    Who rules the githzerai?

    "Didn't know we had a king. I thought we were an antonymous collective." "You're fooling yourself! We're living in a dictatorship! A self perpetuating autocracy in which the working classes..." "Oh there you go, bringing class into it again."

    If DMing was a job, how much should you get paid?

    Man, when i voted "oter" and suggested being paid in dice, i was joking. So many people are asking for real money, or saying their time is worth so much more... Listen, I had a DM who charged me to play, once. I left after it became apparent that there was no output for my input.

    Is the barbarian too powerful in your campaign?

    Okay, okay... Middling skill points. Not especially good. I mean, it's half what a rogue gets, Wizards get fewer skill points, but since their class stat focus is intelligence, they wind up with more than the barbarian almost guarenteed.

    If DMing was a job, how much should you get paid?

    Voted Other. I play maybe four hours a week. I feel like i earn, maybe... mmm... two d12's and a d8. With the possibility of a percentile die tip. Now, For the marathon sessions i've run (including one 16 hour game session) Now we're looking into some serious payola. At least a core rule...

    Not a Poll! Who are your favourite D&D villians?

    Bargle. The Baddie I love so much that i converted him to 3.5 / Dragonstar to make him an admiral, and the (secret) BBEG in my current campaign. He's the commander over the HMPEF (House Mezz. Planetary Expeditionary Force: i.e. the division of the space fleet that conquers new planets) from...

    How big of a deal is treasure to you?

    Voted true neutral: I'd love to play a game with low magic... on the provision that the rest of the world was held to the same low-magic rules. And I don't just mean the NPC's, I mean the monsters AND the game world too! I had a GM once who tried to make magic fascinating and exciting... so we...

    DM's: would you rather get stuff or 'involvement' from players

    I once had a DM who demanded tribute, in the form of cash. Never again. Me? I want my players to not only enjoy the game, but to expand on my enjoyment of it too!

    Scroll Bandolier

    Never prevented any of my players from doing any of those things! I was just sharing my experiences. And yes, the blank scroll is the best bet. (though a legitimate merchant will just return the scroll once the job was done) As for cost: The fact that the player will be paying for the scrolls...

    Scroll Bandolier

    Tell him sure: charge him an amount suitable for a normal nonmagical article of clothing (a few silver at most) And then say that the seamstress / tanner will need a day or two to make one for him. oh, and he'll be needing a sample scroll to get a feel for the size... There. Frankly, my...

    PHB2 = World of Warcraft D&D?

    On page 31... I just don't see it. I see pointy ears + long hair: but guess what? i go over and grab my old AD&D manual, and i see pretty much the same thing out of elves in that edition too. On page 73: I REALLY don't see it, since there's no elf on page 73. Now, if you want Warcraft: look...

    Total Newbie: Tell Me About Magic: The Gathering

    A forewarning: I quit playing after Portal Which i believe came out just after 4th edition. M:tG is a fun game as long as you do not take it seriously and just goof around with the decks, and have friends with the same philosophy. Problem is, if you play against anyone who has any kind of...

    PHB2 = World of Warcraft D&D?

    Actually, the Knight's challenge isn't really about holding aggro, (incidentally, it's a term that i never heard before WoW came out. Excluding Steve Irwin's crocodile rival..) 1st challenge: Straight + to hit / + to damage / + to will save Vs. targeted enemy. Like a ranger's favored enemy...

    Need some good Riddles/Puzzles

    Hmm... Okay, dealing with them in order: 1. Block pushing puzzle. Steal one from your favorite block-pushing videogame. Get the blue blocks on the blue squares, and the red blocks on the red squares, then the door opens. Of course, he can only push the blocks (since they fit EXACTLY down the...

    DC/VA/MD ENW Gameday [Cleveland Park, October 27 @ 9:30]

    I'm in northern Baltimore... I've got a good record as a Master of ceremonies... but let me look around for a convention hall. How many people typically come to the MD/VA/DE gameday? If it's small enough, we could rent something like a conference room, if it's big enough, i know an auditorium...

    [Not-a-Poll]How much do you restrict player chargen choice?

    I have one MAJOR restriction on chargen: You must have the book from which you are making the character. not a printout of a PDF, unless that is how it was originally sold. I want to see the book before you play the character. That alone was enough to make one person quit my game. I think...
