    True20 / Blue Rose PbP Whose up for it?!

    Recently my girlfriend showed an interest in trying out Green Ronin Publishing's original Tabletop Adventure RPG, Blue Rose. Blue Rose won the Ennie Silver Award back in 2005 for best new ruleset. Blue Rose was hailed for its rules-light stripped down version of the d20 system, which Green Ronin...

    D&D 5E Next Playtest - How?

    So I signed up on WotC for the Next Playtest. And I know it's scheduled for sometime in May (15th if I'm not mistaken?) - but how does this happen? I know they said it would be available for you "at home so your regular group can test it" but what, are they going to ship us it free of charge...

    Weremouse Race Template Creation

    What's a Hengeyokai? I've never heard of it. I can look it up, but is there a sourcebook its in? And yes, Kynn, I saw that today. Isn't that strange that WotC posted a wererat theme 1 day after I started this thread? READING MY MIND :eek: And I'll make sure to remind the DM that Eberron has 12...

    Weremouse Race Template Creation

    Ok, yes I do see that a burrow speed of 6 squares is a little ludicrous, so maybe I'll make it 3 squares or just 2. He is a magical mouse, after all. Language: "Speak With Rodents"? Maybe he could have a racial daily power to summon a small swarm of mice and then he'd control that swarm...

    Weremouse Race Template Creation

    I don't have the changeling or dead rat deserter template info in front of me but I'm assuming the dead eat deserter power you're talking about allows the player to shapeshift into a rat (or in this case a mouse) instead of the changelings power which I know only allows shifting into...

    Weremouse Race Template Creation

    So one of my players is starting his own Eberron campaign soon and someone who is playing in it wants to be a weremouse. I'm looking for suggestions on how to create this homebrew race and how it would work mechanically in the game. Some of my initial thoughts were that instead of him turning...

    Fantastic Features to Spice up a Chase

    Thanks all - very good ideas across the board. I've mixed and matched what fits for my current campaign and just finished sketching out the skill challenge. I'll let you guys know how it went once I run it. B-) A great way that I've found to organize skill challenges is by description of...

    Fantastic Features to Spice up a Chase

    wow - what a great response. Thanks RG. I love the tent with ritualistic ceremonies for the wedding. I'm thinking since its a relatively provincial area, there could be some con-artist who does low-cost marriages (think Vegas) who gets totally PISSED when the PCs disrupt his already borderline...

    Non-DDI subscribers getting access to VT

    I DM with it - great for new players who aren't sure if they want to make a monetary commitment to an online software. Voice chat feature is great. Import abilities are a godsend. Only complaint, like EVERYONE else, is that you aren't allowed to use your own images for maps or tokens. If they...

    Fantastic Features to Spice up a Chase

    Recently listening to a podcast on critical hits about skill challenges, I was given a lightbulb above my head when I heard the interviewee mention an example of a boring skill challenge - crossing a rickety bridge, vs. its more fantastical counterpart - same said bridge is on fire and thePCs...

    Trouble With Encaging Spirits (Seeker)

    I knew it! Just didn't know how to prove it. I found it in the PH, thanks a bunch! :]

    Trouble With Encaging Spirits (Seeker)

    I'm sure one of you expert D&D players can answer this in a jiffy, but its been giving me real trouble and totally thwarting the monsters I've been throwing at my group. (Well, not totally, but it sure is annoying!) Mari, the Eladrin Seeker in the group, uses encaging spirits, a minor at-will...

    Regarding Knowledge Checks

    So when dishing out information regarding knowledge checks, just give the info to the character who is trained in that skill, as long as the DC Is moderate or lower. Not including situations under time constraints or when there's a real threat involved, in that case have everyone roll who wants...

    Poll: Type of Campaign You Play

    I'm only 21, been D&Ding since I was 12 but only recently have been able to DM a serious campaign (meaning, 5 players and I know how to actually play). Never have I run a campaign that lasted more than a few sessions but this was always because of players not myself. I expect my current game to...
