Cool Campaigns Based on Books My favorite was the Feist Riftwar/Serpentwar settings. Its a great story. Apparently it was actually a game based 500 years after the original series. The owners of the game system maintain a website, however it hasn't been maintained for 10 months. Its at...

Re: New Site Wow, it looks alot different. I like the pull down menu, but I nearly missed it cause it was right at the top on the window. Maybe you could put a buffer (or banner) up there. I like the larger space for the news, but without the menus on each side it seems it looks alot like the...

Let me say a couple things. Give the guy a pat on the back for trying. (I stumbled into FR thinking it no different than any other campaign.) Then remind him of balance and tell him no. Yes, it should be exotic; yes, if he wants it masterwork he should pay for it. No questions there. My...

How many D-Cells does a Power Gamer Need? I really dont see a difference between role-players and roll-players except in extream situations. I DM for a guy who is playing a dwarven cleric of the earth god, and being only 2nd level has a +13 on all craft attempts. He role-plays his character...

When I go to game face to face I always have a number of things 1. An adventure w/map that encompasses 10 pages with the stat blocks for monsters, treasures. and relevant DCs for skill checks. I will even write down the "theoretical" CR of the encounter (which may change depending on the...

Jeeze... 300+ pages of material and we've seen what...5-10. Telling us "They're coming out with _ and _ and even the _" does nothing to damage the sell-ability of the book. I , however, do NOT condone the posting of whole-sale copied info. -PS: wow, I need to have this book now...it look real...

My favorite classes span the boards, but the ones I mostly play are spellcasters of some sort. Toppsy- Human Necro13/Clr of Death 5: I've been playin this guy for ever, but he's a great character. Ardor ab Funestare- Human Necro 5: Hey, necros are cool. Rodgar- Dwarver Wiz5/Drd1: A wisdom of...

Laptops I love my old laptop, but I'm not all that attached to it. When I game the laptop stays closed until the combat starts up. Then I've got to open up my combat program and then we dice. I've also used a graphing calculator with a dice program in it, as dice at my school are considered to...

You scored 185 out of a possible 490. That's 37.76% for you math-geek types. Congratulations! Eh... what can I say. I've only played half a decade. :D

Magic or Not To Magic. As I see it Elves are very quiet and composed (generally not considering Drow & Wild Elves). I find it hard that Humans would be the ones defending. I mean an Elf and a Forest...AND magic...what else do you want. Humans without magic are very strong. 200 commoners have...

I would KILL for some Midkemia RPG books. I avidly await their switch to d20...

Heyas, With the resent epiphany of PDFs, Wizards has released everything in PDF format. I think that's great, they look nice and incorporate pictures with the text. The only problem I have is the size. I use a laptop for many of my tabletop games and this thing is ancient. (386 Intel, 16 MB...

Gritty, not gritty, or in between? I love Gritty Fantasy books. I love the "White Robe" fantasy books. Goodkind IMO was a great writer. I'm not saying that his works are nausea-less; his writing did, however, bring the "castration" passage come alive in my mind. His story gets drawn out (As far...

I'm gonna go with 125 people...Monte Cook is a BIG name in both D20 and D&D...lots of people for sure.

Magic and Thimtona In my campaign, Thimtona, arcane magic and sorcerous magic are different. Sorcerers are basically normal people who have somehow "contracted" magic. This can be transmitted by blood, magical radiation, or a bane place upon the PC. It asserts it self, coursing through their...

Hear it from the source Well, I think that women gamers are a GREAT addition to the party. I have DMed two adventures with women. My first was the success story....the second...let's just say, It doesn't support my appointing :p. My first game with a girl (yes, girl, I was 15 at the time)...

Change My Group? Hmmm, well as the DM, I really want to at least get the game underway. My PCs on the other hand don't want to make time to play, but constantly nag about the next game. To prevent the players from falling into their normal classes, I created 10 second level PCs from which...
