I think the PCs should abide by the luck of the dice. If there is a situation where the DM has made a gross mistake, then the DM should at least be *subtle* about it. Being asked how many hit points you have not only alerts the player to your bumbling, but it also makes the player feel like...

Thanks :)

I'm trying to track down all the previous LG Journals and was wondering if anyone could provide me with a comprehensive list of which issues of Dragon/Dungeon they appeared in. So far, I own Issue 0 which appeared in Dragon #274. I understand that some early issues were only available through...

Now I know why in 3E my players knit-pick at my decisions and bully me into submission. They have the power!!! It all makes sense. I've been disempowered by 3E design logic. The question, now, is: How does a DM reattain his power but still play 3E? Is it possible? (Maybe I'm a weak spined...

Did the good doctor die or disappear? Isn't their a boxed-set adventure that recounts his death/disappearance. Bleak House or something I think it's called . . . Who does the good doctor in? Where does Van Ritchen come from? Is he a RL native or does he come from somewhere like 1890s Earth...

Dear Gary: A hypothetical situation Dear Gary, If you won a million, trillion, squillion dollars and purchasing back the rights to D&D was just a drop in the ocean, would you: a) Not even bother buying back the rights for D&D. That's behind you now. You would use all your money to promote and...

I had blue orcs in my FR campaign waaaaay before the blue goblins of the Psionic Handbook ;) . They were an "evolved" orc from another world. I called them Hoch-Euroz, meaning "High-Orc" and they followed all the stats of a half-orc.

My Ral Patha paint only has one Human Flesh Color. It is a light shade of pinky cream.

Actually, I do remember a different format TSR (2nd Ed. era) tried . . . The Dark Sun modules with those wire-bound notepad style adventures. You'd get one for the DM and one for the players with just illustrations on 'em. It was interesting, but I prefer book format.

Sorry. How do I edit the poll to allow multiple choice?

D&D goblins are red, I think. In Warhammer, gobs and orcs share the same green skin. In LotRs, what color are gobs and orcs? (Grey-green like in the films?) Was the old D&D orc pink-skinned? (And had a piggy snout for sniffing out truffles?)

That strikes an old wound. ;) I'm not just thinking of this situation, though. I'm thinking of other situations in general. Because, in the past, I've had a lot of my friends start campaigns but they don't sustain them long. I like long continuous campaigns where the world and the characters...

If you have a DM who starts new campaigns all the time because he/she gets "bored" of the current campaign how do you stop him/her? I've got a DM who wants to start a new campaign but we've barely played the current one. When I roll up a PC I want to develop his character and play him to Epic...

I wasn't too keen on the format because I have a fondness for books and also I found the individual pages would dog-ear and tear at the holes in the binder. I'm glad they later came out with the Monstrous Manual tome. Nevertheless, I've kept my Monstrous Compendium and all the Appendicies...

I played 1st edition for about 1 year and then 2nd edition came out. I loved the 2nd edition! I founded it easier to use and the books were much more user-friendly. The only down-side I noticed was that the sourcebooks and adventures they started to release were not hard-edge and serious like...

This is the end? Thank you Everyone for your help. :) Discussing this has helped me come to terms with my problem and I am now at peace. I can move on. The problem is, now the DM is going to end the *whole* campaign. He wants to start a new one that is heroic and the PCs are good. He thinks...

He's made those comments but they never happened within the game. I would never validate them in the story/campaign. If he is serious about doing these things, then I'd tell him: "OK. But you have to hand over your character. It's now permanently an NPC . . . an *insane* NPC". In the examples...

I'm going to do just that! I'm happy to try something different. I'm happy to roll up a PC who worships Tzeentch and likes to have schemes and secrets that the other PCs don't know about. The DM (Rimple) says he wants to end the campaign completely now. I said: "No Way!!!! I'm not having the...

He meant Warhammer 1st Edition.

Maybe you've struck on a horrible truth. :uhoh:
