I totally agree. I am reminded of a game I DMed a few years ago where one player got left behind in a cave that was the home of a group of Ogres. The PC was about 3rd level. The Ogres had been capturing children from the nearby human village. At first, when the Ogres returned home trapping...

I really like challenging my players with morally ambiguous or difficult situations. Some that I've used in the past: 1. Saddle them with an innocent NPC who inadvertently causes them a lot of trouble, repeatedly. Every time he is in danger, and the PCs have to rescue him at risk to...

Yeah, there is a wizard that is central to my homebrew. He started out at about 19, and we have covered his life all the way up to lichdom, as he struggled to avoid death from natural causes. I've also seen people play aged wizards and priests. Its more common in 3e than it was before.

In my experience abstract wealth systems make things more difficult. I like to know specifics when it comes to the PC's resources.

I can't think of any off-hand, but I do think that "God of Sorrow" sounds a little better than "God of Unhappiness." Just my opinion of course.. ;)

I thought it was alright. Not the best one evar or anything,but it was ok. And I liked the "tagonist" explaination as well.

Most any living creature can have a disease. And most diseases are contagious. [shameless plug] Natures Wrath offers a list of over 50 real world diseases such as Rabies, Cholera, Plague, Anthrax, and many more. Each disease description includes details on the transmission method and...

They are not allowed in my homebrew. The setting predates them by several years and retro-fitting them won't work. Wizards and their methods of magic are an important part of the world's backstory. Not to mention that dragons have been extinct for centuries.

I''ve been reading some short stories lately. The best ones have been "Vandy, Vandy" by Manly Wade Wellman, "The Crowd" by Ray Bradbury. "The Reach" by Stephen King, and "A Little Something for us Tempunauts" by Philip K. Dick. I'll be working my way deeper into my short story collection in...

IMO, PDFs should be priced based on word count, not page count. When pricing by word, there is a curve. Long books with 50,000+ words usually have a lower per word cost than shorter titles (5,000 words).

$1.80 with your kroger card. About the cheapest in the area. Still too high for my taste.

The Ninja (for d20 Modern) only $1.35. :)

We usually divide it up based on location or CR, depending on how many there are.

I thought it had a massive plot hole. Its been too long ago now for me to remember it, but I know when it ended I was thinking "WTF!" Then the screen said "Written by Harlen Elison." And I said, "Oh, well that explains it."

Oh, I agree. I cringed typing her name. Nevertheless, its cool to see the fruits of Dr. Kings efforts like that.

I've seen Whoopi Goldberg say that she saw Nichele Nicholls as a role model when she was growing up and considering a career in show busness. Yeah, the original Star Trek is pretty cool... except for that one episode written by Harlen Elison (involving a time warp)...

Speaking strictly in terms of game balance, there really isn't any reason why you can't. Monte has said before that the high rate of treasure that characters typically get (according to the tables in the DMG) is high because it is offset by characters periodically losing items, including their...

My vote is for the Chocolate Chip too, and it's various cousins (Chocolate chunk and White Chocolate Chip)

Ugly? He's absolutely revolting!

No. I have an intrinsic sense of time that is uncanny.
