I warn my *players* at the start of any campaign (and whenever a new player joins) that NPCs want to survive. BBEGs want to live and be victorious. Minions want to climb the ranks of the BBEG's favor, which requires living. Monsters will use magic items they possess, to the degree their...

Okay, this poll appeared on the front page, and I answered. By the time I was able to read the opening post, my vote was registered. I said 6 months to 1 year. But that is "gaming time" meaning "real world". My in-game time to reach 10th level is usually about two or three years. My game...

I voted no. However, I wanted an option for "Other: Please explain". The only reason to add these items back into the game is if they also add mechancis that age you. Like you said in the first post, you've nevre had a campaign cover more than 20 years of game time. Aging is relatively...

I Voted Other I do not have planar-based campaigns, so if I have anything plane-related it is generally encounter-specific or part of an already published adventure. As such, I don't really use *any* planer rules sources. I pretty much just wing it.

I feel so much more relieved now that I have your permission. :uhoh:

I think all the non-human deities need voted off. In my world, there is only one pantheon of gods, although some of the gods have maintained "multiple persona's" for different groups of followers. For example, Heironeous is al-Akbar in my world. Nerull has revealed himself to many sentient...

Off with Vecna's Head It is time for Vecna to go. He should not be a god.

I voted for Lolth. She underwent a name change from Llolth to Lolth, detests her own worshippers, and killed my magic-user in the Queen of the DemonWeb Pits adventure when my AP history teacher was DM during a Spring Break class trip to Williamsburg, Virginia. Once she is gone, I'll vote for...

That's why we have a DM. One-dipping is deniable.

I do not use 3-d dungeon props. I use 2-d, flat paper maps with topdown view, and 2-D flat paper tokens with top-down view.

Merric, is it too late to add a "what are you talking about?" option? That way you can also see what percent of the ENWorld population even knows what these are.

Mine You scored as Character Player. The Character Player enjoys creating in-depth characters with distinct and rich personalities. He identifies closely with his characters, feeling detached from the game if he doesn’t. He takes creative pride in exploring different characters, often...

Just a poll construction note. Since you do not describe each answer offering, your results will be skewed as people guess whether to answer 1, 2 or 3 for "sometimes", etc. When making a poll, offer only clearly defined answers that are mutually exclusive in meaning.

Metagaming? What's with everyone saying they are metagaming in making a guess? What kind of "in-game" answer could you possibly be giving that would NOT be metagaming?

Okay. Plenty of votes. Nice bell curve. It is tomorrow. Now give us the answer!

Ditto. I answered Other because "All of the Above" was not offered. In my world, 'witch' would be: a general pejorative term used by the commonfolk to describe any woman they did not like; a specifically pejorative term for any woman practicing magic, whether arcane or divine. a value-less...

No it is not. The material under the license is perpetual. Material granted the status of open content cannot be deemed closed [u]under the license[/i]. This protects WotC from getting sued by a third part publisher should it choose to use the material an third party publisher created under...

I wouldn't be so confident that the 3.5 OGL will allow anyone to continue publishing 3.5 material after 4e comes out. The license is granted by WotC. It can be revoked. Or, more likely, updated to 4e material requirements instead.

My interpretation and thoughts The results in the short time this poll has been have led to a few general conclusions and questions. I think I'll start with the question. Those who chose 2010... How many would have instead chosen 2009 if that was the last year listed? How many would have...

We all know there will be a 4th edition. Exactly what that 4th edition will be is, and will continue to be, a matter of discussion, debate and speculation, until it is released, at which point it will be a matter of discussion, debate and condemnation. A question that comes up in the...
