Well, playing the villains could be fun for a campaign or two. Just don't expect to see any published modules like you want. Adventures are hard enough for publishers to make a living at without specifically catering to a small subset of your market (those who like and buy adventures). I have...

Yeah, I have done both. Call it the heavy hammer of DM fiat applied liberally to the totally clueless or those whom "are unclear on the concept"

Uuuggghhhh. I hate alignment threads. They make my head hurt. The only comment I will make is that, assuming that I am following the supposition that Hussar is making correctly - then every character that I have played over the last 30+ years has committed an abundance of evil acts since...

18. Never again.... those sessions were a 100% certainity of 2-3 strong painkillers later that night to deal with the resultant "brain fire" of trying to manage a group that size.

Dragons don't get enough screen time. Now the Drow on the other hand...... <ducks out the door> :heh:

Self-Depreciation has always been a mainstay of humor or comedy. Just go to see almost any comedy show. A book about growing up a geek and a D&D geek at that is not a threat to gamers. A bigger threat to the image of RPGers is, well - without putting fine a point on it, it's the certain...

I don't recall their classes and races at this moment but this has been discussed a number of times on the Paizo boards. They are iconic in that they showed up in the artwork during the period of the time of the AOW adventure path (but not limited to those adventures alone). There are new...

Odd as this might sound, it is the community and the people. I've been on other boards and just don't see the 'community' aspect as much there. RPGNet can be rather cool and often times unfriendly to the D&D crowd and you get alot of elitist attitude from the most vocal posters over there...

A savepoint? Let me think on that a moment... NOT! Smacks to much of a computer RPG. D&D is more fun for me playing without a 'safety net'. Crossing the Line - most of the time, it gets crossed because noone has recognized it as such. Other times it gets crossed (or not) because that is...

Hmmph. After 30+ years of DMing, I have a low tolerance now for the 'sensitive' types. I've tried on many occasions to 'engage' the players in the adventure and it is sometimes like pulling teeth. Players who want motivation spoon fed to their characters constantly gets real old, real fast...

We call them 'Nodwicks' Occasionally, we call them 'Red Shirts'

My group over the years (different campaigns) has whacked Iuz (demigod) Zuggmoty (demigod) Vecna (on the verge of demigod hood) Acerak (on the verge of demigod hood) Kyuss (re-emergent god) Velshoun (demigod) Bhaal (greatly weakened god - during ToT in FR **yes, I played that railroady avatar...

Your all so tasty so making a choice is hard. I know! Age before beauty. Find out who is the oldest and fire up the barbie. If your lucky, maybe some WOTC or Hasbro executive will drop in looking for shelter. If that happens, fall upon him like a pack of wolves....

Stirge control would be a number of measures. Access control - like insects and catepillars, there might some natural or artificial substance the stirges find noxious or irrestible. Noxious substances would be put around buildings and out in the field for farm animals (the stirges are a great...

Candid talk works....at least for our group. Simply, tell them the problem - that the party composition is of concern to you and that you feel they will not be able to handle some of the stuff that is upcoming. Identify the problem areas (like they need a 'face' man for the diplomacy and...

Naga Crown from 2E. Absolute goodness for any magic user.

I don't get that impression at all, but that's me. Ptolus is meant to go into a campaign world (Monte's world was called Praemal) but since Praemal was never designed to be released as a product, only very basic information about outside of Ptolus is provided. The assumption is that each DM...

You are comparing Eberron to Ptolus. A proper comparsion is Sharn to Ptolus. I have both and, for me, Ptolus wins hands down in the flavor department.

My campaign world features "The Great White Bulette" The creature's domain is a large land areas just west of the main campaign areas most of my campaigns start in. The Great White Bulette is advanced to the largest dice and size for its monster class and is easily identified by its dirty...
