What is the gold pieces in dungeons and dragons?

They're the generic form of money used by default; to simplify financial matters, it's assumed that every country is on a bimetallic (actually multimetallic) standard, that all coins are the same size and weight (this is not physically realistic, but then we're talking about a game where magic works and dragons exist), and that the exchange rate for various metals is fixed. A DM who really wanted to could change this to some more realistic economy, but most don't bother.

The exact exchange rates vary slightly between editions. The first edition had:

1 platinum piece = 5 gold pieces

1 gold piece = 2 electrum pieces

1 electrum piece = 10 silver pieces

1 silver piece = 10 copper pieces

This is rather unnecessarily complicated, and I think later editions have dropped the electrum piece and devalued gold by a factor of two so that 1pp = 10gp, 1gp = 10sp, 1sp = 10 cp.

One advantage of the system is that it doesn't really matter that the chest of gold you just found in the dungeon is a thousand years old: a gold piece is a gold piece (there's no such thing as inflation in Dungeons and Dragons), and in most campaigns, since it's the gold content that really matters, shopkeepers are just as happy to take any gold coin of the standard weight, no matter where or when it was minted.

What level does a 3.5 edition Monk gain the ability to teleport in Dungeons and Dragons?

A monk never gains a true teleport ability. However, at 12th level they may use Abundant Step once per day. This acts like a dimension door with a caster level equal to one half the monk's level.

Additionally, a monk can use Empty Body at 19th level. This allows the monk to become ethereal for one round per monk level per day. Using this a monk can "appear" to teleport.

How do you make a dungeons and dragons account?

Since Dungeons & Dragons is a tabletop role-playing game, I'm going to assume that you mean Turbine's Dungeons and Dragons Online (DDO).

In order to create a DDO account, visit the game's website. You'll want to press the "Play Free Now" button, or something akin to that. As of December 24, 2010, the button is on the right side of the screen, purple, and reads, "Ready to jump into the action? Play free now!".

If you're having trouble finding this button, try pressing "My Account" on the upper navigation bar.

After making an account, you will be directed to download the game (the "client"). In this case, you are given a program that will download the actual game for you. After downloading the game, you'll be directed to actually install it to your computer.

Finally, you can log in with your account, create your first character, and start questing! Good luck!

What is a good melee caster in dungeons and dragons?

Depends on what is meant by melee caster, but paladins and rangers both make good melee characters and cast spells, and cleric and druid can also stand on the front row a good deal, and they are full casters.

Did the Children get home in Dungeon and Dragons?

Assuming you're talking about the Dungeons & Dragons animated series, the answer is no. The series was canceled mid-way through its last season before the final episode, 'Requiem', could be put into production. The script for Requiem was later released and it ended with the characters receiving the choice to return home, but their decision was never revealed.

Is the game Dungeons and dragons still popular?

The current edition of Dungeons and Dragons has seen a recent resurge of popularity due mostly to an aggressive marketing campaign by the title owner, Wizards of the Coast, followed by strong content support both online and through continued title publication. While exact numbers are difficult to obtain, Wizards of the Coast has a reported annual sales of over 120 million dollars, though the company produces many titles of which Dungeons and Dragons is but one. Recent estimates indicate that more than 4 million Americans play Dungeons and Dragons.

It is worth noting, though, that the changes implemented in the 4th Edition of Dungeons and Dragons received mixed reviews among long-time players of the gaming system, with many claiming that the new rules system felt more like a video game than the role-playing game they'd grown used to. Many of those people switched to a rules system from Paizo Publishing called "Pathfinder", which was largely based on the "3.5" Dungeons and Dragons rules, with some improvements. Other gaming systems, more a throwback to the original Advanced Dungeons and Dragons rules, such as Castles and Crusades, also saw an increase in popularity as old-school gamers looked for rules systems that felt more comfortable to them.

As evidence of this growth in Pathfinder popularity: In 2010 at GenCon (the dominant RPG-heavy gaming conference), D&D had 431 events and Pathfinder had 169. In 2011, D&D's numbers were largely static at 455, but Pathfinder had increased dramatically to 276. Similarly, Wizards of the Coast's "presence" at GenCon has felt diminished over the past few years, while Paizo's has definitely increased.

Which dungeons and dragons sourcebook has drow characters?

Under elves-subraces, in the monster manual. The third edition book doesn't have a level adjustment, so you'll have to wing it. I'm pretty sure that they have a level adjustment in the 3.5 edition book, though.

What is d and d?

Dungeons & Dragons (abbreviated as D&D)[1] is a fantasy role-playing game (RPG) originally designed by Gary Gygax and Dave Arneson, and first published in 1974 by Tactical Studies Rules, Inc. (TSR). The game has been published by Wizards of the Coast since 1997. It was derived from miniature wargames with a variation of the Chainmail game serving as the initial rule system.[2] D&D's publication is widely regarded as the beginning of modern role-playing games and the role-playing game industry.[3]

D&D departs from traditional wargaming and assigns each player a specific character to play instead of a military formation. These characters embark upon imaginary adventures within a fantasy setting. A Dungeon Master serves as the game's referee and storyteller, while also maintaining the setting in which the adventures occur. The characters form a party that interacts with the setting's inhabitants (and each other). Together they solve dilemmas, engage in battles and gather treasure and knowledge.[3] In the process the characters earn experience points to become increasingly powerful over a series of sessions.

Is there any substitute for Dungeons and Dragons?

It all really depends what you mean by "substitute". Other similar RPGs, different RPGs, or computer games?

Some similar RPGs include: 'Pathfinder' (relatively new, by Paizo Games) and 'Castles and Crusades' (older than Pathfinder but still really new, by Troll Lord Games) are both games based off of first edition and 3.5 edition D&D (repsectively).

There is a whole slew of games that work similarly to D&D or have a similar setting; this could include: D20 Modern/Past/Futuristic, Gurps, Gamma World, or Whitewolf.

RPGs that work under a completely different system or setting could include: Paranoia, Carwars, All Flesh Must Be Eaten, Star Wars, and most 'underdog' roleplaying systems.

If you are looking for a computer game to play, a quick google search for RPGs will bring up a mass of results. World of Warcraft, Perfect World, Runescape, any of the Elder Scrolls series, and hundreds of others could all be potential D&D substitutes.
