QFT Besides, I've always been more of a Science Fiction and Comic Book fan then a Fantasy one. Where I do indulge in Medieval Fantasy I'd much rather go folklore style like Ars magica or Faery's Tale Deluxe. AD

Between 3-7. I basically have two groups. The size of each changes periodically with one group smaller then the other. Always...or at least nigh always. Yes...2 or 3 though rarely when I'm there. My newer smaller group has no females sadly. My older, larger group has 2-3 on average...

Never I refuse - I have yet to find a system so perfect that I didn't change/add/axe something. AD

So you should game with me... ;) Most of the characters you are all describing sound awesome and I've had similar ones in my games over the years. The following PC concepts have been seen in my campaigns at one point or another... Dungeons & Dragons Talking animals, Cannibal Kobold/Hybrid...

I would say yes, apart from those because there aren't enough of any of those elements to really make characters feel different. I generated 3 Dwarven Wizards and 2 Dwarven Warlocks as an experiment and it felt like I was only able to create 3 characters that truly felt different. For my group...

Once tried to run a campaign in which the PCs were all gods of things that didn't really matter much. I used some system/game that thought it was all artsy/WoD/high brow and looked more like a coffee table art book. The campaign only lasted a few sessions but generated lots of laughs. The...

And don't forget to use the same mob but just change the colors. They should get darker or paler the more dangerous they are. Oh, and one unigue one should be named and slightly larger. He's an elite and you won't be able to kill him if you play solo. AD

Two Thumbs Up for Green Ronin The first thumbs up is for the continued production of and success with Mutants & Masterminds, one of my "5 Greatest Games Ever Made" and definitely my favorite superhero/comic book sysyem. The second thumb goes to Chris Pramas and company for not supporting a...

My ideal would be a change of pace... 4E's release is sparking this weird 'anti-D&D' effect in me. I want Ars Magica or some similar 'real world fantasy' game where magic is strange, frightening, difficult, dangerous and rare. Magical creatures are equally rare, often more fable then fact...

This is essentially the theme of my longest standing D&D campaign universe, a cross between medieval fantasy and the Legion of Super Heroes. Initially played in a somewhat 'traditional' D&D milieu (1st ED), it evolved into something akin to Justice League Unlimited set in the world of Final...

A good example of why its bothersome to me is it makes feel foolish in a hobby I've been at for over 30+ years. I have almost no idea what the above sentence means. :confused: AD

Forked from: "Looks like we're going to win this battle . . . in about 90 minutes from now." Minor, possibly grognardish rant/observation. Take a gander at this description of a 4E encounter... One of the elements of 4E that puts me off the most is the act of identifying the classes as...

I just want more options in general. More for the classes already there, more classes, just more. I tried to make up some characters I'd like tp play if I was ever in a 4E game and they just felt the same as each other. Specifically I tried to make 3 Dwarf Wizards and I just did find enough...

I'll try again... http://barkingalien.deviantart.com/art/The-Dragling-90208155 The image linking function of the site doesn't seem to work well for me. AD

That's kind of what I was thinking. Maybe looking directly at the Sunrod might make you see spots but for the most part 'light descends upon the region' seeming to 'come from no one place but bathing the area in light'. D&D has always outsold SciFi games yet many of its fans analyze it like a...

Um...yep. Read the last four or five posts to see examples. Dragonborn don't look very much like dragons. Rather, they more closely resemble some kind of bulky, scaley, squat, rounded off aliens. At best they look a bit like Ogres who mated with Lizardmen or something. At least to me. AD

Enter...The Dragling! I never make idle threats about art... http://barkingalien.deviantart.com/art/The-Dragling-90208155 So Mark, whattaya think? AD

Your on bud! My only fear is that what was essentially a joke may end up accidentally really cool looking. LOL AD

I have GOT to draw one of these. lol

I guess that's really what it boils down to for most people. If not enough people played a species, perhaps a new species is in order. For myself, in the 30+ years I've been slinging dice I've seen at least 5 half-orcs and at least 7 gnomes (one of those half-orces and three of the gnomes were...
