Ah ha! I resemble that remark! :)

I love these. When you gonna write 'em? ;)

I have to agree here. I think the bard is too tied to the "musical" stereotype and I'd like to see the class expanded or redefined. I'd like to see more things like the Master of the Secret Sound prestige class that was in Dragon a long while back - still sonic-based, but not necessarily...

For us it was Mage, which is a real shame - I really wanted to play that game and it was completely ruined for me by a bad experience with an ego-tripping GM. Have you ever played in a game where the GM makes sure that there are always superior forces against which you are merely puny humans who...

We did - sort of. In KidCharlemagne's campaign, two of the characters were wizards-in-training at a wizard's college (think Harry Potter) and we started the campaign at 1st level, with the characters about 16-17 years old. Our first "dungeon" was non-lethal, students playing pranks on each other...

Thanks! :D Now I know when to spring this on my players. :]

Actually, I don't think that not having access to necromantic spells would make much of a difference, considering that many plain 'ol evocations spells would work just as well on most undead and have the bonus of working on other critter types. You can't say that about Distrupt Undead. ;) A...

This sounds like a great issue all around. What level is the adventure quoted above?

Hey Doc, an interesting coincidence occurred just now. A friend, who is an artist, just sent me an email with a link to a web site. It has animations that were based on interviews with gamers about their favorite characters: http://www.ubutopia.com/wizard.htm I thought you might enjoy this. :)

I didn't even get close. :( I don't know what I was thinking - I had a final exam this month and then went on vacation for almost two weeks. We visited my SO's family and every time I sat down to write, they suddenly needed to talk to me, watch TV or go someplace. But, I do have a good start...

Unfortunately I had a final exam and I've been out of town for Thanksgiving. I hope to be back on it when I return next week. :)

Heh. :]

That really, really made me laugh. :) Though I agree that they aren't the most original, I think their point is that they're supposed to be in-jokes - if you don't play the game/know the reference, you're not going to get it. For example, I have a bag with the little forest spirit critters...

Bleh. :P Don't get me wrong, I'm glad they are converting some of the old stuff, but I'm just not excited about this one.

That is terrible news. :(

errr...was that a real ad? This being Mad Mazagine and all. Or is there some referrence in that I'm not getting? :confused:

Well, having had some time to think about my own question and read your excellent responses, I think I have three: Iron Heroes - I really want to try this game Tiny Terrors - something about this really appeals to me Gamma World - the d20 version that was printed in Polyhedron some time back...

If you were going to play a pick-up game, what would you want to run as a GM? What would you want to play in as a player? By pick-up game, I mean a game that would last only for 1 session or about 4-6 hours of play time. This is not limited to any game system and can include short...

This is a surprisingly tough question for me! I guess I'm going to have to go with monster books in general. I get more ideas, and a whole lot of enjoyment, just by flipping through the pages and looking at monsters.

Actually, I thought that the BAB and saves seemed fine as far as I can tell (not being a great designer myself). I don't want them to have spells as well as the special abilities anyway as that just seems like overkill to me, but I do think of their special abilities as being arcane in nature -...
