    Pushover DMs

    well, i do dislike it when my character seems incapable of dying in the campaign world as a whole. it wrecks my fun when i feel no sense of danger as a player. with that said i hate it more when a dm doesn't even give you a decent chance of survival ie stealing your magical weapons and matching...

    Changing Characters...

    i've noticed this in alot of dm's. they only hate character changing when a character has a perfectly good reason to quit adventuring. ie two weapon fighting guru loses an arm and quits to a life of drinking or some such thing or mighty paladin gets turned into a dog. when a character is changed...

    Psionics-Love it or Hate It?

    i bought the book, played a monk/rogue/duelist/psion (the dexterity related kind, been a whlie since i looked at this book) and have not used it since. it doesn't fit my games all that well. it is balanced fairly well with arcane and divine. slightly more complicated then arcane or divine but if...

    Relics and Rituals 2!!! I GOT IT!!! (More)

    well speaking for the male community of people who spend alot of time reading books as opposed to outside getting exercise. i do not care how uncomfortable it was, you could not get me to take off my clothes to cast a spell. :D

    Thoughts on Quintessential fighter

    the jousting rules are good but a few of the prestige classes are a bit much as far as unbalancing the game goes. many of the weapons are unbalanced. i don't use the book much but i do use it more then sword and fist.

    Dr. Evil or Scott Evil?

    it depends on the situation for me. if you mess with a lawful evil level 20 litch, you get scott. the level 5 chaotic neutral bard tends to be more doctor like. i like the doctor but there are times where the players do something incredibly stupid like give the creepy guy who keeps whispering to...

    Seriously, though, do you prefer homebrews?

    yup, i usually take the published setting and then have some kind of major war or something that changes it to fit the mold of what i want in a campaign world at that given time. my scarred lands campaign is going to begin with chardun giving the calastians some outsider aid and a massive army...

    Can an axe be a good ranged weapon?

    i have actually (briefly) played a character similar to this one. he died in the third fight when i messed up my math and he threw all of his axes (16, and yes i had a schematic of where they were carried) before the enemy closed. lev 3, bare handed wearing leather armor vs 2 ogres no improved...

    You know you need a new group when...

    or jack chick? 19. your dm says "you walk into a tavern" and the entire contrived plot springs into your mind like a road map.

    News Reporting Poll, Take 2

    whatever it takes to keep the site up man, i do not know what i'd do without it. i like it! it's less robotic. i have the time to wade through it and find what i'm looking for. And most of the time it's an enjoyable read. less like a CNN for DnD, more like a fan site done by a guy with personal...

    How to run a short game? (and game summary)

    i would plan an ending that did not require them to have really done anything so you can spring it on them in the last session no matter how much or little progress they have made. perhaps a kind of posessed community leaders/ students type scenario with the final confrontation involving the...

    Reviews, more wanted

    i focused so hard on providing a non biased summary of the product i reviewed that i forgot to mention most of the reasons i hated the book. i ramble on about how the editing is not noticabley bad and the text is well written and then POW the 1 out of 5 score hits you in the junk because the...

    Poll Favorite D&D/d20 Published Setting

    just bought scarred lands ghelspad last week. it got my vote. i allready had most of the other books for the setting so i figured what the heck. i'm just waiting to see how bad dragonlance is going to be before my mind is set as strongly as nightfall's. all i didn't like was the alphabetical...

    Scarred Lands: Ghelspad

    the scarred lands campaign setting : ghelspad is a 250 page hardcover book publshed by sword and sorcery studios. it retails for $24.95 American which means i payed $40 because i'm canadian. This is the setting which virtually if not all of the material published by S&SS refers to. the interior...

    Rings of Power

    well, the reason i gave it so poor a score was not entirely due to the lack of "crunch" as it were but in fact because even the crunch that is offered is largely not usable to me. with most of the rings in the book you will be giving whoever gets it far to much power for my tastes compared to...

    Dragonlance

    if you have any intention of reading the latest wiess and hickman book do not read my post. the last book by wiess and hickman basically killed off all the major characters and the two most overbearing dieties. they have left DL a world with plenty of adventuring opportunity with little...
