    Races of Destiny: Buying/Bought?

    I did unfortunately I would have to say that Races of Stone was better IMHO. The Races books are not up to the "Complete" series as far as overall usefullness.

    D&D 3.0/3.5 <> earlier eds. re : min-maxing

    of course 1st and 2nd ed had min/max issues What I love about 3/3.5 is that fighter types are not all clones. In 1st/2nd ed all Smart Fighters/paladin/rangers had longsword longbow and mace as their starting weapons. Of course some people would vary these choices but I would bet that 95% of...

    I found a site with more biast opinions about how DnD is Satanic

    not this again 1st of all did anyone else notice that there was not a more current "example" than 1988? 2nd I doubt this guys claim to teaching TSR employees spell rituals because I have never seen a ritual in any of the 3 editions I own. Inconclusion I plan to contact a former owner...

    The Nature of "Lawful"

    First of all everyone one seems to get hung up on the word lawful. What the term means to me in the sense of alignment means "ordered", because if you used it to mean lawabiding than Lawful-Evil would be a next to impossible combination. Lawful evil to me equates somewhat like the Mafia...

    Have you ever been DMed by a famous game designer? The EGG or Monte?

    EGG was a good dm other Tsr old timers were as well Shortly after moving to Milwaukee in 1978, I attended "Spring Revel" at the American Legion Hall in Lake Geneva. I remember playing in a game run by Gary. At the time I know I was impressed maybe it was the fanboy in me. I do remember 1 of...

    My Paladin killed a child molester (and now my DM wants to take away my powers!)

    1st let me say that I disagree with the DM because as long as you didn't slay an innocent then you were in the right. I seem to remember an old DRAGON article in which EGG said lawful good does not equal stupid. And regardless of what your DM said you as the PC didn't know if that might not have...

    DMs: How do your players show their appreciation for what you do?

    My group pays off with goodies. I don't have to supply my own munchies and they have even gone so far as to make real meals to share as well. We almost always have a cook-out gaming session each summer where we play outside and grill steaks burgers etc. Ah its good to be the dm

    How many Missed sessions till a game dies?

    I have to vote never. My campaign has been going since 1980 and has survived despite Players enlisting in the military (and rejoining after) and others who moved out of state ( 4 different players) with all having since returned to jump right back into the fray. We have had wives and girlfriends...
