    How quality are the classic module PDFs?

    I got the one of A4 and it was just fine. It printed well, was easy to read on my screen, it was a good experience for me. I might do it again some time.

    During D&D combat, how do you run it?

    We have a REALLY BIG BATTLEMAT (tm), like just a bit bigger then my dining table with the leaf in. Just about everybody in my group has an unnatural love for minis. With such resources at our disposal, it would be a shame not to use them.

    Starting PCs with NPC classes--would it work?

    While I haven't fully explored them from first level on, I was looking into NPC classes recently and I found the Adept class to be the most interesting. (To me anyway.) If I was going to start a PC with one of the NPC classes, I'd pick Adept. They seem to me to be a great jumping off point for...

    How much background is too much?

    I agree that there can never have enough background information on a world, but it's important to not require your players to know EVERYTHING. I lived in my hometown from the time I was born until I was 24 and I don't think all the information I know about that areas history and important...

    New 'how old are we' poll

    Born in '74, started playing in... '92. I guess I'm a "late bloomer". But I do recall watching the cartoon quite a lot.

    The Exploit a spell thread

    Back in the day, when I was rather new to this whole D&D thing, I got the bright idea to use the "Dehidrate" cantrip on an assailent's eyeballs. (Cantrips were all I could cast at that point.) The DM told me I was very clever... But that cantrips just didn't work that way. I've been very...

    Dry Erase on my Battlemat!

    Vis-a-vis in black or green. Red and Blue are the devil. Also, try to avoid eating greasy food on or around them. (Unless you have a tablecloth or placemats for when you order pizza.) Having moved recently, I discovered the wonders of these new "Mr. Clean Magic Erasers". I love these...

    Dry Erase on my Battlemat!

    I know that when you mark on a dry erase board with a permenent marker, or dry erase ink that's been on there too long, the best way to get it off is to use a dry erase marker to scribble over it and then erase as normal. (Though this often ruins the dry erase marker.) Have you tried marking...

    Inside a magic bag...

    Some time ago I recall reading, maybe it was an article in Dragon, or perhaps it was in some 2e book, something about what it looked like when you turned various magical bags inside out. One of the things I recall it saying was that if you turned a Bag of Tricks inside out, there would be a...

    What Class fits this party?

    I thought you were running this NPC to let the party do their thing. The party you describe already has a wizard and a fighter (though not ranged). All and all I pretty much agree with Wocky on all the points he made. My suggestion is that if it's going to interfere with your enjoyment of the...

    Capturing someone alive

    There is a Cleric spell that does that ("Status" or some such, I don't remember what level.) You should be able to find it in the PHB. Also, remember that you don't have to literally knock somebody out to subdue them. Saving throws or no. There's a lovely magic item in the DMG called "Bands...

    WotC stores: dead?

    Hmm, well, the one at the Block in Orange (California) always had people in it... Not sure on how much they were buying... The RPG section was liquidated a little while ago anyway. I'll have to pop over there and see what's on sale. Maybe I can get D&D Clue at a good discount. :D . . ...

    Downtime Based XP?

    In my group we have revolving DMs. When a person is DM'ing they're character is removed from action and considered to be off elsewhere doing other things. When the person's time DM'ing is up, the PC is reintroduced with the average experience gained during their players reign as Screen Monkey...

    D&D Clue..?

    Okay, you get a cookie for that one... plus two plus... Somebody I know got this for a game night. It's pretty spiff.

    Dragon 315: "The Suits"

    Okay, that's rather sucky on a number of levels. So a) why must she not be named? Is it just that "we" don't like her, or is there a more... legal reason? and b) what sort of control does she have now a days?
