Hi Utrecht, I agree that it would be out of place for you to tell the player of the orc barbarian how to run his character. But for the elf cleric, well, I think that is one area where not only is it ok, but you should feel obligated to direct his character somewhat. One of the "costs" of...

I have bought quite a few d20 modules (as well as subscribing to Dungeon), but I have yet to run any of them. My homebrew campaign is so tailored to the overall plot line and the individual characters themselves that any premade module I used would have to be modified extensively. Not that that...

In the FR campaign I am playing in right now, we started with a very large group of characters. We started at 1st level, and we were free to choose any FR race. Three people chose races with an ECL adjustment - 2 aasimars and a deep gnome. The DM gave us 2 choices, either start at 1st level and...

I picked up a copy of the Dune RPG book at GenCon 2000 (? was it 2000? my memory fails...). I didn't know anything at all about the game when I bought the rulebook, and it wasn't d20, but Dune has always been one of my favorite books/stories since I first read it as a wee lad. I was less than...

gubaru beat me to the punch on suggesting you check out the Yahoo Group for much more discussion on this issue. Confrontation - expensive? yes. awesome figures? also yes, although their line is pretty hit or miss for my tastes. don't care for the orcs, goblins, dwarfs, and many of the humans...

I couldn't sympathize more. It's been a long, painful process getting my fellow gamers to respect the minis properly... although, truth be told, most of the pain has been on my end of it all, not too mention a couple of my poor minis that have been battered severely. The regulars have slowly...

I chose Greco-Roman, Norse and Egyptian. The gap between these three and the others is not even close for me. Looking forward to seeing them all statted up for 3e in the near future, whether it's D&Dg or IH.

ummm... right, so where's the problem? I pretty much am in agreements with all the responses so far... but in browsing through the threads for months and today the ELH thread, there seems to be constant complaints about "munchkin" and "powergaming" players potentially exploiting certain rules...

Re: Norton brought up a virus warning about it same here. always make sure your antivirus software is updated folks! happy surfing!

I was just reading through the ELH/Rolemaster thread, and saw yet again a concept brought up that has always made me curious - allowing players to bring their existing character from someone else's campaign into your own campaign. Is this common? Do most DMs find themselves confronted with this...

Never played much beyond lower teens back in 1e/2e. I voted 9-14, but haven't played much above that so I may be inclined to move that range upwards as we progress in our 3e campaigns. The campaign I've been running for about a year and a half has the PCs around 9-11th level right now, but I'm...

I cast my vote for Armor Proficiency, but could easily have cast votes as well for Run, Endurance, Toughness and probably Deflect Arrows as well. Armor Proficiency should be picked up by multiclassing if a PC needs to wear that armor. Run and Endurance just seem too infrequently useful during...

Hi Archmage, A couple questions about this ranger version. I'm not sure when I'll be able to get a PC to run it, so I'm going to put one in my campaign as an evil NPC. In planning it out in my head, a couple questions came up: 1 - Favored Enemy. Ok, say the evil Ranger 10 is battling the group...

Hi EOL, Can you give an example here; I'm not quite clear how you mean this to work. Thanks.

Here's what one of my players had to say when I sent out an email announcing that we would be using this skill in my campaign henceforth: "If you had an appropriate sister knowledge (Planes, 5ranks) would you get a synergy bonus on this skill when using against Outsiders or would the multiplier...

Hey EOL, I like this. I've had an unofficial Monster Knowledge skill in my game for a long time, but we never really decided on a specific mechanic for its use so it hasn't been used much. I'm going to implement this system in my campaign and see how it goes. Thanks.

Hey U_K, I'd be happy to add Wayne's site to my list; just didn't know he had an official web site. Still not sure, actually. I just did a Google search and came up with this: http://www.onlinegamescompany.com/war/ Any idea if this is his "official" site? Do you know of another one for his...

Hey U_K, I'm not nearly as adept with the replying with quote feature of the boards as you obviously are; hopefully I can just reply to a couple of your points in order and you'll figure it out. :) Battlechasers - aye. I'm not much of a comic fan any longer, but I loved that comic. I...
