    Demon Lords and Princes: How *Bad* Should They Be?

    Maybe I'm not clear exactly on what canon means then. I'm talking about backstory, and D&D does not have one. Or rather it shouldn't, especially not Planescape's in any case.

    Demon Lords and Princes: How *Bad* Should They Be?

    Dunno, man, I don't buy every book out there. I'm a DM not a collector, but DMG2 doesn't sound like a core book to me.

    Demon Lords and Princes: How *Bad* Should They Be?

    When did Planescape canon become D&D canon? For that matter, when did D&D get a canon? For baseline D&D, it's all about killing things and taking their stuff. If you can get to the top of the ladder (20th level by the core), one day you can go kick in Demogorgon's door and take his stuff...

    Hordes of the Abyss.

    I like that demon lords and princes are put back in their place... as *one* of the toughest monsters in the DMs arsenal.

    Best Class for a new player

    I voted Barbarian, Fighter, Ranger and Sorcerer. It's very good to see that nobody voted druid - I'm never letting a new player try a druid again. Ever.

    How to PCs carry all their stuff?

    ... You have a player that worries about rations and encumbrance? :confused:

    How to PCs carry all their stuff?

    The first rule of encumbrance is... you don't talk about encumbrance. At our table it's one of those things - much like mundane ammunition, rations and the ability to start a fire - that we stop worrying about after 3rd-4th level.

    Cheating - who cares?

    I voted 44 times, probably throwing off your results. But... it was all in good fun. Do you care?

    Tomb of Horrors, White Plume Mountain - What would you have WotC update next?

    B2 is one old module that still has some commercial possibilities. I'd love to get it free, but I'm sure we'll see a 3rd version on the shelves someday (4th, if you count the HM version.) I'd love to see Lost Tamoachan or Beyond the Crystal Cave.

    Have you ever played an old character?

    I played a very very old druid... at first it was just powergaming (those INT/WIS/CHA bonuses far outway the physical penalties for a druid), but I really got into the role. He was chaotic neutral and a natural-born *terrible* leader. He started as a 1st-level character. I just assumed he had...

    Wooden dice sets?

    Mine are unvarnished, so I like to think I've got bit of my palm-sweat in each one. Sort of gross I know, but it also keeps the squirrels away.

    Wooden dice sets?

    I've contacted so many dice companies about wooden polyhedra I've lost track. They just aren't made as far as I can see, and nobody wants to try. Too bad, because I have a set of pine d6's (non-varnished) that are the lightest, bounciest, luckiest dice I've ever rolled. Even the guy with the...

    I hate Christmas

    Buy what you want and then send the bills around. This may seem mean, but I don't think you get the idea of Christmas. It's not about things.

    House Rulebook Design & Sample HR Book Template

    You can't blame the players as much as the game designers... there's always power inflation in rules sets, but add in third parties (where higher power = higher sales), and you start having to get happy with the banhammer. I seriously doubt 99% of the feats, spells or prestige classes published...

    Order of the Stick: How long will they put up with Miko?

    I'm kind of half-watching Between The Lions on PBS here with my daughter, and there's a plot point in the episode where the young lion doesn't like how Goldilocks and the Three Bears turns out. He rails about it for a while, then someone suggests an alternative... "Y'know, you could write your...

    House Rulebook Design & Sample HR Book Template

    I'm currently running a Greyhawk game, so my house rules document is easy - one page, double sided. The first side has character creation, a couple of rulings, rules for extra credit xp, rules for raking yourself over the coals, er... replacing characters, and an "anti-ad" for a couple of...
