Dark Sun is my all-time favorite official (A)D&D setting. Still, I would prefer not to see it released for the 4th edition. It's not that I want to deny 4E fans the joys of Dark Sun. It also won't impact my games in the near future, since I don't play 4E and even 4E Dark Sun would not going to...

My thoughts are with you and your family. May the recovery be swift and complete. I second this. It seems rather scary that he fell into a coma during his sleep. Has the cause been determined yet?

My first (A)D&D experience came in the form of the CRPG Dark Sun: Shattered Lands (and boy was that game good!). I think that was in 1993 or 1994. I started playing the PnP version of 2E AD&D a few years later - perhaps in 1995 or thereabouts. I should note, however, that I had already been...

I don't think your reply was at all offensive and it doesn't show at all that English is not your native language. :)

The first thing that I need to be say on this topic is that as a gamer I do not feel obliged to judge the game on its commercial success for the company concerned - merely on how it suits my gaming needs. Yes, I take an interest in the general RPG industry and market, but I am not going to begin...

I was cautiously optimistic when 4E was first announced. 3.5E was good, but I am a person who likes a bit of change now and then, so I thought 4E might provide that. I was a bit worried that the direction of that change might not be in the direction I like, but I thought the change would not be...

I voted for being about 90% GM. I really enjoy being the GM, so I am rather happy with that balance.

For me game mechanics and role playing go together. When I decide on how my character is to be, I like it when the rules support and reflect my decisions (of course, there needs to be a maximum limit on power) - if I want to play a character who is a great swimmer, but a mediocre swimmer, I want...

I too love 3.XE! Essentially, I currently refuse to DM any other edition of D&D than 3.5E (I will GM other games, including Pathfinder), though I guess I might be willing to play another edition, even though even as a player my preference among all D&D's would be 3.5E. :)

Here is the link: Giant In the Playground Games

Have you checked out Joe Landolfi's thread on this forum? It might be of interest, though the timing might not be viable. I just joined that game and am enjoying it.

Lee = Lawful Evil Nero = Neutral Evil Cedrik = Chaotic Evil The first two letters of the name are an acronym for alignment.

Wow - that is one stunning cover! :cool:

I strongly sympathize with the DM that the original post is referring to. I am strict about what I allow or don't allow too. As far as names go, for example, in one of my current campaigns. I don't accept silly/goofy names, names of famous fictional characters or real-world people (unless, of...

Yep, the d10 is the only D&D die that is not a Platonic Solid. Although it is still a regular/fair die, it still bothers me at an aesthetic level.

It was an interesting comic, but I am a bit disappointed that Giant didn't take this opportunity to end the running joke on the gender-ambiguity of V. It was funny for a while, but it is starting to grate on my nerves.

Delericho, I like your idea. So far I have been partial to a racial or a flat bonus at level 1 and I still think it has some advantages, but your idea has definite elegance to it as well. I would not, however, keep the maximum hit points at level 1 - that simply makes multiclassing unfair based...

Thanks Flatus Maximus and Elric! These formulae will definitely prove useful to me in calculating dice probabilities. :)

Hello Joe, Your campaign sounds intriguing, but I do have several questions/comments: 1) I have never used either Ventrilo or Fantasy Grounds 2. I am certainly willing to try, but might require some initial 'support' if it's very complex. 2) The time slot is fine by me - I could commit to...

An interesting idea - a series of books that support progressively higher levels: Epic Level Handbook, Divine Level Handbook... Yes, this would have the benefit of not pre-defining a limit to advancement, yet every 'tier' could be given proper treatment. Of course, you would have to decide...
