Yeah, I miss the innocent days of gaming too, when a company could sell darned near anything and make a profit. The biggest difference between product now and then is our own experience. Most of the responders to this board shave been playing for more than 4 years; Some have played D&D for 25...

There was a previous thread concerning this issue. For the quality of work that is being published at the current prices, I hold off. I use the core set of books and still use my 2E stuff. I can be a bit of an impulse buyer, so, some of the higher prices keep me away. If a product was priced...

It is wholely possible to run a game with just the Players Handbook, DMG, and MM. They are 'core' after all. The other resources are just 'fluff' that can be added if things get repeditive and maybe spice things up.

I would have to say it would depend on how deep a person is. If a person is only 6 inches to a foot or so underwater, arrows and crossbow bolts and thrown spears would still get to them. I would probably apply a concealment bonus to them due to light refraction. Deeper down, probably start...

I have a two experiences where pregens were handed out. The first one happened when I first started playing, so it was not much of a big deal. It was still loads of fun. The second, and more recent one was a few years ago. No one really complained, the DM explained part of the backstory and...

How does one 'automatically detect' a spell as it is being cast? So, if the DM says: From out of the mists, you see a man in a dark hooded cloak. you are unable to discern any features other than it is of humanoid appearance, standing somewhere between 5ft and 5.5ft. Looks to be 130-140...

I would have to say ENWORLD has a sizable community. It would seem that the level of experience ranges from Publishers to people who have been playing for 20+ years to someone who started two weeks ago. I am sure people scan some of these posts without joining or providing their two cents...

I picked it up late in high school, around junior year. I used to think the people played those things were wierdos. Then I became one. It is just a good way to have some fun with friends, a nice way to block out reality for a few hours and have fun. I used to like the variety of games, the...

1. Why don't you buy the magazine? 2. What sort of changes would make you more likely to give it another look? I actually had a subscription for a while. Think it was for about 3 years or so, been a while. I think it started with issue 167, might have been a little over, not sure, I remember...

Like most people, the only thing I remember was them ripping the head off of a toy animal. It was soooo long ago. But going to those links, it looks like it was HORRIBLE to the extreme. I mean, were the producers on drugs when they thought it up. Sorry, George, it is all yours. But...

All in all, I thought they were good movies. Sure they were a little on the long side, but the time went by fast, so I knew I was enjoying myself. Must admit, never could get into the books, tried a few times, but it was murder. I actually knew what the story was about from reading here and...

Just do what I do, go to the 'creature catalogue' that has suited me well so far, and for some other things there is a section in a section somewhere in here in that has a few homebrew threads that has conversions.

Thanks for the clarification on that for firing into a melee. I would have to call it more of cover vice concealment, however. As concealment would imply something like a bush or something where that person was hidden and could still be hurt. I just find it interesting on how if it is a large...

AAAAH, ok, thank you for that. I knew it was something along those lines but could not remember.

Maybe there has already been a thread like this, but what are the effects of shooting an arrow into a melee? I am away from my books over here, and am rather curious as to see the 'official' statement, and what some other people have to say. Such as, If 'A' is shooting at 'C' and 'B' is in the...

Well, the dm decided that since the door was reinforced, that the lightning bolt basically hit the door, made a nice char mark on it and bounced back toward the caster. It brought him to -8, or so, if i recall.

I have seen a few 'interesting' choices on the part of the players. I have witnessed a mage try destory a door in dungeon environment with a lightning bolt. lightning bolt on reinforced door = crispy pile of mage. To this day, I had no idea what that guy was thinking. Most of the funny...

In my gaming time, I have only known really two women who played, and a possible third. Of them, they were all SO. The first is the 'possible' one. only met her and her boyfriend once. A friend in high school introduced me to them. We actually played Magic there. It was during that Magic...

I am work right now, and I know if I forget to post now, I wont remember when I get home, so here it goes. Anyone remember a list of undead from somewhere around 170-200? For the life of me, I cannot remember the article. But it detailed a few different types of undead, one was something to...

Religion, alignment, they are USUALLY one of the same. Are they always, maybe not, but for the most part, they are. If a character follows a CG religion, odds are that character will be CG. I paladin needs to follow a religion, at least the LG one, to receive the spells, and other benefits...
