Wow, sounds like everyone had as great time there as I did. As Gen Con #22 for me, this one was pretty darn good. Nothing, however beats the first time, and as it is much larger now than it was in '82 I can only imagine how amazing it is to go for the first time now. I spent almost all my...

The bonus feat alone would actually be enough incentive for me most times, but in this case I actually do have something. IMC, I have 6 different racial groups of humans, each of which has two +1 skills.

Sure he's a sidekick, the story just happens to be from his point of view, making him both a sidekick and the main character of the movie.

I have decided for my homebrew that Half-orcs and Half-elves both get the "human" bonus skill points. It helps make the Half-elves tha masters of flexibility that I think they should be and is a nice bonus for the classes that they are well suited for, ie Bards and Rangers.

If I were to start over again with my homebrew, I'd go with humans + only 1 or 2 races as the core (with allowances for those who just have to play something else). The problem is that my homebrew stretches back to before 1e AD&D, and there are a number of concepts that are part of the theme of...

Allowing the stacking of multiple +2/+2 feats and skill focus is perfectly fine. a. they are unnamed bonuses b. its really not that big of a deal, there arn't people beating down the doors to take another +2/+2 feat for mechanical reasons. IMC, I have replaced ALL +2/+2 feats with one feat...

I'm gonna go against some of the common thoughts, and suggest a human: Bard 1 Bard 1 Ranger 1 Bard 1 Ranger 2 Bard 1 Ranger 3 Bard 2 Ranger 3 Favored Enemy +2 Track Wild Empathy Two-Weapon Fighting (combat style) Endurance Inspire Courage (+ some other bardic stuff) +4 BAB +3 Base Fort +6...

I cant agree more. I have one player in my groups who I am fairly suspicious of fudging his stat rolls. I am absolutely going to use stat point buy in my next game. I woke up this morning thinking about stat buy, and one of my concerns with using it is the whole idea of a Stat Dump, and how...

Always have, and always will. While I have vetoed character ideas that wouldn't fit into the campaign, I have done so only very rarely. I have always run VERY player driven games, with multiple plot hooks, and an evolving world takeing place around the characters. The characters are always...

Wow, this round has awful matchups. Lots of winners on this list I would like to see gone, and lots I voted against I'd like to see stay... 1. Agent Smith 2. Great Cthulhu 3. Professor James Moriarty 4. Cancer Man (X-Files) 5. Galactus 6. Jack Torrence (The Shining) 7. Emperor Palpatine 8...

I run three regular (once a month) groups plus some other one shots and the like for older (read:Epic) characters, I'd be willing to run an adventure and discuss it, I'm pretty sure that I could fit something in somewhere (although one group is on the Shackled City, and another is on the Isle of...

Another one that I was reminded of this last weekend is: Monkeys!?! - which is said in a tone of abject horror Originally it comes from the movie The Rundown where the characters are beset by monkeys in th jungle while it compromising positions. Later, when I running an adventure with a...

Although this is a relatively recent one, its grown out of proportion. I ran a group of evil PCs on a side trek were they came across a rather seedy inn (the Immortal Kobold with some extra hooks for those keeping score). The players ended up murdering almost everyone at the inn except the...

Yeah, I was already thinking of using the first 2.

I have been using minis and a battle mat for about 7 years now. That being said, recently I've been running some sessions without referance to the mat and minis as a method of speeding things along especially when the enemy is a single, opponent or there is a signifigant difference between the...

The Psion version was one that does somewhat tempt me, and divine casters make good summoners, but I was really thinking an Arcane caster.

Yep, since seeing this, I've been tempted to wait on the book before proceeding too far into this plotline, and have not put an urgency on the PCs needing to track down more info on the Spark of Life.

I've been itching to play a conjuraton/summoning specialist wizard in 3.5 recently, but so many character ideas, so few games to make them for. Anyway, it seems that a campaign twist may allow me to utilize the personality I've been thinking of for a villian, and a summoner will make a good...

I'm perfectly comfortable with it, I didn't even need to know about whatever color coding was going on. If the DM said "Due to the poor illumination you suffer a -4 penalty trying to disable this clockwork device." I would be OK with that.

Bastion is locked up tight - no more key to get in, no more door for a key. The Bastion we've assumed is floating in the positive, and thus is not in a fixxed location, so no compass to find it either. That's the whole reason that the bad guys are after people with the Spark, they cant get to...
