Saturday. The group I'm with has been playing most Saturdays since 3rd came out. (though we dont always get to do so) Before that it was Friday at the ODU Sci-Fi Club, but I havent been back there in a while.

I've been a big fan of the warcraft books since they started comming out; its one of the few official settings I would ever consider running (as opposed to my homebrew). One of the best things about the books is how flavorful they are. The spells and magic items seem a whole lot more...

Its hard to pick a "Least Favoret" but there are a few that I have not cared for FR: Standard Issue Fantasy.... on PCP. As a general rule I dont care for settings where magic is overly common, or where nearly everything has been codified. Ebberon: Does not appeal to me in the least, its just...

I always try to go for descriptive combat: how I describe it depends on the ammount of damage dealth: Low damage: "You narrowly parry the assasins blade, steping back to avoid further attacks" Medium Damage: "You desperatly block the Orcs axe, sending you realing backwards" or "you duck and...

As a general rule I start my campaings between 3 and 5. Not only is first level a bit to fragile for me but you pass through it very quickly (in one game where I gave out XP after every fight the party went from 1-3 in a single session). The way I see it now is a 1st level character is an...

Damnation, thats right when my Aikido class starts. are they going to be posing the microseries on the web like the did before?

I use a straight 75 point buy, with no character allowed to go above 18 or below 6 before racial modifiers. Usualy IMC its more like 75+1 as I like to start games at lvl 4-5. In addition to their regular stat increases I bump everyones stats by 1 when they reach 10th level. In older campaings...

There are two main aspects of death IMC, each god is known by many names and has followers in ever culture. One is known by the name Thanatos in the lands where my campaigns usualy take place. Thanatos is also known as the "Guardian of the Way" and the "Keeper of the Barrier". It is his job...

this is truely an awsome site, i've read through just about everything they have so far. thanks for posting it, its well worth the read for any fan of old school pulp action.

Chain provides less protection against thrusting attacks (such as a rapier or a dagger) then does full plate, and even then you still have eye slits and such open. Dexterity is simply adding to you ability to strike that vulnerable spot, not penetrate it (which is where the damage comes in)...

My campaigns usualy start out as a series of smaller mini-campaings, growing into an overall plot at the characters gain in level. Usualy I dont have this thought out beyond a very rough sketch when a campaing starts (as I have to wait for the characters to develope before I can work them into...

I dont think that the original poster was refering to the use of dex for ALL attacks, just with specific weapons like the Rapier. A finesse attack is (IMO) more about striking vulnerable places in an opponents armor rather then just battering through the armor. You still need strenght to cause...

Weapons Finess as a rule not a feat was the very first thing I implemented IMC after reading Conan d20. It gives a slight boost to rogues/monks and allows other characters (like archer types) to be somewhat effective in melee without taking away from their ranged feats. The way I see it is...

Homebrew all the way setting wise; rules, feats, spells, monsters can come from any number of sources that I have collected over the years.

in nearly 8 years of gaming I dont think I have ever played in a Greyhawk (or otherwise "generic") game.

I was a pretty big fan of Dragon for a few years, but nowadays it just doenst seem to hold anything for me (I hate the "new player race/core class a month") every now and again it has something I like (the most recient issue for example has lots of stuff I like, saving the fact that Grendals CR...

Sure they fit IMC, though as has been pointed out keeping their scientific names can be strange... but thats why my players fear packs of Daggerfeet (Raptors). the bigger ones are far rarer IMC, as the intellegent races usualy act to reduce their numbers (big herbavores are exelent sources of...

by itself Alchemy is like chemistry (making blackpowder, acid, ect...) Alchemy + Knowledge [Herbalism] = drugs (good and bad) Alchemy + Caster + Spellcraft = low end potions Alchemy + Caster + Spellcraft + Knowledge [Occult] = crazy bad stuff (like that fellow with the bolts in his neck)

1) Luillaby (truly deep felt emotion and drama in this one, one of the best eps of the series) 2) Waiting in the Wings (there were a lot of contenders for this sliot, but this one fits in it best as one of the unique eps of the series). 3) Tommorow (one of the best season enders of the series)...

what I'm tired of.... the five million sub races for elves, dwarves, halflings.... who needs forest elves, city elves, suburban elves, exurban elves, elves who like wearing funny hats, elves who dont like wearing funny hats, elves who are right handed, elves who are left handed, elves who arnt...
