Ah, the sexy female character is Victoria, the brilliant engineer/barbarian orphan raised in the jungle in Dread October's Forgotten Realms campaign.

...when you go to the movies, you tend to stat the cool monster/aliens/cool characters. :\ (Edit - LOL! I even just referred to the movie characters as NPCs. I'm doomed)

Aw you make me blush! :o The story hour is really good so far - it's a little hard for me to believe it's actually my campaign. :) PS - I hope you write down some of the quotes - the players in our group are hilarious and I hope it translates well. PPS - I love doing the cockney voice...

I run a D&D game set in Victorian England - more alternate history than historical of course. ;) It's a very easy campaign to run; the players have an excellent handle on their characters and often use real world idioms, accents, etc., when speaking in character. They do a lot of research and...

I am so glad they are doing this again. And actually, it's better than a book - it's free! :p I hope they continue to periodically capture the articles in PDF format again, too. That was darn useful.

Are you green?

Maybe it's her, um, doublet thingy. (And I've been known to like the odd bit of Warren Zevon. :) )

Kid Charlemagne has done this for years in his homebrew world, but he always puts the groups far apart, working on completely different agendas. We've never come across each other. It's a lot of work, but he's a good DM and keeps up with it (yay, KC!). Although we're not in the same campaigns...

And add my "amen to that." I don't care what specific setting an article or adventure uses, because I can always find something to steal for my game. :)

My favorite climatic ending was a trial. Our characters had brought an enemy wizard to be tried by his peers. Since we were merely apprentices, we didn't think we would be allowed into the trial. To our surprise, we were called as witnesses. It was nerve-wracking to have to remember little...

Thanks for your replies - good stuff! I didn't want to use aquatic elves because, umm, they don't exist in my world. :o I don't remember all of the aquatic human race from UA off the top of my head, but I think it did include a swim movement speed. I'll have to check into that when I get...

Hey all, I am starting a new D&D campaign, which would start with the characters at an experience point total that would put them in the middle of 3rd level. One player would like to play an aquatic human sorcerer (think Aqua Man or Abe Sapien). I like his idea as a general concept, but I'd...

Confrontations can be so painful, so I can't really fault anyone for dreading or wanting to avoid them. No one likes to be the bad guy. And let's face it, we've all known people who were not all that balanced either, people whose reactions we had no way of predicting. But having said that, I...

Well, OK, not to turn this into the old "how do you pronouce drow" thread, but for the names listed so far in this thread - how are they actually pronounced? I know some of them have been (more or less) officially explained, but I don't think I've seen a pronunciation guide for all of these...

Buzz, your entire post was dead on, but this last paragraph was especially and it's something that a lot of small business (not just book or game stores) need to take to heart. I also think Games Plus has done just that - excellent selection of all kinds of games, a rewards program, gaming...

Second best post on this thread. :D

I'm was just going through this thread and this post made me laugh so hard that I had to reply. I resemble that remark. :D Thanks for the laugh!

1.) How many players in your group? - 12, although not everyone plays in every campaign or every session. Two of the players can only game once every 2 or 3 months. The largest campaign has 8 regular players, but usually there's only 5-6 players at any given time. 2.) Do you DM? - I have, but...

After hours at a comic book store I worked at. This was during 2nd edition D&D and the store had all the books, so we had an entire library of gaming books at our disposal as long as we were very, very careful with them. The best part was that there was a really good pizza place across the...

I agree with reading, watching movies and playing videogames, but I also like to indulge in other activities or hobbies that have nothing to do with gaming or scifi/fantasy - like painting or doing yoga. Meditation really helps clear out my head. Also, just getting together with friends for a...
