I'd like advice in finding, or writing from scratch, an adventure for a solo 1st level wizard. To be clear, I don't feel I need advice how to run a solo adventure, as I've run a number of them over the years--that's not the point of this thread. My cousin would like to play an Elf Wizard. This...

Thank you for bringing this to our (collective) attention! I'll be backing this--it's a terrific concept.

It Came From the Stars. This seems very cool, but I don't have much hope it'll get funded in time. Possibly by getting a little spotlight shone upon it, interest will be garnered. (No, I have nothing to do with the author.) Just wanted to bring it to other people's attention, in case others...

Anyone interested in suggesting some DS mini-plots? For example: The heroes are hired by Arisphistaneles in the village of Altaruk to explore rumors of a small, ruined outpost from an earlier age that might contain a cache of weapons or even a fresh water oasis. The ruins are supposedly five...

As the title suggests, I'd like to see how YOU would create Holmes using 3.5 rules. My DM's pretty open with books, so any WotC splat book is fair game. Other source books may be used with DM's approval. This will be a 10th level character. My DM's setting is significantly low-magic, so...

I'm going to reskin my group's Paragon tier 4E heros into superheroes, a la JLA or the Avengers, spandex and all. I want to tackle Revenge of the Giants replacing Argent, the city from the adventure, with Asgard....post-Ragnarok. All the Asgardians are dead or wandering the planes (resolving...

I'm brand-new to monster building, so be a little gentle with me here. I also don't have the mad r0><><0rz 1337 HTML skillz to put this up in a dope-fresh statblock format. I created this for a cheesy 1930's pulp setting and want to know if it seems good, bad, or just plain ugly. (Yes, I know...

Forgive me if 1) the answer is in the DMG, AV, PHB or whatever...I just can't find it, or 2) this has been brought up before. A scroll can be created that holds a ritual. Cool, fine. Why can't it hold a power? Say I want to create a scroll of sleep, based on the wizard daily power. Can I do...

So the DMG indicates that an elite is (in essence) "monster x2" and that a solo is "monster x5". It says they're "more powerful than a standard monster of that type". Aside from x2 (or x5) hit points, I see no other description or explanation as to how they're more powerful. Do they get to...

Looking for some shortish ("monster of the week" style, able to be completed in a few game sessions, a little more substantial than Side Quests) planar adventure ideas. Only requirements? That it fits in the new cosmology of the 4th ed planes, and that lower level characters (1st or 2nd) could...

The title says it all. What if he ran a D&D game? What would the themes and plots be concerned with? Where would the humor come in? And how many ultra-powerful, angsty teen female heroes would he have? ;) I specifically chose D&D because he's done sci fi and modern horror...fantasy seemed...

Looking at the Melee Basic Attack on p. 287 of the PHB: Hit = 1[W] + Strength modifier damage. Do I get to add my 1/2 level to damage too, like I can with the attack roll?

What would happen if you combined the coolest parts of True20 rules with the coolest parts of Star Wars Saga Edition rules? Is it even possible? What parts from each would YOU include? What parts would you discard? Discuss, theorize, opine and comment.

Alright, I'll concede: I need help. I'm looking for plot kernels, seeds, scraps, hints or snippets--whatever you'll give me--for a Star Wars: Rise of the Empire era game. Just some ideas to spark my imagination, or full-fledged adventures if you wanna post them. I have no idea what classes...

I posted this in House Rules, too...wasn't sure what category this falls under. ...So I was hasty and spontaneously made up a magic long bow, wielded by an NPC opponent, that my 4th level players got their hands on once they defeated him. The bow transforms standard arrows into "shadow arrows"...

So I was hasty and spontaneously made up a magic long bow, wielded by an NPC opponent, that my 4th level players got their hands on once they defeated him. The bow transforms standard arrows into "shadow arrows" (think the LOST smoke monster) that ignore armor and hits Touch AC. Once the arrow...

Before I ask my question, I'd like to be clear: this is a request to generate some ideas, not for lists of books and published adventures I likely already have. I've looked in CoCd20, Cthulhu Dark Ages, Heroes of Horror, the Freeport trilogy, most of my Chaosium/Pagan Publishing BRP Cthulhu...

I'm just looking to do some brainstorming, as I've created the bare bones of a setting but I'm a new-ish DM and feel like I'm barely treading water in the middle of a stormy ocean. Setting: .ALT post-Renaissance Europe, specifically France. The Industrial Revolution is in it's infancy--foetal...

I've been reading a lot of negativity about the Borrowed Time setting on other sites (well, more properly, feats--I could care less about the "setting" per se). I was thinking about introducing them into my D&D campaign, but I'm a new(-ish) DM and don't want to make more work for myself / make...

Hi. There are spoilers in here...you've been warned. I'm running Mad God's Key from Dungeon #114. I'm looking for help in order to leave clues--physical evidence--to lead my players to a specific location. Intrigued? Read on... We're at the "interlude" of the adventure where the players...
