"There's always room for critters." I prefer using the occassional "nasty critter" as a one-shot deal; a lot of fantasy fiction has featured the "lone survivor" or "last pack" of creatures that dwell in isolated or remote locations, and I emulate that a bit. As such, PCs tend to encounter...

Been doing it that way for round-about 2 years. No problems, no regrets, although we did pick up on UA's fractional advancement for after 4th Level and for Low Saves.

I've known about a dozen female gamers over the years (I see lots at Cons, but you can never tell how many are "tag alongs"...), but only one I know has tried to GM. To be honest, I don't know what scares me most: Her liberal use of Vile Darkness, her liberal use of Erotic Fantasy, or the...

Yeah, I've been watching the upadtes. I know I'm down for the "master" book and the critters, and possibly the adventure book. The Atlas would be last on my list, and buying it would depend on how much the other material keeps my interest.

Ink & Quill.

Quite a bit. Nothing like a good plague to stir things up. To which, I use the rules from The Primal Codex for many real-world diseases (Typhus, Disentary, Plague, etc.), combined with the diseases from Book of Erotic Fantasy and Nyambe (with the later bringing in SR for diseases so remove...

Gone for three days and look at the mess I come back too... So much to reply to, I guess I'll just keep it simple: 1. Henry's right; WotC is catering to what sells, look to other companies for good role-playing products. 2. Henry's loosing it; no one in their right minds can overlook...

I'm going to say "yes". That is, when the group's been together for awhile, it goes away. However, I did restart a game that's been on hiatus for some time now and, while the group was familiar to me, it seemed to take an hour or three to get my "sea legs" back because of the lack of time...

I don't know about that... Return to the Temple of Elemental Evil certainly seemed to have a lot of "[Room Inhabitant] attacks when the PCs enter the room" entries in it, many of them being NPCs rather than "monsters".

Agreed. In most of my world, female NPCs tend to be smaller on average than males (except for centaurs, minotaurs and those frisky Amazons, where the opposite is true), but the female PC is under no obligation to fit that mold. They can be taller, stronger, or anything else that the player...

Heck, I don't even use points, but Adventure Based Leveling (i.e., "The adventure's done, everyone gains a level."). One thing we do use is a "debt count". In this, if you use XP (Magic Item Creation, Spells, etc.), it goes into the debt. If your debt equals (Current Level x 1000), the pool...

So Doom is an RPG?

Now, see, this is whay I'm talking about. Yes, you got better with it through the experience of gaming, but I posit that this process occured faster because it was in the rulebooks. In comparison, the typical player is more inclined now to do exactly what the PH says because he's also inclined...

Ain't that the truth... I haven't seen a party of the "usual suspects" in well over a decade.

Actually, almost all of them are available at RPGNow and SVGames.

Oh my god!!! It's mint condition!

Actually, my forgetting that it's there because it's badly written is no substitute, which is why I'm glad a few folks popped in with specific examples. Of course, this doesn't change the fact that the material is shunted into its own section rather than being included alongside the rules it...

Agreed, although my point is about the attitude I dealt with while I was hanging at the WotC boards. As I pointed out earlier, I came to ENWorld because it was better. Yeah, but that doesn't mean we can't talk about it. I'd certainly like to read about other people's campaigns. But I also...

Well, yeah. You'll note that I don't limit any of the above to one class. For instance, in the political/intrigue campaign, the choice would be between Noble or Courtier (while I'd also add to the list any other Base Class that was suitable to the arena of aristocrats and the upper class)...

ROFLMAO!!! This is the most progress this thread's made in days!:lol:
