Clearly, the focus of the Chronicles of Narnia is on the humans from our world and their adventures in Narnia. The roles of "the sons of Adam and the daughters of Eve" are *pivotal* in Narnian history, even if their appearances were few and far between. How many commonfolk in Middle Earth...

Wow, Ysgarran - what a timely and intriguing post! I wonder how indicative are the following quotes: "Now, borrowing a page from a literary upstart named Harry Potter, the Lewis estate and its publishers have started shaping a marketing makeover of Aslan and assorted Narnian habitués to expand...

Re: Re: Re: Daily Slayers lyric post, part the 8th Right. But that still allows you to stroke your ego, eh, hong? :rolleyes:

Heh. That's true enough for a lot of kids. And some of them are truly rogue-like, being that they are want to shoplift candy and small toys from a store, steal money from their mommy's purses, set up boobytraps in their bedrooms in case a burglar breaks in (or maybe just to catch their siblings...

I concur. This I don't agree with. What was Edmund, in the first Narnia book, "The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe", if not a 1st level rogue? I suppose he could've been considered a 1st level bard, with good stealth and search skills, but without any spells (at least not yet, not at 1st...

Re: Daily Slayers lyric post, part the 8th Hong, did you inadvertently put this block of irrelevant nonsense in the wrong post? Or are you being your usual obnoxious self, trying to derail a post with your ubiquitous, self-gratifying "humor"?

Re: Miracles vs. Spells That is true. And yet... Mana falling from the sky, daily, to feed the Israelites struggling in the wilderness, was a reliable foodsource for them. Nevertheless, it was a miracle. Also, let us bear in mind that this is makebelieve. The point of an adult DM conducting...

Re: Good ideas... True enough. But clerics wouldn't be casting spells, per se, but praying for miracles. And, of course, all PC clerics would be Christians. As for bards.... well, they would indeed be casting spells, albeit through their music. So, I guess that would make PC bards a no-no...

I put some time and effort into doing this too. I called this particular incarnation of my house rules, "True d20", since it was truly a system that uses only the d20. :) Since, really, the only thing you use the other dice (d4, d6, d8, etc.) for is to determine damage, my system worked...

I've had lots of experience with implementing, playtesting, and balancing rules concerning armor DR. :) Converting the AC bonus for armor directly into DR can be problematic, as far as game balance goes. Imagine a PC trying to get damage past the natural armor of a gorgon (DR 9), a stone golem...

I think this is a GREAT idea, especially for young (ages 10-14), impressionable roleplayers with an adult DM. Having them play themselves, adventuring in the Land of Narnia, is particularly wonderful. Simplifying the 3E D&D rules for this is essential. Here are some ideas, right off the top of...

We're a small group of three players and a DM, looking for another player or two to join us. We play every other week. For now, we're playing every other Sunday afternoon, but that could change to every other Friday night, or to every other Saturday afternoon or night. (That is, if the group...

Hmm... Reminds me of another story, the one entitled, "Snow Dwarf and the Seven Wights"...

Thanks for all the info! Risk 2210 AD has special game pieces called Commanders, which can -- among other things -- be placed among standard army pieces on the board and used to modify the sway of battles. Does LotR Risk have anything akin to this? Like, does it have "heroic pesonality" game...

I'm going to drink my potion and... ! In one of my 1st Edition D&D campaigns, a player character -- a half-orc barbarian -- possessed a potion that turned the imbiber ethereal. Both the character and the player himself were muscle-bound meatheads. The player himself stood 6'6" and weighed over...

Has anyone here gotten the new Lord of the Rings version of the classic boardgame, Risk? If so, how is it different (other than the obvious, as depicted on the back of the game box) from classic Risk? I have Risk 2210 AD, which is a futuristic version of classic Risk that came out about a year...

My players are veteran gamers, and they know better than to cast entangle on an enemy who is less than 40' away. Like I said, a lot of encounters in my campaign take place outdoors. (If this were a typical, dungeon-crawling campaign, then entangle wouldn't be used nearly as much.) Almost...

I'm DM'ing a low-level campaign where the action often takes place outdoors. The entangle spell is starting to dominate the action, being that it has such a large area of effect (40' radius!) and a long duration (1 minute per level!), and that it greatly hinders the combatants caught within...

BTW: Although you might not know it from my posts here, I think 3E D&D is a great system. I just don't think it's a perfect system.

Well, this much is clear to me now... 1.) Some people here think it's not the rogue's sneak attack that needs fine-tuning, but the rogue's (or is it the fighter's?) abilities outside of combat. These people think that a fighter outshines a rogue in combat (and rightly so!), but not to a degree...
