    MD-DC-VA Gaming Day Comments...How did you like it?

    I don't think we would have had time, but you could have just had my character sense a magic item in there;) Hope he wasn't too annoying!

    Teaching the spousal unit D&D

    I introduced my SO to D&D years ago. She grew to like it far more than I. Then again, it wasn't very hard to introduce her... she already liked Final Fantasy and Dragonlance.

    Why should I care about the FLGS?

    Sometimes it's nice to be able to browse through a book before buying. If you only do this for books you're not sure about and buy the ones you are sure of online to save buck$, then soon enough you won't be able to browse for the cheap ones. Plus they provide advise and a way for nongamers to...

    How long have you been posting on ENWorld?

    I've been here since the first message board. I think it was around the start of 2000. I had just read about 3e in Dungeon magazine and was searching the web for info on the new edition. I was very critical about the need for a new edition... but when I found Eric Noah's site and read about it...

    Dungeon 112: Castle Maure comments?

    Well, as I refered to earlier, my prime example would be Ailamere's lair. It has a few alignment and story issues that are easily fixed, but basically it is a 100% open-ended adventure wherein the PCs are hired to find out as much as possible about a mysterious dragon by a sage. The goal of the...

    Dungeon 112: Castle Maure comments?

    Thanks for the info. As I suspected, not really my style. I tend to go for stuff with more interesting stories and characters (esp. villains). An innovative plot, well executed.

    Dungeon 112: Castle Maure comments?

    Could a dungeon crawl ever be greater than an innovative classic like Ailamere's Lair? Or in 3e, the pure epicness of Mysterious ways and the cold naturalism of Natural Selection? Basically, what makes this great? How is it different from a normal "enter the dungeon and kill monsters and steal...

    DM'ing for 1 Player, Need Advice

    I donno... I think it might be like chess. Go to a chess tournament and count the number of women. They exist, but if you thought there were few women in rpgs.... So chess-like puzzles, those to me seem to appeal to the same people who like, well, chess. The puzzle thing just doesnt seem like a...

    Classic Campaigning...

    That's funny.... the princess in one of my campaigns is named Sera... the PCs had to rescue her from a marriage she was being forced into (had to storm a castle Princess Bride style and break up the wedding). And talk about another cliche, the BBEG was the king's advisor, a powerful enchanter...

    DM'ing for 1 Player, Need Advice

    I'm not saying you're wrong, but perhaps it depends on what you mean by "puzzles". For my male friends that I've DMed for, I've had to add puzzles in... stuff like assembling handouts found in a dungeon or figuring out clues and what not. In general I'd take a standard Dungeon adventure and add...

    Classic Campaigning...

    Your PCs will have to find statues that are so well made that they look like real people... and of course they are, turned to stone either by a monster or a spell. (I think Dungeon has done this one 3 or 4 times....) The PCs must fight their way through a ship full of undead. The PCs will have...

    D&D Urban Legends: I new this guy who...

    Odds: (Init) 1/20 * (attack rolls) (1/20)^6 * other dice (1/12 * 1/8 * 1/6) = 1 in 737,280,000,000 or 1 in 737 billion. Great story!

    D&D Urban Legends: I new this guy who...

    Here's a story that I know is true cause it happened to my Dad back during an RPGA Living City adventure in the 90s. I was at another table, but he told me about it later. My dad's character was a fighter/priest of tempus (FR god of war). During a combat, he rolled a 1 on an attack roll. Then...
