    Charles Ryan on the Sacred Cows of D&D

    I haven't seen it in Races of Stone but it sounds like the concept of the racial bloodlines (I think they were called that, but there were a lot of different ideas that had similar names) in Unearthed Arcana (the WotC book, not to be confused with Arcana Unearthed by Monte Cook). Anyway, you...

    Soucres for medieval Eastern Europe

    Based on what I've seen, I think that you might be able to mine some material from Green Ronin's SpirosBlaak.

    "All halflings are heterosexual."

    I'd be fine with all that. And I would definitely draw the line there and put a stop to it. I don't care whether a character wants his or her character to be gay or bi or whatever. That makes no difference to me. Perhaps they're just letting me know how their character will respond if I...

    "All halflings are heterosexual."

    True. But, I was responding to the post left wherein the poster said that he/she would find it entirely in the DM's right to completely ban all LGBT (which I took to mean "lesbian, gay, bi-sexual, or transvestite") characters. I just don't see why someone would want to do that, personally...

    "All halflings are heterosexual."

    Yeah, I have no idea where that came from, either. It was clearly never part of the original post. Exactly. That's not a lot of information upon which to base all of these suppositions. And, everyone has just assumed that the woman who left wanted to play a homosexual halfling character...

    "All halflings are heterosexual."

    My wife's character (in her first RPG game, ever) is a female half-elf rogue who dresses up as a man. She does it every session, and the other players, in fact, think that her character is a man. She has a huge bonus to her disguise score and I have actually made random spot checks for the...

    New Server Drive - donation and prize thread (Final total: $13,310!)

    I think I understand you, but I assume you meant Midnight on TUESDAY (one minute past 11:59pm MONDAY) in order to give people all day Monday to check their work computers or get home from the weekend or whatever. Right? And, Midnight in what time zone? I'm at my parents' house now but...

    Should Ronin Arts Submit to Monte Cook's "Year's Best?"

    I wish I was the publisher of my book instead of just the author so I could submit it myself. With everything that Mongoose puts out during the year, I doubt my lowly lil' PDF will make the cut if they choose to submit anything. :(

    Ever play an Expert?

    Hey, thanks! :o I've been working on it feverishly for awhile now. There are just so many different directions you can take with the class, which obviously is its main strength. And, given the Mongoose mantra of "Enhance, But Don't Change" (at least as far as the Collector's Series line is...

    what do you call the son of a duke?

    A baronet is a separate title and not automatically awarded to the son of a baron (at least, AFAIK). There's a section about barons and baronets at the bottom of the same page that Hand of Evil linked for you.

    Tell me about the Holidays and Festivals of your world!

    There are a bunch - mostly religious feast days or special historical anniversaries. Things like the founding of certain religious sects, the death date of various saints or prophets, the anniversary of the recovery of sacred relics, that kind of thing. They mainly differ for the different...

    [POLL] Multiple RPG Books in Your Group?

    In the group that I DM, I'm pretty much the only one who owns stuff. Everyone had a 3.0 PH, but I'd say less than half the group upgraded to 3.5. One of the players is also a DM for some other campaigns so he and I do have quite a bit of overlap, but since he's also a DM that's a special case...

    looking for prestige class....

    I believe that one of the churches in Book of the Righteous is dedicated to Death, but it's not an evil church. I can't remember the name of the god(dess) or the name of the PrC right now but I'm pretty sure it's in there. Maybe it's Morwyn? Something like that - I don't have the book w/ me...

    After action debriefings

    Well, I think gaming with MEG Hal would be pretty cool, indeed! Wil does add a certain level of role-playing to the group that is sometimes missing from the other groups I'm in. His Star Trek connection doesn't really come up all that often. We're much more likely to bring up his classic...

    Wizards - online survey problems

    Yeah, I know. I was being a little facetious. It's so funny to hear "professional knowledge of surveys". When I had a job, I was in a function of advertising that had nothing to do with surveys, so I'm not sure what I could do to break a survey. As long as I answer the questions honestly...

    After action debriefings

    That's in the game in which I play (well, one of the games in which I play). The game I was referring to above is the one that I run as a DM and Wil doesn't play in that one (we play on the weekends and he usually has tons of book signings and things to do on the weekends). I play with Wil in...

    Wizards - online survey problems

    For those of you who took the survey, I take it that the question, "Are you or one of your household members currently employed in Advertising, Market Research, etc" would eliminate you from the panel? Good thing I was laid-off back in August! (??? - I guess you have to look on the bright...

    After action debriefings

    If we finish early, I like to try to do it right after the session. I'm constantly trying to balance the issue of too much combat versus too little, so I try to check in with the players to find out if they liked the balance during that particular session. We also chat about the "cinematic"...

    What New WotC Base Classes are you using

    * In the Middle Earth game I play in, I think the DM only allowed Core PH classes, but my character has about 4 levels of (3.0) Shugenja. * In the Dawnforge game I play in, the DM pretty much allowed everything and the kitchen sink. I'm playing a Bard/Hexblade and someone else is playing a...

    Book of Roguish Luck

    Thanks! I thought that's kind of what you meant but wanted to double-check. It doesn't help that I don't have that particular book here with me at work, so I'm going based off just memory.
