I felt that a lot of this looked forced, but I think you caught more specifically, what was bothering me.

OK, I won a bid 7 days ago and have not heard from the seller. I just sent my second email request asking to see if the item has shipped but never heard back from my first one. I am not overly worried at this point as the seller has over 600 feed backs and a vast majority good. My question is...

I agree with the masses, that 5' steps resulting in AoO will remove many tacticle facets of the game. Like you, I hate the idea of a 5' step being able to so safely remove yourself from combat you can do whatever you want such as drink potions, cast spells and shoot bows. I took the approach...

I would say yes. Ther are martial artists that can get up from prone very very quickly. Using tumble to emulate this could be a good option. The full round action from going to prone to kneeling and kneeling to standing has some grounds for merit, but sisnce the rules neither deny this...

I find it funny that so many people won't write in books. After all, a book is notihing but writing and pictures. If notes will help keep things clear, then pencil them in. I don't like post-its and page markers because they are clumsy. One or two are OK, but 15-20 sticking out of a book...

Well, i am in the minority here, but boy does that sound stupid. The concept is fine and it might make a good SNL skit, but an entire move, maybe I am missing something.

Story telling is part of the game, that is why you role play. Sometimes it is a result of poor planning on a DM, I know it has been for me, but should I punish players for a mathmatical oversite on my part? Should I let a campaign end because I threw together a fight that when it is released...

Haven't you ever had a player come up with such a great or original idea that you just had to let them do it? I can't believe there is a DM out there that has not allowed a success like that to go on in their games. I have also been know to reduce the HP on a monster by 1-2 pts so a player who...

Once again, the you play my way or you are wrecking the game or have no right to play it or call it D&D arguement. I have had the opportuinty to play with many different groups throughout my years and have been exposed to many different styles of gameplay and have enjoyed a vast amount of them...

But there are rules for dice rolling dictating the results of all actions, that is the innovation of 3E. Where in the rules does it say a dice roll for combat is more important than one for gathering information, bartering, making contacts, making friends. All of these actions have successes...

Buffy The Vampire Slayer Boy was that bad. Turning all of those girlsinto slayers was lame.

I agree with you, but Above, there are arguments that state, the DM fudging a dice wrecks the entire motivation of the player and the game. All Role Playing in D&D which is all verbal communication to further the game alienates the results of dice + character ability. From what I read, I...

If I understand some of the arguments for play by the rules or you wreck the game, then the game comes down to nothing but dice rolling. There are rules for everything and they eliminate the need to RP at all. If you need to get info, don't RP your character, just roll a gather information...

A player in my game was played an evil cleric who was saved from some ancient cult and had repented from his evil. Really, he was working hard to rebuild his destroyed church and imprisoned god. I set a few ground rules about not being able to kill other PCs and about inter party theft, but it...

This is where we disagree, the game comes down to the players excitement and interest. I will tweak the rules to maximize this as much as I can. There are over 700 pages of rules in just the 3 core books not including the thousands and thousands of pages of rules outside of those sources. I...

Letting the dice fall where they may can destroy a party, campaign or even a gaming group. I was involved in one of the many massive dungeon crawls out there and the DM decided he wanted it to be as challenging as possible and told us characters would die. The problem because, we were manking...

I feel the system is completely inadequate to dealing with so much of the game that I will always fudge dice rolls and outcome. Sure, we have skills for balance, climb and the like, but there are not enough skill points in the game for 90% of characters to become even mildly proficient in...

Agreed. I was thinking of very high DCs with a resistance roll to boot to see if the other person notices. The Trumps were so diverse and their powers were never fully explained or explored within the story. I have always loved them and I figured with greater teleportation as a spell, they...

Even before cell phones I did not wear a watch, I haave girly wrists and they all looked freakishly large on me.
