    D&D on NPR

    I could have done without the groin cleaving myself, but otherwise it is a great piece. Morrow

    The gaming/fiction disparity, or "Why are dark elves cliche?"

    Bingo. "The most evil, feared, despicable people in my largely white campaign world (or fantasy novel) are black women." It was a bad idea when Gygax had it, and it's a bad idea now. Morrow

    Treasures in Freeport

    Ronin Arts' Treasures in Freeport has showed up at RPGNow. I'm a fan of all things Freeport, but I'm not familiar with Ronin Arts or Michael Hammes' work. Has anyone downloaded Treasures yet? What did you think? Morrow

    Are you planning on running an Eberron campaign when it comes out?

    I'm with you. "Anvilbreaker and Sons is a full service detective agency. We'll find out if your lady is cheating on you, or track down your missing business partner. For a slightly higher fee we'll even retrieve that mystic doodad hidden in a forgotten temple somewhere in the middle of the...

    Races of Destiny

    Yep, Forrester's Against the Elves Campaign was a hoot. I don't know what happened to Forrester, but the game wrapped up when half of the players moved out of town. Morrow

    JollyDoc's Shackled City: FINAL POST [Updated 11/2!!]

    Ah, it all becomes clear. The celestial is both snide and cheap. I have to admit that explanation, while not really surprising, is something of a let down. I was rather hoping to discover that while no one was looking Tilly had hocked the party's new super weapon to pay for a wild night on the...

    JollyDoc's Shackled City: FINAL POST [Updated 11/2!!]

    Sorry to hear that you lost Lee. Wathros was a fun character. I can understand how all the dying would get you down, though. Historical Bright Axes question: What ever happened to Alakast? Nidrama, the snotty celestial points the party toward a bane vs. evil outsiders weapon, they find it...

    Are you planning on running an Eberron campaign when it comes out?

    I've got some ideas that might make a diverting pulp inspired Eberron campaign, but for the moment I'm feeling more love for my Freeport swashbuckling game idea. However, since I haven't met any gamers since moving to east nowhere, I probably won't be running anything any time soon.

    How important are prestige classes?

    You can get a lot of mileage out of D&D without prestige classes. I've never played one, and in fact I've only been in one game where a character had one. (A shadowdancer, if anyone's keeping score at home.) That said, I think its a great mechanic for introducing new character options to the...

    Just picked up the Expanded Psionics Handbook

    If the psionic mind flayer can manifest powers as a 9th level psion, how does that effect their ECL? Morrow

    [Dungeon/ Dragon] The Story of Fedifensor?

    Thanks Alzrius and Wycen, that's very helpful. How did the adventure play out? Did the adventure include stats for Fedifensor? Morrow

    [Dungeon/ Dragon] The Story of Fedifensor?

    Back when I picked up Dungeon #92, I assumed that Fedifensor, the broken sword mentioned in passing in "Interlopers of Ruun-Khazai" was just a throw away plot hook. However, I was recently rereading Dungeon #93, and discovered a mention of Fedifensor in the letters page. Apparently the sword...

    JollyDoc's Shackled City

    Hey, how about posting stats for the rest of the party? I'd like to see some more examples of the exalted rules in practice. Besides, the fans want to know everything about their heroes. Morrow

    The Knights of Ill Fortune (or the Chronicles of Kale, Agent of the Empire)

    So do I. Unfortunately the campaign came to a sudden end when one player and the DM (that would be me) moved away. Don't feel too bad for them though, during the last session Shinobi Killfist, Kale, and company returned to Bellhold several years after their previous adventures. By this time...

    Do you like rules-heavy systems?

    We're talking about games here. We play them for fun. There's a limit to the amount of time and effort I want to put into learning yet another set of rules. D&D is as rules heavy as I get. That's why I love the Open Gaming License. Its great that you can learn the rules once and apply them...

    The contests are OVER! Thanks very much to everyone for playing!

    Keep 'em. Classes provide easily identifiable archetypes that anyone can identify with. They help players, new and old, connect conceptually with the game. Morrow

    The contests are OVER! Thanks very much to everyone for playing!

    I few years ago I started thinking about getting back into D&D. It was a total coincidence that it was the same month the 3rd edition PHB came out. I started looking for more information online, and quickly found the EN boards. Morrow
