    Why do Dwarves drink Whiskey or Ale?

    This thread makes me want to make a minor deity called Uncle Neckbeard Fleischmanns who brings fashion and cheap vodka to the masses.

    Spiked Chains: Pure cheese or sometimes OK?

    Ehh, it isn't as good as everybody makes it out to be. Low damage, and there are many creatures that either can't be tripped(oozes, many plants, flying creatures) and the vast majority of your enemies will never be disarmed, ever, simply because they are not armed. It'd be a great choice for...

    Surprised by the non-suckage

    I've been pleasantly surprised by the non-suckage of the 3rd edition modules/adventures. They can be tweaked to 3.5 rather painlessly and for somebody as cheap as myself getting a 40 or 60 page hardcopy adventure for under 3 bucks is amazing. The same can be said for just about any 3rd Edition...

    Surprised by the non-suckage

    This is the thread for the things that are generally viewed as bad or poor quality that you said "You know what? I don't know whats wrong with everybody, I dig this." I'm just going to give one example for the sake of brevity. Magic of Incarnum: Bought the book brand spanking new for 12 dollars...

    how to convince people that D&D is not evil

    Palladium Games is the bomb. Other than that I agree with this thread. On the false gods things: If the person is really so worried about false gods why don't they try to convert the billions of people who don't worship the same gods as they do? Unless they think that Pelor and Gruumsh are...

    Do elves have body hair?

    I don't remember if I said gay or the not so nice term for a gay person. Oops. Anyhow, believe me, I did tone it down and I did watch the language. I despise elves and I hope they all die in fires. /I see your Drizzt...And raise you a Gimli and a Gotrek!

    Do elves have body hair?

    SLUR DELETED BY MODERATOR Just kidding, they're just very, very metro and don't produce a lot of testosterone. And what's with the female beard hatred? I think its pretty funny and dare I say it, hawt. Let's watch the language, Fishbone. - Rel

    Gaming Food

    Gamer Communion: Pizza and Grape Soda. Fruit and Vegetables:Cheap, not greasy or messy, easy storage Pretzels:Get from the dollar store, 2 dollars will set you up for a relatively healthy and clean snack, and a good 2 or 3 pounds of the stuff to boot. Homemade jerky:Nuff said.

    how to convince people that D&D is not evil

    I'm glad I'm an apostate and don't have to justify my every breath and thought to these gasbags anymore. There are some people you can't argue with or convince. These modern day Pharisees are impossible to reach. I taste, touch, and want whatever I want.

    Will you accept fudging?

    Never. Unless there is a mechanical in-game reason for it like Hero, Action, or Luck points, bennies, and so forth, I never want it to occur. I feel cheated if I know that the baddie "made" his save, or my character was spared, or damage was being skimmed off the top or that the blow hit "but...

    Dragons... has the icon been lost?

    In the example dragon the big tactic was magic, and for most of them magic is a huge part of every dragon I've fought. I've been on the bad side of some pimped out Wraithstrike-Power Attack-Buffed to Redunkulous smackdowns. But I've also been on the painful side of super de dooper metabreath...

    How much damage should an X level melee do?

    Eh, I think that every hit you do should be a good 20 damage, at least, by that level, and if you're forcing massive damage checks you're doing at least 25 damage a smack. Get Hasted, Rage Up, two-handed wielding, get buffed through the roof, and you ought to be doing at least 25 damage a crack...

    Dragons... has the icon been lost?

    I used to hate the fact that dragons could cast. Period. Now I see it as a necessary evil unless you tweak the hell out of them and give them very strong abilities. I think Mearls did a pretty good job with that. The thing that makes me so frustrated with the Dungeons and Dragon dragon isn't...

    Dragons... has the icon been lost?

    A'koss, PREACH IT, OH MY BROTHER! I've thought and said this for years, and you've said it better than I ever have. This gets linked to in every dragon discussion I ever have online for months, if not years. I might even favorite the mofo.

    Why are Favoured Souls so Popular?

    A charismatic cleric variant that casts more often, spontaneously, and gets resistance, focus, specialization, and flight. Its pretty obvious. They're a very strong and fun class to play.

    [Savage Worlds] Secret License Revealed: Savage World of Solomon Kane!

    No, the 15d6 spells, thats a fistful. HERO is a fistful. Roll 2 die isn't a fistful. I'm more psyched for the Low Life Player's Guide and the Whole Hole, though I do like Soloman Kane.

    Are high level truenamers viable?

    Item familiar, stacking bonuses and items up to +20, the ability to get +5 to a skill check, max ranks, buff your Intelligence, Skill Focus. Bam, now its too EASY to make your checks This has all been said a billion times before in the billion threads adressing this seeming imbalance.

    New Crunch: I done had enough of this stuff!!!

    Warning:Rampant Speculation The DM needs to set his foot down. First off, he's probably being swamped with requests and rather than reviewing them for balance he lets everything go. He most likely doesn't have the time to review every little class, prestige class, feat, spell, and item to see if...

    No 4th Edition

    In all fairness to GURPS they've been around for 20 years and in that time have released 4 editions. Thats a bit quicker than D&D but 5 years an addition is hardly cranking them out.
