Alright, I didn't run Saltmarsh, I played in it. Now it's been mentioned that the module itself explains that Ned is supposed to be out of place, which I wouldn't know about, obviously. Also, perhaps the problems my group had with Ned should have been handled better by the DM, perhaps not, I...

I don't have that much cash left over. It really should matter little anyway, IMHO, since in Iron Heroes, once you have your basic equipment.. You don't really need money for anything. So I feel that PCs need another reason, really. Otherwise.. Once they get 500GP, why continue? Unless...

Actually, I think the main issue will be a time one. 500 GP shouldn't be -that- hard to come by. But at this point, it'll probably take me over a year to make one.

If you have extra money, my character will be starting a Full Plate fund.. :)

Atheists in D&D could also believe that "Gods" exist, but aren't really Gods per se, just Really Powerful Beings. In many ways, it's besically semantics. But Demon Princes can grant powers to followers, and yet aren't Gods. But yeah, the difference between believing that and believing in Gods...

Heh. I started reading this thread, and was thinking "Wow, no one is mentioning the WLD? Sure, it wouldn't really fit the OP's needs, but -still-.. Weird." -Then- I looked at the dates, and it all made sense! WLD -is- a blast, though. And with some modifications, it could have been made...

Darn it! While I have a wife, I'm always looking for a bit on the side! And that's not min/maxing, since it shortens my lifespan. :) Granted. And I've played such characters, too! But that doesn't mean that a min/maxed character can't be just as full of story, which is sorta the whole point.

If this go on, we might as well just start exchanging e-mails. :) But I can write.. 4-5 truly different backgrounds for that fighter with the 18 STR with Power Attack. Why? Because the base is a trope, and it's -easier- to concentrate on roleplaying aspect that disregard (while still taking...

My problem with this is the "more uncommon and interesting. While the uncommon part is self-evident, I don't get the interesting part. How is having "Skill Focus (diplomacy)" or "Quick Draw" more interesting than having "Power Attack"? My character's stats/feats/skills don't determine my...

I voted no. While I enjoyed reading some PDFs, I do not use PDFs in my regular gaming. And while I do play in games on-line, in which case a "book" being a PDF is not really an issue, I don't buy gaming material only for on-line play.

That argument is a tad flawed, to my mind. There isn't "one ultimate build". The game is balanced enough to accomodate a lot of different characters that are built optimally, or semi-optimally. As for the.. But who gets their name recorded? Robin Hood was a masterful archer. Conan was a...

I still don't see how min/maxing and roleplaying can even affect each other in a meaningful way (and yes, librarian_arcanum, I did read all your edifying posts). Min/maxing solely relates to character building/levelling. That's when it happens. I don't know about you guys, but I create...

Well I got some free time today after all, so here goes. Let me know what you think. Character Background Kadoch was born in the small town of --, in a family with a long, proud history of blacksmithing. Having been born the third son, he was somewhat more free in the projects he could...

Alright, just so you know I haven't lost interest or anything, this week-end is pretty crazy for me, what with a kid graduating and all that jazz. Should have character done mondy, tuesday at the latest.

Best Edit Evar! It remains in context, and probably makes the joke funnier than the original.

Hmm. Just a quick question. I'm sorta considering an armiger, at this point. If I do, would I be able to consider having crafted my own armor, reducing the cost in consequence?

Ryan sighs, and looks up at the ceiling. "Well, sounds like a psyho to meself, ma'am. Real sorry to have disturbed ya, and very grateful of your cooperation fah sure. If it would be a'ight with ya, Ah'll leave ya a card so you can contact us should anyone else odd show up?" He then looks at...

Excellent! I've been waiting with baited breath for someone to post a game with Iron Heroes! I'm not sure exactly what I'll be wanting to submit, but will definitively get something to you before the 30th.

About the reception at Wizards: Henry brings up good points. Also, just because something is commonly done here doesn't mean that people on another board will understand that you were honestly looking to being "sold". I can easily look at your post and see it as a "Hehe you guys are silly...

But perhaps "Because that's how we've always done it AND any other way of doing it comes with it's own set of problems" isn't quite as insufficient.
