Of course, you know that there's only one TRUE Shadow! :D

There are several things that I absolutely HATE in campaign settings: 1. Grim 'n Gritty & Nihilistic Worlds: Some worlds take great delight in informing players that there is no hope. If there is no hope, why bother playing? I want to play in a world where I can be heroic, not get depressed...

I guess it depends on who I'm gaming with. I remember some time ago back in high school (*shuders*) I played a female, half-elf, fighter/mage. I never heard the end of it from everyone. I had another player hit on my character and want to "do" her. As a result I'm reluctant to do the...

I'm just glad that the hobbits weren't using 3.5e rules in the Lord of the Rings. I can't imagine Frodo getting a -2 penalty using Sting because it was the wrong size category!

Dark Sun Boxed Set: It was one of the most original and unique campaigns ever made! Birthright Campaign Setting: Deffinately one of the best "high fantasy" campaigns, even if you weren't playing regents. Most of all, the authors paid a lot of attention to linguistic and historical detail, so...

I hate 3.5e weapon size rules! They are supposed to add more "realism" to the game (as if D&D ever was "realistic"), but they end up just making the game more confusing. My main problem is with reach weapons such as polearms and longspears. Does a small longspear still get a 10' reach? How...

I've realized that a lot of my characters are what I'd be if I could. They are superficially very different from me, but deep down they represent my inner desires. I have a penchant for playing chaotic barbarians and fighters who throw caution to the wind because I'm naturally shy, cautious...

Well, I remember back a long time ago, my brother was DM-ing a game. He introduced a cursed item "sword of unfairness". After scoring a hit, the player rolled all the dice they owned for damage. However, the one catch was that they took half damage "backlash". One player used the sword to...

I'm sticking with 3e! I haven't found a single new rule in 3.$e that I like. I'm not shelling out another $90 to switch to a new edition after only two years. Besides, I don't like the fact that 3.$e invalidates all my 3.0e d20 supplements.

There have been several threads discussing the idea of eliminating the common tongue. Many people (myself included) have stated that they have eliminated it in their homebrews. I have never liked the idea of a common language. It always seemed silly and contrived. However, linguistic issues...

I bet they'll be creating more monster: the whatever type games for the new World of Darkness. Possibilities include: Succubus: the Lust (It will put AV's BoEF to shame :D !) Smurf: the Smurfing Lawyer: the Parasite (Now that's scary to think about!) Goth: the Angst (all the WW goths get...

The problem with playing myself is that I realize how pitiful I am compared to most RPG characters. I don't have any combat related skills, I don't have any hacking skills, most of my skills are fairly mundane. However, if I had to make a d20 version of myself it would look something like...

I've heard it time and time again - detailed backgrounds for settings and adventures make the game more believable and enjoyable. To some extent I agree. Afterall, going around looting dungeons without reason in a generic fantasy world gets a little silly after a while. However, I've come to...

I voted very unhappy. I was really happy with WotC when 3e was first released about 3 years ago. However, I've become really angry at the direction that D&D is taking. Ever since 3.$e was released last year, I've quit buying D&D and d20 products all together. It seems just as everyone was...

I've been looking for a copy of some of the PDFs by Kenneth Hood, such as his famous Grim-n-Gritty hit point system and firearm rules. I remember that they used to be free downloads off his web page. I did some googling, but all I could come up with were broken links. Are these documents...

I don't care much for "realism" in games. (Besides how can anything featuring magic and mythical beasts be considered "realistic"?) I tend to favor games games with a mythical atmosphere where one legendary hero can take on hordes of lesser minions. How ever I do tend to favor some degree of...

Preach on brother! I have a lot of problems with 3.Xe artwork. While technically very good, it often seems very weird and bizarre. Apparently all the adventurers started hanging out with the bondage and fetish crowd between 2e and 3e!

*hijacks thread* The one question I have is how easy will it be to convert the stats back to 3e? I'm one of the few people that isn't switching to 3.5e, so 3.5e stats for units and spells really don't do me much good.

I love the little known indy rpg Imagine(www.role-playing.com) The only problem is that it's not very well known so it's hard to find people to play it with.

We all love D&D (we wouldn't be posting here if we didn't), but let's face it- there are some things about the game that we really don't like. For me: 1. Everyone speaks the same language: I understand this for game reasons. However, it seems very silly to me that EVERYONE in the whole world...
