In my personal experience, it has quite a bit to do with group dynamics, self confidence, and character development. Overall, confidence isn't a big problem for me, but I've seen this as a barrier to other players I've played with. Give me a good background (RP) to sink my teeth into (such as...

There have to be a ton of RM fans like me out there. I'm a long-time D&D player and gamemaster. I played RM at conventions (as well as Fantasy Hero), and marvelled at the GM's ability to make this complex system easier to use than D&D, and more role-playing focused. I loved the concept of RM...

Wizards of the Coast I'll nominate Wizards of the Coast. Their web support, which includes free modules, free maps, free graphics, and now effective rules guidance and DM advice. Pretty outstanding in the big picture. By the way, they are also one of the biggest d20 material producers, if...

I would like to point out, again, how ridiculously cool this board is...looking for a campaign plot idea, how about one of it's key contributer/designers chiming in with a few ideas. Thank you Eric for being so cool, and making contributions to the discussion. Local ideas to Thay. Well it...

I'm particularly fond of #2 and #3 from your list. At high levels, one of the consistent challenges is effectively gauging your opponent, their motivation, and their tactics. Act too quick, and you've wasted valuable resources. Delay too long, and it will be over before you can act...

Two words: Movie Deal. Could be animated, could be for tv, could be for direct release. That's my bet.

Ok, hold on a minute, people are talking about me here. I'm very sorry about having to postpone my Friday game to Sunday, I would have loved to have seen you. We ran it with great success. I'm sure you understand that I would only cancel in an emergency, and it did involve myself, my wife...

Fey have a very key role in a world of "magic". They could even be seen as "physical representations" of the nature of magic, and bridge the line between this world, and others. Nymphs and Satyrs work well. I like sprites, too. I've always been drawn to the Treant for some reason...

It would have to be authored by Monte Cook and Ed Greenwood It would have to be set in the Forgotten Realms It would have to be high level It would be ideal if it were an adventure/sourcebook I'd say, 3.5 Edition updated hardback on Myth Drannor, or possibly mega-adventure the details a war...

1.) I currently have 8 players in my regular group. 2.) Yes 3.) Yes, one. But not in the same campaign. 4.) All 9 male 5.) Comic Town in Westerville, OH, and it's where we play 6.) FR campaign world, Cormyr, mix of modules/dungeon/homebrew 7.) 20 years, 33 years old 8.) I was first...

1) Yeah!!!! Already done in my campaigns. 2) Boo!!!! Bring back rolling for stats, BUT use a variant of the 32 point mechanic to ensure that stat bonuses are more evened out. 3) Take it or leave it. One thing I know: there are too many of them! You should have 5 - 8 spells you use over and...

Let's try our best to keep it civil here, please. These are close to attacking words. I disagree with the assessment that you are perceived as a stat-blocking min/maxer (as that's what I am!), but rather, can't we be stat-blocking min/maxers without this much complexity, thereby opening up...

First off, Quas, have you ever played the game above 12th level? A DC25 (as you point out down below, as one of the highest in the game) is a joke for any PC of this level to make. The average bonuses range around 15 (base) + 3 - 6 for stat and if it's of any relevance there will almost...

Thank you SweeneyTodd. You've said it very eloquently here. The point of my post (again, a quote from a player) is that the majority of gamers (which this board is most definitely not), will not and do not play above 12th level. With foresight, can we help to build a better infrastructure...

Well it is interesting to see the divergent opinions on the subject at least. Thank you for all your contributions. I'm sure we can keep it civil moving forward. I'd love nothing more than for a mod to edit this thread of several unnecessary comments and retorts. So, I tried out some new...

Oh, I am there, and it is ON LIKE DONKEY KONG!!!! The weather forecast from our local meteorologist, Chris Bradley, indicates it will be hot (humid) low 80's with a chance for off/on thunderstorms through the weekend. The weather in the convention center will be cool and air conditioned...

Quickleaf, thank you for your participation in this topic. I hope this will be something looked at by the many designers who are out here on the boards, as we look at our next edition. I think you've done a nice job of providing some great credits to other companies that can provide very...

I'll be there all four days. Looking forward to a great con! Let me know the details on theget together here on the boards. I'm running D20 on Friday/Saturday, and both events are sold out! Woot! (Myrik Games)

How have all these classes and prestige classes affected your games? Our games are more dynamic because of the variety, and more experienced players always seem to be entertained trying a new twist on an old favorite. Do you allow material from any (all) books outside the core SRD? We use...
