Besides this forum and others like it for other demographics, my social life is planned around: LiveJournal MySpace Tribes ModelMayhem Deviant Art Pretty much everybody I know is on LJ or MySpace, which is a large group of people from their 20's to 40's across the country. Almost everybody I...

In 1E D&D, the DM dropped a dragon on the 6th level party. Completly meant to make us run and hide which everybody did except for the thief. He raises his crossbow and states "I aim for the left eye" and the dragon dives for him and the rest of the party scrambles to run away. Using the DMs...

I think it will mostly stay the same. Monsters and characters will be rebuilt for more of a miniatures skrimish point of view. This will probably change some of the mechanics signifficantly from 3.x. My guess is that magic will be out there, and you'll see something like reserve feats added...

Well, humans are usually male or female but hermaphrodites have actually existed as well as many other conditions that would count as gender anomalies. With the life cycle of the mindflayer being the taking over of another creatures body of just about any humanoid (IIRC), I can only imagine...

Haven't been in an honest Monty haul campaign for a long time. Probably since high school. In a game I was in two years ago, the DM did give out special weapons to everybody. They all had special powers which would shut down any enemy pretty quickly. For example, my pixie got 40 "demon quill...

Yep, old PCs end up as NPCs all the time. My old PCs usually end up dispensing the plot hooks, while other people's PCs end up being used for flavor. Since I've seen them played and possibly have stats and character sheets, it's easy to role play them and give them a persobnality beyond the...

You have a carrot shaped nose and regenerate. Editted to add: You post about controversial issues and deliberatly use wording to provoke knee jerk responces. If this was the only post of yours like this, I wouldn't even notice. Lately (and possibly earlier), all your threads have been like...

It all depends on how the DM wants to run his game. I'm played in games where whatever you encoutner is level appropriate and the townspeople and NPCs all seem to level up with the characters. Personally, I don't like that type of play as a player or DM. I find nothing less satisfying that...

Steven Brust's Jhereg series pretty much seems to go there IIRC. However, people threatened by people with such tactics usually have the resources to put up defences.

That's for the DM and the group to decide. There are things worse than death, and slavery and many other things that could happen to a character without their permission. All players and DMs will handle the subjects differently. If I was DM, I'd simply explain that failure in this adventure...

I want that one. It would actually make those obscure modules playable since I don't feel like stating out things like Aspis.

Come up with a couple of NPCs. Decide what they are going to be doing in the time period of the campaign and how it will change the world of the PCs. Figure out how to inform the PCs of these changes and see if they wish to aid or hinder them in their efforts. Perhaps all the said NPCs at some...

I'd say go less with the viking sailing idea and go more torwards Norse religion. Lolth and her spider form make a decent replacement for Odin and his eight legged horse. Eight legged horse and spider both being symbolic of a coffin being carried by four men. Change the Drow mythology so it is...

You could go with more a ERB flavor and just have tranport to the different worlds via portals, death, secret caves, or some other fairly unexplained phenomenon. Or go with HG Wells style platform but the machine travels to planets or dimentions instead of time. You could also just shoot them...

So long as the players can choose to engage in terms that favor them only, they will. Either take the advantage away from them or force them to act. Monsters flee instead of fighting until reinforcements are gathered and buffs run out. Monsters figure out what is going on and leave the dungeon...

Since there's already threads for Drow and the Demonweb pits, I figured i'd go ahead and pop up with a thread looking for ideas for my homebrew. I've changed the Drow and Lolth a bit, but still like the name of "demonweb pits" and want to keep them and know what their function is but have no...

*whimper* ...I liked the giant mechanical spider... ...but I supose that it does make more sence that everything in the outer planes which is in contact and communication with untold planes of all types in the material world by sake of decending souls if nothing else, maintains a pusedo...

Why do I have this image of the kobold from OotS wearing lederhosen, wearing a funny hat, and holding a stein of beer?

As a DM, I liked it. It held all my papers and notes on the game. Any notes I took were readable to me later. It acted as a Dm screen so that only I could read my papers and notes that I was either reading or had on the table. I tried it as a player and it was interesting. I always knew where...

In the one high level game I had, which was composed to an entire party of 1E magic-user/<somethingelse>, they would either create magic items that were tailored to known specific foes (Arrow of Red Dragon Slaying) or even create new spells (Frostball, which was like fireball but did cold...
