    A Very Deep Valley: How Weird a Climate Can I Get?

    I wouldn't get too much into climatology necessarily, unless your party is made up of Adventuring Planetary Geologists... I would think that a Doc Savage/Solomon Kane/Lost World/Land of the Lost/Savage Land campaign would be a blast!

    What monster killed your first PC?

    Gibbering Mouthers are disgusting, vile creatures that should be exterminiated... RIP Hakim... you'll be missed.

    Your favourite PC

    Rabelais was the first character I ever played, way back when during the 1st Reagan Administration. I've played a variation on the theme about 12 times in that period. It does get better with age... Rabelais (Viscomte Kraelian d’Brise-Crete) Rabelais is the nom de guerre of the Viscomte...

    "It's not a question of where it grips it..."

    It's a Brown Horse that eats Green grass My group used to have a player, (Before I came along) that always asked what kind of horse they had just purchased. This player would describe in detail exactly what kind of horse she bought, and what its attributes should be... My GM decided that from...

    How do you like your combat?

    I like more open free-wheeling combat. If we can get through a combat round in less than 15 minutes, we're lucky though... at higher levels, there are just so many options, that it makes it difficult to execute a quick combat round.

    Roles within a party...

    I generally run Opportunistic Combat/Support Magic types. Bards, Monks, Rangers and such. I almost always select Dex as my primary attribute, it tends to pay off when you run that style of character.

    Most Unlikely people who have expressed an interest in D&D?

    I used to game with this guy who was a running back for Baylor. The guy was Literally the BMOC... great guy, and a helluva Shadowrun player.

    HELP ME WITH A MURDER MYSTERY PLOT (My players keep out!)

    From a player's perspective, I might not actually think to check if he is/was undead. Another option would be to have the players not actually show up on scene until the trial's over, and the body safely buried. Give it a week or two, the barmaid might even still be in town to make sure that...

    Death before capture!

    Ok, here's the dilemma. The players in my group (including myself) always fight to the death. There was the time when we faced off against 3 Adult Blue Dragons, where we ran like Aitch EEEEE Double Hockey Sticks... Stupid Forge of Fury... Anyway there have been a couple of points in our...

    Share you worst campaign meltdown

    I'd been gaming with this group for about a year. The GM had a tremendous head for details, but NO execution whatsoever. He could tell you the name of the Tavern keeper 2 villages away, but couldn't run a combat, AT ALL. Not really a problem so much, but after awhile it kinda got irritating...

    Claviger- Combat PrC

    What I intended to give up with the PrC is all of the more mystic "Monkey" stuff. No Diamond Soul, Immunity to Aging, High Speed, Able to fall from tall buildings in a single bound stuff. I guess my question is... Is that enough? I think it's balanced enough for our game. We run a pretty...

    Claviger- Combat PrC

    Ok, be gentle... it's my first shot at a PrC. It's intended for my Monk in a RTToEE game. I'm going to be working on the Flavor Text part so that it has a little more Flava. Here are the nuts and bolts of it though. I'm a little concerned that it's basically Monk, with the best parts of...

    Favorite Character

    It's gotta be Rabelais (Elf, NG, Bard 10/Duelist 9). I've been playing him off and on for about 20 years now. It's the only 3rd edition character I've played. We started our campaign at 1st level in October of 2000 when 3e released, and I've been playing him weekly since then. Our campaign...
