    What are your gaming stuff mishaps?

    Did you disown them? I would.

    This is getting silly (my collection)

    And there's me with a single meagre 2.5 foot shelf of D&D Books & Dragon mags. My D&D Miniature collection is pretty sweet though (spanning a load of boxes on a shelving system of 6 feet wide, 5 feet high and 2 feet deep) :o. But I don't expect to trump Merric there either.

    Review of Kobold Quarterly Issue #21 (Spring 2012) by Open Design

    Looks nice, still looking for a good hardcopy RPG magazine since Dragon went digital only. Would you reccommend this? I'm a 3.x player mostly, but like fluff and ideas from all editions.

    My players are unstoppable

    I'm currently playing in a 3.5 campaign with an experienced group of players with a relatively inexperienced DM. We were having a bit of a cakewalk initially too. Just some things we pointed out to him: - Challenge rating is very fickle. Dragons, Demons, Devils are generally overpowered for...

    What are your gaming stuff mishaps?

    Not really lost, but I did sell all my 2nd Edition D&D books when we made the switch to 3.5 (skipped 3.0). Still regretting it.

    Your d20...an inny or outy?

    As player (50% of the time) - I prefer not to see them. I don't want to know the stats of the monster attacking me, helps me in the suspension of disbelieve. As a GM (other 50% of the time) - I tend to roll everything hidden. I also think some rolls should always be rolled hidden by the GM...

    Other forms of treasure

    big fan of campaigns where magic items are rare. I'm one stingy DM and like the concept of: Your character rules, not his equipment.

    +Cha for a Sorc

    assuming we're talking D&D 3.x, where's this race from? normal aasimar is also a pretty sweet race for a sorcerer, but you do have the +1 LA.

    Would you quit a game if....

    Water Bob: You could also make it part of the game. You already got the left-for-dead option, so make sure to point that out to the player in question. What I would suggest further , is that this player's character might get to save up his part of any treasure to be able to buy a limited...

    Baldur's Gate Countdown Ends... Baldur’s Gate: Enhanced Edition for Summer 2012

    Well, my dilemma is that our home-pc is slightly broken in that I can't play any videogames on it anymore, money being tight and my wife contemplating on buying an android-device, I hope they will include options for that as well.

    Would you quit a game if....

    Ah, yes. I remember the death of Dagon Silverhammer, my favourite character ever, Level11 Dwarven fighter/cleric (D&D 3.5E). He got jumped by Orogs, the rest of the party were too afraid to intervene, sneaked away and left him too die. At least they gave him a proper burial. Wasn't a reason...

    Player Distractions.

    We also have a "non-electronic device unless used for ingame purposes" rule. Somebody texts you, it's ok to check if it's important, but unless it's a genuine emergency, you will not reply, but apologize for interrupting the game. The same for phonecalls, if not important, don't answer. If...

    What do Medusababies eat?

    IMHO our GM could've done more with it, but this is how the situation was concluded in last night's session: - After long and deliberate and quite vocal discussion between partymembers, we did decide to take it with us for the time being, postponing our final decision what to do with it. We...

    Stupidest things PCs/DMs have done

    Another one which I would categorize under "lost in translation". Wasn't as much a stupid action per se, but I feel I have to share. English isn't our party's first language, but as all books are in English, we tend to use that anyway. My friend's ex played with us for a while and she DM-ed a...

    Fetch me a whore

    Surprises me that no one said Aasimar yet.

    Stupidest things PCs/DMs have done

    from our previouis session, succubus encounter, during combat: DM: "The succubus tries to grab you and leans over to you pouting her lips. [touch attack hits, roll opposed grapple]" Our rogue: "I drop my weapons, voluntairily fail my grapple and kiss her on the mouth." Rest of the party...

    What do Medusababies eat?

    just a short update, this upcoming wednesday the campaign continues (we cancelled one session because of a death in the DM's family). the e-mail discussion we had about what to do with the baby concluded as: We're going to lock it in a relatively safe room, with plenty of food (per DM's...

    Your favorite house rules

    some houserules we implemented in our 3.5 games: 1. screw pythagoras: 1 square = 1 square even if it's diagonally. 2. ask for a reroll: you can ask for the DM to reroll healing dice (cure spells) and hit point rolls on level up. When you ask for it you have to take it even if it's lower...
