I don't see how you'd lose your two best fighters, anyway. Wouldn't the one with the better initiative fall in, and then the second would switch to plan B? Of course, that's assuming the first one misses her reflex save in the first place. Oh, how did the party react to Astrid's revelation...

I think it says more about V's purchasing habits. Honestly, what high level wizard doesn't have a few dozen wands for emergencies? Or even a staff? Seriously, one decent wand/staff with fireball, a fly spell, a wall of force, and another dose of invisibility/protection from arrows would turn...

I'm confused about why D&D has to struggle to maintain profitability in the first place. I know a number of third party companies a struggling, but I thought that since 3rd ed, the brand was energized and generally successful. Did that change since then? And even if it has, are we really...

I'm getting the "gut-punch" feeling myself. I agree that reading large texts online are hard to read, and just not as viable a solution in the first place. I don't own a laptop, so I'd have to reprint everything, and I like to read magazines away from the computer in the first place. That's...

I'll second the wolf in sheep's clothing. It's a killer tree stump...with teeth...and tentacles...and it lures adventurers in with a fake bunny. In terms of evolutionary plausibility, that makes the gelantinous cube see reasonable, and even the classic "mad wizard" theory suggests an extremely...

I'd say the DM's ultimate goal is generally not to kill the party members, but to surprise them and make them really think they're about to get killed. It's that edge that really is the tough part to hit. Anyway, Dru, never mind the other concerns. Thanks to the powers of GOOGLE, I managed to...

Okay, fair enough. Though I still need Dru's help to get at my old monster stats, at least before teh end of the weekend. As for Dravot, technically, my ideas fairly rarely killed you guys in Dru's game. :)

Well, I'll wait for Dru's word on the subject. :) Speaaaking of which, Dru, I don't suppose you still have a link to the old "Help me make monsters and stuff" board for that campaign, do you? I was archiving my notes on unique rules that I created, and I noticed that I somehow deleted half...

Yay! Does this mean I get to help again? Dru?

For one thing, I already have City of Heroes. How would this game be any different from a typical MMO? For another, because I actually like DMing? It's the same reason I'm not satisfied in just playing video games and writing design documents for games I'd like to see exist. I want to tell...

As a hopeful game designer, I think the idea of making the Wright style of game-design the standard bothers me, and it makes as much sense as the occasional claim that all games in the future should be MMOs. I enjoy Wright games and am chomping at the bit for Spore, but I wouldn't want to give...

I heard of some systems like this before, but I never had the need to use them. I have a new character who wants to play a younger character, but I don't know how to alter her stats for it or compensate if weaker than normal characters. Are there any rules that account for this, or perhaps a...

Heh, I forgot that this game takes place in the same world as the last one. The Judges could interfere with the plot as things continue quite a bit!

Okay, Rhialto, I'll send you the information. I should have a game this week, so we might be able to have you ready by this saturday. Pbartender, did you get the email I sent you yet?

Sounds good. Tell me what he says. I hope to have another game as early as next saturday, so we'll try to get him in if there's time. Pbartender, I'll be happy to send an email with some basics about the game.

I posted here about a year ago about a new campaign I was starting. The game is still going on, but I lost a few players to time and distance problems; the usual DM's laments. As such, I'm looking to add at least a player or two back into the group. We play 3.5 with just a few house rules...

Are any of you still looking? My D&D group just lost a few players, and we're looking to expand the group again to make up for it. We play every other saturday, from 2-6, though the time may change. Currently, we're 6th level and use 3.5 ed rules with only a few house rules. The game takes...

Just a certain low-Dexterity wizard's player. You know, I still tell the story of the wild magic continent sometimes? :)

Personally, I always spelled his name as "The Evil DM who ended a three year campaign by destroying the whole universe." But in a pleasant tone.

If you follow the links to his home page and then to the Book of Ratings section, he has some funny articles about the 1 ed. era classes and monsters as well. I think someone mentioned it to Gary in one of the Q&A threads a year or two ago. Gary was...not amused. :)
