    Iuz stats?

    I am running a group of players through my own 3.5 conversion of the classic ToEE. They have cleared out three of the temples and are around 10th level now. Despite reading the module 50 times I still have a hard time understanding the convoluted incestuous god thing that is going on behind...

    Which of the H, L, N & S series adventures have you played or ran?

    I loved the first 2 or 3 Bloodstone Pass modules. I always really dug the Battlesystem that was used. I never played the last one, H4. I think the idea of running it gave my DM panic attacks. I always really liked the Assassins Knot. That module influenced my homebrew for a long time...

    What Kind of D&D Character Would You Be?

    I Am A Neutral Good Human Wizard (5th Level) Strength - 13 Dexterity - 16 Constitution - 15 Intelligence - 17 Wisdom - 11 Charisma - 16 I think that my Con used to be 15+. But that was before 10 years of smoking (Damn low Wis bringing down my Con). It is lower than 15 now. Other than that...

    Which other "basic" adventures have you played or ran?

    Although I have read a few of those I never had the opportunity to run or play any of those. Shame.

    Which "B Series" adventures have you played or ran?

    I both DMd and played KotB so many times. All of us had that module memorized. Somehow that did not detract from the fun. I also played in Horror on the Hill, and then later a ran it to or three times for various groups.

    So what 3E adventures were worst?

    I will have to cast my vote for several sections of the Worlds Largest Dungeon. Some of the sections are good, but some of them are REALLY bad.

    D&D 4E Will you buy 4e?

    I, like many others, have went through many editions of the game. I only bought the core 3.5 books and I had many years of fun with those three books. I will probably purchase the 3 core books for the new edition too. But not much more.

    D&D 4E Poll: How do you feel about 4E

    I voted 5. I am curious, but wary. So far, I like what I hear about rules changes. The Digital Initiative and the delivery of info through the computer has me a bit concerned. I must be a sucker. I already have a huge bookshelf of stuff from 3 previous versions on my bookshelf.

    The big announcement: 4dventure

    I don't know what to think. I'm kind of excited to see the new product...and yet thinking "ahhh-man, another set of rules to learn".

    What size groups are you most comfortable DMing for?

    I put 3-4-and 5. I currently have seven players in one of my games with an eighth wanting to join. It is great that I have an assistant dm. Otherwise it would be way too many for me to handle.

    Homebrewers: How Publishable is Your Brew?

    My stories are good and my characters are memorable. However, all of my maps are completely ripped off from various published materials.

    What do you think is the hardest AD&D or D&D video game fight?

    I'm with Imp. Pool of Radience was awful even after the suppossed patches. Some of those fights were darn near impossible. It was hard and bad. Not a good combination. I finally had to walk away in frustration.

    I'm not sure if I agree, but my players swear upon the usefullness of the 11' pole.

    What kind of player are you

    I am without a doubt Brilliant Planning. I love it when a plan comes together. However I rarely get satisfaction. Other players rarely like all of the planning involved and DMs don't like me bypassing the encounters planned or having very easy victories from one well placed move. Wish...

    Essential Healing

    The Black Company Books... Basic hygeine is enforced. Surgeons stop the bleeding and hope infection does not set in. Wizards (which are very few) can brew some healing potions. These are very difficult and time consuming to create and even the most minor wizard has better things to do.

    Commeth the Banhammer...

    Verbotten! If you say "I use magic missile" in a certain whiney voice I will look at you funny. Any reference to sorcerers of light shooting the darkness I will give you a stern warning. Any reference to + 9 ogre slaying knives and you are out of my house. Any shouting from the kitchen...

    Leadership Feat

    In a recent long-term game our characters had some land and a small keep granted to them for their services. My dwarven cleric immediately took the leadership feat and stocked the keep with loyal servents and guards. The cohort (dwarven fighter/paladin) was left behind to administer the keep...

    Did your parents get you into gaming?

    I am not sure how to answer this. My mother did, but very accidentally. When I was in 5th grade my mother came home with the BD&D red box set. She had bought it thinking it was a boardgame for the family. She played the game for about 10 minutes. I played for the next 25 years.

    DM Cheating

    Through most of my gaming life we just let the dice fall and whomever dies, dies. I gamed with a few "killer DMs", but most were very fair. I learned to create my characters optimized for defense, offense was secondary. I could count on half of my characters not making it to 5th level. I...
