I have two questions that I would like to get some assistance with. First. I am looking to set up different schools of magic for a S&W/OD&D game like AD&D had with the Illusionist. To clarify I want to break down the spells into different "spheres or schools" that I can base some specialist...

I like your maps. I wish more people would create their maps for printing with laser printers. Or at least be able to turn off the background.

Sid Meier's Pirates! I like me some pirate action, especially romancing the beautiful governor's daughters. All of the them; even the plain ones. I'm a pirate and need a booty call in every port. Argh!

After 25 years, I am tired of cookie-cutter gish and blandsingers.

So as to not skew any others... I wonder if you were to ask, Option 1: Lords of the Rings Option 2: Conan If we would see the same responses?

I get what you're saying and why you took the earlier response the way you did. I would be interested to know why or what you hope to gain from running or reading about EGG and Co's Castle Greyhawk. Just interested because I would love to see, read, or experience first-hand accounts of the...

Woah there, I mistook your post in the same way friend. Especially with a title that says, "I want to Run/Read Castle Greyhawk..." On the other hand I would love to see design notes on how the early guys created their dungeons and allowed them to evolve through play.

In my limited experience, far more characters made it through the Tomb of Horrors than didn't because they were played in a more realistic manner than "let's stick my finger in the mouth and see what happens." People weened on 2e and up will be much more likely to get slaughtered. The players...

The front page looks good now. Hope the work is going smoothly for you Morrus.

I see that the front page is a work in progress, though I have to chime in with my thoughts and concerns. Is the front page going to continue to force me to scroll right to access the message boards. I am running at 1280 x 1024? Does the D&D Insider Update really belong in the upper left near...

On a tangent, Final Fantasy 1 has to be one of my more favorite RPGs for consoles/handhelds. I still play all of the versions I have except one--NES. Losing an attack because someone else killed the monster resulted in the game becoming more about mathematical calculations to determine the...

Has her husband (or SO) played with her one-on-one or taught her any of the rules?

If i remember correctly, you are talking about regaining up to 3 hit points per day of rest. Any way, it sure does keep down the "levels 1 to 20 in a month" problem some gamers have.

First off, your home game doesn't matter with regards to my point. The only things that matter are the game assumptions that are brought to each individual table, whether they are at home, pick-up games/game days, or conventions. If we gamed together on a regular basis, then I would expect that...

I don't play 4e, but one of its clear selling points to me is that the rule system does not vary much from table to table. Its "everything is core" philosophy, reliance of some on the CB, and minimal 3pp options, keep everyone on the same playing field. Very similar in my opinion and experience...

Seriously, I have to spread XP around before giving it mearls again. I'll make this short and sweet then let you get back to the congrats. Your first few paragraphs that I quoted above express very clearly how I feel about this new edition. You clearly understand why there are problems in our...

Made my saving throw, congrats Mike.

crappy players = crappy game regardless of rule system 'nough said.

No problem, glad I could help.

Hexes have their roots in wargaming from which D&D derived, and tradition holds heavy sway in our hobby. But from a more scientific view, if I am not mistaken, hexes are the geometric forms with the most sides that exist that allow entering directly into another. For example, I toyed with an...
