    Blue Ray or HD-DVD?

    I will probably get a Blu-Ray player (unless HD-DVD kills the format quickly, in which case I won't bother), but frankly I think that both formats are likely to be obsolete before long. Downloading films from the internet will be the way to go - Hard disks are relatively cheap and can store way...

    Gestalt: What to Fear as a GM

    Actually most templates can be bad for the DM. Particularly if you allow the buy-back rules from the U.A. Feral is good fun for players...

    Best Adventures of All Time

    I'd have to say The Night Below was probably the best adventure I ever played in.

    Question regarding "Wild" armor.

    I'm fairly sure that there was an armour enhancement that could be applied - resizing? shapeshifter? Something like that.

    Armour and Wings

    I've been playing a celestial-based character with wings. As a cleric I have armour proficency and have been wearing chain mail. We have just found some full plate armour and a discussion ensued on whether I'd be able use it. There doesn't seem to be any core rules on how armour fits - would it...

    "It's a joke name, sir."

    I once had a teacher with the unfortunate name of Wayne Kerr. His parents must have hated him...

    C.S. Friedman: Your Experience

    I've only read the coldfire trilogy, but I made the mistake of buying all three together. If I'd only bought the first one I certainly wouldn't have bothered struggling though it. It was very... unsatisfying I think is the best way to describe it.

    Who's from the UK?

    I'm Si. I live in what could be described as the posh end of Bristol. 32 years old and been R'ping for the past 15 years or so. Generally play DnD, but do occasionally slip into Call of Cuthulu, board games or murder mystery parties. I'm a (yawn) IT Consultant and when I'm not training...

    Dragons on.. Animal Planet?

    They showed this a couple of weeks ago in the UK. It was ok - the effects were pretty cool, but they weaved a really pants story around a scientific analysis on how a dragon could exist in the real world. At least the theory was plausible I suppose!

    "The bridge is destroyed! We're trapped!"

    Going on with the water theme - how about a flood... and the kids are just mucking about on home-made rafts.

    Best Player ideas

    I used to play with someone who did literal drawings of the jokes made at the gaming table. He would keep them as a record of the campaign. He had a disturbing idea of what a half-elf should look like... it was... messy...

    How did your favorite Campaign start out?

    Odd - this seems to be a bit of a theme - my favourite campaign started with the group waking up naked on a beach, with no memory of how or why we got there. It got stranger as we walked up the beach to find a small door in a tree with a pile of gear behind it...

    Which Monster Manual Monstah are you?

    Hobbit... but without the hairy feet or penchant for pipe-weed.

    Annoyed with City of the Spider Queen (SPOILERS)

    My players are admittedly somewhat munchkin, but they have been breezing through the Dordorien Crypts - There wasn't a single encounter there that even vaugely troubled them... mind you having a priest who can turn demons helped. They are also a level higher than recommended, but even if they...

    Whats your shortest lived character?

    I used to game with someone who was always extremely unlucky with dice rolls. He had just had his (2e) bladesinger die, when he completely failed to parry an attack from a giant. So he decides to come back in with a (6th level) paladin. After spending some time rolling up this character he rolls...

    Wheel of Time

    Let us hope so - cos absolutely nothing of any real consequence seems to have happened in book 10... It was dull - and that is from a HUGE fan of the series!

    spell casting for real - which one?

    It would have to be: Teleport (without error) Fly Invisibility Stoneskin (well - you never know) Charm person...

    It's good class, but nobody plays it!

    We are doing quite well - all of the classes have been played at one time or another, just nobody ever plays a single classed character! It has to be said that the Druid was pants - but that might be more because he was a pacifist and a multiclassed Cleric. The Barbarian rocks -...

    If there was one thing about 3rdE that you could change, what would it be?

    I think that the BAB thing should be worked out using a similar method to the skill checks.... "I've never used a warhammer before, but since I'm a 10th level fighter I get +10 to hit with it..."
