Some posts from Elaine Cunningham have given me the impression that often times, the authors don't even come up with the "big picture" plot themselves. For instance, WoTC/TSR would go to her and say "We want a story about XYZ local that features a female hero etc...". Then the author would go...

Grim, gritty and low-magic is all I'm looking for in a campaign setting right now. KoK comes close, but isn't quite as grim as I would like it to be (I'm looking for more of a WHFRPG feel with less magic). Nothing else that I've looked through is even close, so I'm sticking with KoK for now...

Immediately I generally take the apprentice class route, but this is more for character concept than game mechanics reasons. I do this because I usually don't think of my characters in class terms, my characters "are what they are". Adding classes later on signifies more of a profession...

I'll get in touch Thanks for the invitation, I'll get in touch. Depending of when/how frequently you play, Reston might be a little far for me right now (I expect anywhere from 45 minutes to a bit over an hour, depending on traffic). I work in Chantilly though (this is one of the reasons I'm...

I agree completely, I would rather see the U.S. college/amateur athletes lose in Hockey and Basketball then watch our best professionals win. All star games get crappy ratings for a reason, and now the Olympics are no different.

I'm looking for a gaming group in the Northern Va/Washington DC area. I graduated from college in 1999 and moved to the area for employment reasons. I currently live in Alexandria but may be moving to the Falls Church area in a few months. I haven't actively played D&D since high school...

Part Time Yes I would write part time if possible. Mostly, I think that I'd be interested in taking a small geographic region of a setting and fleshing out its details in a source book. I'd also probalby try to do a few modules as well.

Heavy Pick and Hand-Axe I have a dwarf that uses a heavy pick and hand-axe combo. Not the best min/max, but I think it fits the character. He sometimes lugs around a maul to round out his choices of fighting styles/weapon types.

30 or 32 pt buy I like a 30 or 32 buy. It allows everyone to have "heroic" characters without it getting out of hand, and everyone then starts on an even field. I REALLY like the point system because in my old 2e gaming group, we sometimes had issues because because someone would roll...

No more gnomes In 3e, since gnomes have become a combination of kender and tinker gnomes, I can't stand them. In 2e, I actually liked gnomes. Some of the descriptions of gnomes in 2e made them out to be the WISEST and most peace loving race. I always envisioned them as a cross between elves...
