    With No Internet, How many Monsters?

    I have a 3 or four inch binder full of creatures, plus an inch thick manila folder of monsters, mostly from the CC. I've probably got half of the MMII and MMIII for free (I printed them out back when I lived with my parents at home).

    What the hell happened? RHoD (spoilers)

    Uh, I thought druids are all about buff spells and battlefield control spells. What DID this lich have? Also, what was the level distribution? It had to be, what 10th level at least? Blighter might have blunted it's spells and whatnot. Did it have animal companions since it's a druid...

    The superman plague

    So, cyanide darts and garrotes are still good?

    I tried the 4 player standard, what a mess...

    A 1st level SORCEROR should have more than that. Also, a wizard PC with a merciful GM who lets them start with a little XP to use on scrolls...more than 3 spells.

    How do you read published aventures?

    I read it straight through and miss every single retarded or missing aspect of the map, plot, or whatever. Until I'm reading it for real, when I'm running the module. And then I sit there for a few seconds wondering how I missed that when I "read" the module.

    I'm gonna run The Tomb of Horrors for level 15-17 chars...

    I have a term for this--"dick move". Similar to when a GM ruled that a custom artifact's anti-magic emanation would travel up the rope to the magic flying carpet my brother planned to hang it from as the party traveled through the air. You have my sympathy. Personally, one of my PCs used...

    I'm gonna run The Tomb of Horrors for level 15-17 chars...

    Riiiight. Well. That's Gygax for you. Uh, that's a damn sight different from just running whooping and hollering through the Tomb. Not like there's anyone to hear them, anyway. They are taking precautions...I don't know about the following the animals, but it's better them then the PCs...

    I'm gonna run The Tomb of Horrors for level 15-17 chars...

    "Kick-in-the-door" is not what I was referring to. I like KITD style, it's the major component of the campaign I run. I like killing monsters and taking their stuff. The Tomb kills overconfident players, those who are impulsive, rash, overly aggressive, greedy, grasping... in my opinion these...

    I'm gonna run The Tomb of Horrors for level 15-17 chars...

    :mad: :mad: :mad: Obviously you have never played it with non-idiot PCs or never read through it. It's only a TPK if you run around touching everything you can. It occurs to me that the Tomb is meant to show stupid, overconfident players what for. Of course, if you are not stupid and...

    I like it also. But it's like other people have mentioned...it's REALLY S L O W .

    The problem of keeping magic items scarce...

    Play a game that is meant to have a low-magic state. Which means, amazingly, playing a different game than 3.5 D&D. It's not meant to do everything--it's meant to do exactly what is in the Core rules and not much else. Specifically not what you're doing.

    Complex underpowered magic items in Magic Item Compendium

    Not a democracy, no, but after a few decades of waste and graft people start to get really pissed off. There's three kinds of medieval English kings--those who wasted loads of money and lost wars, those who spent loads of money and won wars and those who saved loads of money and stayed home...

    Complex underpowered magic items in Magic Item Compendium

    A rogue making a thrown sneak attack with that using all five charges is a great way to open a big fight or one shot something. Also, it also has that old school flavor to it with the charges and the varied abilities. Not bad.

    Weapon Illustrations in RPG Books

    Yes, people are stupid. 3" nail-like spikes on the front of your armor and your back plate spaced 1" or 1 1/2" apart probably isn't going to do that.

    Weapon Illustrations in RPG Books

    Tell me how, if I am wearing armor, I can hurt myself with the spikes? Tell me, if I am wearing armor, channeling hits INTO my armor is such a horrible thing? Tell me, if the blow from a hammer is so powerful and it happens to hit one of the spikes at the exact right angle, and drive it out...

    Old School Flavor Doesn't Mean Lazy

    I have not examined the 3.5 DMG, but the 3.0 writeups are retarded in almost every area. Equipment is no surprise.

    Why I don't support my LGS

    If you're not wearing a sword and a coat of mail, I can't think of anything else to wear to a Ren Fair.

    What Would You Get From This Pile?

    I agree--buy it all. You shouldn't pass up a deal like this. Deal of a lifetime. Buy it all.
