    How Do You Deal With Splatbooks?

    I used to allow any WotC products. Now only PHB I and II, DMG I and II, and any campaign specific setting book (currently Scarred Lands). I also, as DM, bring in my own 3rd party books for things such as drinking alcohol, other weapons and armor (Arms and Armor 3.5), and the occasional other...

    [DMing] How to keep D&D 3.5 from taking over my life

    I was following your thread from the other site. Up until that point I was a little disappointed with the system. I must admit to being a convert now and yanked all those ideas so I will remember. But, to the original poster--there is never enough time to do everything you want in a 3.x game...

    Playing without a tank

    What kind of setting and campaign are you playing in? Personally, I tend to tailor my games around what the player's have chosen. It makes it easier for me, as a DM, to plan adventures when there is no front line fighter or cleric simply due to the fact that every combat becomes a threat...

    Kingdoms of Kalamar question

    The reason I mention Tekumel is because I have the original setting. It has a lot of Underworld suggestions, dungeon crawling and exploration, and just gives off a good, nostalgic vibe. The newer GoO book fleshes it out, but the original harkens back to OD&D and gives me warm feelings. My...

    Kingdoms of Kalamar question

    Or maybe, questions? I am going to begin a new campaign and at some point wish to include Rappan Athuk reloaded into it. I have the Kingdoms of Kalamar campaign and associated books. My question is, does the new pdf, "Kingdoms of Kalamar: Player's Guide to the Sovereign Lands," add enough to...

    CA, East Bay Area/Antioch/Recruiting players

    The recent group has dwindled to two to four players on any given game day. I am looking to start up a new 3.5 campaign on alternating weekends. This would be a Friday evening alternating with a Saturday evening thing, every other week (2games per month). Current setting ideas are: Older...

    Shamus does AoO

    I'm going to jump on the, "not funny," bandwagon. AoO are not difficult in the least, especially in this strip.

    Sites You Visit - Game-Related

    RPG.Net for reviews and forums. Always nice to hear from the non-d20 crowd. Paizo, though their site speed drives me nuts. Privateer Press for their Iron Kingdoms info. WotC, especially if I am looking for new players.

    True strike

    Unfortunately, it is in the spell compendium. One of many reasons I do not use that book.

    Warforged Arcane Caster Woes

    Except The OP does not want to take Unarmored Body, as stated above. Off hand, w/out books in front of me, the Warmage has Armored Casting abilities. If you want a blaster, that is.

    Scarred Lands advice please.

    I really like the Blood Sea books, and I think the Termana Gazeteer adds a lot to the setting and is, in many ways a superior area of the setting. I am, however, drawn to sea based settings and anything with that dark carnival feel about it. The player's guides are really good for their fluff...

    So, Whatever Happened to Fafhrd and Greymouser?

    How Many PC's Do You Control?

    1 character per player. If they need more firepower they can hire mercenaries or take the Leadership feat. Most of them have a hard enough time running one character at a time, though the others are superb.

    What's your Favorite Kind of Player?

    The kind of player who wants to one day be the DM, or on the other side of the coin, knows the rules and does not want to be DM. The first tends to want to learn and appreciates the work put into presenting a campaign. The second knows the work, appreciates it, and works at not being a pain in...

    Elves and fluff, which elf do you prefer?

    Athasian Elves. Cruel and Fast, Fierce like the desert wind. Love me some Athasian Halflings too (finger lickin' good)

    Warmage - how balanced?

    As above, if you are just blowing things up, you are the best of the best. If you need magic for other uses, however, then what are you going to do? It's almost like saying Fighters blow Paladins out of the water in combat due to their extensive feats. Except fighters do not turn undead...

    Looking for DM advice - Rushing through the session

    Index cards. Small ones and Large Ones. Put NPC basics on them, like appearance, personality, and names. Or just start with blank cards with a number of pregenerated names on them so you have a name to go with that random NPC. Pull them out as needed and store them for future use. I also use...

    SkeletonKey Games Map Tiles - Which ones to buy?

    "Basics," is a tricky word, here. I have personally purchased the caves bundle, the sewer tiles, and the FREE fungus caverns, as well as the flooded caves and caves of peril. My next purchase will be the dungeons bundle. It depends upon whether you intend to keep using/buying them. The Caves...
