Is there a good list of FLGS in London and England anywere on the web that anyone knows of? Failing that, any recommendations of 'must-visit' stores? Particularly ones with decent stashes of OOP material?

It's answered in either the 3.0 or 3.5 FAQ, in the affirmative (caster level increases, and wizards get their extra spells).

There were some guidelines in Epic Level Handbook. We're using a variant on that suggestion - it's something like no one item can be more than 50%, the top three items can't use more than 75%, and the remaining items can't be worth more than 10%. I don't have the book at work, so can't check...

The golden age for me is double digits through early 100's. Would publication numbers be a good 'objective' measure here? Anyone collated that information from the issues that have that information?

I think it's complex. I personally feel that system does not necessarily dictate style of play. It's like genetics - certain genes may make it more likely that you'll develop diabetes, a heart condition, etc - but it's not guaranteed (and not being a genetics expert, I may have that wrong)...

87 - Terms that people use to describe rpg games, playing styles etc, that can have different contextual meanings (role-playing can be used both to denote 'playing a role-playing game' and 'getting into the role of a character'), different meanings, or that have different connotations to...

Same here. I don't think I've ever seen a GM tear up a character sheet. I've seen a playful cat shred most of one corner of a character sheet before, but that's about as close as it comes.

It would irritate me. I'd be inclined to suggest letting the player know something like: "In our group, players don't just 'exchange cash for gems' on the fly - I'd rather you'd run that past me and I'll let you know if you can find a gemcutter or jeweller and so on - depending on what you're...

I'm not a subscriber. I'm one of those folk who have the FLGS put aside and hold a copy for me of both magazines. While I find Dungeon incredibly useful (either in terms of running the adventures 'as is' or for mining for pregenerated NPC and creature stats) and keep my backissues accessible...

Valentin Cleod, Tamra Iaglasts, Alvan Tidwell, Keven Varner, Keren Malina, Kristopher Whaley, Veola Crews, Dilion Castillo, Galen Hackett, Malinda Keck, Alejandro Pence, Jolyn Fichtner, Amado Zavanna, Alden Payne... ..ok, so some aren't as fantasy as others - but I find having names that are...

Spammity, spammity, SPAM! I get a lot of my NPC names from Spam (as in the unsolicited commercial email kind). I have several levels of spam filter on one of my email accounts, and tend to vet the emails in the 'least likely to be spam, but probably still spam' spam filter personally. Since...

Thanks for that Treebore - I suspect my position's similar - I'll buy the Starter Deck (if I can find an FLGS in Australia/NZ that stocks it), but the expansions don't sound like they're worth chasing.

I do it anytime a number comes out that sounds questionable, whether I'm DM or not. There's been several times I've questioned "Wow - how'd you get that high?" "How's that rule/skill/feat/spell work?" "Uh oh (looking in book) it says here that you should only have a +2 bonus/that only works...

Any chance of a summary or recollection of the discussion?

The problem with this poll? Terminology. I see Roleplaying (I don't tend to use the hyphen) used to mean two separate things: Roleplaying: To play a roleplaying game (whether tabletop, computer, complex, simple, etc) Roleplaying: To play a role, whether in a roleplaying game or some other...

Low levels: backpack, horses, mules. Mid levels: backpack, bags of holding, handy haversack, cohorts, horses, mules. High levels: bags of holding, handy haversack, cohorts, followers, mounts, strongholds. While none of my gaming groups has had anyone who really cared about encumbrance, we...

It's also important to Turkey - since Ataturk established his reputation fighting on the Turkish side of the campaign. I wouldn't be surprised to find an American RPG author wouldn't know of the significance of the Gallipoli campaign to Australia, New Zealand, Turkey, or even the British (since...

D20 Modern allows the use of Taking 10 with respect to Craft checks. Is there anything in the 3.0 or 3.5 published works that discusses this? I had a look in the FAQs (3.0 and 3.5) and couldn't see anything - and couldn't find anything that says yay or nay in the core rules... anyone know of...

Where as I can imagine that happening, likening it to a graduate student putting in some extreme effort to finish off some piece of work... ...I have to conclude (given the lack of any 'why we did things this way' 'what our assumptions behind this were' text) that it's as vague as it is to...

Would you consider yourself knowledgable about the Christian Religion? I suspect the problem with puzzles like this is that the GM really needs to make the puzzles fit the players, rather than the puzzles fit the characters, unless they plan to let the players roll some dice and have their...
