I needed to publish this to share and get it out my system... This was done for completeness: if Elves and Dwarves and Halflings are in the MM why shouldn't Humans be there as well? (Again, consider what was done in earlier editions of D&D.) I'm not doing anything new - just filling a gap that...

Hello, I did this as an add-on to the core 3E MM. I thought it strange that humans were were the only PC race not in the MM and so I drew this up complete with the fluff and flavour. I was also inspired by the fact that humans, as "Men", appeared in Basic D&D, AD&D 1st Ed and AD&D 2nd Ed Monster...

This may seem strange to some, but I noticed that in 3E all the player races were statted in the MM except one: humans. So I looked up my AD&D 1st ed and 2nd ed MMs, and even the Basic D&D monter entries - yup humans are cited complete with details on typical gangs and groups and organization...

? I'm trying to find the source for this tid bit... Got a linky? :)

Yeah I got blinded by that! :lol:

Well I tried to make it a poll, but it timed out beyond 10 minutes before I could fill it in :( I have to say I'm definitely Flat-footed if not Stunned. Fascinated. Took my breath away last night so I guess I was a tad Exhausted too! ;)

Well folks, maybe it's tongue in cheek, but I had to ask: August 16th's announcement of 4E at GenCon left you feeling what D&D condition?

I'm in the middle... But maybe I'll buy the 4E core books and switch that material into my 3.5 games! ;) Even better: there's an SRD coming for 4E - maybe I'll just use that material and then all's well that switches to 3.5 well! :D

Great linky! Thank you for that! :D I feel more informed now after all the various site crashes last night. :)

Traffic too high last night for me to post... :( I'm here at ENWorld today because last night (Friday, Eastern Time) was pointless. ENWorld wouldn't load faster than 5 minutes per click of the mouse - if at all - and Wizards was down from about 6:00pm and is still down this morning! This whole...

I'm guessing something a little "radical", all classes dumped to supplements but these four: Cleric Fighter Rogue Sorcerer (being easier to play than Wizards) Remember the generic classes presented in UA? I'm thinking they'll borrow from that simpler concept and then provide the rules material...

Based upon the definitions in the OP: I'm basically a World Builder + Director + Provider. I like to emphasize the world details so players can "feel" their PCs are in a living world with cultures and languages and politics and war. As a World Builder I use published material to keep the...

The Spell Compendium, along with the Magic Item Compendium, are favourite books of mine as a DM. The SC offers loads of great spells and you shouldn't be too worried - but a word to the wise: it is easier to give than to take away. Better to be a bit cautious and stingy, than to say "sure, help...

Crowrows? Oh gawd! That's soooo gay! ;) :lol:

Vancian magic? Whatever happened to Vancian music :confused: :p . . . :lol: :lol: :lol:

Actually I am not assuming that the Thoon Thrall 1st-lvl Human Commoner is anything more than a sample templated Human either - indeed there's a Ghost 5th-lvl Human Fighter in the core MM v.3.5 on page 117 - but that relates to my point about D&D 3rd Ed... Humans appear in the various MM's under...

Are Humans worse than Monsters? EEK! Hmm... rarely see Humans in any MM. So this brings a question to mind: the OD&D, D&D Basic, AD&D, AD&D 2nd all cited Humans (often under "Men") in their monster manuals, but the only core race not in the D&D 3rd Ed MM are Humans! Do Humans show up anywhere...

Thank you GR, that was generous! :) I have downloaded a copy of True20 for study and... who knows? :D

Eh... I did not read all of the above posts, but I just wanted to give my initial reaction after visiting the gleemax site: No, sorry, but it doesn't work for me. Maybe just a matter of taste on my part. The name is... odd. The brain-in-a-jar thing is not what I'd have gone for either. I'll...

IMHO it is about game management... What was true then is true now, and can even apply to non-fantasy RPGs: the DM/GM has to be "on top of his game" so-to-speak. That ability, to master the management of a complex RPG, includes managing players as well as the rules - in the name of making it a...
