Oh, I think there are plenty of couples who can fit quite a bit of lovin' into that duration. :lol:As for your query, my solution is similar to Alzrius', except that my house rule is simply that all true dragons are natural shape changers rather than just the LG varieties. Simple, and effective!

D'Karr has it right. The DMG also suggests that PCs starting from higher than 1st level simply pick whatever mundane gear they want, within reason. As to your second question: It depends on your players' usual racial preferences, and how badly you want them to play humans. Like if nobody has...

Oh man, I couldn't disagree more! I can understand how 'berk' and all the faux-Cockney slang is off-putting to folks familiar with its linguistic roots. But I've seen the explanation, and I still can't parse how 'berk' was derived from that particular C-word IRL. (I can hardly comprehend how...

Fixed that for ya. ;)

4e grog here, still holding out. :) Yes, exactly this, with the exception that I'm not really familiar with anything earlier than 2e. So 4e > 3.x/PF > 2e. 5e may knock the 3e family down to 3rd favorite when I eventually play it -- I do like the new take on vancian casting! -- but I can already...

Yes, all of what Keterys said. You could also just say "It's maaartial magic," and leave well enough alone. :)

Poire is much more coherent than Wick, and makes some good points. I like this one in particular. I've been known to say that D&D's success is in part thanks to the same thing that has made the Bible successful: Appeal to a wide and diverse audience. And Poire nails it much more eloquently than...

Ah yes, because every concern that you don't personally share is a whine. And hey, I love to hear ttrpgers blame perceived problems on other wildly successful game mediums. It's so hipster, and makes me so proud to be a ttrpger. Anyhow, if you had bothered to glance at the second page, you...

I have to admit that I mentally roll my eyes every time someone refers to WoW or Diablo as a rpg, however much I do love those games. At the very least, rping in a mmorpg is very different from rping in a ttrpg. But overall, Wick's thoughts don't strike me as very insightful, and I certainly...

I know that when I get in a car, all that really matters in the end is getting from point A to point B. I don't need to drive super-fast like a race driver does, because racing is a different activity with different goals. I also know that if I'm driving a poorly engineered car, there's a higher...

Ah, it's the ol' "The GM's job is to ensure that everyone gets spotlight time, so balance isn't important" fallacy, in extended blog-rant form! With a big helping of implied "You're having badwrongfun" thrown in for good measure! News at 11.

Yeah, this sounds like a distinct possibility. I know that one of my reactions to boredom with a game is to become listless and unengaged, but to keep playing if I think that a friend is into the game. ...The first day I get bored, at least. I don't show up to boring games week after week, but...

Have you straight-up told them "Guys, it's getting really tiring to lead you around by the noses. If you don't start taking some initiative, one of you are going to have to DM, or we're going to have to find another game."?

Strangely enough, this is the first description of a mimir I've gotten, despite being a PS fan. In addition to Stormonu's suggestion, you could try outright saying "The mimir is basically a magical tourist-guide, without a searchable database." (If that is in fact an accurate description.)

Oooh, I wouldn't object to Gerard, Kerrigan, or Knutson. Not at all!

Two bigs ones for me are the aesthetics and the factions, but I'm not super-picky about the specifics. Like I know you'll never get Tony to do more PS illustrations, so I'm just hoping for artwork with a bit of whimsy. (Unless you perchance have a Ring of Three Wishes...?) And while I do...

I'm going to chime in with those who have replied with 'The interweb gives.' For better or for worse*, any game or edition published by WotC is going to be dissected by countless fans, and then discussed on the forums. It happened with 3e, it happened with 4e, it's already happening with 5e, and...

I love how you keep trying to put words in my mouth. If at first you don't succeed, try and try again, eh Imaro?

Lol, yeah, Imaro has to be pretty tame to avoid the mod squad. But he's determined! I followed this thread when it was new, then got distracted for a week. When I came back, I found page after page of the point-by-point nitpickery, mostly between you and Imaro. I'm not criticizing anyone, mind...

Strawman much? You know, I remember AbdulAlhazrad telling me something about edition warriors that seemed pretty paranoid back in the 3e-4e era. But you've got me half convinced that my faith in humanity was misplaced and that AbdulAlhazrad had a point. So kudos to you! Keep up that rage-on...
