    The popularity of monsters - part II

    Arrowhawk - Nope. Stupid. Belker - Yes, fairly tough monster IMO. Chuul - Yes. Good grappler. They're in one of the mini-adventures for free on the WotC site IIRC. Digester - Killed every horse in the party with one! And left most of the party in low HP! Love these stupid looking freaks...

    New Dwarven Favoured Class?

    Without a miner base class, I still choose fighter.

    What Character Generator Is Your Favorite?

    It's not entirely user friendly, it'll will take some money, some time, and some effort to set it up properly, but e-tools by Code Monkey Publishing will do everything you're looking for. It's got nearly all the WotC books available as data sets. But you do have to pay for them all individually...

    Favorite Video Game Weapon!!!

    HEAVYYYYYY BARRRRRRELLLLLLL! The ball and chain from that game was a lot of fun too. I'm also a big fan of Chun-Li's Spinning Bird Kick. ;)

    RPG Podcasts I should be listening to?

    If you LARP at all, you really should check out "Gamer: the Podcasting"

    What are the 10 most important d20/OGL books?

    I have to say Book of Erotic Fantasy. Not because it was that great of a book, but because it actually forced a change in the d20 lisencing.

    Help with Gnomish Pirates

    Make sure to give your gnomish pirates the right feats to help them fight bigger foes, ie. swarfighting. I'd also give them poisoned weapons, and long range weapons. As has been pointed out, in melee, the gnomes just aren't going to dish out the damage needed to drop bigger foes unless you...

    Worst Value for Money RPG Purchase

    Hands down, the worst gaming product I ever bought was the old Shadowrun miniatures supplement DMZ. What a worthless waste of cash. As written the game was nearly unplayable. The fold-up counters included were awful. Worst of all, the game just didn't deliver what it promised. DMZ was supposed...

    D&D 4E Monte Cook: Rumor Control--Me and 4E

    Which makes total sense. A lot of people forget that Monte has done other VERY successful game projects - ie. Heroclix.

    How do we prepare to fight a dragon about which we know nothing?

    Have the party spellcasters load up on force spells, and things that do holy damage. Force should work on almost any dragon that would be appropriate for your level, barring things like a brooch of shielding, and from all accounts, the dragon sounds evil, so holy damage should work well too...

    Counterspelling -- Does It Work?

    Counterspelling is a great tactic for bards! Sure you can't cast 9th level spells like the wizard, but your caster level is just as high as an equally levelled wizard, so you can counter him all day! Add in Dispel and Greater Dispel, and the bard can really hinder opposing spellcasters. My gnome...

    Your Favorite RPG Supplement, for any Game, Period

    Universal Brotherhood for Shadowrun. Creative layout and presentation. Awesome plot twists. Great suspense. I'd also give a nod to Hunter the Reckoning: The Walking Dead for many of the same reasons.

    Role Playing products that failed

    It's called the Pokemon Jr. Adventure Game. It was published by WotC, and it really exists. Here's a review I actually picked this up at Wal-Mart to play with my nephews. They love it! Speaking of games that really exist, but bombed miserably. Anyone remember The Bullwinkle and Rocky Role...

    Damsel-of-Distress [Full]

    Thanks for the kind words all. Right now I barely have the strength to sit at the PC and type. That's likely to continue for some time, but I will keep checking in and update you all when the game resumes.

    Damsel-of-Distress [Full]

    Afraid I'm gonna have to drop out of the game. I'm having some rather serious health issues right now, and I have no time/patience/strength for the internet. Sorry if this throws the game a curve, but I really have no other choice. Good luck all! :D

    Best class mix for party of five or more?

    Bard. No doubt about it. He can fill in for any of the other roles. He's not as potent as the main class for that role, but he can backup everyone. And the Bardic Music buffs get pretty potent too.

    Transcendence Now - M&M Game [Resumed!]

    Motivations? Well, he's just gone from a puny nerd to a hulking frat-boy. He's interested in money, sex and power. I picture Beef as an object lesson in wish fulfillment. What would the stereo-typical gamer geek do if he suddenly became a powerful colossus, irresistable to the opposite sex...

    Transcendence Now - M&M Game [Resumed!]

    I'm VERY interested in getting in on this game! I've been reading the M&M 2e book since it came out, but haven't had a chance to play yet. I'm liking the campaign concept. I'm a little worried about the "Strikeforce: Morituri: vibe I'm getting though! ;) Here's my initial concept, and some...
