Generic D&D You're talkin my kind of fantasy, moogle. I just started a summer campaign with some of my friends from school, only one of which had ever played any D&D before. Therefore I haven't thrown anything complicated, and they're having a blast playing completely standard. They rolled up...

A confusing question...? So I guess I haven't really made it clear what I'm asking here... How do you DM? 1) prepare the adventure site-based or time-based: with maps, dungeon rooms, monsters and NPCs all statted out, events "pre-programmed" in and then just let the PCs wander where they...

Okay, so had a bitchin' game session this evening. This might be a little long to get to the point, so please bear with me. Check this out. Got a batch of five relative newbies (well four and one old-school campaigner), all pretty much really into it so far despite previous gaming experience...

Bling. Yeah, I agree 100 percent. But wait, I'm confused: what are we politicking? Are we partisan? Against what? Game whiners? Who cares what they think anyway? In the (altered) words of Walter Sobchak, "F**k it, dude. Let's go play some D&D." :cool:

Friar Kroth, dwarven cleric Name: Thovaas Kroth ("Friar" Kroth) Class: Cleric Race: Dwarf Size: Medium Gender: Male Alignment: Chaotic Good Deity: Grendath (trickery, war) Str: 14 +2 (6p.) Level: 1 XP: 0 Dex: 8 -1 (0p.) BAB: +0 HP: 10 (1d8+2) Con: 14 +2 (4p.)...

It sounds to me like the question should not be so much what makes evil and whether you should kill evil on sight (or magical recognition) as much as: Is killing something on sight an act of good? No, right? The paladin is completely unjustified. Just like evil translates to soulless...

Sorry... I didn't mean to give the impression that I was listing facets in order of importance. IMO, rules & roleplaying are equally important, or I would even go so far as to say that they're not really even quantifiable against each other.. like apples and oranges, everyone has their own...

roleplaying con 1 Without access to a restoration spell, you get your con back at the rate of 1 point a day, which means you're not going to be feeling back up to par for over a week. Con 0 is death, right? so con 1 is a close shave - akin to getting really, really sick, like you've lost a...

The game simply kicks ass. I've finally gotten a new group together and have started playing again on a weekly basis, and it has given me some time to think on why it's so much darned fun, especially with all the discussions about it's success here recently. So check this out: I see two primary...

Los Angeles FLGS Los Angeles does not have a whole lot of stuff going on downtown, gaming-wise. Your best bet is probably to pop on up to Pasadena (you can even take the metro up there pretty cheaply) and check out The GameZone on Colorado. A really nice store with game rooms, LAN gaming...

Aa-ah. Rappan Athuck had both rot grubs and bottled green slime that a psychotic viking would throw at the players.

Re: Lurkers, Non-Genconners, Tell us about your games, please! 1.) How many players in your group? eight, including the DM 2.) Do you DM? Man, I used to, but my group broke up last year. Now I just play, and I've mostly been running one-shots on occasional weekends since. You can see the...

To pimp Worldworks a little more... The printing can, indeed, take a while and be a little expensive. It helps if you have access to a high-end industrial color printer at work or something. The construction on the other hand is relatively fast, I was surprised how quick it takes to cut, score...

I give it up to WorldWorks as the best and coolest bang-for-your-buck dungeon-building accesory out there, but it does require some printing and construction effort. If you want to seriously get into some do-it-yourself plaster mold love, nothing can compare to the Hirst Fantasy products for...

the SpineCap Tower Armies of might once walked this land. The high sorcerer Dol Naroth knew that he could not match the Legion of Iron in numbers, but he supplemented his fierce hill-tribes of wild men and orcs with fell beasts of arcane creation. His most wondrous and fearsome creation was...

It's all about Raistlin, isn't it... All the other actors are secondary. What about Brad Dourif? Or is he too obviously evil? The trick is is that he's gotta be young.

I usually start off with the statement that "it's endless adventure..." waiting for prompting from them. Then I say, "You and a bunch of your buddies get to play epic heroes, and run around a fantasy landscape of dungeons, castles and all sorts of crazy places and fight nasty monsters and...

In my old campaign, when the players were making their way through the ghostly-pirate caves of Black Dog Bones searching for the secret entrance to the sunken tower of Vecna that had cursed them all (the pirates, that is)... They stumbled across a sunken ship that had become a sort of undead...

All hail the Pear-shaped Mouth-breather , may he ever represrent our creed! The way I see it, if the chairs don't creek a little and the air doesn't get a little stale, then it's not D&D!! :D ;)

last chance saloon I'm going to bump this, just once... To see if there are any takers. C'mon, I know Minnesotan gamers exist! They've got to. I once dated a girl from Bozeman and she had some pretty cool friends. We leave tomorrow afternoon, but I'll also check this weekend.
