Thank you all for your wonderful suggestions! After some consideration, I've decided to eliminate "save or die" type magic and effects, and add some type of hero point system. My question is now, what would be a good hero point system? I've thought about the system in d20 Modern, but do you...

Same with me. After investing so much money in time in 3e, I can't imagine rushing out and selling all my 3e and buying 3.5e.

In designing my homebrew I've come across a major problem-mainly what to do with the "raise dead" and "ressurection" spells. I never liked spells that restored life to a dead character, mainly because they seemed too "meta-game", grounded more in game rules, than in the fantasy and mythology...

I really don't like jumping into threads like this because the definition of what is "best" and "worst" often depends on what the player (of DM) wants. For example, many people hated Dieties and Demigods, because of the focus of diety stats, and lack of worship information. I however...

With the release of 3.5e, WotC talked a lot about how they saw D&D as a "living game", that is a game that changes over time. This means that from player feedback, the game will constantly be revised, however the this may mean that a new edition will be released every few years. The question I...

You know I really wish I knew some more of these "munchkins". I wouldn't mind gaming with them. I've played with way too many drama freaks who are obsessed with making their characters as weak and pitiful as possible in order to make the game more dramatic (O, woe is me!) I wouldn't mind a...

I really had a hard time with this poll. Even though some of WotC books are better than others, I really have a hard time deciding which one is the worst. After all, to me even the "worst" official 3e book is still better than 90% of all 3rd party d20 stuff. I really liked the ELH...

Yeah! My campaigns feature tons of SEX! We role-play all our sexual encounters out in detail. We have rules for sexuality, bestiality, and masturbation all of which we use quite frequently. We're waiting for The Book of Erotic Fantasy so that we can take our games to the next level in terms...

I've been looking forward to Eden Studio's Fields of Blood: Book of War for some time. I noticed the release date is slated as July/August 2003. Does anyone know a more specific release date? Has the book been delayed again?

Downslide The current campaign which I'm working on features a rather bittersweet undercurrent. While the heroes are powerful and heroic, things are in decline. Evil is returning. The ancient races of elves and dragons are dying. Magic begining to wane. In spite of the power of the wizards...

For the most part I think the art is really good. Nice to see them getting away from the "dungeon punk" style of art.

Nope, I have no plans to shell out another $90+ dollars for a new edition. All the changes that I've seen have been for the worse. No need to support WotC's curent policy of releasing a shoddy, rushed, poorly playtested new edition without any compelling reason to do so. (edit. Fixed spelling...

Why? Because a new edition wasn't necessary. If it ain't broke don't fix it! I don't want to shell out another $90 for the core rules! Plus, the new edition invalidates all my d20 books. Talk about backwards compatibility all you like, but the fact remains that it's going to take some work...

Here in Japan it's really freakin' hot and humid! It's got up to 32C yesterday and the day before was even hotter(I think it got up to 35 or 36C). The humidity however has been close to 100%

I actually had a player bring a gun to a game once. However, the gun was unloaded, and he didn't point it at anything (he just left it in the case). He was really into hunting and shooting, so he wanted to show the DM (also into hunting and shooting) his new handgun. Still, it was weird for a...

I remember back in high school I had a player who played a rogue with a penchant for caltrops. He had a bag with several hundred caltrops. Once when being persued down a corridor, he anounced he spilled the entire bag in a 5' square. When the persuers failed their saving throw I announced...

I've had mixed experiences. Although it seems like there are a lot of gamers in college, it sometimes has been hard for me to find a group, because it seemed like many of the college gamers were rather "cliquish". Perhaps, I just have bad luck.

I hate it! Every time I try to access the gaming report website, it gets blocked by Norton Internet Security because it has to do with "gambling". (Probably, the word "gaming" makes the program think that it's a gambling site.) The bad thing is that I'm using a public computer, so I can't...

I'm a 22year old university student studying linguistics and minoring in East Asian Civilization. I'm currently in Japan doing and internship, teaching middle school and high school students in an English academic summer camp.

What disturbs me is the apparent focus on deviant sexuality and "kink". I don't know about others, but I view bondage, S&M, and other fetishes as disturbing to say the least. I don't find any of the aforementioned "kink" erotic at all. I find a fully clothed woman in a revealing position a...
