Sure, as long as you dont mind hearing certain phrases at the table like: "my ass is going to deliver a touch attack" "I'm scrying on my ass" or "I will communicate with my ass to scout ahead" :)

A question for DMs and Players alike: What are the "intangables" that makes one D&D session superior to another? In other words, what is done in your gaming sessions by the DM or players that add that extra bit of colour to it all? candles? a certain attitude assumed by the DM? a sense of...

I am a PhD student in Edinburgh Scotland. Being an American here is difficult, but worth the effort to experience British culture. The negs are there (bad food, cost of living is way too expensive, living conditions are not as nice, etc.) but the positives do outweigh them. There is not an...

I have DMed for nearly 20 years. I have seen groups of players really gel together, working in harmony to overcome great obstacles and evil in D&D. I have also seen the group, as it changes dynamic with the addition of a new player, become less cohesive. Usually my approach as a DM is to sit...

One of my players has requested to craft a magic ring in 3E D&D. He is an 11th level sorcerer, and wishes to make a ring that would have the following attributes: -detect magic on command -identify 4 times daily -Spell Craft Bonus +25 According to the DMs guide, the formula for calculating this...

Kill them, kill them swiftly and with no hesitation. And then butter your bread with their bones!

Let me just state that I am not making a joke. That would be in very poor taste indeed. I was on the phone to a friend of mine who live in Wis. and he told me that he had read the name Gary Gygax in an obituary collumn in the newspaper. I live in Edinburg now, and unable to confirm this, so I am...

I was shocked to recieve a phone call from a friend of mine living in Wisconsin informing me that Gary Gygax died of a heart attack early this morning. Does anyone have any information on this? Title edited from "Gary Gyxax dead" by Piratecat.

Stoneskin! LOL :) I sure wasn't expecting to see that one!!! I would imagine few Druid spells would make it on the list... but you never know. For me: True Resurrection (think of the possibilities!!!) Greater Scrying (Osama would have been toasted by now) LIghtning Bolt (always wanted this...

This may appeal to the more magically inclined among us: If you--yes you yourself, not your PC-- were able to cast any of the spells in the PHB for REAL, which one would it be?

I couldn't disagree more about products. I don't look to the books themselves to "entertain" me as a DM so much as I measure their potential to ENTERTAIN THE PLAYERS during our actual gaming session. To this end, I require the aid of others whose creativity I can utilize and build on. Having...

The answer to the question: "how many D&D books do we really need" depends entirely on the amount of mental space that one is willing to give for this game. Most people do not have the creative capacities to bring a richness to their role playing that these books, and the ones continuing to come...

Your children are named: Gary, Steve, Lora, Traci, Ed, Bruce, and Raistlin. Your pets are: Gwynavere and Bill.

You refer to what goes on at church as "priestcraft." You make an "attack of opportunity" at the dinner table when others are praying.

You "cast spells" when no one else is around. Come on, admit it...you've done it!

You find yourslef assigning alignemnts to your friends and co-workers...

You find yourself, when in situations of moral uncertainty, asking youself: "What would Pelor do?"

You sit and watch interpreters for the deaf and imagine they are casting spells. FIREBALL!

I am curious what might come out of a thread that begins... YOU KNOW YOU HAVE BEEN PLAYING TOO MUCH D&D 3E WHEN...

It is interesting to me that the villans in older movies...you knew they were REALLY evil if they were homosexuals (the gross fat floating guy in Dune, the general in Sparticus, Rocky Horror, etc.) - playing on the culturally driven fear of the "abnormal" as horrific. There is a book coming out...
