I've never met Gary in person but if he's excreting these pheromones then I'm frightened at what I might do to him. My 3E FRCS smells like a chemical plant or drug lab.

So you keep saying . . . but my 1E DMG still smells like old horse or wet dog.

Sorry about the Star Wars comments. I take them back. :o But this thread is NOT an edition war. Not at all.

This is different. The new Star Wars films are clearly inferior and even a new comer would recoil in disgust. They are tacky, they use CGI gimmicks, they have bad acting, they are submissive to PG ratings. In other words, they compromised the Star Wars mythos to make mega bucks. I don't think...

I don't think the "generic" demi-human gods were in Gygax's original vision of GH. It's just that after Unearthed Arcana TSR management decided every world would adopt them (GH, FR and Birthright). Only with 2nd Edition did they become canon for GH, I think. In UA they were presented as an...

I know there's a lot of DMs that don't like PCs to die unless they do something stupid. But what happens if it's just the luck of the dice. For example, the PC has to save or die versus a Finger of Death or Disintergrate, etc. (Even worse, it's a Power Word Kill and there's NO saving throw!)...

When I used to buy Basic D&D, 1E AD&D, or 2E AD&D products (early era) my heart would be flushed with these warm tingly feelings and I'd kick my legs in delight as I ripped off the shrink wrap. Why is it that I don't get that feeling in 3E? (Actually, to be honest, I started to lose this...

In D&D 3E it seems a forgone conclusion that you'll have a monstrous encounter every day when you go travelling. If the chance of encounter is 5-10% per hour and there's 24 hours in a day, then you're gonna come across some beastie. Not to mention, that rolling percentiles 24 times per day is...

Yes, I think the new guy's Scottish accent will die soon. He actually was caught out NOT using it once during the first session while supposedly speaking IC. Also, you're all right about the jokes made by other players about another's accent. I found that during the first session: the other...

I notice that my players very rarely speak in a distinctive character "voice". I noticed it with such contrast when a new player joined and he started playing a PC with a Scottish accent. With this accent, I could always identify when he was speaking in character. This is important for me...

There was one difference in FR's Arcane Age: Netheril 2E AD&D product line: It was 1E AD&D!!!!!!!!! Yes, in the appendix, they gave you all the rules to play 1E in this 2E product! Remember, the Time of Troubles ushered in the 2E rules. Everything before then was 1E. Similarly for GH, the...

Almost any chump can cast magic in D&D. All you need is a 10 INT and you can cast a devestating Magic Missile!

Indeed, in the '83 GH boxed set, it says magic is fading in the world. That's what made me wonder if GH would be dead magic. Maybe it'd be like Warhammer 40K. I don't think there's magic in that, but there are orcs and elves and psionics.

Will my PC be bent over and violated like in the old edition? See thread The DM violated my PC

That's an excellent solution! I should have done just that! Unfortunately, now, I've lost my chance because the "charm" has warn off. I'll keep this in mind in the future. ;)

This would make me just as bad as them. . . . Although I have fantasized. I fantasized about drugging them and taking them to a Chaos surgeon to give them dispicable grafts. Or, give them over to a *really* evil cult to perform acts of perversity on their bodies that you wouldn't wish on your...

The other PCs had been trying to secretly convert me for sometime. He gave in to them. He also had to deal with my PC being the "odd one out". So I guess the answer is: Yes. A made up divinely powerful spell. Its was actually laced into a book my PC was reading. Not sure on the details...

I actually kinda did something like this when I was first "turned" to Chaos. You see, I was so upset about what happened but kept quiet . . . anyway, on our adventure at the time, we came across a child (a lone survivor from an orc raid). Now, the other PCs proceeded to conduct some ritual to...

. Yes, it is. The DM has taken some liberties here. He says Tzentch isn't Chaotic Evil, but more Chaotic Neutral. Nevertheless, this does not excuse the other players having their wicked way with me. My steadfast, dwarf is now traumatised . . . he hated Chaos so much and for a while became a...

I know what you mean. With this same group (before I joined them) apparently one PC sodomised another PC! The culprit was a secret worship of the Chaos god Slaanesh and like to have his way with people. He drugged another PC and bent him over (no metaphor here) :confused:
