    Sad day for Milwaukee gamers: Napoleon's is closing (merged)

    Sad day for Milwaukee gamers (and others...) http://www.jsonline.com/enter/gen/feb05/300289.asp :( Looks like a Milwaukee landmark is closing its doors within the next month. I've been visiting Napoleon's since I started gaming (I learned about D&D there) back in the early 80s... I know...

    Help with sea encounter

    Hi all, I'm trying to set up an encounter that will occur when the PCs are travelling on a ship to a city on a different continent. I'd like to have something cool happen to them while they're on the ship. I figure my options are: 1. Kraken-like sea monster attack 2. Dragon attack from above...

    Why would anyone become a lich?

    You're assuming that someone who is completely power-hungry and willing to become undead would be making rational choices and looking at the future with these petty things in mind. I think all that matters to them is the 'living forever', and the unbridled pursuit of knowledge/power. I really...

    Statue and Stoneskin?

    My thought was that he could be have statue on him and still act every round. I was assuming that the 'statue' form and the harness of 8 would decrease the chance of him taking damage each round when it's not his turn... From what Henrix is saying, perhaps I'm not thinking of how to use this...

    Statue and Stoneskin?

    Hi all, I have a question about the spells Statue and Stoneskin. I'm pitting the PCs against a lich who happens to have both of these spells. What happens when he has both cast on him and he turns into a statue? Does the 10/adamantine still apply? If so, and he's hit for 20 points of...

    Help with Big Fight!

    Thanks for the replies, everyone! That's pretty much it exactly. Basically, the PCs are in the service of a Lord, and acting as his champions. They're going up against their Lord's arch-rival's champions in a tourney melee. Therefore, I want them to be basically equally matched. I was...

    Help with Big Fight!

    Hi all, I'm currently running a homebrew campaign and we're nearing one of the climactic battles of the current scenario. We should be there in a week or two... Problem is, I'm not sure how hard to make this fight. Here's the setup: It will be a gladatorial type combat, so the PCs know...

    World's Largest Dungeon in actual play [Spoilers!]

    Great idea! Also, I don't know how many forums you can have, but maybe a monster/ideas/changes forum for each region (Region A Ideas, Region B Ideas, etc.) would make things easier to find and organize. Of course, I should probably be giving this idea in those forums... :heh:

    Thanks for the quick response. Oh well, I guess I'll just have to do some real work (and keep lurking the boards) for the rest of the day... :D

    World's Largest Dungeon in actual play [Spoilers!]

    Nope, I'm DMing it (or preparing to) myself. Seeing as how I'm the only one in my group who's actually READ all the books. :\ Good to know there are other D&Ders in Milwaukee, though. I thought I was a dying breed...

    Normally I write firmware, but now I'm stuck doing documentation... I figure as long as I have Word open, it might as well be something interesting.... ;)
