Steve Prescott is my current favorite, but Todd Lockwood and WAR are faves as well.

While Lhazaar is presented as the Pirate Kingdom, it seems to me that the sea between Khorvaire and Xen'drik would be better suited for pirate activity. After all, pirates need something to steal, and I don't see a lot of sea traffic happening between Khorvaire and anywhere else. Xen'drik is...

I like an even mix of action and roleplaying. Action doesn't necessarily imply combat, either--chases, trap disarming, as long as it's active.

Wow, I haven't thought of that song in ages!

If I had to guess (and since I'm no expert, guessing is all I've got), I would say that demons are more popular than devils because demons are more iconic. Just as LG is seen as the epitome of goodness, so is CE seen as the epitome of evil. Plus demons are cooler. A lot of devils just seem...

I have had a similar experience. Several years ago, I was in a D&D campaign. The group was comprised of nearly all of my gamer friends. The DM was running Return to the Temple of Elemental Evil, which is basically one humongous dungeon crawl. Well, by about 8th level, I was bored to tears...

The first three levels are usually blasted through in a single session each. From 4-6, usually around 2-3 sessions each. After that, it's anywhere from 4-7 sessions until we hit the low-to-mid 'teens (13-15), then it goes back to once every 3-4 sessions. I've never run/played a game where...

I played a paladin who fell and then redeemed himself. It wasn't the most dramatic of falls. He simply woke up one day to find he no longer had his abilities. It was lots of little things that just built up to him losing his paladin status. The DM had me make a list of all of the reasons...

My (2nd edition) paladin quested for and found a unicorn for my special mount. It was unusual because it could fire a ray of searing light out of its horn. Later I discovered that it was actually a quicksilver dragon that had polymorphed itself into a unicorn for reasons unknown, and the...

My memorable percentile moment came not with a 00, but with a 01. The party was on board an airship floating above a city that was being overrun with monsters. The monsters were issuing out of a gate which the PCs were unable to close or destroy. As they watched on, helpless, I asked if...

Off-topic, but I have to say I am amused (and proud!) to see you link Alan Emrich's site. Mr. Emrich teaches video game design at my school (Art Institute of Orange County) and I was fortunate enough to have him last quarter. Great guy, amazing speaker. It would take some real effort to get...

I've always seen FR as an evolution of Greyhawk without the goofy names. Where Greyhawk left stuff blank, FR filled in the blanks. As I see it, there's no reason to merge the two; if you don't like the details provided for you, take them out and put in your own answers. I'd rather have a...

Nonsense! It's an epic-level gaze attack spell for Zoolander d20.

For me, Fighter/swashbuckler/scout worked as a nice alternative to the duellist PrC. For one thing, you can still wear armor; even with a high Int, by the time you get enough levels to get the full bonus from Canny Defense, you will in all likelihood have a set of light armor that gives the...

Wow...I was planning to use a system identical to yours in the next (Eberron) game I run. Great minds think alike, I guess. :) How do you determine the availability of existing magic items from House Kundarak? I was thinking a percentage chance based on the market value of the item as well as...

Here's an interesting site I came across last year. It talks about giants as described in the Bible and also giant skeletons found (documented or otherwise) throughout history: http://www.stevequayle.com/Giants/index2.html In all cases, the skeletons seem to be similar if not identical to...

Charm Person + low-Wis humanoids = free followers. :)

Daydream Believer [General] Preqrequisite: Character must have taken at least one level in the Homecoming Queen PrC.

My swashbuckler used to spend all his reward money on ale and whores, but he quickly fell behind the power curve of the rest of the party. I miss the days when magic items weren't so easily accessible, leaving PCs with large sums of cash and nothing to do with it but invest in businesses, build...

I've run into one of these things in nearly every D&D game I've ever played. The first time, my thief (back when they were still called thieves :)) got a follower and a keep, but then got the void; thankfully, one of the other players used one of his wishes to teleport us to the place where my...
