Holy Moly! I was one of the ten 14-15 year olds on the board back then... (I was 15)... now that I'm 18, I'm slowly moving into the majority!

You should meet Bugaboo. :p Anyways, it sounds like you had a blast, Steverooo! On my 18th Birthday, I invited a bunch of non-gaming friends over and had a "Be a Nerd for a Night" bash. I taught them a sort of D&D-lite, and ran an adventure. They had a blast. A few weeks ago I get a phone...

Well, I sent in my sahaugan to be replaced with a gold dragon, and they refused! Those jerks!

I always like making the characters the weenies with big guns. In my last campaign, I gave them a big ol' artifact that they slowly learned how to use, but was the target of every evil genius, treasure-hungry monster, and rival adventuring group across the kingdom. In the campaign before that...

I was thinking basically the same thing. You were talking about building up the combat until a final climax (boy howdy, that doesn't sound like innuendo). Perhaps Spellcasters have to cast lower-level spells in order to build up enough magical energies for higher level ones? For example... a...

#50 (or higher, depending on how many Mr. Krons are found!)... Two arms are found grasping the edge of a windowsill outside a rather tall buildings. Both arms end in bloody stumps where they should connect with the body. Across the knuckles of the right hand is the tattooed word "Hold," and...

21) The smoking boots of the victim are found standing in a pile of ash. Inside the boots are a pair of feet, with barbwire tattoos around the ankles. There's a mishmash of soil and junk stuck to the bottom of the boots. A Search Check, DC 15, will reveal a tooth. A Knowledge (Anatomy) Check of...

As others have said (and I've vehemently agreed), the reason I stopped reading and, eventually, stopped subscribing to Dragon was because the articles just plum weren't inspiring. My favorite articles have been the old Ecology Articles (the ones with tactics and strategies for the monsters...

1) Hero Points. They are rewarded for coming to session on time, bringing snacks or other neat items, and good roleplaying. They can be spent to do otherwise impossible actions in the game. 2) No Multiclass Restrictions. I just plum don't like 'em. 3) Last Comment: When the out-of-game chatter...

A paladin named Henry. He fought some skeletons. Then he fought some ogres. Then some goblins. Then ogres. Then skeletons and goblins. Then goblins, an ogre, and two skeletons. Then two ogres. Then some goblins. And then a skeleton. Guess what miniatures the DM had? :D

Thanks, Morrus! You're an awesome dude, and a Superhero in my book! - Tsunami... aka Stuporhero!

I just love DiTerlizzi's differentation between the Orcs (http://www.diterlizzi.com/art/games/dungeons_dragons/dnd-orc.html) of 2e and the Hobgoblins (http://www.diterlizzi.com/art/games/dungeons_dragons/dnd-hobgoblin.html) of 2e...

I get the same feeling, Sebastian. Reading the 2e Monstrous Manual, I feel like I'm reading a book written about monsters... reading the 3e Monster Manual, I feel like I'm reading the rules BEHIND monsters. Now I'm not saying that I dislike the Third Edition books, but I almost wish they had...

Wow! He takes all those silly-looking demons (cough, cough, demogorgon!), and makes them look rather frightening! Good show!

I sold mine for some pogs.

It would be quite easy to work into most characters. A barbarian who has the spirit of an ancient evil within him. When he rages, he's letting the evil spirit possess him. A sorcerer whose spells come from the spirit of an ancient dragon that now resides within him. As he goes through his...

Hello folks! I'm in my first year at UC Santa Cruz, and I was just a-wondering if anyone here happened to live on the campus... So... any EN Worlders at UC Santa Cruz who would be possibly interested in gaming?

Thanks for all the input, folks! Yeah, I think the only way this would work would be to slow down the xp intake, which I was thinking about while I typed but didn't mention. Whoops!

Hey, looks like a nice, fun calendar. I like the notes alongside the monsters, and that the actually "calendar" portion in mapped out like a dungeon!

So the other day I was pondering levelling. I like levelling, and I think it's fun for the characters, but I feel fast levelling changes the game too rapidly. Then again, slow levelling can become boring for the players. So here's what I was thinking: I figure each level "upgrade" is divided...
