    Austin housing is getting expensive. It now starts around $90k with most near $150, but we have a very large if introverted gaming community.

    As an exstore clerk I can tell you that $20.00 is not the breaking point it once was. First that is just about what it cost for a fast food meal for 4. Second more and more people in the US don't carry cash any more. Not only are there credit cards but check cards are becoming very popular...

    Gestalt Campaign Idea - Everyone's a sorcerer

    This post brings up a major point. For most NPC's they will not be able to use first level spells and a large number 40 to 50% of the population would not be able to use even 0 level spells. As the power of the spell goes up the number of people who can cast them declines. For some races...

    What RPG books do you have multiple copies of?

    We tend to buy two copies of each Player hand books for the games we play. We also have a habit of buy two copies of any book that gets used alot. Of course when you have 2 to 3 gamers in the same household there is a greater need for multiple copies.

    Paladin Mounts

    I base mine on the campain, how well the character is being roleplayed and the power level we are using for that camapain. My adive is to use what seems best for you. Start low powered and then increase it as you go until it fits both the campain and the players.

    Be honest, DMs: how much do you ad lib?
