I really like this concept, Nifft. It seems perfect for a setting such as the Wilderlands where there is a strong dichotomy between the orderly, law-bound cities and the rough-and-tumble chaos of the wilderness. I may use this (with a few minor adjustments) in my upcoming campaign. Thanks!

Same story here. I love the GOO version and think it's just about one of the best single volume campaign settings I've ever read. Unfortunately, I haven't been able to play it, either. My players have the oddest ability to pick characters that go against whatever setting we decide to use. Last...

While this isn't quite as bad as Evian or Aquafina...a Dread Pirate in Greyhawk named William Roberts always sort of stuck in my craw. First off, because it's a bit too contemporary for Greyhawk, in my opinion. The second reason is the obvious desire to essentially be the character from The...

In my last campaign (Greyhawk) the gods were only "Fairly" important, but in my upcoming campaign (Wilderlands) they'll be "Very" important.

Guess I should have read a bit closer before voting. I went for the first option (same character for years), but I suppose it's a bit more of a hybrid. I like levels 1-15, but I prefer it to take much longer two years. Maybe this is simply because I play only an average of once every three...

The demise of the magazines will have no effect on my purchase of WotC material, but I still can't say I'm pleased about it. I never subscribed to either magazine, but I did purchase an average of three issues a year. I live in a fairly rural area where it's an hour drive to the nearest...

Well, that's a stinger, that is. Sounds like something I'd expect to find in an April 1st announcement. I can't help but think that this does not bode well for the future. Even though I never subscribed to either magazine, I did buy two or three issues a year. I've gotten more use out of some of...

Swashbucking Adventures by AEG has quite a few feats that I've allowed in my swashbuckling campaign. One that might be of use to you is Dashing and Daring which allows an unarmored individual to add their Charisma modifer to their AC. There's also an additional +2 Charisma-related skill checks...

As a yearly average since the release of 3.0e, I'd say in the $200-$500 range. I bought four (4) WotC books last year, though, so I'd say just barely into the $100-$200 range for 2006.

Both of the above books are good suggestions. I've been running a campaign centered around an (singular, there's only one that survived from a previous age) airship for around six years now and those books have helped quite a bit. While most of the material in Stormwrack deals with the sea...

Personally, I dislike Fly. It brings another dimension to the game and devalues skills such as Climb and Jump. Or...maybe I'm just bitter because I made the mistake of giving the Dread Pirate in my campaign a Phoenix Helm (Complete Arcane).

I've only discovered C&C recently myself, but I for one love it. I know that my players would not love it, however, as they've grown dependent on a thousand books for feats and skills. D&D without feats and skills? Inconceivable!! I think it's much better for the casual gamer, however. I have a...

Mace the Grey, a big craggy-faced, drunken, brawling, womanizing priest (cleric) of Olidammara. Think Friar Tuck as interpreted by Frank Miller. Originally, Diarmuid "Mace" MacGhee was a character from my homebrew campaign back in the early 90s when the only book I had was the Rules Cyclopedia...

It might sound like something in a pamphlet used to tell if you're an alcoholic, but I like to have a glass of brandy or scotch before I run a game. You can call it "taking the edge off" or "just to relax," but it does seem to make things run smoother. I'm a naturally introverted person and it...

Isn't this essentially Shinto? Rokugan (Legend of the Five Rings) basically has the same concept of faith and the spirits (Shintao).

True Neutral. Drizzt doesn't sway me one way or the other. I read the Dark Elf Trilogy and that was more than enough for me. Those novels weren't bad (in fact, compared to some of the other D&D novels of that era, they were better than average), but the character doesn't instill in me any...

That's a lot of trees!

I would say you're just a bad, bad person filled with evil and fish! Kidding. Though, I have no idea why you have this problem. Apparently, you enjoy winning. Or, perhaps you just enjoy the player's losing. Who knows? Take heart! The first step to recovery is admitting you have a problem. *heh*

Worshipping Ben & Jerry, most likely.

Burial. Assuming there's a corpse. Unless I'm doing dungeon crawls, which I rarely do, the heroes of my campaigns cannot simply be replaced by another character. The story and the characters become so closely bound that the end of one pretty much means the end of the other. However, I'm not...
