It's been a great ride, many thanks Lazybones. I wonder, will we ever know just how Talen and Shay end up? Also, now we are at/near the end, just who was Ozmad and why were they trying to release the Ravager?

I will normally type up my prep notes but only because I find it easier to do at the PC. I then trasnfer the key pieces of information to index cards for easy use at the table. I dont draw maps for anything. If I have possible encounters in mind I will dig out some appropriate tiles for use...

You are completely overrating the importance of constitution for defenders. The difference in total HP is very small and the extra healing surges can be compensated for by a single feat. While it may seem a bit odd Con can easily be left at 10 or 12 as a Paladin, especially as you start...

How callous can you be! Dont you understand the sacrifice that thousand of celestial badgers have made in service to the idea of trap detection... :)

No, it was billed as a Pulp setting which is something quite different and has little or nothing to do with grim n'gritty.

This has always happened with every edition of D&D. Whether it was in the pages of Dragon, around individual game tables, or online. Its a feature of any game with a fairly high dgree of complexity.

The 1e bard always seemed to be intended as a homage to the Celtic tradition rather than medieval pop star.

The 1e Bard required you to be a human dual classed fighter, thief, druid. I have never seen anyone create stats that would let you legitimately play one. The BECMI Gazeteers and Creature Catalogues introduced various additional options including specialist mages (Glantri), nuclear...

Your ability to twist what someone said into something they clearly didnt say is impressive. Truly you show your class for all to see.

As with many people new to writing a SH it has quickly become apparent that this venture is doomed. You can find discussion of what is happening in the game at http://forum.rpg.net/showthread.php?t=406959

I am picking Eilian as the spy. The annoying old man who everyone ignores or barely notices who can easily stand around talking drivel while listening in on all sorts of conversations.

I generally find that when asking for advice it probably isnt that productive to insult people or their play styles. If you want some practical advise about how to organise things as a GM then you can use the quest system. I tend to provide players with personal quests as well as overall...

Actually I will go even further and say that it even affects groups of friends playing together. Raid loot distribution is almost always one of the main points of potential tension in any guild. To use DKP or not, if so which version, how to handle people who are late or dont come with...

Trust me, back in the day when that shiny purple BOE sword dropped and no-one had yet gotten their epic land mount you would see everyone rolling need. I have 4 70's across three servers and screams of "ninja" are still common in general chat and on the forums.

Then you are most likely better off finding a game that supports this. Really, no edition of D&D supports this, at all. Heroquest/Hero Wars (whatever its being called nowadays) or Burning Wheel are probably a much better fit. 3.x might actually be the worst version for supporting this...

Also, whilst hesitating to raise this issue (although its relevant for every edition which has magic item selling) you see this a lot in WoW. Loot distrubtion is probably the biggest cause of group meltdown in WoW. As the Mage you may think that the awesome staff that just dropped would be...
