I honestly think that shadzar, unable to address any of my points, is...wait, seriously...trying to say I'm wrong because I'm not linking from sites he wants me to link to. ...seriously. That's really incredible. PS: I already linked an image to this rulebook, but shadzar missed it, due to his poor ...

http://www.tsrinfo.net/archive/dd1/core2.jpg Hey buddy, here you go! More rules. At any rate, I love these conversations. At this point, for shadzar to not be auto-wrong, he has to argue that rules are not rules. I love that. Everything he says rests on the premise that rules are not rules. It's ab...

Hi shadzar! Check this out. I opened the first page of my 3.5 Player's Handbook. So the page says "Dungeons & Dragons" at the top. It's got a cool sword, and the "&" symbol looks like a dragon. Cool! Right underneath that, it says "Player's Handbook." Right unde...

I don't play much D&D any more, unfortunately, but Gencon reminded me that fbmf is a cool fella, and this place is the bee's knees. If I don't post at least occasionally, someone should yell at me.

Traps

What do YOU think? Have you ever surprised any of your players with a well-placed trap before? Also, do you favor subtle or obvious traps? I personally prefer to leave at least some clues to the nature of a trap in any game that I run, so players don't need to constantly check for them. I feel that ...

Re: GenCon report

I recall getting pretty cranky about that. Zherog was actually making illegal plays to jack me over. Quite annoying.

P.S. I think the Wild Turkey added to my crankiness.

Now, that isn't to say that when we write the paladin that he isn't going to get atonement as a spell-like ability at first level. Because, hey, I don't think you can even do real Good if you can't do that. But it does mean that we're probably going to be holding out on the Tome of Virtue until the...
