I didn't happen to see the thread that Cradledrapture is refering to, so I can't speak of how just or injust and moderators actions may or may not have been. However, I can comment on a few other things that were mentioned... "censorship happy"??? Huh??? I've been a regular member for quite...

Got a map? Or is that part of what you want to create here as well? Very interesting... Looking forward to seeing how these get fleshed out. Do you mean literally made of thunder and lightning, or are you speaking more of their mannerisms and culture? How many limbs in total? 4 arms and 4...

I've used several different reasons over the years, many of which are commonly used rationales. In many cases, they're not even necessarily mutually opposing. Deific Competition: Different Gods make their own race, sort of as a mortal representative of themselves on the Material Plane. (hey...

Cool.. and I didn't even need to use a chalk circle, goat's blood or anything! :lol: Seriously though, since you are here, what do you think would have been different (if anything) about the style or tone of the adventures themselves, there has been some considerable speculation above about how...

Y'know who I'd like to see post in this thread? Col_Pladoh, that's who. :D I'd really be interested to know what *he* would think D&D would have turned out like. After all, I kinda suspect that his somewhat unique perspective might trump some of ours... :lol: Not that I'm holding my breath...

The way I see it you have two choices: Either knock them down or bring the rest up. Knock 'em down: For this approach I suggest giving them racial levels. After 2-3 levels of Gnoll, they attain their full monster stats and are equal (more or less) to the human who just gained 2-3 class levels...

Perhaps there would have been a much stronger romantic theme to the adventures and setting. More heavily influenced by children's fantasies like Mother Goose and The Brothers Grimm, whose stories combine supernatural, macabre and romantic elements. Perhaps "D & D" would be "Damsels & Dragons"...

Some type of non-vermin monsterous spider equivalent. Inspirational source: "Castle Roogna" by Piers Anthony Just the sheer alien aspect of their mind and body would be cool to explore in terns of a character personality. your body has an exoskeleton, your species lays eggs in great...

Hey everyone! Don't be dissing the youngin's on the Wiz boards, after all they're the future of D&D! Future material will be catering to their perpsectives, their knowledges, their preferred play styles... oh no... :confused: :(

While I don't technically disagree with the underlying premises put forth by rounser I think that the objections are being described in "worst case scenario" terms only. I guess it's easier to be "right" in this "argument" if it's stated that way, but I've yet to see a GM who is as deeply...

I always start with a core concept or premise. Something that will distinguish this world from any previous ones I've made or played in. Then, I start creating. Whether I start with a map, a list of races, the world history, the gods, or whatever really depends on the initial concept. If the...

Hey Shadowslayer and other player-berift lonely gamers, I have a somewhat quirky suggestion for you that may find (or create) some gamers for you. Take an old D20, hot glue a safety pin to it and then pin the die to your shirt front (a la tie pin style) or your jacket lapel. Yes, I know that...

This sounds like the best method to me rather than trying to come up with some sneaky "compatible with that popular spy rpg" pseudonym. A nice, uncomplicated direct route. I'd be surprised if AEG turned out to be opposed to it. After all, every other company that publishes a "Powered by...

As of last night I was all set to buy this book. Then, this morning on a whim I decided to read this thread. I'm also Canadian, now that I've realized that it suddenly becomes almost twice the price for me, it has become too expensive to justify... This is really sad cause I think that Ptolus...

Wow. Just, wow. I've been looking for a way to make Dwarves more earth-like and your version is the one I've been seeking. I'd love to see the rest of your campaign material!

By all means, feel free to disagree. I didn't mean to imply that I "know all" and am 100% correct. It's just my personal theory. I've known teenagers with considerable money to waste on "non-essential" persuits, but of course not all teenagers are alike in all places of the world. No doubt...

That's pretty much what the point of my mega-post was all about. My pet theory that as your average gamer ages, they either drop out of roleplaying alltogether, or they stick with what they are familar and comfortable with - letting the newer stuff slide on by to be bought up by the younger...

[begin mega-post] These two sentiments bring to light an interesting aspect of roleplaying in general which, while not specifically ruleset issues, do directly affect how the rules will evolve over time. Just who the customer is of any given "generation" of D&D is an important factor. While...

I'd like to know more about their society and racial abilities beyond the ones you've outlined thus far. For instance, just why are the Halfling men so terrified and obedient towards the women, and why do both genders portray the reverse in public?

I used that method once a few years ago in a game and it works better than you'd think! Granted, contructing the measuring string can be a bit tedious, but once prepared it is quite quick and easy to use. It also has the advantage of inately solving line of sight and cover issues... Now...
