    Dungeon and dragon WOTC forums

    I take it you've only been playing D&D since 3rd edition. The material copy between sources was more obvious in previous editions.

    Your best fight vs. an anti-Paladin

    Can I mention the silliest fight? :o I typically play the anti-paladins and in this combat the classic example of DM not understanding the monster he is tossing at the player occured. My DM tossed 3 Solars at me. I should have been toast. The DM didn't fudge the die rolls, but he really...

    What Creatures "Break" A Fantasy Game World For You?

    I can handle anything as long as my game breakers are one shots. Gunpowder is one. Hence I have issues with Ptolus. Sci-fi elements is another. I really can't handle warforged. I can handle Expedition to the Barrier Peaks because it was a one shot and everything would eventually run out...

    3.x Bucket List

    Ptolus Fiendish Codex I Heroes of Horror I'd recommend DCC #35 – Gazetteer of the Known Realms if I was allowed a 4th choice. I can't comment on Castle Whiterock yet since no one got me it for Christmas like I wanted. (grumble)

    Future of gaming companies with the impending recession ?

    Offtopic...but last year...I got a lot of awards from work...in the form of promised money. I just had to ask how I'd like the cash (gift cards, gifts, and cash - minus a small percentage)...after looking at all my choices. I knew what I had to do....Barnes and Noble gift cards...I'm going to...

    Subtitles or dubbing?

    I prefer subtitles. However I might be biased as I am deaf in one ear. I prefer subtitles so I don't miss anything. That said sometimes it doesn't matter. I've had a couple of animes (Cowboy Bebop is the one I can remember) that the dubbing and subtitles were the same. Then there are...

    The Best & Worst of 3rd Edition: WotC Adventures and Locations (Winners Announced)

    I'm loving that Fiendish Codex I is getting such a high % I was my favorite out of the list. I expect to get many good years out of that book.

    "Previews" -how do you get your release info?

    D&D 4E 1/2 Orcs in 4E (Rich Baker scoop)

    I don't know how much purchasing power they have...aren't the music and movie industries saying they are losing money (because of pirating)? offtopic (only partially) Personally I think the music industry is doing bad because they are making junk.... I don't WotC making junk. I want the...

    D&D 4E 1/2 Orcs in 4E (Rich Baker scoop)

    There is nothing disturbing about being a half-orc. All being a half-orc says is their ancestors at some point were an orc and something else. No, it is aimed at parents that want to control content for their kids (the books) while allowing the parents to access the material online for a fee...

    D&D 4E 1/2 Orcs in 4E (Rich Baker scoop)

    I wouldn't poo poo that industry so fast. it is sold in most places that books are sold. it is not hidden behind counters or come in black plastic covers it made $1.37 Billion in 2006 compared to Sci-fi/Fantasy's $495 million Anne Rice (nut that I think she is) got her start there and is...

    The moderators cordially invite the members to use some common sense when posting. This was so far from appropriate that it wrapped around and smacked itself on the back of the head. Use better judgment next time, please. Post deleted. ~ Piratecat

    Random ideas you never saw through

    I have one campaign world that I tinker with off and on... It is a world at the edge of the multiverse. In fact it is out of phase with the rest of the multiverse and tends to collect things that come through the meta-physical toilet (black holes/rips in time&space/etc.) The world has...

    "Previews" -how do you get your release info?

    I like Previews, but I'm finding I don't have time to visit the store any more to get them. What do you do to find out the release schedule for the items that appear in Previews? Sites? Is there a full release of previews online someplace? I tend to like everything in Previews...from the...

    Favorite Prestige Class

    Alienist, for the lovecraft feel while still being able to play non-evil. The augmented summoning was nice too... Malconvoker, I love working with demons and being non-evil was a nice touch...though I hated that one had to stay non-evil. Shadow Adept, I find the Shar aspect annoying but I...

    Vote For Or Against POL Map Here

    I'll be fine with maps similar to those in the splat books. Basically a close up map of one area. I am not interested in seeing POL world maps....nor even region maps. However, I wouldn't mind seeing a village (homlet?) and a bit of terrain (forrest/mountain/swamp/whatever.) Basically I'd...

    Great Fantasy Cities (and what makes them so awesome)

    nah...you're not dating yourself. Moorcock is still putting out books and Stormbringer was updated to 3rd ed. I think Tanelorn is a good choice. In one of my long standing groups that has been playing since the early 80s, we have one city based off Tanelorn.
