AGREED! Trillian is so much better than the individuals on so many fronts. But, for the gaming as for gaming? IRC me baby. ~Mezaron the Red Defender of the...
So it's the monsters you don't like, not the new mechanics? Do tell me more of this. I'm intrigued. ... __________________________________ Yahoo! Mail - PC...
Hi all-- Since we have more details than we did a few days ago I wanted to send them out to everyone. For one, we are definitely getting the adventure and...
What he said. When I want to throw a monster into the local ecology, I want to do it the way I deem appropriate, and anything they would have written in the...
Well no, not really. The Monsters are basically the same, with a few cardboard cutouts different here and there. The images are one of the major things I...
Hear hear! I agree, if you're gonna put monsters into a game, its best that they kinda be like NPCs and be able to think and do things for themselves and not ...
I definatly agree monsters have different approaches each to there own. A dragon does not think like a zombie, or like an Elf. I lich would have a very...
About the whole monster thing... In 2nd edition they had charts for what sort of creature you'd encounter in certain terrains and they made it clear that some ...
Let's further this debate, shall we? I've just had this discussion in an IM with one of my Shaar players, since our game just closed for this week. Turn with...
Not to mention the fact that you can look at the nice pictures in 2ed, and it will spark your mind to come up with even more nasties and beasties to use in...
Very well said hon, I couldn't agree more. One thing I'm HORRIBLE at is explanations. I always have been. That is a good description, and it reflects my...
Look at all the templates in my MM3.5. Now I can add levels, races and other interesting things to just about every kind of monster. If I want to make a ...
I must agree. I decided a long time ago that if I were ever to become a DM in 3e, I would need to buy all the 3e MM to get "up to date" (if you will) ...
come on people. if you toss out monsters cause they don't have enough stuff written on them you have no right to DM. i pity your poor players. hell, creating...
Very good point Sam. I play DnD with five pretty savy players who have been around the block a few times. While they do a very good job of not meta-gaming, I...
I see bitching about different editions is alive and well. He was trying to make the point that 2nd ed. you DO have to use your Imagination In order to have...
I would like to point out that not everyone on this list is necessarily American, or even North/South American. It might not seem like an important distinction...
Imagination and RolePlaying RULE!! Isnt that what its all about when you REALLY get down to it? So what if you use 2nd or 3rd or mix the two, as long as it...
Chuckles. I see. So, if I understand you right, you say that you as a DM and your players have played a lot. Lovely for you. I have played quite a bit...
What you're describing here is bad GMing. It has nothing to do with the ruleset. If CR 20 random monsters are plaguing the road, they do so at all times, not...
I'd just like to interject here if you don't mind, and even if you did - this happens to be my group and I'll say my piece regardless of what anyone else...
No, there is nothing wrong with being a "plain old fighter". Prestige classes, in some cases, end up being a "trap" for the power-gamer, I find. Many...
I can see your point of view, but what I liked most about the 2e monsters is that it had templates, and it had what I would call example bosses. In 2e you can...
I'm not flaming 2nd ed. or anyone who uses it. I just think that to complain that the MM doesn't tell you what to do is a poor way to criticize it. ... ...
Edition debate: "feel" I agree that 3.X has a very different "feel" from 2nd edition. Oddly, Hackmaster "feels" more like 2nd edition. I am also unable to...
In many cases, I think people under-estimate the power of the PHB classes. A 20th level fighter has such a huge array of feats that they can cope with just...
... On an unrelated note, one of the things that really helps me bring a character "together" is working out their level advancement from level 1 to 20, or at...
