I voted against the d4. They don't roll as much as just sorta land They do however make fine caltrops so I'll keep them after they've been retired in case I have to make a clean getaway when I pull something really rat bastardly and my players come after me.

Reminds me of a session from my last campaign. The improved invisible enemny wizard maneuvered into position to drop a wall of fire on the party wizard. I was dm'ing and the party wizard was my wife. It was the most logical thing to do and one of the players remarked it was a totally cold...

1) Saw Raiders of the Ark 15 times in the theatre (we went every week to see something and most of the other movies playing were rated R) 2) Played Hooky from school to see Return of the Jedi on opening day. Got caught because of the other kids who went got caught and ratted us all out to...

"Al loves undead" Everytime I run a new campaign somebody wants to work up to being a hunter of the dead. Probably a good thing. Undead don't eat (for the most part), sleep, and generally don't need to breathe so they can be put just about anywhere and it makes sense they are there. I do...

Oh, and I'm currently working on Region K. I got all the easily dealt with editing done fairly quickly last night. Maybe I'll have it done by the weekend.

Hey JamesL85.. I just emailed you a region H players map. Feel free to post it on your site and credit just__al

None taken... It's all good...

Not at the time I voted.

As much as I would have liked to vote for Improved Init, I had to vote for weapon finesse because it has the lead on WF and I need to protect my choice, Power Attack.

It is extremely rare that I don't do this. It's a good way to start off the game and the first scene/battle can easily foreshadow events to come, if only vaguely. In one campaign where the main villians were all protagonists the campain started out with the party fighting goblins. Shortly...

It's a little tough when the cleric of the group has the knowlege domain and takes detect secret doors as her domain spell.

As a player, I'll argue with a DM for as long as it takes or until the DM tells me to "shut up, this is how we're doing it". I do however, come to the arguement with the book open to the rule in question and if the DM only allows me 10 seconds then I'll stop arguing and then follow up after the...

The most interesting game I ever played in started with the GM telling us what the 10 skills were, what they did and asked us to place them in the order of best to worst for our character. We then got 3 levels to spend, the classes were priest, mage, and warrior. You picked 2 or 3 levels worth...

Only where I needed to so I could absolutely hide something like a secret door. My players could tell "something" was there on the region A map and assumed it was poorly hidden on purpose. It was at the end of a dead end hallway anyway so they would probably have searched till they found it...

Hey, I just emailed you my players only version of the region G map. Check your email and please credit just__al on the downloads page

I'm about 95% done with a players map for region G. Maybe by Monday, my time is a little bit taken up by the fact that we are playing all day saturday. Maybe they can make it out of Region A. I figrued out that I can photoshop the PDF and still save it as a PDF so even I with my paltry skills...

Wait, wouldn't moving as quickly as possible mean running perhaps even up to 4 times their movement rate?

We play every week, you know this, don't plan for something else unless it's important like a wedding or studying for finals. The DM (we rotate) is perfectly within his/her purview to insist the game be played at his/her house, however, the host cooks and everybody pitches in to cover the cost...

I'm playing an Urgosh weilding fighter2/rogue7. He has power attack. When combat starts he'll usually charge in and full power attack. After that he normally doesn't power attack since with improved TWF he can get in 4 sneak attacks in the right circumstances. However, when reduced to a...

Given my choice of systems, I'd play D&D, hands down. That being said, if I trusted the GM to run a good game, I'd try just about anything. If I'm running a game it's going to be D&D, I like the ruleset and the paradigm. I might be convinced to run a D20 game in some other milleau but I don't...
