I have a question for you, is it really your dm's idea of what is good or evil for that restricted character? If that is the case then I have to say it shows a lack of ability in the dm. On the other hand, if it is the restricted character's idea of good and evil then that is completely...

Actually I disagree, dnd has a very hard line definition of law and chaos and stay pretty true to it. They define it in the phb and keep pretty close to it. Devils are truly lawful in that they always keep their word, not the spirit of the deal but their exact words. Demons are chaotic because...

I can agree with some of what you say. For the record the main reason ethics and morals have been turned into interchangable terms is a problem with laymen (not saying you here because you seem to be able to do your research) since philosophy *does* distinguish between morals and ethics (or at...

I don't nec consider myself an apologist, because that innately means that you see something that needs defending or justifying (at least I hope that is the definition you are using instead of the christian version;)). I do not think there is a need for justification unless you are defensive...

"Now, differences in non-moral belief don't unambiguously account for all differences in perceived social mores but if you peel the effects of different situations and non-moral beliefs away, you find a good deal more similarity between various cultures' ethical beliefs than you would find...

Actually a lot of your argument rests on how you define and differenciate (sp) between morals and ethics. That is an argument that has been thrown back and forth between philosophers for ages. I tend to disagree with your theory that these "non-moral" questions are the only real difference and...

Actually, I don't agree that angels are good and demons are bad. I guess I am a little more hardcore gray than some people, but that may be because I read too much Moorcock as a child and am also a taoist. I think a lot of the angels with lawful-good alignment are closer to evil than good...

Something I did in my planescape game to bond everyone together might not be for everyone, cause some players would see it as noseleading but my players liked it. I had that they were all offered an obscene payment for something simple (deliver parchment a to place b kinda thing). Since they...

A lot of you may laugh at me here, but the book I have honestly gotten the most use out of is my Mage Storyteller's guide (the second addition Book of Mirrors one, not revised or whatever). That book is probably my most prized possession for the sole reason that I have yet to run a game that I...

I voted 8-15, let's see if I was right: Kaleon Moonshae (Human campire hunter), Kalen Kalevore (rakasta pirate), Jason Dinalty (gambit type psion), Jessica Dinalty (physlock type psion), Loc'iana Hawkwind (human ranger), L'ociana Hawkmoon (human druid), Kalev Darkwind (rakasta theif), Eriq...

Thanks :) Was trying to figure out which place and since it wasn't *specifically* dnd I thought this was the place, will ask.

It also makes it a bit clear that you are doing your best to slap him, which is also somewhat childish. His comment may have been a bit extreme, but it did sum up the way a lot of people feel. Your retort, however, was unnec. and a bit confrontational, which is *also* unneeded in this forum...

Actually I have to agree here, it seemed clear to me. Anything that is a mechanic I can use however I want, anything that is a proper noun I can't. White Wolf has always been bad about trying to copyright names that can't be copyrighted. Most of their clan names are not original, and many of...

I always wanted to run a "beastmaster" game where the players would play the human beastmaster and the animals. I thought it would be really fun.

Dores Minothi Imagine a world not made up of a planet, but instead of islands held in orbit around a great god sphere. Over one hundred millions years in the past the planet of Frinos was at the height of its culture, technology was not just a science but a religion. It was in this time that...

That is the most twisted, sick and exciting game i've heard about in a long time, Ifeel dirty and sated at the same time, I'm just a weirdo. I can see pulling in Watership Down, Secret of Nymm, and peter rabbit with the mouth of madness and horror of insmouth all together.....wow

LOL, not to worry Hellcow, it's all understood:) Thanks for replying though, and congrats, I will definitely be picking up the book, thinking it and iron kingdoms will fit very nicely in my own homebrew world.

cinematic I run more cinematic games, where there are hordes of what I call grunts (really easy guys who the characters usually plow through ala john woo/spegetti westerns/kill bill) with maybe one or two handlers that are more powerful. That way when you get to the bbeg who is leaps and bounds...

Wow! I've never been on an A team before, I was always the left over kid that the B team was stuck with. I'll try to do the team proud.... and I promise, that self-imposed wedgie in the 4th grade was an accident!

true {This is on shaky ground. None of us know what a spell really sounds like - they probably use different words.} That's true, but in some ways that works to your advantage, since we don't know what they sound like it isn't hard to wonder if it would be possible to muddle things a bit. If...
