    How "out" are you?

    i voted incorrectly, i don't even keep my books at home so my roomate's girlfriend will not see them. i didn't think hard enough about the lengths i go to to stop the "normals" from finding out how huge of a geek i am. though if someone finds a book and is all like "you play dnd?" and they give...

    Forgotten Realms Cast

    bruce cambell and christopher walken on the same show? my brain is about to pop just thinking about that one. imagine any scene where the two both had dialogue? i'm shivering wesley snipes is to tall for drizzt, i say Jet li. i would cast Tim Roth as Artemis Entreri with Ray Park as his stunt man.

    Why is Dragonlance Your Least Favorite Setting?

    to jasper well put. i have simply read to many posts where W&H are accused of ripping off stuff that was published after chronicles. as for the unoriginal character concepts, all an author can do is try to take the tired concepts and give them a little twist to make them their own. I think W&H...

    Why is Dragonlance Your Least Favorite Setting?

    um, jasper, could you please give me some signifigant examples of how the characters in chronicles are unoriginal? remember that they were written in the early eighties so alot of the stuff that you have read or heard of with similar characters is ripping off chronicles not the other way around...

    Vanilla Realms and Strawberry Fields

    it's just another case of people not wanting to be seen as sheep. heaven forbid they actually like something popular. just like the guy in high school who claimed not to like music because it was to commercial. i hate things because they suck, not because other people have chosen them as their...

    forgotten realms getting sold?????

    FR is the cash cow, they will not sell it unless that changes. they just are not likley to put out much background stuff for it unless that starts selling better. apparently making some money is not good enough for them, they have to make insane money from every book or they will quit making...

    Dark Sun

    to a bean counter darksun = quirky and strange. they don't like that, not realising that the target market for a rpg is quirky and strange people. i loved the gladiator stuff and the new races (woo! to free pdf's) though psionic wild talents kind of got overused in my 2e campaign and every...

    Originality

    i think that wizards of the coast do not want originality. if they get 5000 "demons attack" or "ninjaworld" settings, you bet they are going to make one the winner. it will be one of the better ones of it's group but it will still be terribly unoriginal. though i must ask, what "demons attack"...

    [YAELHT*] What are you going to do with the ELH?

    i'm going to use it as inspiration to keep myself from going to my local gaming store and wasting more money on WotC's "books that contradict things we have previously stated written by people who used to work for the creative people who do not want to work here anymore" line of dnd products...

    Why the ELH didn't do it for me...

    i liked the magic (casters and a few of the items) and the monsters. nice before nasty as my mother allways said. now for the ranting and the yelling and the hey hey. if you are not a caster, this book screws you. fighters lose their major class feature. ask any gamer what defines a fighter and...

    yup, i like drizzt because without him, my 2 favorite dwarves would never have existed. and my favorite realms assassin never would have seen print. elminster. his hat was cool. i miss it. a powerful force of good who has seen horrible things and yet has not been jaded by them. why does he not...

    The Crunch vs. Fluff poll

    if the fluff is good i like it, if the crunch is good i like that too. most books only have one or the other worth mentioning. the class splatbooks should not even have bothered with their feeble attempts at fluff. they should have stayed crunchy, not even trying to please everyone, then there...

    Books you DO like.

    oriental adventures. i love everything in this book despite the fact that i never have and probably never will play rogukan. tome and blood. so much useful stuff for the casters that i find it hard to get specific, the prc's are excellent. once you complete spellsword, there is no warrior you...

    Why is Dragonlance Your Least Favorite Setting?

    speaking on behalf of the dragonlance fanboys, well put. that was the one good thing about fifth age dragonlance. there were no heroes saving the world. sure you had some powerful npc's in the world but they were not going to get the job done. post war of souls seems to be set up in a more...

    Why all the rage? (semi-longish rant)

    i just am not happy unless i have something to complain about. alot of people just like to pick on the big company with the huge bankroll, they think it makes them rebels.

    Am I too funny to Dm?

    your players really seem to not like the game you are giving them. if that's the case there was nothing you could do from the start. when dm and player have conflicting ideas about what makes a good game, it's done before it starts. alot of players can't handle a freeform style of play (i crave...

    Gaming catchphrases, expressions, and idioms--what are yours?

    a character of mine had been put in charge of the law enforcement of a city. of course the first thing he did was to make the party members special "constables" giving them the power to act as he would. the halfling rogue constantly refered to his job as "constabulating" or "constabulation" and...
