    What does 'epic' mean to you?

    To me, epic has to do with the interations with the game world. Epic has to do with the scale of the impact of events on the game world. This often involves large amounts of power, but not necissarily so. Epicness to me is that the actions of the PC's have profound impact on the lives of...

    Handling Different Technology Levels

    Well... one of the ways to look at it is as follows... First of all, if stone is the 'base' material, it is essentially similar to metal weapons in 'regular DnD'. If bronze is essentially +1 compared to 'base', then bronze is essentially masterwork compared to stone. You could use that price...

    Darkness & Dread vs. Heroes of Horror

    Whew.... just wanted to look into the thread as I just got my HoH shipped in yesterday, and wandered into a crossfire more reminiscent of a gunslinger game then horror... anyhoo, hope that the admin/moderator hoses cooled everyone down... Back to topic.... I enjoyed (as far as I managed to...

    Why Are Warrior Women Never Ugly?

    Well... duh.... It's fantasy... It is designed (mainly) by men... do the math.... Most men's fantasy's involve scanthily clad, beautifully formed female forms... Most men's brains think / fantasize about sex about 10 times per minute... Painting or otherwise portraying female characters in...

    What's your favorite PHB spell?

    Dont know in the new editions, but Sleep used to be an all time favorite at lower levels... non-lethal, but able to take out multiple foes at once. Very useful spell and used to be a 'must have' for every starting mage...

    No Harry Potter RPG?

    Hmmm..... about three years ago I approached JK Rowling's publisher about the rights to a HP based RPG, but they weren't interested... On the one hand, game related and merchandising rights were already sold to other parties and they were not really interested in RPG type stuff at the time...

    Tinkering with a kid-friendly, adult-exciting setting featuring Dragons and Faeries

    Hmmm... lotsa things already said here... just some thoughts: If you want the PC's to be kids, make it such that only kids are still 'fresh' enough to be able to see and interact with the spirit world, adults simply have no clue and cannot see them. A threat to the 'Real World' by some sort of...

    Dungeons as economic lynch pins

    Hmmm.... additional funds may be garnered by having PC's followed using crystal balls. A 'cinema' is installed where villagers, visitors and adventurers currently recuperating can follow and bet on the exploits of the adventurers currently within the complex. Naturally all betting services are...

    Dungeons as economic lynch pins

    Well... the dungeon could be more or less self sustaining, be so big that generations of monsters wander upwards, maybe some gates etc. etc. as suggested by other posters. Simply introduce the fact that the amount of passess given out by the village is limited to an x-amount per month, BECAUSE...

    Any female game masters?

    Yeah, I know that women kill their opponents brutally and should never be angered, but I think the question is, how are the women 'In character' when roleplaying ??? ;)

    Any female game masters?

    Hmmm.... shouldn't a female Dungeon Master be named Dungeon Mistress??? My own experiences with female DM's is unfortunately extremely limited, namely zero. Here in the Netherlands, I knew only one female gamer in a one-shot game I participated in visiting a friend, and she was a player, not...

    Is D&D an entry level game?

    I voted 'definately NO'. Sure, it is possible to introduce new ppl to the game, but as an entry level game I count only such games that someone / some group of (younger) ppl who has /have not had any prior experience with the whole type of games sit down with the rulesets and in short order...

    Best way to revitalize the economy of a town in D&D

    Hmmm.... on one hand, not enuff data to give pointed advice. In general however: - what the heck you need 20K gp per month for? In a medieval village, costs for stuff like road repairs etc. were not that massive. Also, ppl tended to build to last, so upkeep on buildings etc. are also not major...

    D&D is a Roleplaying Game

    To me: roleplaying = a form of escapism, game = to have fun with friends Beer & Pretzels are simply accessories....

    Is D&D 3.5 your first role playing game

    I 'worked my way up' from the red-set basic DnD edition, through 1st, 2nd, 2.5. Didn't play much 3.0 (no group at the time...), then moved into 3.5

    (Win pdf books!) Now closed (except for some book-keeping)

    Dragon Tactics A large part of the fright a dragon should inspire comes from its tactics. A large wyrm who has lived for hundreds of years, while there are tons of eager treasure seekers and would be dragon slayers out there, will have wizened up or died out long ago... Thus, they will take...

    (Win pdf books!) Now closed (except for some book-keeping)

    Hmmmm.... when I DM, I make use of (variations on) three 'basic types of dragon'... The 'Civilized Dragon': this dragon likes the modern comforts. Usually found in cities, it makes us of shape shift / polymorph powers to look like one of the many humanoid beings in the city. Usually they pose...
