the other question... why isn't there a troop of tough, seasoned adventurers heading into said cave and poking the slumbering beast with something a bit mroe deadly than a stick?

One of my personal frustrations - as a DM yes, but also as a player - was the high magic involved with the demise of a character. If we were low level, and any of us survived the fight, just gather up the dead and head to the nearest temple - bammo, somehow in the middle of nowhere, in this 3...

I feel your pain. I started playing Expert Rules Dungeons and Dragons and Gamma World at Bellevue Community College a loooooooooong time ago... soon afterwards, I joined the Navy, and for the next 23 years, I must have gamed with 200+ players. So many, as we would all end up transferring to...

Very minor work for many of us to simply change the names to fit our campaigns

Spelljamming while known of on my version of Faerun, isn't something the common player walks into the corner mage shop and buys himself a helm and slaps it on the first schooner he sees. Not only are said helms expensive, hideously so, they're rare - and the lore for creating them (and the...

I am somewhat surprised at just how much of the stuff listed I actually own! Also, saddenned by how much I don't...:eek: Awesoime list, I lkike the Spalljammies remark!

"she KNOWS it's a multi-pass.." ahem, anyway, I remember those fond days of drudging around inside the ToH - except at the time our characters were years old and anything BUT disposable... descpicable Sphere's of Anihalation...

The Inn at Dragon's Keep No, seriously - a real place, on Gabriola Island in British Columbia. Our spread out all over the place gaming group get's together every couple years or so for an extended gaming marathon, and we rented the entire main hotel for the occasion.

My favorite, which still stands to this day after all these years, is the Sphere of Annihalation inside the mouth of the large Demon facade in the origional Tomb of Horrors. How many characters willingly stepped into that "portal"....?

To add the the discussion: in the novels and written lore about Waterdeep, aye, there would be no defense against an experienced well armed, well equipped Spelljamming vessel. At this point, many of us are long past relying on this lore. My Waterdeep, while using the available lore, has...

Our biggest argument with 3.0/3.5 Psionics are the abilities/powers virtualy mimic those of a mage, to the point where several actually reference the players handbook mage spell "x" for our psionicist to find out how his power is working. Bah and Uber Humbug on that. If we wanted to play a...

I created Falstaff Grungaard an immense loincloth wearing, superstitious two handed sword weilding tribal berserker some years ago and a direct omage to a young Conan. Falstaff died drowning a Jackalware, turns out our low level group didn't have the requisite magical weapons to kill the damned...

The "old" army was created by the "old" wizard. The wizard who was deposed by the current "benevelent" wizard controlling the new army. By deposed, I mean killed. To reawaken the old army, they will need to gain the old wizards ring. The ring is sealed up with the old wizard's corpse. The...

Thanks for the replies... still sorting through the information found inthe links. Our group has decided to fuse the 2.0 Psionic System with our 3.5 game (filing the 3.0/3.5 Psionic Rules in the Circular File), adjustments are ongoing. Once we have a fluid system, I'll post what we've...

Allrighty, we've been experimenting with Spelljamming in 3.5 Rules, and have determined that it's doable, with a few adaptations - yet, I find I am curious if there are any other 3.0/3.5 Spelljamming updates out there. Next, I am frustrated with Psionics being treated as "just another form of...

1st level can be fun, especially for the experienced gamer It's refreshing to play a noob every now and then. When I do, I like tog et off the beaten path, try and explore something that's challenging - like a blind orcish illusionist with a vow of poverty (been there, done that)

The problem usually takes care of itself In my experience, the other gamers finally get sick of it, and THEY turn on the offending player. Either that, or they approach you and tell you they aren't coming anymore until the offending player is either gone, or changes their ways. Just last...
