    Worse Rules that game designers have made?

    Warforged ECL 0???? Yeah right!!!!

    I think warforged are very good at the small number of things they are really designed for, adequete for a few uses and sub-optimal for a number of things. One thing that I haven't seen brought up very much is that they don't need to sleep. For any game that involves doing things other than...

    Dice spinning

    I've got busy fingers so I've found myself spinning, stacking and/or rolling dice during downtime. I'm also a multi-tasker so i've actually caught myself doing stacking and unstacking dice while I was carrying on a conversation ingame. If I get really bored, I end up sketching. I have a DS...

    Island-based Civilization Ideas - Need Help!

    Islands being what they are, it is always interesting to note not just what an island has, but also what an island lacks. Islands that lack key resources are a driving force behind interisland trade which makes embargos, tariffs and smuggling a lot more interesting, to say the least. In a...

    Are you ready for some Football?!? (NFL)

    Expensive pussy

    bah! When I was young, I was extremely allergic to cats. For some reason, I was also very susceptible to feline mind control, and every time I visited my friend's house (they had cats) I always ended up petting them and I always stumbled home with my eyes nearly swollen shut. This went on for...

    What to see at a mage fair?

    Iron Alchemist! Today's secret ingredient is....? (for added fun, it's your PC's brains) Maybe not. Depending on the ambient alignment of the place, you might have interesting things for sale, like refurbished familiars, or indentured apprentices. And turkey leg vendors. Gotta have a turkey...

    Transatlantic Sports Comparrisons (formerly Explain American football to me)

    Also, there's Arena Football, which plays somewhat like Canadian Football (in that one player is allowed to be in motion towards the line of scrimmage at the snap) except that it is played indoors on a 50 yard field with fewer players. Most arena football players play both offence and defence...

    "What" you are versus "who" you are.

    The PHB's support for defining WHAT a character does is pretty extensive. The PHB's support for defining WHO a character is is limited to gender/race/alignment/diety. Anything beyond that is handwaving. There is no support for playing a PC that is of noble birth, missing a limb, suffers from...

    Where are hte polearms?

    Because a greatsword takes a lot of steel, and a spear, not so much. Hence, when you look at the number of armed people involved in wars from the bronze age to the dawn of the gunpowder age, the vast majority of them were armed with pikes/spears and/or improvised weapons and only a tiny fraction...
