IMC, the natural order rebeled and created the elves and dwarves to unite the native races against the chaotic invaders and their degenerate races. The elves were the defacto leaders and cleansed the world of such creatures except in the underdark where divinations fail and it could not even be...

Make everything accessable, either through the SRD or at least print it in sourcebooks. A single setting book for the various genres would do: Greyhawk, Planescape, Spelljammer, etc. In said books, style would follow much like the original box set of FR. Lots of rumors, and plot hooks provided...

Although I've always wanted to go since the 80's, this will be my first year because a game I helped with is coming out and I decided I'd better just experience it once at least. I expect to try and meet as many people and possible at the stealth con to put faces to enworld icons.

In high school, we played every Sat and it was simply a case of "bring a character of X-y level and I'll run everybody through this module". No continuality or campaigns really although people played with the same characters from week to week so the level of the dungeons raised with them. In...

I'm not sure how much has changed between editions since as editions changed, so have I aged. Each edition I associate with an age group and I can't really tell if thing have changed because of the editions or age. The one thing I have noticed is less house rules. 1E and B/E had lots of house...

Tarzan can read just fine. In fact, he learned to read before he could speak English from the baby and adult books his parents had brought with them. His first encounters with the English that found him was through the signs he put up warning them off and via writing once contact was made. Also...

Exactly, and anyway, the lawful character probably not ready to ditch the party to become a captain of this. What happens once the crew figures out that the Captain's old friends aren't really crew? I don't see things changing much because none of the crew are going to mistake themselves for...

We'll see once the chaotic character flips him the bird infront of the crew and see if he has him disciplined or not.

We've had a LE monk character in our party since creation. We're now 8th level and just now found it out when some outsider cast some good smiting spells and it didn't affect him. Wasn't a surprise, mind you, but it was never caused any trouble in the party.* Well, not really. He is playing a...

I'd go with monster character classes ala Savage Species (and soem Dragon articles). However, allowing them to level in other classes before finishing the monster levels and even limiting or requiring advancement in monster levels according to in game age of characters in cases. No turning from...

It's a hard questions to answer because of how I run my games. They can of course die. They can also perhaps choose unobtainable goals, but in the course of things, I've probably told them they are unobtainable so are doing so for RP reasons. In the greater scheme of things, I don't usually set...

Played it once. Seemed pretty fun. Essencially D&D with all damage and hit points rounded to 5 hit points and rules printed on cards. If they came out with rules so that it could be played as a RPG/Dungeon style game with character advancement (and non-random minis), I might think about playing...

Probably between $50-$100 in new hardback rule books. I do't buy their novels. i don't buy miniatures. I've got enough books that I don't feel the need for any more unless they really feel inspired, something in them seems really useful, or they're on sale. Last year, i probably bought five WotC...

You tell the players that the creature has DR as soon as it happens. If you want to give it flavor text, then do so as you wish, but in either case, my interpretation of the rule is that anytime DR takes off damage, the player and character are made aware of it. Claiming that because some damage...

There was one long running D&D campaign I was in with a really good DM, except, about once a game session (which ran from noon to midnight every Sun), would get into an arguement with a player. It was about 50/50 who I thought was in the wrong for any given arguement, but once it started, I knew...

I'd disagree on holding off on Magic Missle. As a non-spell caster, the time I'm usually yelling at the mage to cast a spell instead of use their X-bow at 1st and other low levels is when damage absolutely, positively needs to be done as soon as possible because the fighter is having a hard time...

Usually, in the games I've been in and run lately, it's all been in large cities. Once everybody gets to a suitably large city that it is determined that such items can be bought and sold, they are. It all happens off screen in an undetermined amount of downtime. Even running it this way, it can...

It's isn't something a player ought to know and the time we played it, we didn't know it. However, it all became too clear as the scene was played out. Perhaps our DM mishandled it, but it also seems from what everybody else is saying that most other DMs did also or that is simply the way the...

Well, I think that what a commoner makes compared to today's equivilent is a whole different discusion. Suffice to say that a commoner of even a LG D&D world is not equivilent to even lower class American standard of lifestyle. That you are trying to mix the two without first even establishing a...

No, in the real world, it's like going to a real salon and getting your hair done right with some decent product rather than going to the mall Supercuts.
