I can't believe we're on page two and no one commented on this yet. The 1E Oriental Adventures book had a barbarian class in it which was similar, but slightly different, to the barbarian class presented in the 1E Unearthed Arcana. Honestly, any class can be made to fit any culture. It...

Yeah, I had a difficult time DM'ing this for my group. Like someone above said, it read relatively well, and I wanted a city-based adventure, but when it came down to actually running the thing... I changed the BBEG to a tiefling fighter/wizard with a PrC from Book of Vile Darkness (forget...

This is what the DM did in one of the games in which I play. The NPC cleric really doesn't do much at all besides healing. He was really pretty good at healing though, and we always shared a portion of our treasure with him to be fair. That game also has no druid and no bard (well, there is...

IMC, about 100+ years ago the main bad guy starting setting up a network to "dampen" some of the more powerful forms of divination because he was ready to come out of hiding (after millennia of being underground) and doesn't want people to figure up what he's up to. He was clever enough about...

I believe I bookmarked that thread, but it's bookmarked on my home computer and I'm at work. Feel free to PM me if you don't see me post a link by tomorrow.

Hi, there. I'm playing in a Dawnforge campaign right now. We're using the Dawnforge CS as our main book, of course, but the DM has also allowed classes from Monte Cook's Arcana Unearthed and from the Expanded Psionics Handbook and a smattering of other stuff (such as the Hexblade from...

Well beyond the 21-30 range. Looks like about 102, not including Dragon and a few things that I probably picked up recently but can't recall off the top of my head. Vast majority is WotC, then Mongoose & Green Ronin. Wizards of the Coast: 32 Players Handbook (3.0, 3.5), Dungeon Masters...

Game 1: Six Players and One DM - two players are women Game 2: Six Players and One DM - two players are women (used to have a 3rd woman player but she had a baby and hasn't come back to the group yet) Game 3: Five Playes and One DM - one player is a woman Roughly 20% or so. Back in my early...

I disagree wholeheartedly with this. I like the articles in Dragon that take inspiration from places that a person might not necessarily think of - whether it be a novel like American Gods, real world myth and history, or a non-fantasy based movie, game, or TV show. In our hobby, there is a...

I said this in another thread about Dragon, but PLEASE people, don't take labels so seriously! A few years ago (maybe it was last year), there was a "Dark Sun" section in Dragon, updating some stuff to 3rd Edition. One of the articles talked about Defilers and Preservers. That article was...

There was a thread like this maybe 6 months ago with lots of good replies. I think Psion (I'm not sure but I think it was him) had a few really good suggestions. Can't remember the thread, though, and too busy to search right now.

In our Dawnforge game, there is a Human (Highlander) Champion (he's being secretive and won't tell us what he's a Champion of, exactly) and a Human (Lowlander) Wood Witch (both classes from Arcana Unearthed) playing alongside a PH/CW (Night Elf) Bard/Hexblade (me), a PH (ghost elf, I think)...

Thanks. And, yeah, with posts I tend to get wordy because I don't edit myself. Trust me, my "real" writing is much more concise. :)

I remember most of those and enjoyed a lot of them. The problem with nostalgic reminiscing is that "it's been done". Those articles were cool for their time, but the game was newer then, and we were much younger. We looked at things differently. I know that I, for one, have no need for a...

Part of me changing the goblins to Size Medium enabled me to make half-goblins (half-human). All of the "half-races" are referred to as "half-breeds" (not a nice term). I don't have hobgoblins, and my orcs are sufficiently different from my goblins so that there is no confusion. They each...

I basically gave them a "world building secret" thing that only they know (although they don't know that they know). All the other races believe one thing, but the goblins believe something else. Due to people's perceptions of goblins, however, no one has ever figured out that the goblins'...

That last bit (..."well, in my day we had it rough...") is one of my fave Python bits. As far as geekiness rubbing off... when my wife and I got married, every one of my groomsmen (EVERY SINGLE ONE) mentioned in the "Best Men's Toast" that they were glad I was getting married to my wife...

You've officially made my list of "People Who Make Jokes That Are Very Obvious And Yet Still Make Me Laugh Myself Silly". My wife and I make that particular joke (words ending in "er") on a daily basis. It's not funny any more to our friends, but it still makes us crack up. Back on topic - I...

That killed me! :D Should be a mandatory part of all polls from now on. I don't make my players go through training, but I do require them to explain how they suddenly have gained access to certain feats and skills. We handle it via e-mail beforehand. I like the idea of training, but...

My understanding from someone in Marketing at WotC (no idea if she's still there) was that part of the problem did involved the advertisements, but more importantly some of the comics stuff which ended up in legal action. Part of the settlemen on WotC's part was to allow one particular...
