When I create a character for any game system, the first thing I ask myself is: What (if anything) would this character willingly die for? The answer to this question usually helps to fill in the details.

One of the wrongest things ever said. Counter example: 1st edition AD&D polearms.

20 pounds, as mentioned earlier, not 25. Also, by text, mage hand can pick up, move or manipulate an object. Is a clod of dirt an object? probably. Is a loose quantity of sand an object? perhaps not. How much does a wheelbarrow weigh? It may take only 20 pounds of force to move a perfectly...

Oh duh. The text from posts 17-18 are from DW#20 I forgot to add that.

based on the PHB classes, sure, why not? Wizards (and warlocks) have lousier armor options (spent feats nonwithstanding) than almost anyone else, fewer HP, fewer healing surges. They are essentially, the low hanging fruit, so if you have ranged attacks, you'd be well served by concentrating...

part II The fire giants live in a well-constructed dungeon complex inside a volcanic mountain. This is simply a tough nut for the adventurers - the giants are in a place constructed for defense where they can repel a sortie with secondary positions, impromptu barricades, and ambushes. The...

Something I just noticed: The ship on the cover of SG44 and DW 18 are the same ship, drawn from different angles. wierd. AGAINST THE GIANTS By Gary Gygax TSR $6.00 Reviewed by Anders Swenson This is a dungeon module G-1-2-3, a volume which combines the first series of TSR dungeon modules under...

I'm in a D&D game that is failing to excite me. We're around 8th level and the DM is amazingly stingy. Right now we're on a rescue mission worth an AMAZING 320 GP. Assuming we all survive, which is extremely unlikely, my character stands to gain 80 whole GP, which is enough to buy three dogs and...

Does Udon count as soup? Cause if it does, I'm gonna say either Kitsune Udon or Pho.

Juan of the Dead!

Paladins, clerics and monks are more often than not, members of organizations that are defined by imposing their restrictive code of conduct upon their members. This is rather different from individuals who may or may not be affiliated with any organization whatsoever. If a freelance fighter or...

Makes you wonder what some of the evil entities would face if they found themselves in a similar situation...

Azumanga Daioh is charming slice of life fluff. There's no extreme drama, violence or action. Still, it's entertaining as all heck. The characters are fun, their interplay ranges from goofy to hillarious. The artstyle is simplified and expressive. I recommend the subtitled version. Planetes is...

I hear some nutbag set the guy on fire prematurely.

The other logical response is for every low-mid level adventuring party to start emulating the very effective tactics of this particular party and in so doing drive every type of monster that is vulnerable to web and grease to near extinction. So now there's nothing to encounter but stuff that...

Murder Inc.

He likes using grease spells to annoy your monsters and doesn't use blast spells? Use Stirges.

Drake? that's an english name that sounds like it might have something a little wizardly to it.

Baseball has changed considerably over the years. You can only make realistic comparisons between a player and his contemporaries. I won't offer up any sort of argument against Babe Ruth being the best player of his era. Add the fact that he was also an ace pitcher, and he's easily the best...
