    now I know I am getting old

    I played in a group a few years ago that had one 40+ year old, her 14 year old daughter and friend, one guy in his late 30s, and the DM who was in his mid-twenties. I was around 30 at the time. It was a fun group, and despite the age differences we all got along quite well.

    Upcoming Releases. What Are You Really Looking Forward To?

    I highly doubt that DragOnline is going to be the official name for any site that isn't NSFW.

    Fantastic Steampunk

    Iron Kingdom's Lieber Mechanika has some neat stuff in it.

    Deck of Many things: Your best and worst moments

    My rogue drew the card which gives you a powerful extraplanar enemy, followed shortly thereafter by the void card. One of the other PCs draws the wishes card, and uses them to learn where my rogue's soul is being imprisoned (a crystal ball next to the throne of his new enemy, the demon lord...

    Other Game Systems

    Ah, you must be the other Mekton player I've heard of. Pleased to meet you. :)

    what is large and green.....

    Definitely a troll. If you look closely you can see the trademark long nose and weird Chia-pet cranium. Dunno why he's standing on the balls of his feet like that, though. Perhaps he's hoping the ancient red dragon won't spot and eat him.

    Looking for 3.5 "cheat sheets".

    I second what Winterthorn said. Thank you!

    Whats going on in your game?

    Last session, my PCs successfully made it to the true tomb of Zosciel (sp) in the Whispering Cairn (1st adventure in the AoW AP). They are now third level. Next session has been called off due to half the players having other commitments. I'm trying to decide whether I want to continue with...

    Urgent!

    Inspired by the TV show MXC: The arena floor is divided into multiple rooms and corridors with no celings, similar to a rat maze. Studded throughout this maze are doors, some real, some not. Some doors lead to other parts of the maze, some are booby-trapped, some lead to closets containing...

    [Eberron] Suspicions about Dal Quor

    Ooh, I like that! Imagine a kalashtar realizing this and deciding to wipe out all the dreaming races of Eberron once and for all, so that the next cycle can remain pure and clean forever. What an awesome villain that would make! Kinda ties in with my idea of kalashtar radicals seeking to...

    Mecha pen and paper

    Mekton Zeta has some excellent rules for designing your own mecha, and the combat system is a more streamlined version of what you find in Battletech. I highly recommend it.

    [OotS 444] Does he have the X's in his eyes?

    The trouble with raising Roy might not come from the availability of the spell, but the willingness to use it. Durkon might refuse to raise him on account of his glorious death in battle; doing so might go against his own ethics as a cleric of Thor(?). The paladins might feel similarly as...

    Lame Names

    Worst character name I can remember was my own! I once played a wizard named Garrison Keillor. I had no idea who he was at the time, but my dad had a boxed set of his radio show on the bookcase next to the computer, and I seized upon it for a name. This was many years ago, but the DM and I...

    When did you start using Greyhawk?

    My first GH game was RttToEE several years ago. Before then, it was almost exclusively homebrewed worlds as both player and DM, with the occassional DL or Birthright game thrown into the mix.

    Besides fantasy, what genre would you like to roleplay in?

    I've played almost nothing but D&D since 3.0 came out, so any genre other than fantasy would make for a nice change of pace. I'm partial to sci-fi/fantasy (Star Wars is a favorite, can't wait for Saga!), cyberpunk, and anime mecha roleplaying (Mekton, Jovian Chronicles). Personal horror...

    Pathfinder 1E Pathfinder and high level play

    If any adventures should be published, it should be the high level ones. Anybody can crank out a night's worth of goblin bashing and caravan guarding. An adventure challenging to high-level characters is a lot of work, which IMO is what turns most DMs off to high level play. I know I've read...

    [Eberron] Suspicions about Dal Quor

    I don't actually remember ever reading anything that suggests the Dal Quor cycle is light-dark-light-dark. There is a group of kalashtar who believe that the next incarnation of Dal Quor will be one of lightness and good, but that could simply be an optimistic reaction to the current...

    What will happen to the Demonomicon articles?

    Any word on who the subjects of those last two articles of Core Beliefs might be? It would be just my luck that one of the few gods not covered is one currently being worshipped by the cleric in my new campaign....

    Medusa & Mind Flayer "couple" - where is it?

    I immediately pictured a mind flayer with snakes instead of tentacles--a mindusa, if you will. Maybe eyeless snakes, just tentacles ending in fanged mouths. Ooh! Its mind blast doesn't stun you, it turns you to stone! Well, your outer shell, anyways. Picture the mindusa as it uses its...

    Blizzcon 2007

    I live in Southern California, and while I wanted to go to BlizzCon, the $100 price tag was--and is--absolutely ridiculous. Unless they cut the price by at least half, I won't be going this year either.
