Just wondering how many groups actually track rations throughout an adventure? I tend to only bother if it's going to be a problem for the PCs (long dungeon expiditions, sparse wildlife, etc). In general it seems to be a lot of work for not much gain otherwise...

I'm sure this has been posted before, so I apologize. In the past I've seen posts about buying some mini's in bulk, but I'm not having any luck finding any online. Does anyone have some links to a good place I can get some at a good price?

Hey guys, yesterday I bought a community supporter account, but I made a mistake. When I emailed Morrus, the first email I sent him indicated the wrong email - it wasn't the one that I have registered here. I am in the process of migrating to a new email address and had already moved this...

My D&D group is seeking some new members. We play mostly D&D, but sometimes mix in some other stuff, including non d20 based games. We meet on thursday nights from around 5 till about 10:30 - 11:00 on the east side at my house. Email if interested, or reply here. We game in Des Moines, Iowa...

A question to those of you who have run RttToEE. We all know that players need an abundance of clues (always more than you'd think they would need heh). Did it seem to you that there was a severe lack of clues for the PCs to find? How did they find out how to move from one area to the next...

I have a question about something that happened in a past game. I'll try to explain the situation so it makes sense. The paladin is in melee with a dire wolf and a barghest. Standing 5' away from the paladin is an evil cleric. The party rogue tumbles behind the cleric. On his next round...

A couple of months ago, I decided to convert my DM style to an electronic one. I am a Network Administrator by trade (that's right, one of those guys with all the goofy letters after my name in emails that 'arbitrarily' turns off servers for no reason while you all are trying to work :)). I'm...

That evil company is trying to suck me back in to Everquest! Argh. They have reactivated my account for free for 7 days, it seems like such a shame to waste it... Everquest takes sooo much time though *sigh* /rant over

Would it be possible to actually disbelieve in the existance of gods in a world such as a 'standard' D&D world, where the gods are real, and their influence can be seen everywhere? It would be interesting to come up with a character concept where the character refused to believe in gods, when...

Back when I ran 1st and 2nd ed AD&D, whenever a PC died, the player created a new PC at 1st level. In several of the groups I've also played in, this seemed to be the norm. The increasing XP requirements just after the mid levels tended to quickly close the gap between the characters, usually...

So I've heard some good things about George Martin, but I have to admit I'm not familiar with his work. Is it good, how would you describe it? If I want to read his stuff, where should I start?

So, I just finished reading Jim Butcher's Novels: (this page has a blurb on each one) http://www.iago.net/fanattic/dresden/ And I just want to say WOW, these novels were great. Present day, mixed with fantasy, magic, wizards, faeries, all wrapped around a mistery novel. Very compelling work...

One of my players is starting a Paladin in our campaign; he's never played one before. He has asked for advice on how to play the paladin, which I was happy to give. Personally, paladins are my favorite class. BUT, I don't want to jade him with only my views on some ideas for motivations, or...

My group recently tried an Epic campaign; we were able to play it for about 8 sessions (once a week). I thought I'd share my experience running the game. Overall it was a negative experience for me, but I'll try to be subjective. First off, I'll describe the campaign concept. We wanted to...

Sorry if this question has been posted in the past, I was unable to find any threads about this. If you know of any, please post links here. At any rate, I was thinking of trying to add some oomph to the spell casting in my game. What I'd like to do is get some 'mystic' or 'magical' words or...

Anyone have some interesting solutions to the ever resting party? I'm speaking of the party that rests more often than would seem prudent. Maybe not after EVERY fight, but lets just say we aren't talking 4-5 encounters between resting on a dungeon crawl. :D

OK, just to clear it up right away this PrC isn't mine. One of my players wrote it, I'm looking for feedback. It strikes me as a bit too powerful, but I can't put my finger on why. Feedback appreciated. :D SKIN SCRIBE (Rev 3/30/02) The skin scribe is an arcane spellcaster who specializes...

I thought this might be interesting to know. What's your typical game food? I have two groups, and the fare varies between the two heh. Group A Lots of pop Pizza Chinese KFC(Fried Chicken) mexican american grilled(on my grill :D - hamburgers/steak/and such) Chips Cookies (Last week we had...

OK, so I just got done reading my copy of Master's of the Wild. IMO the barbarian got fairly shafted, not so much feat-wise, but definately PC-wise. Are there any decent 'official' barbarian prestige classes out?

Ok, so I've figured out what they are. The question is, where did the term splat books come from?
