I mainly DM. But since my son was born I've gotten to play a bit more which has been fun. -Ashrum

Paint a mini? About 3-8 hours per miniture, depending on details and basing. A rank and file space marine is probably 3-4 hours, while a sergant with no helmet or a commnader is closer to the eight mark. Paint at the table while gaming? Rude, beyond all belief. If I was DMing and somebody...

Me, I'm completely hooked and can't wait to run it. I'm converting it to run in an Iron Kingdoms Campaign. I'm going to set the main city as five fingers and tweak it to run there. I'm going to wait until my current campaign closes before running it, but I've already begun the adaption in my...

Hmm, I've run two campaigns for 3.x so far and one ran 1.5 years, the other is two and going strong. The first reached level 15 before folding, the new one is currently at 15 and on the cusp of 16. Its been a great ride so far and I'm looking forward to the conclusion at just into epic levels...

Guild wars is successful enough by the company producing its standards. I've been playing off and on for a year now and am having tons of fun. Heck I've just been mostly soloing and having a blast going through the main quest of the orginal game. They've added one add on since and another is due...

Arrr, matey the system would have to remain DnD for sure. Without there being any classes, level, and hp it just wouldn't be the same. AC I can see needing a revamp to bring it under control, but it must also remain. The magic system I'mn totally in favor of revamping to a Arcana Evolved sytem...

Combat Speed: It took 1.5 hours to run a combat for my four players attacking the inner sanctum of a cult filled with about 60 cultists. The Pc's were all around 14-15th level. For that amount of butt whoop I'd say the time taken was fine. No problems in my book. Prep-Time: I like to take...

I voted that I don't read d20 system news which is a shame. I used to follow it pretty closely, but you're right, since it is now mostly the latest release of pdf's I've little interst. From time to time a relase may catch my eye, but it's very very rare. The pdf's are a niche market in a niche...

Piratecat, I hate to say it, but it is new card time, and one with less "robust" heat disapation requirments. There really isn't much you can do since it looks like you're running into the systems heat sink for the CPU if I'm looking at the diagrams right. -Ashrum

"groupthink"? I'll pass. I spend all day long at work doing groups. For the most part they are highly ineffective and generally a waste of time. Why? Because you're always pulled down to the level of the lowest person there. Put somebody in charge, let him make the call, and move on. Yeesh...

Hmm, 1) Piratecat, becuase his campaigns sound exactly like what I've always wanted to play 2) Sagiro, because he also runs a campaign that fits what I'd call my "dream" 3) Kidcuthlu, hmmm, old one goodness and insanity to boot 4) Gary Gygax, I'd love to play some old school DnD and end up...

Piratecat, now that you've successfully nudged Sagiro into updating his storyhour we storyhour adicts think it's time you got on the side of the angels as well. :D -Ashrum

Actually, I'd bet the party was very very thorough. Which unfortunately could have worked against them. When nobody comes back from the raid on the poor little halfling villiage ... well, wouldn't you get a wee bit curious and send either a small scout force, or an overwhelming army to stamp out...

But, is this a problem with the spells design, or is this an issue with the monsters themselves? I personally think the spells themselves are fine, but that the monsters need to have their saves reblanaced. Especially the larger CR critters. -Ashrum

Londo and G'kar were both great fun. But my favorite was always Sinclair. He always came across as a man out of his depth doing the best he could and never giving up. Loved that. -Ashrum

Nah, that's called having discerning taste. -Ashrum

Okay, they are not small amphibians with loud piercing peeps. :p Feel better? -Ashrum

Oh come on Quasqueton. You new the followers would be along after you took leadership last level. ;) And while I find most of the tenets to be self evident, I think it's nice to see them spelled out for folks to actually read and discuss in a concrete fashion. -Ashrum

I voted 7. I like to have reason for adventuring, but I also like to have enough wiggle room in there that if I, or one of the players if I'm DMing, decides he wants to be king, we can work that in there as well. -Ashrum

I like to keep things as open as possible, but at the same time, it's always been the focused quests that seem to leap into my mind as some of the most fun I've played in. Against the Slave Lords, The Giants series, even the ToEE. They leap to my mind, and I never really consider the modules...
