This thread sure did make me smile a lot. Keep it up, folks. Hmm, people say this is wonderful for the children -- this is wonderful for you and your children. :) Too cool, everyone. Thanks for starting the thread, Rel.

A simple idea -- everyone begins as an amnesiac doppleganger. That is, without a mind, without a true shape, without a true gender, etc. (They wake up a blank humanoid shape.) I ran a game where the players were amnesiacs, and true neutral, and their actions determined their dreams which...

Eh, just an idea: full or half plate mail, 10% weight increase, masterwork, the shell is worth 500gp and they can subtract that from the price if they're crafting it themself (that sounds funny, pardon,) and it has armor spikes built onto it for free. You could describe the how the pincers now...

Hmm, if you don't want to do anything overly complex (not that that's that bad or anything,) you could just make an Eldritch Knight. Heck, here's a link: You can fight well (not quite as well a pure fighter,) and you can cast spells (not quite as well as a pure wizard,) but put them together and...

Well, you'll probably have lots of luck here. You might just want to ask your brother for help, in case he does anything special, or wants to help you create a character himself. (I dunno, I really liked helping my brother create his first character, but this won't always be true, etc.) Anyway...

One problem you'll have with statistics is thinking certain things are crazy broken until you see them in action. Heck yes a dragon will rip up a fighter, shield or no... it's a dragon, after all! Is a shield negligable? Not really, even once you're really high level and you have an animated...

Nod. It's like a good-aligned cleric casting spells with the evil subtype. They're cold subtyped creatures. It's anathema. ...and a lot more importantly, it's theme!

Cool, really cool, excellent intro, keeps being steadily entertaining. Keep it up! :)

Eh, here's an idea that addresses both issues to one degree or another: The issues are: 1) Raise dead makes death a non-issue (losing a level is not enough of an impact.) 2) Raise dead makes players sit out of the game for too long if it is too difficult to achieve. (Other players going to...

Hmm. I'd buy it if it was significantly cheaper. Is there any word on an edition of the 3.5 PHB that includes the errata for a more affordable price?

Generally, about 20-30%. I tend to do a lot of overland encounters. My last campaign had no dungeons... well, maybe a few "site-based" adventures, I guess. Hah. Call a site-based adventure "anything that involves mapping a continuous location that involves rolling initiative more than once...

Well, there's always the simple solution of having a friend or family member order it for you with their visa card, and you give them the corresponding money they spent -- unless no one you know happens to have one. I've no idea if there are visa cards in Germany. If it comes down to it...

Note to everyone: This is a player complaining that a DM has all of his NPCs fight using run away tactics, I'm pretty sure. If a DM continually uses the same tactics, just counter them. Get a reach weapon, when he runs away you'll get to hit him regardless of spring attack, I believe. Start...

ring of prot +2 is basically a waste. could get a ring of prot+5 and replace nondetection amulet with amulet of natural armor +5 (in certain circumstances) although the addition to your ac might be moot at this point. definitely ditch the mantle, SR21 is entirely worthless. could always go for a...

hmm. I like the dungeonpunk thing, to a degree. I don't really care if things stick to Tolkien or not -- I've never even read him. (The horror!) I like Harry Potter a lot more than Tolkien, when it comes down to it. (Although that's basing the potter books vs the Tolkien movie, which isn't...

My DMG... Add unearthed arcana -- most of it. It's good to have options, and some of these make the game easier to play, especially for beginners, and it opens up a lot of options for others. UA sets a good bar for complex house rules. To agree with Crothian and add a specific, use a "how to...

Well, first, you might just want to ask the players if they're still interested in continuing, and if not, you could just try a different game. Or you could try something to try and make the game more the pace of your players. But, from what you've said: Not all of your encounters need to...

To the alignment question, I don't have a good answer. That's a really neat situation you put the characters in, though. Sounds like fun.

Here's a list of fallacies in arguments: http://www.nizkor.org/features/fallacies/ (There's 42 there, and all of those use English titles instead of the typical Latin.) Also... I couldn't find the rules for debate quickly, but, I can't say relegating it to mechanics would be terribly...

I just started using MS OneNote for a campaign... it's actually helped a lot, in a way it forces you to organize. Character sheets, reference sheets, pdfs and like all just go in a folder in my desktop called "gaming schtuff" and if I want to find something, I just use a search function. MS...
