    Plant Abuse.. is that looney?

    I went to an estate sale today to look in on an overstuffed easy chair that I didn't end up buying. However, while there I couldn't help but notice that there were three orchids, a palm tree, and a couple of other plants I haven't identified yet that were in... well rather sad shape. I inquired...

    Have we lost the dungeon?

    You need look no further than the "World Largest Dungeon in actual Play" thread to answer your question. With over 36,000 views and nearly a thousand posts I'd say the dungeon is alive and well. Great product by the way. :)

    Getting back into Forgotten Realms

    I don’t ever intentionally get rid of a RPG product, so I still have all my OD&D, 1st and 2nd Ed books, as well as hundreds of 3.x products. I love the realms. At times I get tired of the magic rich environment, however deep in my heart I must enjoy it as I have yet to tone it down in my games...

    Dead Gelatinous Cubes

    Burning a 10'x10' mass of gelatinous flesh in an enclosed area? First off the fuel needed to produce enough heat to evaporate the water content alone would suffocate itself in an enclosed area, and the fumes given off by the cooking flesh would be highly acidic and dangerous. And you were able...

Forgotten Realms, Scarred Lands, Kingdoms of Kalamar, Gamma World, D20 Modern, Darwin's World, Midnight, gimme more! Though I think I will be running an...

    Buyer Expectations for OGL

    This hasn't ever been a factor in my deciding to purchase a product. It sounds good, play to the ethical publishers, support them and to hell with the bastards who aren't doing nice. However what matters to me in the end is what I find useful in my game. I purchase from a broad base of hardback...

    An Exalted Hero With A Vile Judgment Of Good

    I flat don't agree with this statement and it wouldn't fly in my game. Then again, the beauty of it is that if it works in your game then whose to say I'm right and you are wrong. We just disagree.

    The Tome of Drow Lore - Anyone got it?

    Yeah the drow campaign doesn't interest me at all. I prefer to design my own campaigns and while I do use prewritten material for some of it, I write my own stuff for a lot of it as well. Running an entire campaign out of a box has little appeal to me. I did buy the WLD, but that was...

    A Realization (maybe an epiphany?) about D&D

    This thread (the entry post) sounds a bit like a trust issue to me. Correct me if I'm wrong please. I've been running my two current groups for years, and we have consistently had a good time with the campaigns we have shared. My players will basically play in any game I ask them too because...

    The Tome of Drow Lore - Anyone got it?

    http://www.mongoosepublishing.com/home/detail.php?qsID=797&qsSeries= I'm not sure about this. I looked it over at my FLGS yesterday and there is a lot of info on drow in the book. Its all black and white with large illustrated margins, and chapters on drow society, magic, gods, feats, PrC, and...

    What (type of) Book Would You Spend $100 On?

    My game group purchased the Worlds Largest Dungeon, and it was a great deal. The World's Largest City is NOT going to be a $100 book by the way. The price point was so contentious that Alderac decided not to go that route again, which I think, personally, is a shame. In order to get my next C...

    An Exalted Hero With A Vile Judgment Of Good

    Bartmanhomer, Guardianlurker wasn't making a value statement about you in this thread, so I'm unclear on what you are feeling sorry about. No insult was offered. This topic has in fact come up many many times, and what he means by Trolls is that folks dredge them up from the end of the list...

    How do you present your house rules?

    Hm, my house rules are so simple I've not really ever thought about organizing them. 1) If the game room door is closed then you may swear if its appropriate, but it's never appropriate if the door is open as I have children. 2) Play nice. 3) Don't ask the GM's wife out. It ticks her off and...

    PDFs - Does size matter?

    I like the idea of PDF's because I love the spirit of entrepreneurship that brings them to us, but I find that I don't care for them in practice. I'm just old fashioned in that I love the smell of ink and the heft of a book in my hands. The option now to inexpensively print to order off of...

    Who Among Us Are Teachers?

    I'm 36, and I have a 1st grader and a 8th grader whom I teach every day. The most important teacher is the people who raise our kids, us, and I wish more folks would get involved with their kids and their education. Having said that however, I very much appreciate the dedication that I've...

    This was brilliant! I am going to share this with my entire game group... I loved it! Thanks for posting it here!

    More guys play D&D than gals, Why?

    I don't agree with the argument that the only (or even primary) psychological differential between women and men is modern socialization. You can't remove 40,000 years of Homo Sapiens social evolution from the gene pool in just the last 2-3 thousand years in which agriculture has completely...

    Hell freezes over....

    Just about a year ago I converted the DL modules I collected back in the day to 3.0 when the DL book came out and decided to run them. The game died when a couple players accused me of running them over with a plot wagon... really pissed me off. I told them from the start that they could go...
