    I prefer the "When in doubt" guidelines: When in doubt, NG! (: Most **players** prefer a harmonious group and to play at the same time. PCs who "go on their own" are typically chaotic, and this peeves **other players** to no end. Most PCs are good or neutral. Evil PCs are... obvious. Also...

    "5 Reasons Your Kids Should Play Dungeons and Dragons."

    Kurtz **should** date his articles. He even stopped writing rants about a year ago! Otherwise, great website. Fun comic books, too! Cedric. aka. Washu! ^O^

    What to do with a cat?

    Send emails to each of the **other** players saying: "I will give each of you 50 bonus xp per game session if, regardless of what I do with the cat to a particular player, you act as if **it was just a cat**" Everything I learned from roleplaying I eventually stole from Paranoia. (; Cedric...

    Too many feats? (or - Why is this a feat?)

    Excellent post. As someone who's had to patch AD&D with many a house rule, Feats offer a patch without requiring changing the core mechanics. That's a good thing -- your players don't have to be persuaded to accept additional rules to an existing system. I'd like to add that if you find a Feat...

    EQ DMG: Boo-yeah! (:

    Re: Re: EQ DMG: Boo-yeah! (: ??? -- My first impression is that the EQ DMG can be easily used without the EQ PHB. The GM advice is certainly rules-independent. The faction / quest rules can be integrated into the d20 system. The trade skills require that you incorporate the Trade skills into...

    Taking names: A city for EN World

    The annual festival would include, of course. Morrus dancing. Cedric. aka. Washu! ^O^

    EQ DMG: Boo-yeah! (:

    This is the book I wish was released first! Here's the lowdown on the previous EQ RPG books: * EQ PHB: Not worth making compatible with D&D PHB. * EQ MM: Unispiring monsters. Lik 30HD mermaids. As for the EQ DMG (EQ Game Masters Guide), it's a campaign book, GM advice, new mechanics and...

    Sunless Citadel question: opening a can of wyrms..spoilers)

    I was going to say "let your little brother play the dragon as an NPC", but Zad pretty much said the same thing. (; Cedric. aka. Washu! ^O^

    The Book of Curses

    Introduction "Curses are unjust, but none are random." This quote is from Rogan R. Hamby's "Book of Curses", by Heyoka Studios. The PDF is 64 pages long. Some content is for mature readers only (see the Sybarist, below) and the book includes a picture of a nude woman. The introduction to the...

    Gamist / Narrativist / Simulationist?

    I'm a GM, principally for Paranoia and Call of Cthulhu. I guess that my style of play, then, would be "sadist". Cedric. aka. Washu! ^O^

    [OT] creationism/evolution.. right to choose?

    RPGnet also has a Tangency forum you might be interested in. Cedric. aka. Washu! ^O^

    Arcane Magic, Divine Magic, Nature Magic and Psionics are too much alike.

    Agreed. IIRC, AEG's Magic tries to make magic more differentiated. EQ RPG has its mana pool (although all casters still use it) and its bard spells are cast differently than other spellcasters. Cedric. aka. Washu! ^O^

    A gaming moment

    I knew 3e was an improvement over 2e, but I didn't realize it was THAT good. (: Cedric. aka. Washu! ^O^

    3.5e "Unearthed Arcana"

    I'm still bemused that fantasy is a genre that's inconsistent, at best, in fiction writing and media, yet in D&D, we somehow **need** The One True Way of Fantasy. IMO, Beyond combat rules, I doubt it really matters if one player plays a 3.0 Ranger, while another plays a 3.x one. Sure, some...

    [OT, Valentine's Day] What are you doing for your sweety?

    Put it on your website in March! (: Thank goodness I have no sweetie. Midterms end Tuesday **night**, I'm invited to an "anti-Valentine's Day" Friday night, Saturday is anime, and Sunday is DunDraCon (see you at the Cheapass booth)! That leaves Wednesday and Thursday. But Wednesday I'll be...

    How Do I Get My Players to be More Descriptive?

    Another suggestion: SnarfQuest d20 only awards XP when the PC **tells another person** (and not just a player!) about his battle. You don't get XP for adventuring. You get XP for bragging about it! (: Hmm. Anyone here played Baron Munschausen? (: Cedric. aka. Washu! ^O^

    Choices to be made...things to ponder.

    Yet another option is to put the d20 information online, as well as **some** dual stat info in the book, and the rest online. Pros and Cons for presenting the information this way abound. Cedric. aka. Washu! ^O^

    [CoC] WotC Support?

    My two bits is to just buy the Chaosium BRP (non-20) CoC adventures if you can find one at a good price. It's **very** easy to make a d20 CoC monster or NPC on the fly: If it can kill a PC in one round and is immune to most weapons, it's not powerful enough. (: Cultists, of course, are all first...

    what ESDs should I buy?

    Dragonstar felt a bit bland for a setting. OTOH, It's meant to incorporate **all** D&D settings into it, so it's not detailed to the point where you have to rewrite your current campaign. Crazy ideas back at you: Space 1889 and GURPS Steampunk. You might get away with the technology and guns...

    [OT] What kind of dog do you have?

    Another possibility is a retired guide dog. Retired Guide Dog FAQ: http://www.thepuppyplace.org/page11.html Cedric. aka. Washu! ^O^
