HEY GUYS!!! I HAVE THE BEST CHARACTER CONCEPT EVER!!! I'm going to play a DROW... Except... Get this... He's GOOD. And he's a RANGER, and he fights with two scimitars! I'm going to have a panther as an animal companion! Hey, where are you all going? Guys?

I took some time to skim over some of the sections (races, classes, one of the others - I honestly forget!), plus the original post, and I really like what I see so far. One thing that I particularly like is that taking a level in a class gives you some extra benefits at first level - but only...

Whoa, post made to the wrong thread. Sorry about that!

Hello my fellow gang members! I didn't see a thread about this yet but I thought it would be important to bring to your attention. Dungeons and Dragons has been found to encourage gang-like behavior, and that it is a threat to prison security. If you're interested, you can read the ruling itself...

I found the Aspect system of "Spirit of the Century" to be very helpful - the character's personality and background concepts directly affect what can be accomplished. As an exercise I used the concept in general to start my most recent 3.5 character out, kind of like an outline. Then...

Hello, One of my players is interested in having a character in our 3.5 game that is heavily involved in alchemy. However, the alchemy system as it is defined in very shallow and we both would like something more in depth. I asked if he could come up with any systems that he had seen that we...

I always prefer in-person games. For the group I'm with, the role playing is actually better in person because the players are interested in role playing. So, things like facial expressions or simple posture can be used as part of that experience. With a VTT, that is lost. The VTTs seem to...

If we could reach into the real world for a bit, someone like Bernie Madoff could make a fantastic villain. This is a person who out of sheer greed stole an incredible amount of money from a LOT of people. How about what George Soros did in 1992 to the Pound Sterling. One man affecting the...

In my games, color means very little. What I have preferred to do is having all dragons start out as the standard fantasy dragon. You have teeth and claws, you breathe fire, all that good stuff. But all dragons practice magic, and some of them are able to bend the capability of their fire to do...

This is what I find to be true about characters with little to no background. They may have a personality, and they may be interested in doing X or Y or Z, but the motivations are not there. It inhibits character growth. In order to grow, you need a starting point from which to grow in the first...

Just ensure to give your players some notice that you will be tracking those resources if you normally do not BEFORE they enter. It's no fun for a player to adventure around for months, not worry about food and water due to hand wavium, then all of a sudden be told, "Oh, now that you're in the...
