Anyone want to suggest WHY there has never been the grand champion of sci-fi games? I never really understood it. Perhaps the argument could be made that because sci-fi is inherently forward looking (at its best) its difficult to pick the one set of elements that links all sci-fi together...

I think they ARE doing a Narnia one, actually, I think after the success of Harry Potter they started planning them. I'd like to see some TV series based on the classic Fantasy books, like the Fritz Lieber Fafhard/Grey Mouser books, or the Elric books. Take the technology used for Xena, but...

I play a Paladin of Heironeous as well. I started with two levels of fighter and then switched to Paladin. My DM, normally very good, unfortunately didn't do a lot with that which was a shame. I play my character as someone who is a soldier at heart, but also adheres to the dogma of...

I only know the module from a version someone did for Neverwinter Nights, so it might not be a direct translation. In that version, the Goblins also came in the winter and sold another apple that was horribly poisonous. Evil people from all around came to buy this apple, so it wasn't so good...

This was titled 'A Paladin in Hell'. I always liked it too. Apparently we weren't the only ones as they made a module of the same name not too long ago.

60. You start a discussion with your new DM with the words: "All the races in the players handbook are boring." 61. You ask your DM if it would be possible to have the PCs start at a level higher than 1st so that you can have (fill in the blank) ECL sub-race from an obscure sourcebook...

Ok, we have 3 players now, so I need one more. Anyone interested?

The Futurama with Gygax is by far my all time favorite episode of the show (which I don't like that much). Gygax, Al Gore, Stephen Hawking and Nichelle Nicols (Uhura!) were part of an elite group who helped keep the space time continuum intact. Fry's response 'You're all a bunch of geeks!'...

Still looking. Anyone. . . anyone?

Oooh, this comment opens up a whole can of worms. If the player chooses to take a class combination that makes them particularly weak, then shouldn't they have to deal with the consequences? Having the DM adjust the encounters by a curious character concept runs against any instinct I have...

Ratchis, I figured as much. You guys are definitely lucky to have such a good roleplaying group. Thats the only way to make your game work. If you didn't, I imagine it would get frustrating, but you must get so much enjoyment out of roleplaying that it counters the frustrating and depressing...

I've read this thread for a long time, I may have commented once or twice. But I'm curious about something. Your game has a rich story, with many plotlines, many unconventional events, and interesting twists, great roleplaying, a detailed world, and I'm sure excellent DMing. But... I can't...

An update Ok, as an update, I now have 2 players, so I'm still looking for two more. If you want any details on the setting, the style of play, or whatever, just email me.

After a long time off, I'm thinking of restarting a 3rd edition D&D campaign in my homegrown setting. It would be in midtown Manhattan, once every couple of weeks on a weeknight (probably 6:30 to 10pm). Occasionally, we might do a weekend or friday night game that can go later, but that would...

Some good stuff here, and some funny comments too, I like it. The staying idea is actually really cool. I would consider it but in our campaign the party is actually serving a higher power, and their main mission can't really be put off. The idea of attacking the slavers was of questionable...

Yeah, you nailed a couple other points. The party is a large (8 member) 6th level party. We are under a lot of time pressure to get back to civilization, and since ships are not leaving a regular basis, if we miss the boat we'll be stuck here for quite awhile, which is not a solution. There...

I'm currently playing in a campaign and though I don't know if its cheating to ask this here (since there are no right or wrong answers, I'm guessing no), I'm wondering what you would all do in this situation. My party was sent to the jungles, a month by sea away from civilized lands to recover...

Graphics card This is almost certainly a problem with your video card or other hardware. There have been a few problems related to this. I suggest looking at the forums on Totalwar.com, or the ones for you card manufacturer. I have a similar problem. The game worked fine until I upgraded to...

Great stuff! I too invested a gazillion dollars in all the Campaign Cartographer stuff, and quickly realized that I just don't have the patience to learn how to use it quickly, its like learning to use all the ins and outs of photoshop. I just downloaded the Fractal Mapper demo. Good stuff...

This discussion puzzles me I see a lot of people commenting how the e-tools don't measure up. I see some people talking about how what they want shouldn't be so hard to develop. I see other people defending the developers. Defending the product by saying the design and team changed 3 times...
