    "It's a joke name, sir."

    JDyal Josh, I'm really disappointed that you didn't throw out the ever lovable character we currently game with.......Rosham Bo. Of course his negotiating skills and conflict disputes with rock, paper, scissors are astounding. I always loved my friend's duelist named Xes Laro from Way, Way...

    Where to find the best modern miniatures?

    I was curious if anyone had found a good supplier of modern miniatures. I know most of the standard miniature makers: Reaper, Ironwind metal, Games Workshop, etc. I've searched the net and always tend to find war game miniatures. These are usually historical and at best are WWII. I'm looking...

    Props

    My modern game includes multiple pictures of evidence during a police investigation. Pictures of bodies, buildings, maps of homes, locations of crimes (pictures of places taken in my home city). It really enhances the game. I also like to have the internet available on my wireless network so...

    d20 Past art gallery up...

    The art looks spectacular. As for the nudity, Oh, no there goes goes the neighborhood........ :eek: Based on some people's expressed disappointment I'm curious as to what people would want from this product? Some of the most popular genres as JPL said are, pirates/swashbucklers, Victorian...

    I thought that was the ninja druid. http://www.realultimatepower.net/index4.htm Facts: 1. Ninjas are mammals. 2. Ninjas fight ALL the time. 3. The purpose of the ninja is to flip out and kill people.

    A little help from Detroit Gameday attendees

    Man, I wish you would have figured that out about 3 days ago. Unfortunately he went the way of a paper shredder just like all the other papers on my desk after the monthly cleaning. I normally don't like to get rid of characters, but since he wasn't my own and was only used in a one...

    Please help - cliches needed

    There used to be a game called Tales of The Floating Vagabound. I never played it, but my friend had the books and it was hillarious. It was a hero sci-fi game totally based on humor. You would buy skills (called schtick) like melodramatic music. Whenever a character with this power would...

    DM prep time with D&D

    I think someone can be intimidated by a number of factors, but they're are ways to minimize them. 1. The amount of material can be overwhelming. I would suggest you use the KISS theory. Keep It Simple Stupid. (Note this is not an insult, but a joke on the philosophy of how I DM). The more...

    Evil Parties - and Evil PC's - A Discussion

    Whenever this subject comes up I always have the same answer. Drop the alignment system and see what happens. Everyone has different opinions regarding what is good and evil. I find that people tend to be more reasonable in their approach to things. For instance with no alignment my group's...

    sniff sniff...Do I smell 2nd edition mistakes?

    I guess my point was that there weren't any kits written into the 2e players handbook and DMG. To me that makes them more of an option if you will. I agree that many of them were very broken. The complete series has more of a reason to be incorporated into the game since it's providing feats...

    TSR Q&A with Gary Gygax

    As a urologist, I hope you can understand my disdain of kidneys or a least my disdain of eating them. Thanks for getting a kid to read. I'll be the first to say a Gygaxian vocabulary will get you somewhere in life. At least now I can really annoy my wife by talking with the creator of the...

    sniff sniff...Do I smell 2nd edition mistakes?

    While agree with you that the rampant cross pollination of the old edition is something I won't miss, there does seems to be a lot of repetition with this edition. Material (ie feats, spells, etc) are reprinted in multiple sources. This is good that you don't have to buy another book to make...

    The (new) ENworlder age poll!

    Me too. Merric seems to have such poor poll timing. Now in a month or two things might play out differently.

    Player Tryouts

    JDyal: Well as JDyal's "new guy" I'll give you my perspective as it might help. I went to a Detroit Gameday which was great. I had never went to an organized event before. I'm not sure how to meet new gamers if you don't have an event like this in your area. I guess you could talk to...

    New In-Game Slang Based On Your Games

    Get the spoon Reference to the Gates of Firestorm peak. I believe it was Spriggans guarding the 10 foot high stone wall. When you would approach they would morph into giant size and would arm themselves with halberds. Any attempt to climb the wall would result in being struck by a deadly...

    What PDFs have you bought that revolutionized you D20 Modern Game

    My question starts with what PDFs have revolutionized your D20 modern game or made you say wow I'm really glad I bought that? The reason I ask is that I'm not a PDF kind of guy. I've bought very few up to this point and I'll tell you why. For some reason I don't like to pay for information...
