Hi On cyclical initiative, I'd say the main pro was that it speeds up the play of combat encounters. Since most combat encounters are over in 3 to 5 rounds it works fine for my games. On the Monk and Paladin multiclass restriction, I always considered that if there was a good campaign or story...

That sums it up for me.

The interior art Hi I'm sad to say I was dissappointed with the interior art in this book. This was supposed to be the capstone to The Realms for the 3.x era. The art recycled from other Realms books and even the other nonsetting specific books didn't bother me too much, but the afore mentioned...

Castle Ravenloft I ran My group through Expedition to Castle Ravenloft. I found it a bit confusing at first. It was the first product I picked up with the new format. I had to read the text, flip to the encounter, read the text, flip to the encounter, repeat ... when I was doing my read through...

Hi I don't really fit any of the options above. I would like to ( OK I Must! ;) ) own all the 3.0/3.5 books so that I have access to all the options. One of my players teases me that I'm like a kid with Pokemon, GOTTA GET EM ALL! I own most of the 3.0/3.5 books, but I never feel compelled to...

Hi. I'd say Frozen, mostly. Once I start a campaign I ignore any published changes made to the setting either in novels, source books, or what have you, unless I like the change then I may include it in the campaign. If a change doesn't affect my PCs directly though I won't mess with it. Most...

Hi, I'm curious as to what you would find to be an interesting and realistic female character. A peasant wench with no rights? That would be more realistic, but not very interesting. I've always found it interesting and cool that many of the toughest and most pwerful characters in the Realms are...

Holy Crap! That's funny! Absurd but funny! :)

I've purchased some books from Amazon Marketplace that had remainder marks when they arrived. They were described as "used like new" on the site and were about 50% off msrp so I wasn't upset, but I think the sellers should state that a book is marked if they sell them that way.

I voted creating NPC's because I love to build characters, but I tend to agree with T.Foster on this. My past experiences with worldbuilding and story arcs have tended to disappoint me. The players rarely get how much effort goes into that they just wanna play.

When I first started DMing for my friends 15 years ago (man that makes me feel old) I used to pull punches and feel very bad if a PC died. As I have logged more DM hours though I've accepted that sometimes PC's die. Usually its not anyone's fault, they have a rough patch of rolls or...

When 3.0 came out and they said Greyhawk is the core setting for D&D 3e I assumed as did many other people that meant Greyhawk was going to be revived. It was in a way with the Living Greyhawk campaign, but that was pretty limited. I was hoping for a continuation of the late 2e Greyhawk...

I recently ran the 3.5 update from wizards.com of White Plume Mountain for my players. I had to beef up the encounters because they were in the 10 to 11 level range and the revised version was set at around level 7. They had a very hard time with it. There were I believe 3 character deaths and 1...

I started on the red box basic set. I was in fifth or sixth grade. I believe it was 1985 or 86. One of my friends had the red box and we played at recess for a couple weeks. Then our teacher told us we couldn't play at school because a "concerned parent" called the school after her kid came home...

I just got mine in the mail this morning and as soon as I'm home from work I plan to dive in! I'm as excited as a kid at Christmas!

With the 3.x material I already have, both WoTC and D20, I can play D&D forever and never buy another book. 4E would have to really blow my socks off to get me to invest in it. When 3E was anounced I was sceptical, until I played a demo at Dragon Con. The D20 core mechanic sold me on it. It was...

I'm still trying to figure out why Mordenkainen shaved his head. ;)

Thanks that makes sense to me.

One specific place it shows up is in the description of the Amazon warrior class in the Player's Guide. Under the AC bonus they get for the Battle Dancer class feature. I don't have my books with me atm...sorry. Thanks.

Hi, I recently purchased the Players Guide to the Wilderlands and the Caverns of Thracia from Judges guild. They make use of an omega symbol in some of the stat blocks and class descriptions in both books. I assume it represents a formula of some sort by the context I've seen, but I can't find...
