I really didn't like the Dragonlance modules I played. I read the books before I ventured in the modules and knew too much about the adventures ahead to make me feel comfortable. Besides they would be hard to convert into your generic campaign setting. ~Marimmar

I hope I can get around wielding a reach weapon just because all my enemies are pole arm experts. As a DM I often got the impression that my players tend to be as agressive as possible, wielding large weapons and sacrificing AC for offense. Since all it takes for a monster like a troll or...

Just another thing that came to my mind. I never actually came to play it (I prepared it though but then our campaign broke up) but the <b>H1-4 Bloodstone</b> campaign would be neat for the 15-Epic gameplay. ~Marimmar

For Starters I'd recommend <b>Under Illefarn</b>, just to get the party up to level 2, then continue with the UK modules <b>The Sentinel</b> and <b>Gauntlet</b> followed by <b>When a Star Falls</b> and ending the middle levels with <b>When Dark Clouds Gather</b>. By the end of that your party...

I'll give 3.5 a chance to prove itself superior to 3.0. Should we find stoopid things like the old <i>haste</i> spell, we'll nerf it. The new <i>haste</i> looks a bit dangerous since our parties consist of 7 players + animal companions and thus could be a tremendous power boost. Only time will...

Well it will take a lot of that to bring Brok Rock down, until then my magic wielding buddies can lay the smack down on those 'lobbers'. :D

As a DM I liked the desert of desolation series but my players hated it, so I'll go for: UKx - When Dark Clouds Gather and maybe X4/5 - Master of the Desert Nomads though we haven't finished the 2nd part yet. Though my players loathed it too 'Queen of the Demon Web Pits' became somewhat...

Hi Ffolks! I'm currently playing a dwarven fighter on it's way to becoming a dwarven defender and was looking for other people's experience with that PrC. Brok Rock (my PC) is currently level 3 and trying to maximise his AC since he regards defense as the basis for a good offense. He's...

Oh come on, my 1e PHB lost it's spine when I pulled it out of the shelf and I don't want to comment on the wreckage that my softcover 1e MM1 is (more tape than book.) The 2nd printing 1e DMG is of excellent quality though, even better than the 2e Core books. ~Marimmar

I pity you. :D ~Marimmar

Worst off is my DMG since it got accidentally dropped and the covers are coming off because of that, next is my PHB which is still in pretty good shape since I mostly prepare everything at my computer and use a pdf version of the PHB most of the time. Since I put all the monsters in the SRD into...

I'm gonna keep mine. When 3.5 appears in german language I will retire the old books to the shelf where my 1e/2e stuff is collecting dust. It seems not be a very good idea to switch to 3.5 immediately when half of your players are not fluent in the english language, so I'll just wait for the...

Battles need to be challenging and even more importantly interesting for the players. When time permits I try to modify battles in a module so that the players can experience something new. For me as a DM it is not so much power gaming, it is trying out something new combined with efficient...

I voted 'No', unless something is covered by the rules it won't happen but fortunately under 3e rules a lot of things are possible. Last time something outrageous happened was when our Monk jumped off a boat onto the druid's animal companion crocodile ran along it and jumped onto the shore to...

Well, I enjoy reading this stuff more than actually posting but I try to be better. :) ~Marimmar (long time lurker)

I voted for 6 players including the DM since that's the number of people that fits around an average size table. We currently play with 8 people which is by far too much for my taste. :( ~Marimmar

I voted Monk this time. Last time someone asked for worst class I answered Bard but since then I've taken a closer look at the class and reconsidered my opinion. The Monk is something of an anathema for me. First of all it doesn't fit in a normal campaign, second: his reliance on physical...

Definitely the 'Buttkicker' DM type. Me and my players like to have a good fight. When there's a intriguing story between fights it's even better but we don't like role-playing and puzzle solving all day. Kicking butt is most of the fun for us. :D Naturaly most of our characters are combat...

Ahem, well right now I prefer playing fighter types and the Rogue/Ranger was my attempt at playing a Rogue that could hold his own in a direct confrontation. I currently do not like to play wizard types since my first AD&D (2e) character lasted for about a decade of playing RPGs. I'm a bit sick...

The only archers I've seen so far all use mighty bows and have a Strength bonus, even if it's a small one. If he really needs to deal bludgeoning damage he could also take quickdraw as his next feat and use clubs as thrown weapons. That would be an interesting character concept. The dual...
