Finger placement doesn't match, in goatse the guy's thumbs are on the bottom instead of the top. ... I had to check. :confused: :(

In the book it does mention that the party should quickly discover that the note is a forgery after very little investigation. It's not necessarily tremendously complex and layered, but what's there is really neat in my opinion -- and better for being "simple."

Weird, I wonder why the DM isn't running True20 or something if he wants to run such a low-magic game... but I guess that's not for everyone. A game like that would drive me completely nuts, and I'd have trouble getting into the story. I can say that as for "vicariously cheating" ... I've...

I do enjoy the incoming paladin drama! As per usual I think she's fine, but, well, I'm much less than a stickler about these things.

Yeah, four armed gargoyle... I ruled to let the cleric's stone shape spell end him on a failed save, which they did. (The characters then gleefully smashed him into little tiny bits from the lump he was shaped into!) Perhaps not even the intention of the spell, but, it let the night go on and...

I prefer homebrew games as the DM almost necessarily has a passion for the setting -- and the DM being really into the world really helps me get into the game more than anything else. My homebrew games have gone off a lot better than my published setting games -- because I simply like them more...

That was really funny... I approve!

Stone shape > tomb of horrors, as my players found out. :(

I'd much rather see a sentence of stats (Fighter 4, magic items, HP/AC/attacks/damage) and a paragraph of background. Stats without any background at all, for intelligent NPCs that can be conversed with, aren't even worth having in my opinion. I can generate stats on the fly, but I can't come...

I've run one full campaign without money, and I'm running another game right now without money. No wealth system, just barter. Neither game is primitive, the first was, ah, random, and the in second civilization collapsed (for the heroes.)

Much simpler way to get a random number from 1-56 with your own set of dice: roll percentile dice. If you get 57-00, reroll. done. :P

Oh, and what's wrong with a ranger of Wee Jas? If she allows druids, why not allow what's sort of a druid/fighter as well?

This is a really cool idea. Although I'm not terribly fond of the idea myself, you could have some of the cults be dedicated to good concepts -- could go from cults dedicated to hedonism, etc, to joy, or even family, loyalty, love, etc. I'm not really gunning for grey morality in my games at...

I voted for wild empathy, solely because in my experience it has been far more useful than bardic knowledge. This has been more a function of characters in games I play in interacting with animals, and I have a DM who is particularily fond of animal spirits, where communing with nature is very...

Pardon the aside... From dictionary.com: Charisma: 1. Theology. a divinely conferred gift or power. 2. a spiritual power or personal quality that gives an individual influence or authority over large numbers of people. (other definitions for personal magnetism and leadership follow, of...

Kobolds Ate My Baby is pretty easy to learn!

I'm just glad Belkar used the word squick. The real question is, how many milliWingers is that salsa really worth? :) I'd place it at about 70, myself.

Eh, ask him why he wants to take that feat instead of (insert any appropriate feat that would help his character do what his character actually does.) If he's just a guy there to hang out with his friends and not even really play (which, well, if he's just picking feats that start with A, that...

I sure did scrap the wealth system too. I'd recommend that if CHA is not a caster stat at all (it is for some casters in my world) I'd just give a flat modifier to conviction based on CHA (making dumping it painful, as a negative modifier.) My players haven't used conviction too much so far...

Err, I can't be alone in enjoying Belkar eating chips out of Yok-yok's head, can I? Eh, eh? :) I liked it. Extra-chunky, good stuff!
