What everyone seems to leave out of this whole conversation is how easy it is to foil Scrying and to foil Teleport. Scrying: Wear a disguise or a mask or a full-face helmet. Don't announce your name or title and don't use any identifying markings or insignia. Or you could use magic...

Ooooooh....dealbreaker. Not helping things here. I guess all the resurrectionists put a gun to your head to make you run your D&D just like theirs, eh? Not to mention the fallacy that LotR and D&D are in anywhere near the same subgenre of fantasy.

So...you are complaining that a PC that become infected with vampirism is unplayable as a PC? I have to say that I don't have a problem with this. IMO, Vampires are evil, horrible creatures of the night that prey on the innocent and the upright and are known to ally themselves with the...

Thank you! I don't see the objection to 22 sharks stupid at all, people don't think of sharks as social animals, but lone predators.

Hey, then it's a good thing we live so far apart.

I guess you might enjoy a film with all the plot of a pornographic movie without [enough of] the pornography, but I didn't. A game of that movie...even less.

It's a fantastic idea--if they go with what you're guessing. If they don't...

Wait. Wait. Wait. Wait. There's a WARHORSE mini?!? Explain how the :):):):) that's supposed to be worth the money. Either I'm ON the warhorse, which, using other WOTC minis, is impossible to arrange without glue. Or I'm not on the horse, and I can use a square of paper for the horse. What...

The authors of the book Listen Up You Primitive Screwheads for Cyberpunk would be appalled at attitude of the OP, his not putting the burden of proof on the player.

[This is going to sound like something out of Warhammer...] If they are evil enough to merit killing in combat, why should they be allowed to flee and perform more evil deeds? How is allowing murderers, cultists or evil wizards to continue their horrible work a virtue? You're thinking of L...

Instant death? Only a few places. Most of the time it's not nearly so harsh. Detect Magic at will for 9th level characters is serious divination magic? Augury, sure. That's a good idea. Wand of augury, there you go. Not too heavy a cost. Divination or Commune would certainly be helpful to...

Elf conjurer looks like he's staring off into space. The merchant guard looks like he's modeling for a statue.

This is blatantly impossible with Teleport. Of course he's teleporting to the room the rug is in, you have to know the location of the destination. Without knowing where the rug is, it's impossible. I have no idea how you could possibly draw the conclusion that this is possible from the spell...

Maybe it's Gremlins, vague ideas of Warhammer goblins, and The Darkness comic's Darklings, but those Sahuagin seem evil to me. More of a "Beavis and Butthead" stupid, crude kind of evil, but evil nonetheless.

The spell mentions no such restrictions or anything one might extrapolate that from, although that would allow for some visually dramatic scenery.

Copy and paste that. I want my D&D fantasy, and I want it to be exactly the same as 3.5 with 3.0 spells and magic item prices but better put together. Mostly, I just want people to stop telling everyone their sick, twisted, venal desires for 4e that conflict with what I want. Sorry, wrong...

Very simple, very important precaution: Don't sleep alone. A barracks-style sleeping arrangement, with, say 30 people sleeping in one room is enough to discourage people from sneaking or teleporting in and starting to kill your cult, mercenaries, thieves or whatever with impunity. But the...

I have in the past run modules 100% as written, or as close as I can get. This includes both Call of Cthulhu and D&D. D&D 1e modules aren't too hard to convert, but converting the BRP modules to GURPS was very annoying. Add this to the fact that I simply don't like the attitude of the...

No, you run the ToH to teach your players a lesson in not being stupid. It's a Darwinian winnowing kind of thing. I certainly wouldn't run ToH for the same group twice, there's no point. Like I said, the adventure is more prone to death from bad luck or stupidity. Heh? They've played it...

These two things, they don't usually go together, Senor.
