Discovery channel: Top Gear- this is all about fast or cool or odd cars. and sometimes the cool things brits choose to do with them to make the audience go wow!! You must be nuts.

Cool thanks a bunch Caliban!!

Help. I need a quick pointer to the rule that explains the condition "sickened." The stuff that ghouls do and the Ghoul touch spell. I must be blind but I can't find it. Thanks in advance. - Turhan

Dennis McKiernan's Iron Tower trilogy. Be sure to read the appendices. I've only recently didscovered GG Kay (Baudolino) but it is clear I need to read more of his work. It's nice to get away from teh formulaic fantasy that normally sucks me in.

Ooppsss I clicked what is, instead of I own 4th ed the book. I liked playing the magic system in a dnd world. worked fine. Of course the DM knew the system pretty well and he adjudicated stuff on the fly pretty well. Never did play the game as it was intended....

I don't know what a toon is, sorry.

Slightly Off Topic: A great read is Peter Beagle's "The Innkeeper's Song." First rate fantasy, but so little known, I think, that it can't rise to the status of Classic. Try it you'll like it. Also, Try "Baudolino" by Umberto Ecco. A bit different, but tasty.

I think the dwarves are the least masculine since they all look like dwarven women. If you won't buy that, Then I vote for the Amazons. They aren't terribly masculine at all.

I forgot to mention an odd duck. It was actually first printed in 1949, so kind of old, but it goes out of print and gets reporinted from time to time. My copy is from 1996. Silverlock. by John Myers Myers. It has so many classical lit references and characters and events merged across who...

I have to put my first choice as Dennis McKiernan's Mithgar cycle. When I picked it up I was sort of cold on fantasy in general, except Tolkien which I still read often, but with the Iron Tower trilogy I was fired back up. Some would say it is too much like Tolkien and Terry Brooks' books so...

I just started playing last week. A buddy did some beta on it and loved it lots. I never liked EQ after the first week and found Diablo so-so, but Guild Wars is different. I like it. I play with three other buddies from my dnd group and never bother with strangers in the towns. That's just my...

For my current campaign we have a couple good ones: The Pigeon and Pie, and The Widgeon and Wickett (which has a croquet lawn/pitch/flat/yard right next to it). Down the road is the Black Ram and the Blarney House. In the past I used a Green Dolphin, and the other DM has a tavern called the...

I expect them to think, but I know that after a long week of work, sometimes they just want to start a bar fight or slay some monsters. I suppose I'm in the same boat as Wombat: Ask them to think about the situation, but don't focus on the rules. The rules just help resolve the consequences of...

Good morning, Hey Elf Witch and Wormwood- either of you'd be welcome in our group, though the commute to Alaska is a bit long.... We are having a small issue with one player telling another how to play his character, but we all see the problem, and know how to fix it (just apologize and start...

I've pounded on rock with picks and such before, but never mined. It is very hard and slow work. Soft rock would be entirely different- think of sandstone or limestone for soft. Without cracks in the rock you need to find ways to fracture it, and that took me a chisel and hammer and a lot of...

Great work! You've just earned another convert. I love this stuff. Keep it up.

My last two campaigns have had moments like yours. Quickleaf has pretty well covered my answers, but I can add this. Sometimes when you really want to get a bit of info out, you have to bend your reasoning to make it fit the circumstances the PCs are in. Make up some new way for the info to...

On the surface 100th level seems nearly absurd. I can't imagine such a game. But I think if someone could come up with an interesting idea for the game, figure out what 100th level means, and then explain it to me, I would be willing to try it once. I generally prefer campaigns of 6th-16th...

In 1991, at the age of 33 I was introduced to DnD by a friend who said the game would only take 30 minutes to learn, but would provide a lifetime of entertainment. The game was his homebrew that he started in 1977 or 78. My first DM job was a little 'bridge' piece in his world that I intended...

I see a lot of people in this thread have played in the FR and some of you sound to be very knowledgeable. I’m considering moving my home brew campaign away from my world and into the FR or Ebberon. I’ve played the many FR computer games (still play Neverwinter Nights), and read maybe 30-35 of...
