I don't know. I have played and DMed since about 1979 and "Old School" to me doesn't matter what rule set you are using. What I remember most from the old days; Monty Haul PCs You die, no save [this really blew] Too many gray areas in the rules No role playing, just hack-n-slash no story...

I don't remember exactly why, since its been so long, I would have to say Cyborg Commandos. I just remember playing one session and not being impressed. Marvel Super Heros also gets a vote. Why was it just as easy to hit Spiderman then was to hit The Hulk? Warhammer the RPG never impressed...

What feats has he taken that will allow him to do 3d8 with a bastard sword?

In a fantasy world, specifically a D&D world, yes the Icons do have the power. Just look at their stat blocks. ;) I have yet to see a stat block for faith.

I know some have a problem with it. I just don't understand why. In this case I would argue that there is no legitimate reason to have a problem with it. Its a game.

I do not allow non-god clerics in my campaign. Whats the point? Although I have never had a player ask about it. It has always been assumed in my group that a cleric worships a diety of some sort. As far as not wanting to play a PC that worships a god, I don't have a problem with it. I have...

OH! This happens EVERY SINGLE WEEK! Sorry, please continue with the thread.

I hate when players do that. It really is fun to have a PC secret, even if it is minor. A good DM loves a detailed background full of intresting events and secrets. Afterall, do you really know every thing about your friends? I am currently playing a Fighter/Transmuter/Eldritch Knight who...

I hope you are joking. :heh: Other wise see this thread http://www.enworld.org/showthread.php?t=136122 See the entry by dougmander "It May be an Imaginary Universe, but it's all Mine" I read the recent ecology of the Kobold in Dragon. I liked and will use it.

Monkey Grip This Feat bugs me.

Is this your group? http://www.cliveblackledge.com/8bit/8bitDandD.html

As a player I always like to know that my PC matters. A DM who uses plots centered around the PCs keeps his players more interested. When RPing my PC he may not care what the original creators of the dungeon had in mind. Only what is there now. However, having that information may help in...

Speaking from experience, you may regret this. The archer(fighter w/ bow feats) was a force that unbalanced our group in 3.0. A smart player will match this information with the right prestige classes and may become a damage machine. We were relieved 3.5 didn't stack the bonuses, all of us...

One the reasons the party demands so much loot is they believe they are the only people capable of handling the adventure/mission. Throw in some competition. Make up some rival NPC adventuring squad(s). When they demand 25Kgp from the local noble to extract a goblin tribe from the forest have...

I found I coud scare my players with simple terms. When they announce an action or path they will take I occasionally say, "Really?" with an evil smirk and delight in my eye. :] Or simply Email them "Sorry, no game this week."

We play on Sundays on the NFL off season and on Saturdays during the season from 12 - 5. I usually rush home and beg my wife to let me out next week while playing with my 2 year old son that has driven her crazy for the last five hours.

For my campaign I would let the wizard have access to a Wu-Jen spell if he researched it. I didn't like the idea of having arcane spells exist if a wizard had no access to them at all.

One of my favorites is the "Ambush Room." Where the trap just signals the beginning of combat. My PCs were heading into a hobgoblin liar. The main entrance was more like a fortress entrance then a cave. Iron doors. Murder holes. So the party would have no chance to sneak up or surprise the...

In my campaign i use a minimum number based on HD. 1d4 = 1 1d6 = 2 1d8 = 3 1d10 = 4 1d12 = 5 All rolls have to be witnessed by me and the intention announced BEFORE the player rolls. If you roll below the min then you get the min. Ofcourse major NPCs and beasties have the same mins. Another...

DOH! Serves me right for not reading the original date
