    [Take 2] Let's See a Pic of Your Gaming Group!

    Don't think we've taken a picture for 15-odd years. In fact, I'm pretty sure at least one of our present group doesn't show up on film.

    Errata: Do You Care?

    I voted 'Pffft', but what I really meant to say was that I incorporate errata if it makes more sense to me than the original text. It doesn't always.

    Recovering from a Trip Attack

    The difference is that, in drawing a weapon you are performing a Move Action. By moving you are Moving. Doesn't seem much but it is a big difference. I wouldn't give an AoO for someone drawing a sword. That's just plain silly to me.

    First Dragon with OOTS?

    Oh my, doesn't she look, um, fierce. Thanks for the info.

    First Dragon with OOTS?

    Come on, don't be shy. I'm sure someone out there knows the answer.

    XP and PCs gaining Templates

    That's my call as well. His XP total remains the same but his XP target for next level goes up to reflect the template's LA.

    Game session abruptly canceled

    I think your mistake was to call him back. Bad feeling all round, no closure. Then again, I doubt you'd have had a satisfactory result from a later conversation. So they can't be arsed to make an effort to play. Screw them and find some more reliable players closer to home. I travel about the...

    The Irregulars

    If someone can't turn up his character holds the horses or late due to digestive problems. We just forget about it until he rejoins the party.

    Do chaotic Paladins have a name?

    In my campaign they are called Paladins. They are not expected to last for long due to their innate inability to conform. Oh, evil paladins are also called paladins.

    Giving a paladin a half-dragon mount

    Let him have a 'normal' mount for 3 levels, then trade it in for a newer, improved model when he hits 8th. Just remember that its progression will be as if the paladin was 3 levels lower than he is, just like a druid picking an advanced companion. I would still point out that Half-Dragon is a...

    Staples refuses to print my PDFs....

    Silly me, I thought the whole point of PDFs was that you didn't have to print them out, not that you'd save a few bucks over the hardback price.

    First Dragon with OOTS?

    Quick question I am sure someone out there can answer. In which Dragon issue did Order of the Stick begin? Cheers.

    Highest AC's

    My group includes an ECL 15 Half Dragon Psy Warrior with an AC around 30. Not a problem as a good few of the big bads have +25 to +30 to hit.

    Post a Houserule that Failed

    If your players are that lazy/dim you've got more trouble than houserules.

    Do your characters ever go to make friends\allies?

    PCs making friends? Not so much. They occasionally hire a Sage, but the last one ended up having his house and library burned to the ground when the PCs were attacked. Burned by a combination of fireball/missed scorching ray and wind wall to keep vampires from escaping/distribute flaming paper...

    Scent

    I think you're right to give it such a small range, otherwise you'd have to factor in wind strength and direction and probably a boatload of things I haven't thought of. How much use does it get in your game?

    Reincarnation

    We've been lucky, so far, in that all reincarnations have resulted in 0LA characters. Granted, one came back as a halfling and walked off in a huff never to be seen again (PC, not player). One long-standing houserule of mine is that a roll of 00 = Troll. Not too bad in 1e but a bit of a bu__er...

    Post a Houserule that Failed

    I thought that having a fairly complicated language system might be problematic, but it doesn't seem to have been. Not sure if it is because I don't audit the PCs or if it is because they understand it (I think the latter).

    Ideas for better gameplay

    I use DMGenie on a lappy for my game and find it invaluable. I think I would find running the game much harder without it. I don't tend to look stuff up on it, though. I rely on the numerous books around the table which tend to be faster than scanning through a pdf. Several of my players use...

    How would you explain this for a campaign setting?

    Big hats. And cloaks, red silk-lined, of course. Then again, they could all look like Darth Vader, with some special racial armour.
