    What if Japan was a D&D nation?

    Hah! The answer is so clear now! :D Though in seriousness, I'm not sure. So far it almost seems like the goblinoids are simply replacing humans. A race to match the Land of the Rising Sun huh. You need to think of what the players will be doing when they visit the island and how they are going...

    Starting at 1st level with a higher group

    A small thing to remeber is that the low level fellow needs to count as involved enough to get his exp. I think it could be fairly fun still, with a bit of luck regarding situations. I've actually done something like this though, and it was a lot of fun. In my game, the PCs ended up finding out...

    Minor Magic Items

    Time Stone/Disc - A small round disc three inches in diameter and an inch deep, typicaly made of stone or metal. With engravings set around its perimeter, which mark the hours. The engraveings glow to indicate the time. Mid price mundane item, popular with merchants and middle classes, as well...

    Classifying undead

    Afriad I can't help with the thread, but I've had thoughts about classifying undead that I've never been able to quite pin down. They're prety much like 'evil constructs'. If an undead is an animated corpse useing negative energy, then what happens if you use negative energy for any other golem...

    Frank's Advanced monsters

    Nasty critter. Does it have a racial bonus on damage against letuces? :) Question, about the acid. Does that mean an automatic successful sunder on all worn gear? Because thats pretty scary. All straps would be disolved ruining nearly any type of armour instantly. Then again, it is a big beast.

    Eberron: no sexism

    Rare, but they did exist. Japan used females in its armys I belive, typicaly weilding bows and spears. Sure there are others. But yes, female fighters are less likely, but of course in fantasy that doesn't matter. All depends on whether the game world/players want that little streak of...

    The End of the World? How would you do it?

    :D I've gota try something like that some day.

    The End of the World? How would you do it?

    Hmm, tricky. I can imagine a pretty intense scene. What the players are doing in this I can't think of right now. If I was going to do something like that, I think I'd give signs of the other planes falling apart first. Fire clashing with water, earth cracking apart with enourmous voids, and...

    Sell me on fey!

    Demons? They destroy stuff. You don't need a reason to fight them, and they like to pop over any time for some havoc. Easy Devils? They plot to destroy stuff. They make for good adventures and mix well with the cult types. Yup. Angels and such? Don't get to see em much. Cool, but never known...

    Are Small creatures at a disadvantage in battle?

    The lower speed is what puts off my players I think. They want to out manuever things and jump gaps and stuff. In one game I had two rogue PCs, same level, a halfing and a goblin. The halfing player found it really irritateing that he was always left in the dust of the goblins 30ft spd. They...

    You can run. But you cannot hide! About DMing, ideas?...Münster guys: STAY OUT!!!

    Since burning the house sounds like an obvious way to disperse and disorganise the defenders, I'll go totaly first level here and sugest some primitive old flameing arrows. One turn, even a pair of level one mooks (the shadows must have plently of low rank foot pads) can hit a house from a nice...

    Creative uses for Illusion ("Image") spells

    These ideas are great. I can't think of anymore good ideas over these right now, so I'll add this. The most mature use of magic ever concieved. Use Ghost Sound to make other people seem to fart or other such noises. Great fun for all the party, whether with the locals in the tavern, or the...

    Partial Saves for Poison...

    I've been bugged by that too. I wouldn't mind seeing a whole rework of it really, but that idea sounds kinda interesting. I ran a test once to see how a bunch of cats fared with being hit by various poisens (On paper of course! :uhoh: ). They held out far too well considering what they were...

    Curses, Foiled Again!

    Not quite cursed, but my 'Jester's Deck' fits into games in a similar way to many quirky cursed items. The random curse list was a great help in thinking up the generaly un wanted black cards. Its basicly a milder and more managable Deck of many things, with a full 52 cards, red being generaly...

    Ever had a player in your group throw a tantrum or worse? Most uncomfortable moment?

    Well, no tantrums that come to mind, but as for most uncomfortable in a slightly diferent way and just too good not to share... About a year back now. The game was going fine, my brother being the DM for the first time and doing surprisingly well. Everyone was haveing fun. That was untill an...
