Hi When I was in elementary school in the 80's, my friends and I were told to stop playing D&D during recess (indoor recess in winter) because a class mate told her parents, and the parents called the principal. The preacher at their church had told them D&D was the work of the devil, and they...

Man! I would so dig playin in Palpy's game!

Hi Here's an interesting twist on this. I'm white. Up until 5 years ago I lived in the Atlanta, GA area and my friends I gamed with were African Americans. One day it dawned on me that I imagined their characters, you know elf, dwarf the usual mix as being basically white skinned, but with...

Hi I feel that mixing SciFi and Fantasy elements in a game can be fun, but I think it should be made known to the players going into the game. I think people might react badly to starting what they think is a fantasy game and then encountering a flying saucer or little green men. Thanks.

Hi Many years ago, I ran a campaign where the PC's were second generation adventurers. They were the children of a retired group of adventuers who had pretty much grown up together. The first adventure started at an inn owned by two of the parents. We came up with this background together during...

Hi, I really don't need a starting town in the DMG, but I think its a good idea anyway. People often say that the game should be playable with just three core books: the PHB, DMG and MM. If you include a starting point town in the DMG that's one step closer to that goal. Maybe they should...

Hi I think that many retailers are not aware of the pending edition change, or don't understand that it means that any 3e product sitting on their shelves will soon be obselete. If they did understand, they would try to unload it. The specialty games shops get this of course, but the book stores...

Hi I voted both, but the truth is even when I buy or download free pdfs, I print them out to use them at the game table or even just to read them. A computer, even a laptop is too clunky for the porcelain reading chair. :)

Hi The thing I don't like about the xp cost for magic item creation is that the non caster classes don't have to give up xp to use any of their class abilities or class specififc feats. I say if a wizard or cleric has to give up xp to make a wand, make the fighter give up xp everytime he uses...

I thought it was a nice, amusing article. Anything that involves women in gaming is good IMO. I like women! I like gaming! I like women gaming! I like reading about women gaming! :)

The Empty Chair from kenzerco.com MY Condolences. The Empty Chair Eulogy for a Gamer There is an empty chair, at the table this day. A hallowed place where, a friend once played. The roll of his dice, my ears long to hear. Or perhaps it would suffice, if he should suddenly appear. With...

Hi. I enjoy the FR novels and game products. I recently ran a campaign set in the Silver Marches and chose to use the Orc invasion led by King Obold as the back drop for the game. The key is I chose to do it. I think if a story in a novel has an impact on the overall setting, it should be...

Hi I recently purchased the NG version and I hope to base a campaign there soon. I bought City State of the Invincable Overlord and the Players Guide to check it out first. The box set is a big investment. I liked what I saw. I have to thank ENWorld for clueing me in on this setting. I was...

Hi I find the lack of Errata and the need for so much errata equally frustrating. The editing and proofreading on these products seems to be sorely lacking in the first place. Then we don't see corrections. I believe that WoTC has never been focused on customer satisfaction. It is my opinion...

Hi When I'm on the player side of the table, I find I do tend to play characters other than human. I believe its because when I play I want to escape from myself for a time and be something different, though not completely alien. Elves, dwarves, halflings etc. are different enough from me and...

There was a D20 that somehow floated around in one of my old game groups. It was dark brown with white numerals. It seemed to pop up in everyone's dice bag at different times. We reverently referred to it as Dooky Brown, but only in hushed voices. One did not wish to offend Dooky Brown, or call...

I had a strange experience with Amazon once. I preordered the FR adventure The Twilight Tomb. They showed an estimated ship date of about one week after the release. When it didn't arrive in a reasonable amount of time I checked on the order. The new estimated delivery date was over a month...

The Freeport Trilogy + Freeport setting: Freeport was one of the first settings I used in 3.0. It was a blast. Tome of Horrors: I loved that they updated some of the coolest, if obscure creatures from 1e/2e, and did it well. Ptolus: Hands down the most amazing, most beautiful game book I've ever...

Unearted Arcana Complete Scoundrel Players Handbook 2

Hi I don't think its unreasonable to ask him to bow out of the game, even just temporarily. Thanks.
