    I have Word/PDF docs of these entire story hours: Sepulchrave, Sagiro, Wulf Ratbane, Wizardru, Cntxt. Can I share them here?

    So I followed some of the best of the 'classic' story hours here back in the day (like, 2001 back in the day), and I started copying and pasting some of those into Word documents for easy offline reading. I kept it up as the stories progressed, and I now have the entire story hours of...

    Encumbrance & Strength Drain / Ray of Enfeeblement

    When a PC has their Str drained by Ray of Enfeeblement, how does that affect their movement? I know the rules for decreased movement (below), but what about max load? Table: Carrying Loads –—— Speed —–— Load Max Dex Check Penalty (30 ft.) (20 ft.) Run Medium +3 –3 20 ft. 15 ft. x4 Heavy...

    Chain Lightning, Spell Resistance and Improved Evasion

    1. What happens when the primary target of Chain Lightning has spell resistance, and the caster fails to penetrate it? Does the spell end there, or does the spell somehow play about the primary target's body and arc to secondary targets? 2. What happens when the primary target has Improved...

    Please help identify a book; the clue is The Ballad of Baby Boo

    In the summer of 1985, I read a science fiction book that contained a poem entitled, "The Ballad of Baby Boo". I cannot recall the title or author of the book, but it was a fictional work of a noirish sort. I have reprinted what I recall below. If you can help me identify the book, I will be...

    "Mundane" Magic Items

    I'm sure this question has been asked before: Does anyone know of any lists of "mundane" magic items, such as: Pouch of Endless Tobacco (produces fine tobacco 3/day) Everflowing Goblet of Wine (similar effect, but with wine) Serving Tray of the Gourmand (similar effect, but with food) Portable...

    How does a player go about starting a Wizard's Guild?

    My character is a 5th level Wizard / 6th level Planewalker (Horizon Walker adapted for arcane spellcasters) who plans to take Leadership soon and start his own Wizard's Guild. The only two existing Guilds are inaccessible, one due to an arcane sickness/curse that prevents him from traveling to...

    3.0 AoO Diagrams & Angramainyu's 3.0 Reference Sheet?

    Does anyone remember a set of .pdf documents that diagrammed the various 3.0 Attack of Opportunity scenarios? It seems to me that they were once available from this site to download, but, if so, they are no longer. Perhaps I was mistaken. Also, Angramainyu used to have a 3.0 reference sheet...

    Does Nondetection (3.0) prevent all forms of Scrying? Please help explain.

    The 3.0 Nondetection spell states that it prevents magic items like Crystal Balls from functioning, but it doesn’t mention the Scry spell itself. Does that mean the Nondetection automatically stops Crystal Balls and the like, but that it only stops the Scry spell if the caster level check fails...

    Help me make or find a Dawn of the Dead style campaign

    I am trying to create a new campaign - or at least a few adventures - based on the concept of Dawn of the Dead. After a strange event, the dead come back to life and all hell breaks loose. Do any adventures currently exist that use this idea? If so, please tell me! If not, please help me sketch...

    Is there a Revelry cleric domain?

    Has anyone ever encountered a Revelry domain for clerics? I play a half-orc cleric of Bacchus, the god of revelry, and would like to use the Revelry domain - but there isn't one. I've come up with some ideas for the domain spells, but I'd love to see if there's anything existing that already...

    Restrictions on Summon Monster Spells?

    When a wizard casts a Summon Monster spell, are they restricted in what they can summon by the alignment of the creature and their own alignment, or can they summon any dang thing they want? I'm sure this is not a new question, but I don't know the answer. If there is an official book ruling on...

    Bard in need of songs/jokes/spells

    I'm currently playing a halfling bard, and would love to amuse (read: torture) my group with some songs, jokes, spells, lore, etc. I've seen more than a few creative efforts from you creative folk before - perhaps you would care to offer some more here. Songs - Spoofs in particular, set to...

    How many D&D books do we really need?

    With all the debate about the recent Hasbro/WotC layoffs, I found myself wondering how many D&D books the market will actually support. When do we reach saturation? We already have the 3 core books, the Forgotten Realms, Deities & Demigods, the class books, the Epic Level Handbook, the Psionics...

    Online materials relating to medieval life?

    I'm looking for online resources that will give me a good feel for medieval life - people, culture, economy, government, infrastructure. Can you folks point me in the right direction?

    What are your favorite Sorceror spells?

    I'm designing a low-level sorceror. He'll be created using a sneaky-spy sort of model, meaning that he's more of an infiltrator than a direct combatant. I plan to give him a level of monk or thief to round him out somewhat, and he may add to that later, but sorceror is his primary class. Let's...

    Questions re: Spider Climb spell vs. Slippers of SC

    Couple of questions. First, the Spider Climb spell requires bare feet & hands; I assume that a Spider Climbing character therefore must use both hands & feet to travel on ceilings, etc. Does this mean a Spider Climbing character cannot cast spells or attack with a ranged weapon, since they need...

    Kingdom Management 101: Realm Construction & Expansion

    I'm trying to create a turn-based system for managing the kingdoms & cities in my home-grown campaign. Ideally, I'd like a system that I can use with any D&D campaign setting, one that meshes well with 3E but isn't too complicated. Specifically, I want to determine how much revenue a city takes...

    Master of Magic combined with D&D?!?

    Anyone ever play the Master of Magic computer game? Just like Master of Orion, except in a fantasy setting, with spells replacing technology. Ever since I read the Realms Management article in the latest Dragon (#293, I think), I've been interested in using some of these elements in a custom...

    How big is your campaign world? How many people? What type of terrain?

    I'm developing a home-grown campaign setting, and I'm curious to what the stats are for other folks' campaign worlds. If you don't mind, would you answer the following questions about your campaign setting? How big is your campaign setting in terms of the square miles of land masses? How many...
