    How do you pronounce "Sahuagin"?

    I've always pronounced it sah-HEY-gin. I went to elementary school with a guy named Mike Sahaguin, and I figured it was close enough. :) Besides, I always liked kuo-toa better. :p

    We need to talk

    That's right, a one is still a one, no matter who your opponent is.

    D&D 4E Default setting for 4E?

    I voted Greyhawk. Not so much because Greyhawk is my favorite setting, but because it is the epitome of what D&D is to me. It's always seemed weird to me that D&D was a "generic fantasy" game. Most games that aren't 100% generic (GURPS, HERO, etc.) have a built-in world/setting, and the rules...

    A thought on Cauldron

    Well, it is kind of a crappy adventure so far.... But then, I hate dungeon crawls with the fury of a thousand burning suns.

    So, Whatever Happened to Fafhrd and Greymouser?

    When you say "books," do you mean the short story collections or the comics? Mike Mignola did the comic adaptations of a couple of the stories through Epic Comics back in the early '90s...I'd love to get a TPB of those. My issues are old and worn-out, and I fear for their continued existence...

    Got to use a (limited) wish!

    I can't remember the specifics of them, but I do remember spending almost an entire session writing out a Wish and poring over the words again and again to make sure there was nothing to DM could use to screw us. This was 2nd Edition, and there was effectively no limit to what a Wish could...

    Is there any way to change alignment?

    Probably the closest you're going to find in black and white are these two sentences from page 104 of the PHB: "Choosing an aliignment for your character means stating your intent to play that character a certain way. If your character acts in a way more appropriate to another alignment, the...

    Make up some funny quotes!

    I'm glad mine wasn't the only group to have made this mistake. Took three of us to touch it before the fourth one said, "ookaaay, maybe that's not such a good idea."

    Make up some funny quotes!

    "I have this spell, called Air Walk? It lets you walk on air." "He must have written this before he died."

    What to run... what to run

    If you're starting with the Freeport Trilogy (a nice, solid choice, I might add), you could easily segue into the Savage Tide AP.

    Compelling the PC's to an unknown destination... how?

    If you don't want them to leave the underground civilization, simply have the entrance collapse behind them.

    Should character advancement be linear or logarithmical?

    I think it should be linear, but I disagree that the current system is linear. It takes an average of 1-1 1/2 sessions to go from 1st level to 2nd, and from 2nd to 3rd. It's so bad I don't even bother having people start lower than 3rd level anymore.

    What's your Favorite Kind of Player?

    This thread is depressing, because the only player I know like that is me. :\

    Anyone else notice Goatse in the fantasy money?

    Your .sig works perfectly with that pic, cap'n.

    Is this fair?

    That's ridiculous! Not only was a major character-altering decision left in the hands of another player, but the decision made was so far from the character's personality as to be completely against type. It sounds like the group decided to punish you for leaving early. If I were you, I would...

    OotS #372 is up

    I've always played it as an immunity to fear effects. A paladin can still be naturally afraid, suffer from self-doubt, etc. Otherwise, they're kender with the Smite ability. :confused:

    Campaigns in a nutshell. Adventures in a sentence.

    Armored Legend World: The aelven empire once ruled the entire world, but is now a pale shadow of its former glory. In their search for a way to replace their depleted natural resources, aelven explorers discoved the bones of titans buried in the earth near the shadowlands. The Imperial...

    A Whole New Magic System?

    My friend and I once tried coming up with a system like this, based on the idea of Spheres from White Wolf's Mage: the Ascension. In the end, we scrapped it, feeling that it was too versatile, it gave wizards too much power.

    Generic term for a type of god or spirit

    Since you're talking about animism , why not use anima?

    The dumbest place you have seen a trap.

    We were recently exploring an old abandoned gnomish colony when we came across what was obviously a classroom for children. Desks, a chalkboard, the whole nine yards. We entered the classroom through a secret door, and when we tried to leave via the main entrance, the rogue was blasted with...
