These kind of statements amaze me... Consider yourself lucky if you have enthusiastic D&D players to spare enough that you can readily kick them out in favor of the next would-be player in line. I have enough trouble finding people who get excited to play at all!

Being from Portugal, you may not have access to Green Ronin publications, but they "strongly recommend" changing the bonus from Skill Focus from +2 to +3 (to any single skill of course). Good Gaming! Oh, and my biggest gripe: THE EDITING, what easle? ;)

Ok, that does sounds cool. But looking at the screenshots I've seen so far, it really didn't 'blow me away' as much as I'd hoped. I'm waiting until it's been out a while, so I can read some reviews and/or they get most of the bugs worked out. Seems like a game this complicated is going to...

Wow, reading your post I felt an all-too-familiar sting in my heart, man. I know what you are going through. I went through the same type of thing a few years ago, only it was with a girlfriend and a 'friend.' My best and only advice is, stay calm, find your center, trust in God, don't do...

Someone mentioned in an earlier thread that in NWN you could design your character to have almost any "look" you could conceive.... unlike, oh, say EverQuest where every half-elf druid looked pretty much like the next half-elf druid. Finally I broke down and went to the NWN website (although...

Neutral Good Half-Elf Ranger Druid Follower Of Mielikki This test is a joke. I said I would hate to live in a forest village, would prefer to live in a city. Everything I answered pointed to wizard and or fighter/wizard. Stoopid!

DUDE! Your little brother is a TOTAL MUNCHKIN! What was he THINKING??? My God, the rules would never allow for that kind of play within their framework! As an art-jock, er, dice-player, rule-fag, I vote you should put an end it it immediately! :D ;)

You might find this hard to believe, but people in real life can and do survive falls from that distance. 100 ft is only ~33 yards. It's definitely possible.

In arguably the best campaign I've ever played in (WEG Starwars game back in 1990), I was DMing and two characters died in a snowspeeder battle against some AT-ATs (original, I know!)... The wookie named Darbacca (yes, Darbacca), and a mercenary cat-person named Maximillian... Me and the two...

I could be mistaken but... It really seemed to me like in the Epic Issue, the fiction section was way longer than it normally is. Call me lazy, old-fashioned, or whatever, but I could count on five fingers the amount of times I have actually read a short story in an issue of Dragon. Are the...

My fix to the ranger class is very simple, but works effectively, IMO. I simply give the class the option of weapon specialization (bow only) at fifth level. Note that a single-classed ranger won't be able to spend a feat on it until level-six. Now, what to do for the bard... I'm cautiously...

This might elicit an angry response, but I don't intend it to. In another thread someone mentioned the term 'rule-player.' I think that is at least more descriptive than 'roll-player,' which as Psion pointed out, really doesn't mean anything in a game that uses dice all the time. Hey, if...

That's a good point, and well taken. However, I guess I could more clearly state my point in that I consider myself a 'fantasy guy' (although quite honestly I'm not the typical geek), and I have no interest in any of the shows you mentioned, other than Xena, and to a lesser extent Star Trek...

I wouldn't doubt that the shows you mentioned are popular; however, I think they exist (at least somewhat) outside the "genre" the article author is trying to examine. For example, Buffy the Vampire Slayer has a viewing audience way beyond that of your typical fantasy fan. Angel, X-files...

The picture of the hag in the MM. It looks like she only has one GD leg! It's pretty cartoony and bad, doods.

I didn't read this entire thread so it's possible this has been said before. I think the perfect example(s) of a 15th level commoner would be the head miner, or a head sailor perhaps. Think about it. Miners don't really need the skills of an expert, yet after years and years of such strenuous...

Out of curiosity.... oh well, never mind.

Thank you Corinth! Look, big corporate America is doing just fine without all the fricken "grass-roots" support and sympathy. Oh yeah, and the irateness. I for one work for a company where layoffs could happen at any time. And the CEO is not a teddybear, nor is he stupid. I have nothing...

I don't think too many people here would deny that D&D (and really all roleplaying) is about telling a story. Somehow I'm not convinced LAN parties and online games (which are in some ways not much different than EQ in terms of what people they will likely draw) are about storytelling; rather...

I'd just like to make a broad statement that I work in the "business world" as well, for a company that has laid off many many people in the last few months. Hell, even I got laid off, only to be luckily re-hired in another position a month later. My point is that, trust me, there are jerks...
