    Is this fair? -- your personal opinion

    Probably the smartest post in this entire tread! :p

    I need a good word for type of monsters

    My immediate instinct was to suggest the unliving, but unborn is perhaps even better.

    Is a Drow Druid possible?

    Go for it. I've used vermin oriented druids as bad guys myself, and not a single player reacted to my slight rule-bending. You said you wanted focus on Lotlh's chaotic aspect, so I'd go for something a bit bizarre for the last cleric or two. Why not have a straight up cleric devoted to chaos...

    Unsatisfactory BBEG Fight?

    I'd be satified any way the fight turned out. Even if it was a TPK. I let the dice fall as they will. They random element they bring to the game helps keep it interesting. :)

    Will you accept fudging?

    I voted 1. I'm not a fan of fudging, either as DM or player, and prefer fudging to be used only to rectify a potentially lethal mistake on the DMs behalf. Most of my group seem to enjoy the "let the dice fall as they will" style of play, and we've never had a DM screen. The exception is the...

    D&D 4E MERGED - 4E News complaint threads; please don't start another

    Rumours and speculations aren't news. When there are news I'll read them. Rumours on the other hand, don't interst me. Personally, I hope we don't see any news for a long time yet. I'm quite happy with D&D as it is. Not that it is perfect, but there's nothing so wrong about it as to warrant a...

    New Crunch: I done had enough of this stuff!!!

    Shilsen summed it up pretty good, I think... I've known a couple of players who were a bit like your group, but not on the same scale. One just loved trying out new characters, and his characters always took insane risks and chances. He didn't care if they got killed, since that gave him the...

    Dwarves don't sell novels

    Where??? :confused: Sorry, I just had to take that sentence out of its context! :lol:

    New Campaign=New Setting?

    I've used the same homebrew world for every campaing I've ever run. This means it keeps getting fleshed out more and more for each campaign, and the players' have helped give it the structure and form it has today. The players love it when their new characters come to places where retired PCs...

    Vikings D20

    No, no, hold on to her! You never no what nuggets she might someday provide. :)

    [d20] Unorthodox Pirates!

    Ohm why wasn't this published 5 years ago! It would've saved my an awful lot of work when I started my pirate campaign. ;)

    Vikings D20

    I don't know what it your muse is trying to tell you, but I'm quite pleased with how my rune magic system turned out, although it took a load more work than I originally believed. The basic prinsiple is quite simple, but it had greater repurcussions than I first thought. It required me to come...

    What settings are you most interested in?

    Historical low-magic for me please! It's nearly done now... ;)

    Vikings D20

    I haven't got all my books here right now, but here's a few samples off the top of my head: Original source material in the form of sagas, including (among others) everything written by Snorre Sturlasson. The Encyclopedia of Norse Mythology* (Idar Lind) The Battle of Norway* (Torgrim...

    Help me populate a 400-person village.

    This all sounds very cool, RW! :lol: I take it the majority of the children will be commoners, warriors or experts? Or do you want them to have powers and abilities that are as mysterious as their heritage? Either way, you do realize you absolutely got to throw in a young kobold who is...

    Is The Temple of Elemental Evil a well-designed adventure module?

    Too much dungeon crawling and too much hack'n'slash for my taste. :\

    Dungeon's new pirates of the caribbean series

    Only if it could catch it somehow! :p A longship would be at least twice as fast as a sloop.

    What would you play in this group?

    I was gonna suggest a diviner specialist wizard, with little blast and plenty of utility. Then I noticed this... :\ Since your group seems to have all the classic bases covered, why not take the opportunity to try something different? Don't think too much about what the party needs, figure...

    Vikings D20

    While I've been writing Vikings D20, I've made a point of not reading other RPG books. Instead I've been reading up on Vikings and old norse mythology. The idea is to create a system that feels and is as authentically Viking as possible. Many of the written sources from the Viking era give...

    Vikings D20

    Lightning struck a transformer right outside my house, just a couple of days before my wedding. I guess something I wrote must've upset Thor! :p Just about everything electronic got fried, and according to the missus a new PC was not on top of our list of priorities! :confused:
