    Help!!! I finally get to be a player instead of DM and...

    Well, just in general the first magic item you should pick up is a Wand of Cure Light Wounds, as the cheapest per-hp healing available. Getting one of these allows you to focus on your buffs and not burn spell slots patching everybody up. I'd recomend Power Attack and then Scribe Scroll...

    Fantasy Art-The Learning Project

    Next is Lothar, a human fighter. He's on Progen because he heard that it's a good place for people who want to see combat, but don't have the training for a paladin order or want to be a part of the atrocity commiting force of evil the Imperial Legions have morphed into. "I mean you no harm."...

    Fantasy Art-The Learning Project

    Since I just started a new campaign, you lucky people get treated to a character picture session. First, Circe, an elven sorcerer. The daughter of an elf and a half-dragon from Khelorn, Circe is on Progen II as part of an intergalactic charity project run by the Church of the Mother. She...

    Sealed Pages in Dragon--Contents inside!

    And then there's the CoC monster Worm that Walks, which is good if your party isn't an insane level. It's collest ability is that it takes minimum damag from attacks, letting it keep casting far longer than it normally could, and it can't be killed by mundane means.

    I had a wierd dream last night...

    This is sort of random, but whenever I play one computer game a lot, all my dreams will be in the format of that computer game, no matter what I'm playing. If it's been Counter-Strike, I'll have crosshairs and a little health indicater in the corner of my vision, and I'll die a lot and go back...

    How fast does a Prone or Crouching Character Move?

    I'm DMing a Dragonstar Campaign, and one thing that will shortly come up that isn't covered in the rules is how fast do Prone and Crouching characters move. I have a few ideas on this, but I would like to see the general consensus of the boards before making a descision. A Prone character...

    The 64 gp question...

    I would probably use multiple Divinations and Communes to narrow down what tactics to use, then I'd scry out base defenses with Scry or Greater Scrying. Then buff up with everything you have, get several Planar Allies and use a Limited Wish to gain +7 on your next initiative roll. Teleport...

    Too Much D&D

    When you complete RttToEE in under a gazillion years. When you've memorized your character's spell-list. You can generate a level 6+ character without refering to the books. If you ever say. "Oh no, not another game."

    DMs do you trust your PCs?

    I trust my players to roll characters, not to play them. It's not that their cheating munchkins, but that they won't work together (like attacking each other in battles). They also tend to think violence is the solution to every problem, even to the extent of killing small children and old...

    Has anyone ever made a Starship Troopers RPG?

    One way would to use the Dragonstar Rules. The PCs automatically get assault suits equipped with an assault blaster and possible a rocket launcher and a bunch of high explosive, and the enemy can be formians armed with high-tech weaponry.

    How does your family view your hobby?

    In general, my parents sort of wish that I would focus more on my grades and less on the game, but they don't really care and are willing to buy me books/dice/T-shirts etc. My younger brother thinks it's stupid, geeky, and nerdy, but he's a "cool kid" and so can only like official "cool kid"...
