarge Person?

    If offered they use it. Otherwise they'll use what they got, unless it just seems impractical.

    Where to find the best modern miniatures?

    I'll toss in for Foundry's Street Violence line. I'll also throw up http://www.dark-age.com/main.php which has some neeto apocalyptic minis, alot of which are based on Brom's artwork, some of which might work for you.

    Were you a goofy looking kid?

    Well I guess I was cute as a child, very short though (wasn't until I was 12 that I broke 5 ft. tall of course didn't quit 'til I was 6'1"), most everyone has said I was cute when they look at old pictures of me (and do a double take when they notice my hair was red). I grew to be a pretty...

    Do you mark your books?

    I marked yes, even though its not a yes, as I don't do it for security purposes. I do annotations, corrections and the like in my books. Shoot, it was interesting that I had someone pick up my book by accident and when he saw there were marks in it, actually commented that is was dumb to defile...

    Word Processor or Legal Pad?

    Actually I could care less what I put my ideas on, though the computer usually gets the nod, because I have trouble getting a pad and finding a writing utensil (shoot I've been looking for my grid pad for the last 2 weeks). Though I've created many an adventure on paper.

    Gnomes

    I love gnomes personnally. In my campaigns gnomes have always been some form of power broker, whether in information or magic. Which incedently is a reason I took to the Eberron campaign setting. And every campaign I've ever DMed (with the exception of Dark Sun) has had a gnome NPC in it...

    New DM - NPC shops and wares?

    Lets see, I usually wing whats in the stores. I let the player tell me what they want, and then decide if the shop has it or something similar, I might put percent die roll to see if its there or not. For example, you want to do a shop that makes greatswords rarer, so I might arbitrarily say...

    Attacks of Opportunity

    I always (at least when I know to) tell my players about it. And my players usually do the same for me. Of course, I'm very forgetful and as such, I miss things, way, way, way to much. And I don't like to screw my players that way. I like to do that by the books.

    Sin City

    I loved it, gave it a 9. I've glanced at Frank Miller's Sin City graphic novels before, but never read them.

    What class(es) does your group tend to avoid?

    I've seen every character class in the Core books played at least once (the least played are the barbarian, druid, and sorcerer each 1 time). 3rd party material has been used (to the detriment of some DMs, not this one). Psionics are consistantly picked, and for the complete series, I've got in...

    What are your favorite weapons?

    I really like the handaxe, I mean you got this little weapon that look only good for choping pieces of wood, but your cleaving peoples heads with it. Oh yeah, and the good old trusty dagger, I always include at least one one every character I make (whether I'm DM or Player). Good in a pinch...

    What class can you not bring yourself to play?

    The one class I'll never stoop to play a cleric, I hate them, despise them, actually discourage players from playing them in the campaigns I DM (don't outlaw them though). I'll play a monk (my next least favorite) before, and if the party needs healing I'll play a bard, druid or paladin. Of...
