    Does technology (steamtech/magictech/clockwork/etc.) figure in your game? What kind?

    I voted for Yes, ocasionaly... Though my games often feature black powder weapons and other renisance age technologies items that realy push the limits (like a 'Hellwhip', an ancient laser weapon) crop up rarely.

    How do monsters spend gold pieces?

    Do you know what the rates are for Goblins? It takes alot of lvl 1 fighters to pay those bills.

    How do monsters spend gold pieces?

    Why wouldn't an intelligent monster make use of currency? Ogres, orcs and other such creatures live together in communities... so it makes perfect sense that there would be orc blacksmiths and oger leatherworkers to make their weapons and armor. As long as a creature can act reasonably well...

    So, Whatever Happened to Fafhrd and Greymouser?

    One of the reasons I love coming to this board is that its a good way to learn of things like the DH reprint... I've been waiting for a good collection of the Fafhrd and Grey Mouser books to pick up, and this looks like it.

    [November] What are you watching?

    BS:G is currently the top show in my book, followed by Doctor Who (Rose is such a hottie). I've been following South Park, and have enjoyed this season more then the previous ones. As well as Drawn Together (which i somewhat enjoyed last time, havent realy liked the new episodes so far). Now...

    What if going to the ethereal/astral plane killed you?

    If you are looking to make teleporation travel difficult, but still allow creatures like the Blink Dog consider the following. Perhapse the Astral environment isnt immediately deadly, but long term exposure is. This may only effect creatures not native to the environment. Even short range...

    Do players really care for the campaign setting?

    I love settings, and while a very detailed setting isnt the only way I can enjoy a game it is an important part of the game.

    How Defined is Your Magic?

    The spells would have to be learned independently (for a sorcerer it would require two spell slots). Only the energy substitution feat would allow a caster to swap energy types on a spell he already had

    How Defined is Your Magic?

    Though I have no problem with wizards (or sorcerers) swaping energy types when they first learn a spell I'd be very cautious about allowing a wizard to create whatever spells they chose.

    Creating a govement based on D&D reality

    However, you must consider that no ruler in the course of human history could single handedly slaughter hundreds (if not thousands) of people before stoping for a late lunch. When the king, a 5th lvl aristocrat, has a 15th level fighter as his advisor how long would it be before the 15th level...

    Do you like stat-bonus magic items?

    I'm not a big fan of magic items that are just +X abilities, and the idea of items that add +'s to mental stats (without drawbacks) seems very strange to me. What I dont like is when it seems that most of a characters power comes from his "bling" then from himself.

    Dark Side Sourcebook

    I'm glad they reprinted it... I've been looking for a copy for the last year or so (after I read a buds). Its one of the better WotC books produced, and the section about the path to the dark side is far superior to anything found in the BoVD. Though I dont own any other Star Wars books I do...

    [Not-a-Poll]How much do you restrict player chargen choice?

    I restrict classes to what makes sense within a given setting. For my usual setting (a high middle ages setting modeled after europe during the crusades) I restrict options to keep the historical feel... no warforged, no monster PCs, number of elves and dwarves restricted. My Orental campaing...
