In over 20 years of playing RPGs, I've only played in two scenarios with doppelgangers. The first one was quite awhile ago, and pretty typical. The party's dwarf was assassinated, and the player then played the doppel for a few sessions. The second one was in the past year, with an...

I've been using astral constructs. They seem to be the closest fit the picture from the monster book. FM

I'd love to do this. I started my first 3.0 campaign with four kids in the party. They all stayed around for at least two years. One is still in my group, and he just started high school.

I've been playing one for several months now. The ability to swap out the spontaneous spells is pretty cool. I've been enjoying that. However, the ability to affect spirits is kind of like the ranger's favored enemy, only magnified - it's very dependent upon what creatures the DM puts in his...

I played a warmage for about 6 months. I agree with the others - a lot of fun blasting stuff, but mostly useless in other situations. I really enjoyed not needing to prepare spells. The other benefits never seemed to be over the top. However, my main experience with playing a warmage was...

In the past year, I've played a human twice, but also a gnome, goblin and dwarf. I like the little guys, especially the goblins, but most GMs don't have the same "vision" of them as I do. Gotta love Birthright. :p Voted for human.

I took a break from GMing for the past year or so. In that time I've played: Psion (nomad)/Ranger, Fighter, Warmage (loved the character, but not the class), Spirit Shaman and Wizard/Rogue. I chose Psion as I had the most fun with that one (though the wizard is getting close). I'm eager to...

I'm not currently running a D&D campaign, but have allowed psions and psy warriors. In two games I'm playing in, I have a war mage and a spirit shaman. The war mage is the only arcane spell caster in the party. The class really is too limited in scope as the only arcanist, but blowing up...

The magic shops in my campaign sell only potions, scrolls, alchemical items, or similarly powered one-shot items. These are only available in mid-sized towns or bigger. Rarely, I've had low level magic arms and armor available in towns near fortified bases. I've also had traveling merchants...

At least here in Ohio, being protestant isn't a problem. I've subbed at one Catholic school and had interviews at a couple others. Even had one job offer (but ultimately turned it down). The question of my religious background never came up. I have an MA in education, and got that before any...

Hmm, let's see... (paging through book) My players have actually encountered: War Bat Sun Giant Jermlaine Mudmaw Half-Golem Spellstitched Have planned locations with: Abeil Catoblepas Dire Elk Topaz Dragon Myconid And finally, played a druid short term who made a bogun. Not bad usage...

I'm starting a new d20 future campaign. Two of my players want to play cyborgs, and one wants to play a robot. I'm letting them buy their starting attachments/robot equipment based on their character's starting wealth. Now, I once mentioned in passing that to get a lot of gear, one could take...

I'm preparing to run a wastelands campaign, adding in Green Ronin's Psychics, and inspiration from several sources (Fallout, Omega World, etc). Originally, I started planning this to run something at Origins & GenCon next year - my opportunities to play such games seemed limited lately...

I'm planning on running a Wastelands campaign for my gaming group, and got to thinking... I want to create some new races, and assign them some mutations, but I don't want to give them so many drawbacks. Instead, I want to balance each race with a Level Adjustment (this might also be a PC...

It's sensitive to the complaining parent's concerns, it addresses the realities of the career, and opens up a reasonably good option for your younger players. Your plan sounds very good. I seriously doubt it's hate for anyone who has chimed in here. However, I bet we can agree that there's a...

d20fool, I sympathize for you. I'm a teacher as well, and have had six different kids in my campaign at various times. Unfortunately, the worst part of the experience you've described are the three phone calls your principal has already received. If that had not have happened, my advice...

I used to play a lot of play-by-mail games. Fitzpaw FungiMuncher was a character I created for a pbm game called Monster Island. He's a catfolk type creature who shamed his clan by experimenting with unusual (non-meat)foodstuffs. His habits became so persistent his family agreed to pay for...

My girlfriend was playing on the giant Settlers of Catan board when the football game let out. She said a lot of fans wandered by and asked what was going on, didn't have a clue about all these different games, and so on. Look at it as an opportunity for education and recruitment. ;) While...

Yeah, I'll have to put myself in that group, too. My girlfriend and I both agree that we just over booked ourselves. Our schedules were just packed, and were too tired at the end of each day. Last year (my first), my buddies and I had underprepared. There's got to be a happy balance... I...
