    Will I like Dragonlance books?

    Bah to Bakkar! wow, I read Bakkar because of a recomendation and honestly, while he has a lot of good ideas, I found his characters to be navel gazers of the worst sort. All they do is have the same arguements over and over again and move the plot forward once every hundred pages. I'm halfway...

    What the hell happened? RHoD (spoilers)

    Well, in our group, being immoral nongood guys that they are, they made a deal with him rather than fight him. I prepare him for combat since there was always the possibility of the deal going bad. It was a little illegal but thems the breaks :) I didn't have the book the Blighter was in so I...

    Altering Exp to Demonweb for sevants of Grazz't

    The next adventure I want to run is Expedition to the Demonweb pits. The group is relatively mercenary with one CE member of the party (no one knows it due to awesome RP) who just happens to have sold his soul to Grazz't. I want to use him as a major part of the adventure, although it seems...

    Deck of Many things: Your best and worst moments

    So I picked up the actual deck of many things in gaming store as a capstone for the end of the upcoming adventure and I want to hear people's fondest and least fond memories. I'll start: I'm fifteen and playing a duel Katana wielding fighter/bard with kit that made me an expert at weapon...

    A grab of of Questions...

    I don't have either the 3.0 or 3.5 manul of the planes. I was just going by what I remembered from my first and second ed days and from what I recalled, the demiplane of shadows was in the ethereal plane and had not connection to the outer planes. I wasn't sure. Which is why I was asking.

    Will the Magic System be shown the door?

    I was just thinking that a nice addition to any new magic system would be some kind of magical sense that pinged when others used magic withing a certain distance of you, with more powerful magic being much more identifable. How many fantasy novels have we all read where the mighty wizard...

    Too powerful? What am I missing... (please help)

    I have never found Psionics to be broken in any way. My Philosophy is that whatever a player can do a DM can do better. If Wilders are so good, why haven't they run into any on the opposing side? Turn a few wizards and sorcerers into equivelent psions and wilders. It isn't about altering the...

    A grab of of Questions...

    I find Invisibility hard to adjudicate sometimes. I mean, the book gives the example of cutting a rope that someone is climbing up NOT breaking Invis. How is Suggesting that your party members are untrustworthy and stealing from you equally not as violent? In my game I ruled that it has to be...

    Will the Magic System be shown the door?

    I happen to like the Vancian System. I play almost spellcasters almost exclusively and I love the resouce managemant nature of spells. My last two characters were a Tiefling Transmuter and a Arcane Hierophant specialized in conjuring magic (I jokingly refered to him as my green deck) and I...

    A grab of of Questions...

    these are the various questions that have come up in the last few gaming sessions 1. Does Charm Person/Monster, Suggesstion, or Dominate person count as offensive actions for the purpose of dispelling invisibility? 2. If you are invisible and you are grappled, does breaking a grapple count...

    D&D 4E What Should 4e magic be like?

    Creepy magic I don't think that the style of magic I mentioned necessarily has to be low magic or dangerous magic. Magic in Exalted is powerful, prevalent, and completely creepy. Magic in Lord of the Rings was creepy. I think it should be a little flashier than the magic in Robert Howard...

    My Hit Point and Dying Rules, are they too easy?

    Honestly, I'm just trying to figure out if other people do similar things. I've been playing with the same group of people for the better part of my life--15 years or so and sometimes I feel like I game in a bubble since, outside of cons, I get no experience with playing with people other than...

    D&D 4E What Should 4e magic be like?

    I just wish magic was creepier and more atmospheric. All too often, magic is just too video game-y. I think it has become that way to help new people get into the game but I think magic loses something when it becomes a numbers game. I wish magic had the same feel it does in the stories of...

    My Hit Point and Dying Rules, are they too easy?

    My Group is going through the Red hand of Doom. They are below the average party level required for the module, but there are 8 of them so I figured what the heck. So the group gets into a dangerous fight and one character dies and most drop to near death levels. I realized later that the only...

    The Last Mimsy

    Wow! People actually liked the last mimzy I hated the movie. It wanted to be ET and failed on every level. The government was incompetent instead of scary. The kids seemed confused by their growing abilities when they shouldn't have been. The Teacher and his hippie wife were utterly...

    2 Q's: Skills and Feats Magic System and...

    Thanks for the replies. I had forgotten about grafts. I may have to pick up lords of madness after all. As for True Sorcery and elements of magic? Those are a little too magical for me. I want something a little more tame and low key.

    2 Q's: Skills and Feats Magic System and...

    I have two questions. first off, does anyone know of any good skills and feats magic system, one along the lines of Star wars or the Ken Hood Psionics ,that I might be able to combine with StarWars or Ken Hoods to create a comprehensive mystical skills and feats system? My second question is...

    Point buy

    No one has mentioned what I use so here it is: Roll 4d6 reroll ones drop the lowest. It was what we used back in second ed days to get characters of suitably epic character for our game. We used it for our first 3ed game when it first came out and yeah, our characters were powerful, but it...

    Drow War: Are they any good?

    I'm thinking about picking up the three drow war books from Mongoose. I like the idea behind taking the characters from first to thirtieth level. Question is, are they any good? Particularly the higher and epic level adventures? Whats the consensus?
