    Official Nostalgia Thread (thread necromancy)

    I still use a modified version of this now. It looks like it is older than the Dead Sea scrolls, since I ripped it out of the magazine about 20 years ago. It now has a plastic sheet protector over it. My contribution: Level limits for demi-humans, different varieties of halfling, the Soul...

    Strange Sight @ Home

    Well, he was walking lines back and forth across both my yard and the neighbor who found the nest's yard. Nobody was sure if they were poisonous and all I was were dead and somewhat... umm... incomplete snake carcasses. DM

    Your vocabulary

    I have the same problems. People hate playing Boggle or Scrabble with me. Actually, any word game for that matter. It greatly annoys my wife when I tell her, "I learned that word from D&D when I was twelve." or something along those lines. Gary Gygax was my greatest vocabulary teacher. In high...

    Strange Sight @ Home

    I pulled into my driveway this afternoon after being trounced soundly on Halo 2 and was greeted by a strange and somewhat alarming sight. There is a large older stereotypically southern looking (read: obvious redneck) man standing in my yard with a gun in his hand and there are lots of...

    Non-dunegon crawl mega modules?

    I think the Vault of Larin Karr is not so much of a dungeon crawl. DM

    Has anyone tried Grim-n-Gritty Hit Point and Combat Rules, Version 4.0

    I read them and when I used G&G I rejected them in favor of v. 3.6. 4.0 is almost a HP'less system. Not what I was looking for. DM

    Great Villain Showdown: 2nd Round [Results Posted]

    Actually, The Shinning was a segment on a Treehouse of Horror episode of The Simpsons, and a great one at that! Marge (reading): "Feelin' Fine.... No beer and no TV make Homer... go crazy." Homer: "Don't mind if I do!" Willie: "He has the shinning." Bart: "Don't you mean the shining?"...

    Great Villain Showdown: 2nd Round [Results Posted]

    I agree. Not only is Randall Flagg from The Stand, he was also THE major villain in King's Eyes of the Dragon and the Dark Tower series, as well as several other novels under different names (Storm of the Century for example) DM

    What would you like to see more in RPG stores?

    Clean well-lit sales area, organized shelves, minis in boxes and individual, intelligent sales staff who is knowledgeable about gaming, a large temperature-controlled gaming area with seperate rooms available for gaming as well, a snack and beverage counter. In short, I would like a local store...

    I also saw the upcoming Heroes of Horror and I think that would be a great thing to use to help put this together. DM

    Campaign Design Questions - *My Players Stay Out!*

    Update I introduced the idea to a few of my players. They seemed optimistic about the concept and actually came up with a few conepts and PrC's they thought would work well. The other DM said, that he doesn't HAVE to alternate with me if I want more continuity. The group as a whole however...

    Campaign Design Questions - *My Players Stay Out!*

    I am not going "real world" but am unsure of published or homebrew. I will probably go inspired homebrew in that it is a homebrew that is inspired by an amalgamation of other sources. DM

    Campaign Design Questions - *My Players Stay Out!*

    I do want it to be heroic and not depressing. Almost like Batman is heroic. That is the best setting analogy I have come up with so far. Excellent idea! I am not sure what my world changing goal would be at this point. Doesn't mean I won't have one, just haven't figured it out yet...

    Campaign Design Questions - *My Players Stay Out!*

    I have one potential player who is an avid CoC/WoD player, but I don't want him to take the game too dark if he plays. I don't want PC's to have morality conflicts, ie. "feel the pull of the dark side." He tends to play that way though and usually ends up turning a little darker than I want a...

    Campaign Design Questions - *My Players Stay Out!*

    I actually DO want my good guys to be discernibly good and bad guys discernibly bad, just not to the point that they are caricatures (which is one of the faults of Ravenloft IMO). There will be lots of Neutral alignments in positions of authority. DM

    Campaign Design Questions - *My Players Stay Out!*

    I just don't want the stereotypical Ravenloft. I don't want Ravenloft cosmology or Darklords, etc. I think you told me what I want later in your reply, so I will address that below. Actually, couldn't Batman be this type of world's Paladin? I like that analogy. I am kind of looking at it...
