    Fantasy Genetics: Half-breeds

    I created this already for my game, I actually posted it here. Called it the Wyrmtouched. I made a few alterations to it, so here's a repost: The Wyrm-touched Dragons' magical nature allows them to crossbreed with virtually any creature. This usually occurs while the dragon has changed its...

    If I bought WoTC I would......[your answer here]

    1) I would never read another D&D role playing forum on the internet, unless it was to find out what internet people were whining about and specifically exacerbate the situation. 2) I would, if I could afford to, hire back the greats who have been let go or who have left (assuming they were...

    Races of Faerun... ummm.. yawn?

    The point would be to provide descriptions (and probably some rules-sets) for the physiology, psychology and sociology of the major humanoid races of the Realms. That's worthwhile to me.

    How about a survey on the 3E halfling?

    Hobbit 3E I have been listening to The Fellowship of the Ring unabridged audiobook and thought this might best represent hobbits in the 3E way. If not otherwise mentioned, they're the same as standard 3E halflings, and I can't be bothered to do height/weight charts :). -2 Str, +2 Wis, +2 Cha...

    How about a survey on the 3E halfling?

    I'm not a newer player and it suited me juuuuuust fine.

    Poll: Rating your D&D game based on criteria in Monte Cook's article in Dragon #300

    What I run vascillates between mature and vile. The default is at the mature level--there is sex, there are morally corrupt people, and so on. Occasionally, the details slip into the vile realm. Example: in playing Return to the Temple of Elemental Evil, the PCs had made friends with a plucky...

    flamey; ignore (-- Darkness)

    Re: Meepo and Silverthrone... I beg to differ, sir. He tells me I'm unfit to play a mature game because I like a little splatter. That is completely out of line. Inexcuseable.

    flamey; ignore (-- Darkness)

    Why does something you not like have to be inheritly poorer in quality? If someone viewed their role playing game as a real-life video game where it was mostly about building characters and getting stuff, I wouldn't tell them, "You are immature and don't know how to play." So why, if I...

    (Long) Evil vs. Vile vs. Mature - are they the same?

    Is that axe ground enough for you yet or do you wanna take a few more weeks on it?

    Another Dragon #300 thread - kill the tie-ins

    No, I understood what you meant, but he's made it clear elsewhere that they knew this was a marketing thing. If he gives you an impression in one place and flat out says something in another (unless you haven't read both), why does what he said in that Gaming Report repost of his comments matter?

    Another Dragon #300 thread - kill the tie-ins

    No, I'm not complaining because people are complaining. I'm addressing how they're complaining. Acting as though they have a voice beyond their own, and just generally being unfair and overly-eager-for-failure. Now that is irony. You're taking pains to make sure everyone knows you don't care...

    Another Dragon #300 thread - kill the tie-ins

    I don't see how this is possible, given that someone from Dragon publicly copped to its being a marketing gimmick right here, I believe.

    Another Dragon #300 thread - kill the tie-ins

    They're not even a slightly accurate sampling of opinion. This board is good for getting ideas or for checking whether things balance or for just shooting the (I don't know how censorious these boards are so I'll just say) crap. They are not at all a good sample of gamer opinion or behavior...

    The most POWERFUL classic monsters! (Read intro before voting!!!)

    Lich for me. For "making the party scared", it's got to be something specific and iconic. There're a few of those up there: dragons, beholder, etc. So that when they see one, they go, "Oh my god!" But the other part of your question was a sticktoitivness, and liches are made for that. They...

    The term "Crunchy" and Dragon - where do we go from here?

    Re: Re: Re: The term "Crunchy" and Dragon - where do we go from here? These boards are meaningless as a gauge of opinion. How many active posters can there be here? Certainly less than a hundred. (I'm not talking about how many people have accounts, but how many people regularly participate...

    Another Dragon #300 thread - kill the tie-ins

    Rebuttal: Don't cut out the heavy themed issues. I like that each issue has its own theme, it makes it easier to find the content when a few months have gone past and there's enough detail there that I can come up with a whole campaign setting on the fly if I need to. Even when I'm not...

    Another Dragon #300 thread - kill the tie-ins

    Lemme break it down for you, Mr. Wilson. There are people on these boards who hate anything and everything done by "The Powers That Be". No matter who is deemed to be in a power position, they will be hated for being in that position. There need be no substantive complaint, because people...

    The term "Crunchy" and Dragon - where do we go from here?

    Of course you do. Pretty much every topic you start portrays a nearly pathological hatred of WotC. What scientifically accurate study did you conduct to determine this? Or did you just decide, "My point of view is the majority point of view so I'll just say it is." I'm just fine with what...

    You know what? I think I'm done with XP

    I believe that Star Wars uses a system where a set amount of XP based on level is awarded for every session, and that conforms to the formula where every 13.333333333333 encounters, you gain a level. I've been thinking of doing that (along with deleting alignment) in my next game.

    Least favorite Prc

    That's part of it, but people who are bothered by this can still say that Wizards puts too many PrCs in their books. It doesn't matter if there are 2 new prestige classes published every day. If there are only 7 Knights of the Holy Whatzis in your campaign, then there are only 7 Knights of the...
