    Lame Names

    I once played a Kobold sorcerrer named Aryte Vorastrix. It was actually a draconic translation but during every battle our DM usually motions to the person who has initiative and says All right your go. Which always sounded like Aryte your go. It was rather confusing. Also my best freind...

    What is the standard ability score set? Are most games playing too high?

    I have seen many players who seem to think having a modifier of zero or negative one in an ability means they need to play their character as dumb if it is in intelligence or completely helpless if it is in strength or any other number of ridiculous extremes. I am of the mind set that these are...

    Can you gauge RPG interest by out of game behavior (updated)

    WOW I am glad I wasn't the only one getting a little annoyed last night. If he has to constantly prod her along and help make her descisions for her like he did in that game last night that is gonna make the the new Campaighn drag ass. Also we saw with Nuri last campaighn what having a person...

    How to get rid of the adversarial tone in the game

    If their tactical plans verge on metagaming then somethign should be done yea, but also it is not like the PC's are allowed to know the tactical plans of the NPC's so why should the person playing the NPC's know the players tactical plans.

    When are rogues "really" necessary anymore? if at all...

    In the group I play with the only class I have found to not be benifical unless cross classed with something else is the fighter. The only way to make the fighter not get boring in this campaighn is to cross class him with something else. It is not that we aren't combat heavy in the games it...

    Which class is the most useless?

    While I somewhat agree if we are talking only core classes here he is kind of irreplaceable of you ask me. Yes he is essentially a fighter, but he is a fighter with a better list of class skills and can do more than a fighter in a non hack and slash game. If we go outside the core classes I...

    Which is better: Character death or item destruction?

    In any game I ever played in character death usually ment the loss of any items that character had. Now the party may keep that characters possesions but that does not mean the new character will be allowed use it.

    Moorcock blasts Tolkien

    I am not even gonna bother to read through this entire thread cause I am sure it is just going back forth. bottom line is a writer should write what he wants and if the reader likes it he should read it. This is like one person saying Godfather was the greatest movie ever and another person...

    Laptops at the table - Do you use them?

    I don't have a problem with DM's using one. In fact in one of my groups the DM's makes great use of his laptop not only for game mechanics and such but he also hooks it to his tv and stereo for music and to show pictures of NPC's and such. However as a player I wouldn't use one and as a DM...

    Would you use or allow average damage to speed up gameplay?

    A game I play in does this.. Instead of multiple attacks at higher levels when you gain extra BAB you get an extra d6 to damage for every 2 points of BAB you have above 5 I believe. So basically you get one attack (two if you have the appropriate feats) but you get a bonus to your damage to...

    Are half-races an essential option in D&D?

    Why does it seem that DM's always have something against half-races while many players prefer them. Half races give use a little bit more to work with upon creating our characters back story.
