I voted for the literal aspect, as that is my intention for using them during tactical situations. Though actual use tends to swing between the literal and abstract aspects. The poll could've used a "bit of both" option. Too many times, I'd have something like a 20x30 room with ten to fifteen...

In my campaigns, players will have a second and third character to fall back on, as soon as an opportunity to work the new character in arises. In a campaign I play in, the GM approaches character death with a Highlander theme. Your character doesn't die unless decapitated. It's not uncommon...

When I bought my house, the previous owner left behind two 4'x8' sheets of white tile board. I acquired a fairly large table (used) for free along the way. I placed a sheet of said tile board on the table and using a red "Sharpie" laid out a 1/2" grid with a 1" border. Dry erase worked on the...

A few years back I had a keen interest into acquiring a sword, one that was battle ready. In other words, as sword that would perform as those produced in medieval times. So I did some research on the web. I looked into things pertaining to metullurgy, form and function of a sword. After...

I'd have no problem playing in a, Core rules only, campaign as Quasqueton defined. And to echo Olgar Shiverstone, there's enough in the core books to run with for years.

I'm currently at work and have no way to check up on any rules regarding inter-dimensional spaces inside one another. The spell description certainly doesn't seem to indicate any specific hazards. While the DMG certainly spells out the consequences of the Bag of Holding and Portable Hole...

Five, six if you count the Sunless Citadel module (3.0 version, don't know if it was ever re-printed updated as a 3.5 version). I own the PHB, DMG, MM & FRCS (all v3.0), and the Unearthed Arcana. I owned (briefly) another FR v3.x product but gave it away to a friend.

I said 1-2 hours. Sometimes it's less than one hour and sometimes it's closer to five, over a two week period. All my prep-time happens at work, and depending on how busy I am helps factor in how much I can work out. I do a lot of the "wing it" sessions. But I don't run D&D/D20, I use...

I have a notebook filled with graph paper instead of conventional lined paper. When it's time for combat I'll write out the Name(s) A/C(s) of the creatures and Individual HP's and any special items of note. As a creature get's hit, the recorded HP value get's a line though it and write down...

It's been my experience that those who GM are the ones who invest the greater part of financial resources towards rgp's, when compared to those who only players.

Dice Flipmat (from steelsqwire.com) Mini's

Yes. I have a very active imagination, I have more ideas go through my mind than I'm able to actually get written down and put into use.

For a one-shot game, or short mini-campaign (3 or less sessions, but more than one), pretty much anything is acceptable, as I've not spent a lot of time on the setting. For long term campaigns, I'll have a somewhat detailed setting (and a great amount of time spent having so done), therefore...

I not only don't use material components, I've never used them (or made pc spell casters use them, rather) for any edition of the D&D game. The only real exception to this would be for the crafting of magical items, where a a Long Sword +1, +2 vs. Orcs, would require bits of orc flesh and blood...

Before trapping and turning in any animals to the animal shelter, you better check to see if there is a fee involved. I owned 2 cats a while back, male and female, neither were neutered and nature took it's course. Finding a home for the kittens was easily enough taken care of, I ended up...

My parents have DISH, my dad absolutely loves it, says he doesn't have any of the problems he used to have with reception when he had cable due to inclement weather. I also have an Uncle who uses DISH, he says he doesn't have reception problems either. Just this year I upgraded from Classic...

Like it or not, best do as Mother says. I'm in the "it all depends on the kid in question" camp myself, when it comes to the starting age for RPG's. Just this summer I introduced my 12 years old stepson to RPGing. He does better than I expected by paying close attention to what's happpening in...

I've got both, shops and people who work for commission. Sometimes the shop or person who makes item for commission may be associated with the local temple or other organization. In either case, what the characters want may not be available or available for quite some time. Most on-hand stock...

I use unpainted mini's for combat and other tactical situations. I haven't had time to paint my mini's yet.

Needs an other option, so I didn't vote. I primarily play and run a fantasy medieval style rpg. I don't use any D20 based mechanical system for my campaigns, I use my own. The campaigns I play in are mostly D&D/D20 based systems but the GM's tend to change or add in elements from other...
