That goes for me too! All players in my DnD3E group live in the country while I live in town, but that's no problem since they come pick me up and drive me back home after the session. To me thats more than enough compensation for DM'ing! Anyways, the dreturn drive home, mostly late at night to...

I kinda mix and match, setting a starting level to match the campaign/scenario. For instance, ever since buying Deities and Demigods, I've had the idea to create a one-off in between scenario where all players would be demi-gods... I guess another reasong to start at higher levels is player...

Re: Re: re Thanx for the reminder. I'm starting RttToEE for my gaming group and probably should warn my players of this simple wisdom! BTW: As a general comment: What I like most about roleplaying is that you can use/dismiss elements as you please. So I for one wil have no qualms whatsoever...

Point well taken, but even taking this difference in acount I still don't like them. OK, so you PREPARE spells. Which means a relative high level wizard (lets say a Wiz6 with 4/4/4/3 spells) when he's done repairing is a walking timebomb running arround with magical energies ready to burst out...

EXACTLY: why would you bother leaving your tower when your research is all the exitement you need! I guess you could ask such a wizard to join a party when the need is high, but I don't think this kind of wizard would out of himself join/form a party. (again unless the need is high: eg. a...

Personaly I prefer to use I, since when I'm roleplaying I am that character, not somebody narating what some character does. As a DM, I also have my NPC's talk using I, but I'll make very clear who it is talking by adopting certain poses or accents and by talking arround a conversation. But the...

Oh, and I forgot to add (after reading another post) I definetly like the sorcerer because it makes counterspelling a viable choice. I mean: even a wizard as impressive as Elminster can from time to time find himself in a tight spot because he hasn't memorised the right spell. (mind you, the...

I prefer the sorcerer. The idea of somebody advancing in magic prowess through study is fine by me, it's not the reason why I prefer the sorcerer. basicly there are two reasons why I prefer the sorcerer: a) I like the idea of "wilders" who might be the strongest magic users around, but don't...

Basicaly, my sources are the novels, which I enjoy very much. For me these are the best in the range of setting/novels. I like some of the dragonlance and forgotten realms stuff, but find these in some ways overdeveloped. I like the more down to earth and sturdy feeling I get from the greyhawk...

Personaly I think I'm more average than good, but I must be doing something right, because I've been asked to join by several groups. From what fellow players, and especialy the Dm's I play under, tell me, I've got 2 strong points: I can get pretty deep into character, not being afraid about...

Since there is such a close link between elves and magic, I would rather think the magic language to be something akin to elfish. If you want to try that approach: scan the internet for sites on elfish (you'll most likely find references to Tolkien elfish, for instance try Ardalambion ). What...

I can't realy pick a winner because it would largely depend on the people visiting. Some are into RPG, so I would get out the ones I know they would like (ie related to their style of play and/or character), for those that are not realy into RPG's I would pull out either the books they could...

My current user name (Drakhe) finds it origin in my liking dragons and celtic/norse beckgrounds. I had seen the word drakhen in some fantasy novel used to refer to dragons, and liked it so much I adopted the word with the 'n' dropped as my nick, figuring that if drakhen is dragon, maybe drakhe...

Having read some GURPS material, and knowing the reputation of some of the people involved (as well as my general impresion of a certain 'style' of writing by British writers) I believe the suposed mis-use of words (like the "schlager" thing) is nothing more than a very tongue-in-cheek way of...

Not a module per-se but maybe worth a look for the stranded on an unknown island: Nyambe (african style campaign setting)

My main use for spellcraft is identifying spells being cast to be able to counterspell them. Problem is: counterspelling is only interesting if you have an idea what to expect beforehand and can prepare spells that yuo'd be contering with, or otherwise high-level characters that have many slots...

I have three great moments that spring to mind while running the Sunless Citadel: - somewhere on the lower level, there's a hall with several rooms, one of which is occupied by some liquor brewing goblins. the gang tried to sneak up on them to knock them out, but they started botching their...

The number of hit dice corresponds with the number of levels. So a fourth level bard would have 4 hit dice because every time a character levels you get to trow your hit die and add that number to your hit points. Each of the classes has a different type of hit die. Some (the more brainy types)...

I started out buying a full set of dice for each character I created. Then I got me a separate set for when I'm DM'ing. Then I got a huge amount of D6's for playing warhammer. (feel the power of a full unit of Space Orcs charging when you throw the 46 attack dice all at the same time <grin>) Now...
