Sure get rid of subraces of everything. One elf, one dwarf, one human (bye-bye human-derived monsters, and good riddance!), one goblinoid, one halfling, one gnome, one giant and one dragon, no exceptions! Especially Dragons; talk about totally made-up munchkin crap. Frost-spitting deagons...

The DM doesn't have to allow the existence of a trade in magic items; he may have very different base assumptions in his game.

Hate level drain; ability drain or a specific status ("Drained"?) which carries penalties for every "level" that would have been drained under the old system would be much more preferable, with reasonable in-game rationales for lessening the effects of the status. Oh, and I want vast herds of...

This assumes that the DM allows you to go "shopping for magic items".

A Sorlock?

Damage dice for spells must be purchased directly from WotC; no more raiding Mom's "Yahtzee" set. Each die needed costs double what the previous die did. Ex: 10th level wizard casting fireball (10 dice) will pay $1.00 for the first die, $2.00 for the second, $3.00 for the third, and so on)...

Rule One: No TIEFLINGS! Rule Two: No member of the party is to maltreat the Kobolds in any way at all -- if there's anybody watching... Rule Three: No TIEFLINGS! Rule Four: Anybody caught not looting will 'ave a bottle of Alchemist's Fire lobbed at 'is 'ead.. Rule Five: No TIEFLINGS! Rule Six...

I can, at this time, neither confirm nor deny that I am Spartacus.

That is totally too much. In our games, it's more like "Hey, he's holding a powerful artifact! We should be able to knock it out of his hand!" The 2e Complete Fighter had a reasonable system for called shots; insta-kills and dismemberment weren't allowed, but disarming, pinning ("stapling"...

My first PC was a 1e barbaric fighter (not a Barbarian; we didn't have that class) who wielded either a broadsword and morningstar or his trusty two-hander. I still play him from time to time, as he's survived fairly well (only been killed three times!) over the last 26 or so years. I play a...

Isn't that the truth! It's one thing to reminisce with people you've gamed with about a shared gaming experience ("Remember when Tom's minotaur fell in love with Sally's dwarf?") and have a good mutual chuckle and quite another to see a stranger's face freeze into a distant but polite expression...

Miracle Max & Engywook.

Hobbits, yo.

Elves in our games are roughly one part JRRT, one part Pini with one part each of 1e and 2e. They are in decline, mostly keeping to their forested enclaves except for a few merchant-types, diplomats and adventurers. They're as inclined to psionics as they are to magic, generally they follow EQ...

Definitely Paksenarrion. Doc Savage and his Amazing Five (d20 Modern) The Avenger and his team (d20 Modern) The Peers of Charlemagne William Tell Xena, Gabrielle, Autolycus, Salmoneous and Joxer Boudicca Matt Dillon, Festus Haggen, Miss Kitty Russell, Doc Adams, The Lone Ranger, Tonto...

Wonder Woman has a passing resemblance to Jill Hennessy from "Crossing Jordan".

That was frelling brilliant.

At least buy as much of the gaming stuff as you can afford; you might be able to work out something with another board member to sell 'em on eBay. Manoman, what a windfall situation! I envy you in ways that the mortal mind cannot comprehend!

Soundless or quiet lightning? That's just plain silly. A lightning bolt would have to be at least as loud as the Emperor's Force Lightning in Return of the Jedi if not louder. I'd be inclined towards louder, such as the phaser cannon in The Menagerie or the lightning bolts in Excalibur (when...
