    What's the best that Monte Cook and Mearls have done so far?

    hi flumphs, I'm trying to take a gander of what Money Cookie and Mervel have done over the years and pick out the best that they've done so far. I don't have anything for Mervel at the top of my head. But Money Cookie I can say did the first Book of Vile Darkness that I always liked to take a...

    Weird weapons that should make a comeback

    flumphs, swords that look like candy canes, maces that seem like mazes... weapons that make us wonder what the hell they are. There out there, locked in dnd storage waiting to make us scratch our heads again. tentacle roll please... my choice of weirdo weapon is the Drow Tentacle Rod...

    Was Thac0 really that bad?

    flumphs, Thac0, the number you need to hit AC 0. Your opponent has an AC from 10 to -10. Subtract or add that AC to yer Thac0. Roll a dice and get that number or over and you win. That's not that evil is it? Why do people hate it so? I hope I remembered it right. foolish_mortals

    D&D 5E Companies you hope will be able to make 5e content

    flumphs, we all know that other game companies can do darn tootin good work. Damn good work. Some of you have some favorites out there, i just know it in my bones. I still come across stuff that I want to buy from the 3.x era. Say like that King Arthure supplement I haven't picked up yet...

    Best of the humourous art over the years

    hi flumphs, What's your favorite picture of fun dnd art you've seen over the years? I was looking at MM1 and I think I found the one I like the best: a Toad with a half swallowed character sticking out of his mouth. That was great! what's your snicker picture? foolish_mortals

    Should point buy be discouraged?

    flumphs, curious day yesterday, watched a guys review of Advanced Players Guide on youtube and he had a good observation: point buy for abilities lead to min maxing of characters. Which in turn leads to overpowered pcs. He stressed that you do point buy so everyone is treated fairly in the...

    imbalanced classes: the special preserve of the NPC?

    flumphs, When classes get devloped that are way beyond the norm in terms of power than an ordinary class is, should it not be allowed only for NPCs? I was musing about this over an old NPC class I saw in dragon where they said it really was only for NPCs. what do yer think, foolish_mortals

    Which edition will have the largest representation in the 5th rules?

    flumphs, If dnd 5th is going to be something entirely new but with pieces from each of the different editions/games in it, which do you edition do you think is going to dominate? I'm thinking it will be pieces of 2nd and 3rd that have the most in the 5th edition. They've lasted the longest...

    are blue and white illustrations horrible?

    guys, looking at some 2nd edition pages the other day. Saw some blue and white illustrations(like black and white, but blue and white instead). I never understood or liked that color combination. Anyone else think its a bad idea for doing monochrome illustrations? foolish_mortals

    bring back Decapitation!

    Bring back the ol sword of sharpness and the terrifying vorpal sword. Those were a hoot to have around. Cut off a monsters head on a role of a 19 or 20. What could be better then that? A great weapon, good as the fantastic holy avenger in the hands of a paladin. Or a trombone in the hands...

    Pathfinder 1E Pathfinder Lesson? Is one big honkin book intimidating?

    ok guys, I want people to think before they bought the 1rst Pathfinder book. Did they ever find it's length a negative in wanting to purchase it? For me who's planning on getting it in the future I have to buy it when there's time to digest it. That's why I thought about this, not slamming...

    Yer candidate for the monster on 5th MM1

    I'd probably do 2. A drow witch wrestling with a mindflayer that has some of it's tentacles on her head. Maybe a dead party on the ground in front of them. That'd get things started right. foolish_mortals

    Pathfinder 1E is a big Pathfinder surge on the way?

    I'm not sure how this is going to work out, if people are going to stop buying 4th edition and buy Pathfinder books until 5th comes out or not. I just took a peak at Amazon's top 100(and yes it can change rather quickly) and the top 20 had 10 Pathfinder products to 4th's 6 in there. I don't...

    D&D 5E Are you going to start at level 1 for your 5th Edition PCs?

    guys, just curious how many of you are going to start from level 1 in the game when they get it or are you going to start at a higher level? If I get the game and have a group I'd probably start at level 3 to 5. I always liked those levels bestest. foolish_mortals

    Are Spell Recharge potions(items) the answer to Vancian spell exhaustion?

    guys, I hear all the time that the Vancian system is bad because people run out of spells halfway through the module and need to have a good sleep to get them back. Maybe we can fix that by not getting rid of the system buy by offering a way for people to recharge their spells that they've...

    Should multiclassing be restricted by race?

    dudes, multiclassing, should it be an absolutely free experience? Should my dwarf be able to take the wizard class with a little bit of the singing dork class? Should my elf be able to be a barbarian and a dancing buffoon? In other words, things that don't seem to fit who the person is? Or...

    D&D 4E Did WOTC lie to 4e players about 5e?

    guys, I saw this video last night as I was going over people's reactions to the 5e announcement: D&D 5th Edition thoughts - YouTube I was kind of taken back by this persons assertion that he had been repeatedly told that 5e was not going to be a reality and that he should go ahead and spend...

    Should we get rid of demons and devils?

    guys, from the boobs thread I've become convinced that demons and devils need to be removed from the game. The thinking is simple: things that are controversial cause game sales to go down. We know from dnds history that there were satanic charges agains the game because of those nasty demons...

    Bring back the exposed boobs on the Monsters!

    It makes the game seem better to me to see naked demons that look like good looking women. That should make a comeback if they want to reroot the game. I know that the dnd name has migrated from rock and roll people to toy designers but there is still hope that we will see some of the more...

    Does PH(N), DM(N) and every class expansion book turn you off?

    book buyers, I'm just curious if there are people out there that would rather see more campaign stuff instead of these endless streams of player books coming out. I'm ok with player books coming out every once in awhile but having Martial Powers 3 and Spellcasters 6 makes my head spin. I...
