    Feat Taxes, or, It's That Time of the Week Again

    ok, i get that NAD's are fort, ref, & will but does it stand for non-armor defense? as far as "the math" - I assume that at 30th level, magic and other "outside modifiers" arent taken into account? Also - what is the intended hit% for monsters?

    Something, I think, Every GM/DM Should Read

    here is the other sticking point to this argument why is it ok for players to cheat and not the dm? if a player's number one weapon of choice dealt poison damage, and he was fighting undead, he would automatically know poison is useless vs undead, why? because it's in the rules. So, if the...

    Feat Taxes, or, It's That Time of the Week Again

    ya know...before I started coming to this board, I thought I knew a little about D&D. I have no clue what dev's are, or avp's or any of those other deals I am totally lost. PLEASE, someone explain what the feat tax is, and what is all the talk about math about? is it just several modifiers...

    Actually, our opinion does matter.

    what an egg on face moment - please forgive me I looked back at every post, I was sure someone referred to you as "she" or "her" - but instead I suffered a dumbass attack I am VERY sorry

    Your dream dungeon...

    the climactic battle vs the evilist wizard ever, our group had fought this guy a half dozen times and he weasled away every time. His fortress, on the realm of shadow, was the size of a village. 20 foot thick walls, looming over 40 feet high, it seemed impregnable. That battle alone, from...

    Player Control, OR "How the game has changed over the years, and why I don't like it"

    We still use C - but the final say rests with whoever has the pencil (is the DM) or at the very least, enough maturity to not ruin the gaming experience for the rest of your group I think I am going to call our homebrew D&D 4/2 (4th edition mechanics, with 2nd edition narrative) perfectly...

    That Thing You Won't Ever Do

    in D&D - there is nothing I wouldn't do. Often times, I've played evil characters, and as a dm, i'm always the "bad guys" (obviously) - I usually "gloss over" the truly graphic stuff, no need to get into the details of the horridly insane. Its more than enough to say "you find the girl...and...

    When did WotC D&D "Jump the Shark"?

    I am so lucky. There are 8 at my table. Three of us have been together for going on 30 years, five of the eight for 10+ years. If I were in a position to have to "find a game" I'm not sure I could - or even would want to do it. This doesn't include any pbmb games, which are (or at least were...

    yeah, if i gave off the impression that I didn't know how to do a google image search, I am sorry. The guy you spotted is what I am using for a kobold piker, thus leaving me with a "need" for another pic (and I do use the word need very loosley, things will be fine without one) This is what I...

    Help With Art

    I am looking to spend my 2 dollars I have budgeted for gaming this month on some tokens. This means I am printing/cutting out my own. I have some pretty good ones, but I especially am looking for kobolds. Does anyone know a better place to look than google images?

    Player Control, OR "How the game has changed over the years, and why I don't like it"

    after careful consideration I would like to apologize once again for my poor choice of words when i said I play a more imaginative game. Pulling away from it- clearly it could easily be taken as an insult, and I am sorry. I think I was just being defensive, it seemed that quite a few people...

    What fake gaming terminology does your group use?

    another d&d-ism we use is "The Pencil" whoever of us is dm-ing is said to be "holding the pencil" or when a dm is finished with his adventure, he "passes the pencil"
