One more question, what do you like in a high magic or low magic setting and why?

I am also searching for a grim-n-gritty, The-Viking-cleaves-your-character-in-half feeling, along with the races and other weirdness, so I'm not really sure how to implement it all.

Another gnome fan. I loved them in 2E and in 3E but not in 3.5. The most difficult change for me was the bonus going from Int to Con in 3.0! It made them more interesting to play, but less cool as a race. I think of gnomes as many things: tinkerers, shy forest creatures, and stalwart...

Finally I can reply! Thanks to you all for the replies! :) I have a couple more questions. Could anyone give me a good example of well-written fluff or a good idea they found in a campaign setting? Also, how do you feel about new (relative to 3.5) races or changes to the races (I am bringing...

Hi all! I have been working on a homebrew setting for a while, but I realize I am catering to my tastes as a player and not to the average DnDer. Even though you EN Worlders are by no means average (exceptional :) ), I was hoping you could give me your views on what you expect and like or...

Hey all, I'm in the "next generation", and we're doing fine. I'm fifteen, live in a town of 30,000 people, and I know at least 20 kids my age here who game. Though that may not be "thriving" and we don't all roleplay as much as I would like, it seems that RPGs are not dying here in Claremont, CA

I like the historical tie-in. Thanks for the informationses!

Thank you all very much for helping me see what went wrong and what went right in the stories. I look forward to hearing more.

Thanks! Yeah, I noticed how cliche it was too. Thanks for the input :D

I was inspired by the Eberron Writing Contest (whatever it's called) Thread and decided to post some of my writing. Please give me a score from one to ten (ala Olympics ;)). I think its pretty awful from an honest standpoint and you may or will too, but keep in mind that I'm only fifteen years...

Hi! Hey fellow socaliens( ;) ), I didn't even know such a thing existed, but I assure you I will force my parents (through long hours of nagging) to let me go. Maybe the rest of my many D&D-playing friends will come along. By the way, when is it?

QUOTE(numion) "I was just saying that the world that results from the D&D economy, the one where an adventurer carries around a villages 100 years income in his backpack, isn't necessarily nonsensical (as long as we consider Middle-Earth sensible world, which most do). Like people like to argue...

Me and my group just got the new rules for the Warhammer RPG (for playtesting), and it looks pretty cool.

I didn't mean a setting, I just meant a book devoted to discussing the issue, although I may be showing my ignorance in reference to third party "systems".

I had a semi-revelation! WHAT IF SOME PUBLISHER MADE A HUGE BOOK ON HOW TO DO A LOW MAGIC GAME (or a radically altered DND ala Monte Cook's Arcana Unearthed)! I know there have been some, but I mean a really well thought out one, with different approaches to the goal. Maybe even by WOTC ( ;) )...

Please help me, throngs of wizened RPGers! :D

I am looking for stats/rules/the racial outlook of Thri-Kreen (giant mantids), Grippli (2nd Ed. tree frog people), and how to deal with a rock gnomes so they are both magicky and tinkery. Please help! PLEASE! :( (or ill cry) p.s.-this is for my campaign world p.p.s.-that doesn't mean to limit...

Elves IMCW In my campaign world, the elves have reverted to how I often see them, LN arrogant isolationists. I've always thought that the whole "CG" thing was BS (compared to the stereotype and how they're often roleplayed). So I made them like Vulcans, kinda, in that they despise outsiders...

My two most recent characters were both gnomes (gotta love 'em :D) : Skipwrinkle Corswitzke the bard/paladin, and Ebullion Fidspinner (with a CON of 28 and 222 hp) the 13th level gnomish barbarian.
