Imperial for D&D, metric for Star Wars. Hell, I learned to convert between the two thanks to the Star Wars d6 RPG. And as a side note, I saw someone mentioned measuring long distances in Canada by time. We do that in the states, as well, primarily here in the less-populated Great Plains...

Green Ronin's Plot & Poison: A Guidebook to Drow contains a price chart for slaves of all sorts of races. hunter1828

Plot & Poison: A Guidebook to Drow by Green Ronin is a wonderful 3rd edition sourcebook that brings the drow back closer to their 1st edition origins, IMO. Great book. Damn great book. hunter1828

I was going to post a couple things, but very similar ideas to mine have already been posted, so I won't repeat them. I will say that I saw the original post over on the "other" boards, but I didn't respond there because I haven't said a word there in almost a month, since the threads turned...

That's the best FR drow origin synopsis I've read in a long time... hunter1828

Very good post. You're one of the very few people in this thread to state areas they feel Salvatore is either good or bad in. Most of us (myself included), whether detractor or supporter, have simply said, "Salvatore is good/bad" and given no real reason for why we say this. Personally, I...

Henry, You bring up very good points. The reason I brought up Salvatore's other works though, was simply because a lot of people, both supporters and detractors, sometimes seem to conclude that Salvatore has written nothing else in his carerr, or they seem to choose to ignore it. I also, of...

"Classic" and "Classic of [genre type here]" are two different things. And with American public schools the way they are today, I don't use anything taught in them as an indication of quality. hunter1828

Two things: 1) 1987 - I started a new campaign, a friend wanted to play a good drow, outcast from his family. He had unusual eyes (green) and wielded two longswords. The next year when the Crystal Shard was released we both felt ripped off. :D 2) I like Salvatore. A lot. I also find it...

My wife sure liked it! LOL hunter1828

The worst one I ever did was the "Dallas" method. It turned out to all have been a dream and the characters woke up as 1st-level again in a brand new campaign setting. That was almost 20 years ago...I was young and foolish. hunter1828

In addition to several of the choices in the poll I've used a variety of resources for villians. One of my best was a crime lord based on Keyser Soze from The Usual Suspects. hunter1828

I agree with a couple of others that the Marshall doesn't have to chatter constantly. I view it that he gives orders, like a sergeant in an army, and the orders are followed. hunter1828

Bingo! And every so often, just to keep the player's guessing, I roll a random die where they can't see it and say something like "uh oh"...it works wonders to keep them feeling that something bad could potentially happend at any moment! hunter1828

At that time I and the folks I gamed with were in a self-imposed D&D ban and were heavily involved in a four-year old Star Wars d6 campaign. I didn't start playing D&D again until early 2000. hunter1828

My current campaign is going on four years old. No PCs have yet died (highest level is 16, lowest is 12), though not from lack of trying. When the campaign began (with all new players that had never gamed before) I told everyone that I will pull a punch for each PC once. Everyone has now had...
