    Bad DM'ing night

    I certainly don't think you're a bad DM. The PCs acted like dorks, and the orcs acted like orcs. No wonder the bard got killed. :mad: If anything, you have perhaps been a bit too soft on the players in the past, leading them to think they can get away with anything? See, if I was the DM the...

    Poll: How much 3rd party do you use?

    75% WotC, 5% Malhavoc, 20% my own material. Unless we're playing Vikings D20; then it's all my own stuff, except for the SRD.

    If 3.0 Haste were a spell in 3.5, what level would it be?

    IMHO, you can't fix the main problem with 3.0 Haste no matter what level it is. If you think it's a problem, that is. Which I'm not sure I do. Did that make sense at all? :p

    Complete Scoundrel Here

    This sounds really interesting! It looks like I'll be buying my very first Complete book in the near future. :eek: (I've got Comp. Adv. and Comp. Arc., but they were X-mas gifts; I didn't buy them.) I particularly like the tricks mechanic, and the concept for the luck feats. I'm also partial...

    Is there any real world analogue to the Adventurer?

    I notcie several people have already mentioned Vikings, but as I have the last two years spent an awful lot of my free time reading up on Viking history and culture, I'd just like to pipe in an say that they fit the bill perfectly. Going out exploring strange lands and risking their life for...

    Do You Prefer to Play a Human PC When RPGing?

    My favorite race is whichever race I havn't played before. Except half-orc; I've tried every other race in the PHB and have enjoyed them all. I don't know why, but they just seem meh to me. I've also played lizard folk, goblin, orc, those living constructs from FF (can't remember what they're...

    Which spell-like ability did you ask Santa for this year?

    Going for Wish or Miracle is just greedy, and Santa doesn't give Spell-like Abilities to greedy children (or so I've been told). Think of all the fun you could have with a lowly Invisibility. ;)

    Sex with the DM

    My wife's the only female in our regular group. I can honestly say that I've never treated her any different from the other players. (Not in-game, anyway! ;) ) To me; and I think I speak for the rest of the group as well, including wifey, giving her special favors would just be absurd. (I'm...

    What level, class and alignment are you?

    I'm a 8th level Viking, and Vikings don't believe in alignments. :cool: Treasure: Triple items (various electronic equipment (computers, TVs, DVD, Hi-Fi, Etc.), 3500 vintage vinyl albums, 1400 7" vinyl singles. 1000 CDs, a truckload of books, a few hundred movies). No coins (because...

    Warlocks...how do they play?

    One guy in my group tried playing a warlock once, shortly after it was released. It got dull real quick! I even gave the warlock's player 2 extra skill points per level; so he could at least do something other than blast stuff, but it didn't help much. We all found the warlock to be such an...

    Does your gaming take a hit because of the holidays?

    Quite the opposite! :D In addition to the regular mid-week game my friend will be running as usual, I'm returning to the DM chair to run a one-shot, all day, all night, 7 PC, D&D mini-campaign on the 29th of Desember. We'll start with having a big lunch, then game until dinner, and then game...

    Love and gaming

    When I first met my wife, she had zero knowledge of gaming. She had watched the Narnia TV series, and that was the extent of her knowledge about the fantasy genre. I first introduced her to the Magic CCG, which she loved; then to D&D, which she loved even more. Now she's a dedicated roleplayer...

    How much profanity in your game?

    Plenty of OoC swearing, specially when the dice don't fall like we want them too! ;) Edit: Very few dirty jokes, though. What few dirty jokes there are usually come from my wife. :p

    Alignment System

    I think it's ok the way it is now, where it only has any real impact on servants of deities (clerics, paladins, blackguards, etc.) and on creatures with the good or evil subtype. For most D&D campaigns, I think this is the way to go. For Vikings campaigns, on the other hand, alignment is of...

    Core Religion Survivor - Round 3

    Am i the only one who's had it with that goody-goody Heironeous and his holier-than-thou attitude? :]

    Is mounted combat just a waste of time?

    Mounted combat has seen some use in my campaigns, but then I don't use dungeon crawls much. Hardly ever, in fact. The PCs have gotten the biggest benefit from their mounted combat feats at higher levels, when they were able to get a flying mount or one that was at least intelligent enough to not...

    "Forget" Spell

    Why not just whip together a higher level version of Modify Memory? Shouldn't take more than a minute to do.

    Who is the coolest death god(dess)?

    Hel marches her army of the dead against the gods during Ragnarok, just as Voadam said. But they will not help populate the new world. Even though they escape Hel, they remain (un)dead. Freya is also a goddess of death (in addition to love, healing and renewal; an odd combination, I know), but...
