What's the purpose of the symbol - something for members to identify each other by (but not the authorities), something to strike fear into their victims, something to hang on the wall of the guildhouse, or just 'because they need an insignia'. Depending on the answer to that you'll have to...

What he said (but without slinking off into humble mode :) )

My Name is... Eager to join into your campaign, comes up with a well built character that will fit right into the party. The rest of the group meets him so asks for a description of the PC, and he waxes lyrical for a few minutes on all the details, bringing a great character to life. It's...

My master you have returned at last... long have I waited for you. :cool:

Wayne - that's impossible to say - each group, or rather each player needs to make up their own mind. As a DM i'll never force someone to build their character a certain way - though I will make suggestions about what I think is reasonable. I also do things like award bonus skill points in...

I agree with most of what you say mate - but am going to take the opportunity to disagree with this one. I don't think planning a 20 level build for a campaign right from the start is a 'poor' style, but I do think that rigidly sticking to that plan in spite of what happens in the campaign is...

1.) How many players in your group? Five but we're about to adding a sixth 2.) Do you DM? Yep 3.) Do other people in the group DM, and how many? Yes most of them have done so but only occasionally - these days it's pretty much just me 4.) What's the Male/Female composition of the group? 4...

I had to vote 'Use them rarely' as that is the case in my campaign history. Most campaigns I've run never saw a dragon. That said my current game is dragon heavy - the players have already killed two dragons and are very aware of another that currently hopelessly outclasses them but which one...

Quite - I left that entire section as NA - they did a %$£@@&% awful job of making it clear to me what it is they wanted so I didn't respond...

I missed last years show - how'd they do?

I love it - for the first time metal heads across Europe were represented at Eurovision and what happened - we stood up and were counted. Enough of this trite pop R&B crap that contaminates the airwaves, there's an army of metal fans here that are going to be heard. The only question now is...

But they all fly north for the winter... :p

Mouse - how about this - can you tell us when you'll be able to tell us more?

Tolkie wrote somewhere (don't have reference to hand - will try and dig it up) that the only real difference between elves and men was a matter of spirituality. Thus the Dunedain that grew up in a culture more similar to that of the elves shared some of their characteristics. How to model that...

There's the possible link to the use of picks as mining tools - you get good at swinging something in a specific way and transfer it to the axe as a weapon. However I reckon that's stretching it - probably goes back to Tolkien.

Is it my imagination or does anyone else find that when they're reading these articles the person writing them sounds like they never played a game in their life. Vitality points? I've been playing since 1st Ed and I don't remember anything called Vitality points.

And on a game play side Aus_Snow - I like the idea a great deal, particularly for the examples wuyanei gave above. However I have to say the implementation is a little dull. I don't mean any offense to you by that but it reminds me of the 'Good Poisons' in the BOED - just an attempt to arm...

I agree with the black-and-white moral point that an evil being is unlikely (though far from incapable) of giving up all worldly goods WITHOUT some form of reward. That doesn't mean they are not able to give up all worldly goods - An Evil Vow of Poverty gives the evil person what they...

Could it be Zhen in the chinese instead of Jen? - that might sound similar enough to have got lost in the translation

Hope you don't mind but part of my job is writing proposals for business development. Whilst that's not quite the same as this I thought I'd have a go at rewording your proposal (whilst trying to keep true to your thoughts) in a way that might go down better. I'll stress I'm not in education...
