I think all religions should have a holy warrior. These warriors are the ones on whom quests will fall upon. The cleric is a foot soldier, if you will, in the hierarchy of the church. It is the holy warrior who is part of an Elite corps of individuals. Now, mostly in DND, and other games, the...

I think I gotta agree with just converting the 2E stuff to 3E or 3.5. I have always loved the planes. There have been some really nice things put out there. I know in my homebrew setting, I have altered bits and pieces here and there. Would putting those products out there really be justice...

GURPS is a good game, love the simplicity and how detailed it can be.

how about the DRAGONLANCE boardgame? if they still make it, that is. If not, just go for the old standby of AXIS AND ALLIES, not quite fantasy, but hey.

As much as I like rogues, I really do think that a party could do without them. It might make certain situations a bit more dangerous but it could still be done. They are a very useful overall class. But for having others detect and overcome traps, it is the thief. Yes, you can have the...

Granted, I will admit I only skimmed through portions of some of the posts, but I imagine that thieves or rogues whatever they are called now, could be run like a mafia family. Some of those mafia families are pretty wealthy, maybe not necessarily in actual wealth at hand but at potential...

What makes DND? well, that is pretty easy for me. To me, DND is a HEROIC fantasy game. It is a 'feel good' game system. A game system where the players can do 'Heroic' things, like save the princess and take on dragons. Other game systems throw other things in the loop that set them apart...

The butterfly effect, used to describe many chaotic phenomena, was first described as such in reference to weather: that the beating of a butterfly's wings in Brazil might set off a tornado in Texas months later1. Chaos theory posits that complex systems such as the weather, or the stock market...

As far as the Heal skill goes, I use a throw back to the days of 2nd ed (EECK!) and took Herbalism, I know it is listed as a profession. If you take them both, put 5 ranks in heal and at least one in herbalism, you can 'heal', dam for 1d3 for a DC of 15, in addition to what heal says in its...

RING OF WINTER for the life of me, i cant remember who wrote it, but it was in the jungles of chult, had a nice villian, and was sorta like INDIANA JONES.

probably not. I also use a fumble system for skills, actually some of my players started it. When one of them rolled a one on heal, it was kinda funny, they were like "Oh, man, you just messed him up! How much damage did he do?" I was a little taken back, so I rolled a d6, and divided by 2...

-Artus Cimber, from the ring of winter, a FR book. It was an Indiana Jones type of story to it. -Jaraxle, a mercenary from RA Salvatores books, as I am sure most people know. -BIGWIG from WATERSHIP DOWN. There is one scene that sticks out in my memory five years after reading it. The scene...

I find the -10 to be interesting. I would have to go against the take 10 or take 20. If you don't know it, you don't know it. You can sit there all day long and not get any better. I think the take 10, take 20 if trying to say that if you know your lockpick skill, you can sit there and think...

I was in SD for 2 years, and could not find a soul who gamed. Just me and a buddy. I tried to contact a few people here, got A response once. Now, that I am gone from SD, people are popping up out of the woodwork, what gives?!?!?! :confused: (oh, wait, I fogot about that group that lived 30...

well, I doubt you would want to go to Hell and deal with him by attacking him on his home plane, even epic lvl that would not be wise. Summoning him would be tough, as you would need to know some certain info about him, them devils can be tricky lot and tend to keep such info to themselves...

I guess, I, like most people out here, do a mix of my own place and add in elements that I like from campaign settings. I have a healthy amount of 2nd ed FR stuff and I have found it can be very useful to get ideas, places, and the like from some of the lesser known locations. That is one...

Or just not buy it in the first place. Like I said, I never got it. IF it was $10, it would have been an impulse buy, and it would be sitting on my shelf. (the part about drinks, or you can just swap, a meal in town, or a few dvd rentals, or a movie a week for a month IS the justification for...

I think prices are a little on the steep side. Just my humble little opinion. (I see the justification of looking at spending $30 as a few drinks at the local bar, sure, I can look at it that way. But, when I get a Guinness, I know it will be QUALITY, it will be good and filling. When I...

I think it depends on the person. Some really get into that aspect of developing a character, while others just want to hack and kill. I think most fit in a happy medium. Overall, having a background, hopefully by the player, will get that character a little bit closer to the player.

I see role playing as a game, a way to interact with other people and most of all have fun. Crits, can often be the highlight of a battle. How often has a battle been going against the PCs to have them bloody, bruised and battered, then suddenly that player who is playing a Dwarven fighter...
