    Roll Initiative!

    Combat every 4th session? Uruush, how the blue blazes can you stand that? I'm a youngin(19) played with high schoolers and in some cases middle schoolers who were on the ball and if we didn't get at least 2 knock down drag out brawls a session we'd feel cheated. I've played in a lot of sessions...

    Making Favoured Classes Count: A Gestalt Character Idea

    Throw them a little feat and XP loving. Say, every 5 classes you get another feat, and give a bonus to XP, too like 10%. That'll keep people's interests more than some funky gestalt rules that will totally unbalance the game. Hmm, the Half Orc can either be Fighter 4/Blah Blah Blah 5 or he can...

    How many people do you have on ignore? (No names!)

    Gee, I hope it wasn't the duck thing, because I did preface that with a warning.

    Where are all the male ducks?

    Erotic pillowfights? Warning: Do not read further if you don't want to read a potentially humorous story about duck sex. I've had the exact opposite happen to me. At Luther Prep, the boarding school I went to, every duck it seemed was a guy one year. Total sausage fest. But then the ladies would...

    Which creature you would like to see undergo a monster makeover? RESULTS ARE UP

    I like the Delver. The Delver is cool. Leave the Delver alone!

    Mearls, please give the mind flayer a makeover!

    The Athach is totally over the top for its CR in my opinion, but how many times does it get used? Exactly. The Rakshasa is a pretty easy fix in my mind, lop a point or two off of the CR and give it Sorcerer levels for more gear, spells, and the elite scores. Its not going to rock anybody's world...

    Roll Initiative!

    In media res is traditionally a fight, but it doesn't always have to be. The group has to track down thieves, or perfrom a service to enter a guild, participate in a tournament, or hasa heated argument with a power broker in the city over X or somebody framed them for action Y and they have to...

    How many people do you have on ignore? (No names!)

    Nobody, mostly because I rarely get into serious beefs with people. Every time I have at other boards I engage in a flamewar with the offender and later we sheepishly admit we were acting like tools and patch it up. I guess I'm lucky that way.

    Sell Hackmaster to me

    The game is a homage to the older days, and uses a lot of the 1e rules with a lot of added stuff/house rules. It plays pretty good. The talents, quirks, and flaws that you choose or roll up go a long way to making every character unique and memorable. The races like Pixie Fairies, Thug Halfings...

    Mearls, please give the mind flayer a makeover!

    Here is what I've wondered for a while. In the example for designing the guy goes on about how Cleric is non-associated for Gnolls and how strong that is blah blah blah. But it has racial dice and a LA like the Flayer. So could a flayer take levels in martial classes as non-associated or is that...

    Why do people pretend CR makes sense?

    I've seen far too many CRs that just make me go "Huh?" that if I DM another Dungeons and Dragons game I'll be raising and lowering CR like a fiend. The Rakshasa shouldn't be CR 10, there are plenty of cannon examples of creatures that cast near their CR with enough special abilities for them to...

    PHB II: Duskblade too powerful?

    A competent Gish build can hang with a duskblade every day of the week, in my opinion. They're on the upper end of strong but they're far from being gamewreckers or "broken". Arguably 3 core classes are just as strong, if not stronger. There is plenty to not like. Limited Armor, limited casting...

    The Tyranny of Choice

    I like non-core stuff, thats what I've played for years, but I'd like to get back to the roots, know what I mean? It is just a real headache for a player, and especially the DM, at some point. Also, I'm burnt out on templates and silliness and party composition that looks like Monster Manuals...

    Published Open Source Game Settings?

    Nyambe, from page 54 onwards, I believe is open source/open license. Its a very good setting in a very neglected part of the fantasy world. Check it out.

    The Tyranny of Choice

    I guess my wanting a core only game could be considered a bit of an overcorrection.

    Bestiary of the Realms II released

    God, those ruled. Right up there with downloads I payed good money for, and surpassing quite a few of them, to be honest.
