    3e, DMs, and Inferred Player Power

    This sums up how I feel too.

    3e, DMs, and Inferred Player Power

    One thing I believe is missing in the 3.5 PHB, but is in the 3.0 PHB is rule 0 (as well as the you are not your character spiel) - which to me really needs to be that the DM's ruling is final. IMC I vet what is permitted to fit into the setting, mainly for feel, but also for power levels.

    I was too young for that when I started, but now buiscuits and crisps (chips if you're american) with one group, pizza, crisps and vegetables with the other. Occasionally beer at either.

    What "stars" would you like to see in a module?

    Yuan-ti or Inphidians - Inphidians do have the advantage of being OGC and have some fun tactics that are different from Yuan-ti, like being able to hide with just their snake hands showing.

    Why are Dwarves Scottish?

    British and short pretty much describes a lot of scots! Anyway my Dwarves come from yorkshire by eck! (helping to prolong the prototype of the penny pinching yorkshireman). I've met plenty of scots that drink beer and a decidedly dour, but what would you expect with a dreich climate like that

    Is piracy a serious issue for game developers?

    My feeling is not that great an impact with some sales lost but not many - generally people who download stuff either go one of two routes: 1. will not pay for material full stop so you would never get a sale to them 2. will buy some original materials using electronic copies as either samplers...

    The market dying?

    GW have mentioned the effect of reduced sales because of the LotR tie-ins fading and are also hit by the exchange rate of the pound against the dollar.

    Who are Howard and Leiber?

    I think I should have added a rider to my note about Terry Pratchett to say that obviously the authors of the D&D related novels probably have played at some point (Weiss, Hickman, Salvatore) and are very much immersed in their settings. True, though it tends to be extended series of stand...

    Party goes after tough opponets with eyes wide open...

    My players know that I will let the characters go into certain death, but I've always emphasised that running away or guerilla tactics can be useful. As a player I'm generally careful about things that might be certain death. stocking up on healing, making sure the party is at full strength...

    Call of Cthulhu- which version should I buy?

    One big advantage of the BRP version is availability - there are lots of copies of old editions which are perfectly usable floating around, while the D20 version doesn't come up for sale much on e-bay (I know as I've got a search with email notification set up).
