    Adapting some feats from PF & SW Saga

    I've adapted these feats from other sources to fit the Trailblazer framework. Anything obvious I'm missing that would prevent these feats from working well, before I introduce them into my campaign? Bodyguard [Combat] Prerequisite: Combat Reflexes Benefit: When using Aid Defense, the...

    WotBS Questions & Commentary Upon Reading the WotBS 3.5 Hardback [LONG]

    I recently finished reading the main campaign, and decided to post my notes and questions, both to help other DMs, and to get help from them. Ranger Wickett, I'd appreciate your comments, but I would ESPECIALLY like for you to post the stats missing from Appendix A: the stats for the earring...

    Diashan

    In the WotBS 3.5 HB (page 53), it says, "Rescuing and healing him [i.e., Diashan] is likely beyond the powers of the heroes at this point, but when later he is freed, Diashan can provide full information of the Shahalesti plot to destroy Innenotdar." I've done a search of...

    The "Natural Spell" feat

    I understand that with 3.5 RAW, this feat can be unbalancing, with the druid being able to fill the fighter role while still being an awesome spellcaster. I notice that it's not included in Trailblazer, even though many other unchanged feats (like Armor Proficiency) are. But it's not listed...

    WotBS WotBS Soundtrack

    I'm going to be starting the (3.5) War of the Burning Sky campaign soon, and I'm looking for help for music recommendations. I'm not really a big music buff, but some of my players are, and I'm hoping to help immersion. I was thinking a good theme song for the campaign might be Dragonforce's...

    Modifying the Trailblazer Fighter

    First: I just picked up Trailblazer over the GM's Day Sale, and I'm really impressed! It's gotten me re-interested in 3.x roleplaying. Now, I like the Trailblazer Fighter, but I want a little more of the 4e fighter's ability to tank mixed in. Basically, I'm keeping the Trailblazer Fighter...

    Today My Bookcase Collapsed Under the Weight of My RPGs

    For real. I was just sitting there, and then suddenly, CRUNCHCRUMBLEBLAM! It was one of those cheap Wal-Mart particleboard bookcases, but had held up for over six months, so I thought it was good. It was completely full – it held my entire RPG collection, and only my RPG collection. I had...

    "Core" and Business Models

    By putting out a new PHB, MM, and DMG each year, and designating them "Core," WotC is attempting to move from a production-based economic model towards a (semi-)subscription-based economic model. This is a proven business model – ever heard of "planned obsolescence?" Companies don't just want...

    Drow War (Complete Series I-III)

    So, the review section is down, and I don't remember there being any reviews of Drow War III up at all. Has anyone gotten DW III? How is it? How does it handle epic-level characters? I only have DW I. If anyone has the entire trilogy, how does it function as a whole? How does it compare...

    Ruins of the Dragon Lord -- first impressions?

    I can't find any reviews of it. It's been a long time since I got a boxed set, and I'm wondering about: 1. Production quality. Good maps? Strong binding? 2. Game style. One long dungeon? Series of connected adventures? How does it stack up against, say, the Shackled City Adventure Path, WLD...

    [Slavelords of Cydonia] How badly do I need Grim Tales?

    I've been eyeing Slavelords of Cydonia. I like the new rush of 1-20 level campaigns, and this one looks good. How much do I need Grim Tales to run SoC? I've read the description, and I'm not really interested in it itself, but I'll get it if it makes SoC significantly easier to run. (That...

    Complete Arcane vs. CBoEM?

    I'm looking to get a crunchy arcane supplement for my campaign, primarily for providing more options for my players. Right now, I'm using Complete Warrior, Draconomicon, Artificer's Handbook, and Book of the Righteous. I do not own any of the 3.0 Books of Eldritch Might. I've read the reviews...

    Mongoose's Drow War?

    I just heard of this. Does anyone know anything about it besides what's posted on Mongoose's site? It sounds great. What else has Adrian Bott written? Thanks, Ragnar

    How well do skeletons swim?

    Because they don't have webbing between their fingers, and all that. Also, they don't float. I checked the MM and DMG, but couldn't find anything to suggest they couldn't swim just as easily as their flesh-enveloped counterparts. Maybe they just walk along the bottom, a la Pirates of the...

    Where's the best place to order Harbinger Minis?

    I was going to order some from Amazon, but it looks like they're back to charging retail price for them now. By "best," of course, I mean "cheapest without being shady." Where should I go? Ragnar

    What's wrong with current high-level mega-modules

    The problem with current high-level mega-modules (e.g., Necropolis, City of the Spider Queen) is that they are little more than dungeon crawls. Don't get me wrong, dungeon crawls have their place, but at high levels? At high levels (teens) I should be doing something A) high profile and B)...

    War of the Lance supplement

    It's coming out in 2004. Does anyone know anything about this? Is it a 3.5-update of the old DL series of modules, or is it mostly just world background for people wanting to roleplay during the time period? Thanks, Ragnar

    Epic (not epic-level) Campaign

    I'm looking for a good epic (i.e., long-term, save-the-world, interact with the same developed NPCs) campaign for D&D. I only know of three published so far: Necropolis Return the the Temple of Elemental Evil City of the Spider Queen Are there any others? How hard would it be to convert...
