I said "No", but to qualify there are always alchemists, hedge-wizards and "herbalists" who'll sell "potions", "charms", poisons and the like, but not in great quantities. Magic items might occasionally be held by merchant or wizard's guilds, and made available for exchange (usually for rare...

No, I say, NO! PCs are a part of the world, where there are people and things bigger, tougher, stronger, more magical and meaner than them out there. Were the Rebels better than the Empire? Nope; outgunned, outshipped, outmanned, over-powered and under-Jedied, the Rebellion had to be...

I've always pretty much played roughly equal numbers of humans & non-humans over the last 24+ years. It really depends on my mood.

I love the battlemat, prefer to play with one (at least with group scenarios) and bought one the instant I could afford it. Prior to that it was sketches on graph paper, which, while do-able, was a tremendous waste of paper as opposed to the economical reusable 'mat and wet-or-dry-erase markers...

Dragons; sick to death of 'em.

What we've always done for magical treasure: Each player rolls a die for each character he plays; the highest roll goes first, and then the next highest, and so on down the line. Mundane valuables (coin, gems, furs, etc) are divvied up more or less equally between characters (new...

Hasn't everyone heard? The Illusionist was found dead in the bathroom of a Stuckey's in Ohio, shot twice in the back of the head, execution-style.

I don't give a wet slap about names that my players come up with, generally; I've had a "Winky the Elf", "Everest", "Alexandrite", "Vassal" and "Velcro Rayon" IMC, and it hasn't detracted from the game in the slightest. As a player and a DM, I use a mix of real-world and made-up names without...

I think I'll join you. *opens bottle of Scotch*

My favorite verbal components (from an old D&D game): "Seven rings has Raggador/Indigo to deepest black/But Oshtur grant me something more/The Crimson Bands of Cyttorak!" (good one for wall of force, forcecage, otiluke's resilient sphere. etc) "Ahnahl nathrakh, uhr vahss bethud, dochthiel...

Six-Int Ten-Str, Paladin: "Dur, hay guys, whut end of da pointy shiny does I hold onta agin?" Six-Int Ten-Str, Paladin: "Cheeze, dis armor's *grunt* heavy, an' dis walker's not much help, neither." Six-Int Ten-Str, Paladin: "Whussa orc look like agin?."

I like art, but it's hardly ever a deciding factor for me; I would just as soon see 15th century woodcuts used as be inundated with more frelling dungeonpunk. I hatehateHATE the WotC standard of slick full-color interiors with illustrations bumping text left, right and center; if one must...

Walrus people? Like in Dragonlance?

Welcome to last week.

Santos stumbled over a pipe in the darkened oilfield as he carried the moist, twitching canvas sack; he held it way from himself gingerly. The thing inside mewled wetly and scratched the interior with slowly-hardening talons. He wished he'd never promised to help his sister get rid of it, all...

5e? Hell, we're already in the middle of it! This is some serious deep-immersion RP, Baby!

Rest, heal, fornicate, craft items, research spells, buy/repair gear, get drunk...and you have to be careful of the order in which these acts are performed...

Manny turned restlessly in his sleep as a cockroach scuttled over his face, hardly feeling the prick of the needle as it entered the vein in his arm. His blood slowly flowed out and into the tube that ran down into the empty wine-bottle, one of several in a row. His daughters watched greedily...
