I have a regular friday game I play in. Old school 1st edition but I have fun so I play. It's in an online forum that you pick the games you want to play and I recently switched back to another DM that had done a special quest that defuncted in the past. Unbeknownest to me, my character was...

I have a weird cosmetic question....... If a character gets an 'acid bath' and then healed right away, would any previous scaring or tattoos (non-magical) be gone or does the skin heal back to the way it was before?

I made a magic item for a NPC in my current game (a scout for a desert trip) so that the party can understand him as he speaks very little common. The way I have it work is when he has it on, they understand him and he understands them no matter what the language is being used. Now if another...

I am currently playing in a 3E city campaign based in Waterdeep (YAY!). My character is an out and out thief and recently, due to a spell and general mistrust, was hauled away by the Watch with a couple of other player characters. Now there's the situation: They got dragged off by the Watch...

I'm currently looking for players to flush out my Friday night 3.5e D&D homebrew game. We play from 8:30-11PM EST, sometimes longer depending on the flow of the game or combat. I use AOL/AIM chat rooms for the actual games and information on the world/game may be found by clicking the links in...

I was away at a conference last week and my husband let my mother have our 11 year old son overnight to make picking me up at the airport easier. I have a sister that works for Life Lion as a flight nurse and my mother brought my son to the airport where she's stationed for a visit. She gave him...

I know I have this in a book somewhere but can't find it to save my life. I had the situation but didn't want to spring it on the DM if I didn't have the goods to back it up. My character had an tankard in his hand and a scimitar in the other. Naturally, having two-weapon fighting, I wanted...

::giggles like a school girl:: I just saw on the Sci Fi Channel that they're bringing back Farscape...not just reruns but the show! WEEEEeeeeeeeee! :waits patiently for October::

One of my players recently (and skillfully) twisted something I've been saying for quite some time. My belief that not all assassins are pure evil and sometimes it is necessary to 'off' someone. Let's face it, there are NPCs out there just dying to step up to the point of your blade. You...

My husband and I had a brief discussion on how fast leveling up should happen. He says it should take 13 encounters at the CR level of a four character group. I think that's a little too long to wait to level up. I always thought you should level up between 5-6 good sessions with an even mix...

Okay, my question is: Where's the balance? In all the online games I have ever played in, he who posts their character's thoughts/actions/etc. gets a little xp for doing so. Almost similar to RPing in the game itself. The posting not only gives the insight of the character's views but can...

I rarely have to buy my fantasy books as my father is an avid reader (retirement does that) and he passes them down to me. So we get this book from him and look it over. It's called A Rumor of Dragons set in the Dragonlance setting. Interesting ::leafs through a few pages:: Wait a minute...

A recent discussion came up amoungst online buddies of mine on how party treasure is divided between players. They are in a game I choose not to participate in (trying to limit myself to two games a week) and some of the other player's suggestions threw them for a loop. For example, one...

Okay, I have this person in the game I run who comes up with custom items all the time. The last character he played created lots of new arsenal out of the plants etc in the area. Not a problem on my end on this considering he had the required skills and they were a decent level (around 6-8 at...

Currently I am down to one game a week. I love the game and I play my favorite character (3E/3.5E wise). However, I was a little shocked to find out another player's XPs are very near perhaps more than mine. Why am I upset? Let me count the ways......... I am an active roleplayer at all times...

A recent 'problem' has reared its ugly head in a FR gme I currently play in online. With all the possibilities of a 3E rogue, I couldn't resist playing one especially in the FR setting. After all, the thieves of 2E were my favorite class in those long forgotten days so why not try 3E but with...
