    Design & Dev: Monsters (DRAGONS!)

    Well that article goes a long way towards making me feel optimistic about 4e :)

    D&D 4E 4e Legends & Lore: Stats for Gods or ?

    I voted yes, but on the provision that the new Deities & Demigods/Legends & Lore book were to follow the 2e FR Faiths & Avatars model.

    No more Star Wars RPG - It's Official

    Well, this is certainly disappointing news; but not unexpected. Ah well... the system is kinda clunky anyways... I ended up rewriting nearly the entire system by the time we took a break from SW to play Iron Heroes anyways... Hopefully, things will work out so someone else can take the license...

    What's the Most Asinine Character Idea/Concept You've Dealt With?

    A couple more popped into mind.... One guy played some sort of mutant dwarf, named Ani, that was mystically spliced with a silverback gorilla. (This was back in 2e, waaay before templates and whatnot.) And I mainly just heard stories about a guy who had left my old high school group before I...

    What's your favourite "Forgotten Realms" place?

    Since you asked for a "favorite", my vote went to the Silver Marches. Although, I enjoy campaigns set along the Dragon Coast quite a bit as well.

    What's the Most Asinine Character Idea/Concept You've Dealt With?

    Well, lets see a couple pop into mind.... one guy played a mute bard... same guy played a "half-nymph aasimar" prostitute who did "favors" for NPCs to manipulate them... Another guy played a fighter who had "his" father's sword. Said sword was supposed to be a holy item of Mielikki, but the...

    Castle Maure - Not All That

    I came to a similar conclusion when I started to consider working Castle Maure into one of my ongoing campaigns. While a "classic" dungeoncrawl can be fun, I usually like for things to make a bit more sense overall. So I ended up just using the background material (modified to fit the campaign...

    Anyone not like PDFs?

    While I appreciate the resource and utility of pdfs... I *really* hate trying to read long documents off a computer screen. I never really get the complete "feel" from the book until its in my hands and I can spend time flipping through it; if you know what I mean.

    Roleplaying female NPCs (DM's)

    Crothian: LMAO! :lol: Romantic situations in game can get a little weird sometimes. Usually, things end up getting a little glossed over after a certain point; the conversations and whatnot just being left to the imagination. (Unless of course its a solo game with my wife... THATS an...

    Fane of the Drow: Buying?

    I picked it up a couple of days ago. The maps are very nice for DDM skirmishes, but the adventure stuff is a little bit "eh". If you play DDM its worth picking up just for the maps though. This definitely has me looking forward to future releases like Hellspike Prison.

    Genasi as template

    Wow... I lost those write-ups back when my hard drive melted down. I completely forgot that I had posted them here...

    How important do you think game balance is?

    I voted "Not very important." It's all relative to your gaming style, and the people that comprise your group.

    Have you become disillusioned with 3rd edition?

    Currently I am running a home-brew using a blend of Iron Heroes and Black Company Magic/Mastercraft, with some additional house rules mixed in. Prior to that we ran a very successful SWd20 game; although I ended up rewriting almost the entire system :p Overall, though I suppose you could say...

    In Character Embezzlin` - Another Taboo?

    It all depends on the tone of the campaign, as well as the dynamics of the group in which you are playing. If you are gaming with a group of friends who aren’t going to take such actions personally, and it is appropriate to the tone of the campaign as well as something that fits the character's...

    What's your favorite D&D character sheet?

    Ema's sheets are pretty nice as well, but I have a general dislike of any sheet that has the feats prelisted like that.

    What's your favorite D&D character sheet?

    I will toss a vote towads the Mad Irishman's sheets. Although the SSA-X2 sheet is very nice as well... http://www.ssa-x2.com/products/X2/charsheet/index.shtml

    Common sense

    Exactly... Although, I have played with a few people that had a very light grasp on the whole "common sense" thing :p

    In Character Embezzlin` - Another Taboo?

    I once played a rogue who skimmed off the top. I had very good bonuses to appraise, bluff, and diplomacy and usually managed to get very good prices for whatever the party had to sell. Of course, when appropriate I took off a percentage or three for the finder's fee (I am the one who usually...
