They are a party of 17th level characters. They wipe the floor with old dragons. They use demons as feather dusters. All they really do is win, win, win. Still, half the party cringes whenever anything remotely bad shows up. I shouldn't complain. I don't want them arrogant... Usually they...

Neat stuff. Sure.

Like a lot of you, I'm constantly tinkering with the rules of D&D. I don't usually implement all of these changes, but it seems that I'm always tweaking. I try to bounce these ideas off my players, and I've noticed a strange trend: player's seem to feel that whatever class they're playing is...

Yeah, I'm guilty of the same thing.

In other words, is it an earth-sized sphere orbiting a sol-like star? Generally speaking, do the rules of physics of the real world apply to your fantasy world? If so, why? How do you feel about flat worlds? Worlds where the sky is actually a demi-plane hung with crystaline lanterns. Worlds...

Where should we send flowers and notes of sympathy? :p

I hate you so much!

There have been a number of threads discussing this very topic (and including a few more systems). Hopefully someone with the search feature will be kind enough to assist you by posting links.

As I stated, he isn't supposed to have a name. I'm just trying to come up with a name that I can pretend is a fantasy language word for "Creator" or "The One." A good example would be Tolkien's Eru...which simply means "the one." Thanks to everyone for the suggestions.

I like the destroyed temples thing. That's very cool. The problem with just calling him "The Creator" is the way it sounds when I'm writing up the creation myth. "The universe was created by the Creator" sounds stupid to me.

My homebrew world's cosmology includes a now dead creator deity. He/It passed his own lifeforce into the world, giving life to all things. I have been refering to him as "The Creator," but that's getting tiresome. I need help coming up with a name! I'd prefer the name to sound exotic: like a...

Hi, welcome to the internet. Enjoy your stay.

So, for my birthday, you got me guilt? Gee, and I didn't get you a thing. And yeah, I go WAY back before 2002. Something like March of 2000. I just don't say much. :p

Weird double post thing deleted.

May 1st was my birthday. (You say its your birthday...dunna dunna dunna duh da...It's my birthday too). My mom gave me $50 and told me to "spend it foolishly." I have no idea what to get? Any suggestions? I'm not going to give you a bunch of background on me...I'm a gamer with $50. I have a lot...

Great thread. What IS with all the maggots, though?

It won't play for me! :( Stupid Drew's computer!

I think it was always seen as the "balancing" factor of the potential power of wish. Screwing the player is a silly way to balance something (which is already, as you pointed out, a 9th level spell), but it does jibe with mythology (think Midas touch). It would be neat to see a game mechanic...

Thanks for the many replies, and Eric, thank you for the links.

I've seen this term pop up in various threads. From the context, a McGuffin seems to be general term for "important item x." Is this correct? Whence comes the term "McGuffin?" Can I order an Egg McGuffin?
