Core rules only. It works with all editions of D&D. The existance of a supplemental/optional rule book does not affect my game in the least. It would not affect your game either, if you did not take action to bring it in. Complaining about supplemental/optional rule books hurting your D&D game...

Don't forget some of them sent the ninjas -- both for Shojo and Hinjo. Some must be evil to hire assassins to murder the legal ruler of the city (especially when they know at least one of them is a true paladin). Quasqueton

I started writing this up, and then the wife came up behind me and "reminded" me it was Valentine's Day evening. :) . . . I'll do it maybe Friday night. Quasqueton

Today on the radio, I heard a commercial that didn’t really catch my attention until the last line. It is for Havoline Deposit Shield (an engine oil, of some kind). I’ve looked on the Web for the commercial, but can’t find it (even on the Havoline company site). It starts out talking about the...

I don't know. To me, PbP/PbEM is like calling a 900-number for "love". Things are mentioned, verbalized, spoken in such situations that would never come up in a real "encounter". Quasqueton

I think that kind of “competition” would be counter-productive for a box text discussion. There’s a big difference between creative writing (describing a picture) and box text writing (functionally convey basic environment information). For instance, box text should describe an orc as “an orc”...

How much detail should a DM give in a description? [This all assumes that the description does not hold some kind of clue or information.] For instance, should a DM say, “an ornate jewelry box”, or “a teakwood jewelry box carved with elaborate designs of butterfly-winged fairies on roses...

Box text is for when there is no picture to convey a scene. I tell you what I'll do, though. Tonight, when I get home, I'll open up a classic module. I'll post the information for one room in that adventure, and let folks write the box text for it. This makes me think of a question to ask in...

See, I find such "flavor" wording . . . [I can't find the word I want, here]. . .unnecessary? It has the sound (when read aloud) of a novelist writing, not a DM describing. I would say: What’s the difference between straw and hay? And unless the bits of dried grass and hay has a purpose or...

To be fair, that text is the description of the adventure locale, to set the mood, not an example of a room description. And it is a better description than most DMs could give (me included) off their head. It sets the mood for the adventure, and probably expects the DM to continue and support...

Surely someone has seen Ghost Rider prior to its release date. Any reviews? I couldn't find any by searching the Web, but I'd trust reviews from folks here more than those I'd find elsewhere, anyway. Quasqueton

I heard a radio commercial this morning that I'd like to hear again. If it were a TV spot, I'd search the video sites. But where can I find radio spots? I'd appreciate any help or pointers. Edit: It is not on the company's Web site. Quasqueton

Wonderful and interesting information. Quasqueton

Are the PCs in your campaign special? Are they "The Chosen"? Are they tasked with a unique and important task? Or are they just another group of adventurers wondering the land, of no more interest than any other characters their level? Does your campaign have a reason why the game focuses on...

I definitely should be one to speak up on this adventure. The monsters (and treasures) are all listed in the back of the module; you just have to place them in the rooms as you deem appropriate. The general theme seemed to be that the former slaves (orcs) armed themselves and squatted in the...

So a new nth-level character popping up out of nowhere and ready to join the party is less of a "problem" or obstacle to suspension of disbelief than bringing a character back from the dead? Quasqueton

I like boxed text, if done “right”. I’ll have to go through my modules when I get home to give an example of some done right. But here is one done wrong. Very bad. From The Forest Oracle See more of this “gem”: http://www.enworld.org/showthread.php?t=148566 KotB doesn’t have boxed text. Like...

The thread on the availability of raising the dead made me think on this. In the event of a PC death, what option is the most acceptable or least bothersome for you. Notice the Player/DM division – this is a multiple selection poll, so if you are a Player and a DM, you should vote for two...

Messed up the poll. Ignore. Delete please.
