    What should guard this bad guy's lair?

    Theme is definately key here. I like the ship wreck golem especially if he's got a spiked chain anchor flail. Have the golem smash through a wall of pipe that starts draining a cistern into the labrynth. the creates a sence or urgency through the impendig doom while at the same time forces...

    Best creative use of an obscure or "weak" spell?

    the red dragon dracolich cast protection from Cold. Our Wizard and Cleric spend the next three or so rounds trying to dispell it so we could hammer it with cold spells...... which it is immune to. I've never so pissed at myself for falling for a head fake like this. We all laughed. It was a...

    What's Your Favorite Fluff...Stuff?

    Delta Green is by far the best supplement put out for any game. the level of Detal and intricicy far outstrips any other book i have read. Runner ups would include: Pulp: -Hollow Earth Expedition -Pulp HERO -Trail of Cthulhu Sci Fi -Cthulhutech -Rifts Fantasy: -Eberron (the campaign setting...

    Worst role-playing experience?

    These stories, while amusing, aren't really what I was looking for. I want EPIC failure, like the DM that charmed a player's paladin and had him rape a commoner, in detail, creeping out the entire table and I think leading to the dissolution of the group because of repeated creepy incidents...

    Amen. CoC has Delta Green, which is the best supplement produced for any game anywhere.

    Alternatives to XP costs for spells

    I just had the spells take up more than one spell slot. 2-3 slots usually makes the players think about its usefullness v. the other spells that can fill those slots.

    Good Feat Choices For A Cleric

    Pretty much every caster i have run has taken extend spell at 3rd level. Shackled city does involve a lot of outsiders, so any way to bypass DR and SR is good too.

    Games you thought you'd like and hated and games you thought you'd hate and liked

    Colonial Gothic. I read the blurb on the back and it was about dark conspiracies and gothic horror behind the scenes during the revolutionary war. I thought fricken sweet. Wrong. 90% of the book is their system 12 degrees, with an extremely brief equipment list and tips for using classical...

    De-magicking D&D Adventures

    That is an insane amount of converting that some other game does right out of the box. Just look for pulp fantasy i.e sword & sorcerery.

    Can someone secretly record their bad gaming group?

    Not my group, thank god, but here you go. Worst Group Ever

    Best Character For A New Player?

    I think that the Warlock is good, but the Warmage is better. Especially in the the shackled city, a good blaster will go a long way. Think Keep on the Borderlands on crack. It's a meat grinder. The set spell list is easy to understand and seriously, who does not like to blow sh-t up?

    Once you go C&C, you never go back

    Well, I never got a chance to play the old modules like Keep on the Borderland, or Expedition to the Barrier Peaks. I never played D&D before 3rd Edition. But like my sig says, i am playing C&C. I figure this is the next best thing to playing ~30 years ago. And i can honestly say that this...

    Undead Hunter PRC: Good for Paladins?

    I would only reccomend this PrC if you run into Unded a lot. I would ask your GM if you will still be relevant in later adventures.

    Upcoming Warhammer 40K Roleplaying Book. Thoughts?

    Is there a sort of primer for WH40K. I get the basics of the game, but am unfamiliar with the ins and outs of the setting. I plan to buy the book, but i am affraid it will be presented with certain aspects expected to be understood.

    Castle & Crusades - who has tried it stuck with it?

    I just started playing and i jumped at the Bard class when i read a review and it said the the bard was more of a warior skald. So far so great, better HD and weaponry, but later on i get the abilities of a bard, not a skald. fascinate for one just doesn't fit my perception of the character...

    What classes did you play, which did you like?

    Spell casters are where it's always been at, for me. I can swing a sword, get pissed off, do martial arts, or sneak around in lots of genres. But fantasy is forcontrolling the forces of the universe and bending them to my will. That being said, the most fun i've had was when i had a good...
