We finished the adventure too this week and our last battle was also anti-climatic! We managed to push almost everyone down the hole, excluding the under-pries who jumped in realizing he was the last one standing. When we descended we faced the two skeletons, Kalarel, the underpriest and one...

I'm playing the pre-gen Dragonborn paladin from KoTS. We started playing before 4e came out and I had very little information on the Dragonborn. I play him as a proud holy warrior of Coaxoch, god of the Dragonborn. In my concept Dragonborn are a very closed society who don't mingle too well with...

Getting rid of full attacks? Did anyone try to get rid of full attacks in 3.5? Its one of the things which bothers my group the most. I want to take it out of the game, but it changes the balance of the game too much. One option I thought about (very initial thoughts) was to have full attack...

Our group (which I'm DMing) has won two rounds already and is facing Madtooth the Hungry tomorrow morning. They've just now managed to find the secret door in the wine cellar to the hidden cult area. So far it hasn't been easy for them, I tend to give them more than they can chew, and they did...

I own several Silven books, love them, sorry to see you close :( good luck in everything you do in the future!

The OOTS strips have been coming further and further apart recently. I'm a big fan and I read Rich's announcement about his medical condition and really wish him all the best! But(!) if I'll be brutally honest for a second, as time goes by and I don't get my regular fix of OOTS, my need for it...

I haven't downloaded the new battlemaps, but I did download some of the older ones. I think you're not compressing them enough, the maps are not highly detailed and presenting them as 2-7mb downloads is a bit excessive. You can definitely get the same visual quality in less than 1mb per map...

I'll try to be a bit more encounter specific (some spoilers!!) - Two Cliff Ogres (IH Bestiary) EL 5/6: good fight, not too easy but once the Ogres did the mistake of closing in they were doomed. If they would have stayed up on the cliffs, enjoying their ranged advantages they might have won...

I've looked through the revised edition, the revisions list and the FAQ and errata and could not find anything that indicates that additional tokens are not added to the DC. The DC calculation is still (DC 10 + half your berserker level + your Strength or Charisma modifier + tokens spent). How...

1. Taunt - An ability from the perform skill, forces your opponent to attack you with -2 for attacks and +1 damage (lasts 1+cha bonus rounds) 2. Revised - We've made all the corrections listed in the errata and FAQ 3. Character types - I wrote the classes in the first post, basically the armiger...

Last night we played the 2nd session of our Iron Heroes mini-campaign. The group consisted of three 5th level characters: A harrier/executioner, a berserker, and a man-at-arms/armiger. I started them last week on a DCC adventure 'The Scaly God' which is intended for 4th-6th level characters...

1. Exalted 2nd edition - amazing flavor, design, crunch, everything 2. Eberron campaign setting - my favorite campaign setting 3. Mutants&Masterminds 2nd edition - I'm hooked 4. Spycraft 2nd edition - Even though no one wants to play with me :( I still think its an amazing book with great well...

I also believe the core rules are all you need (At least at first). I do suggest picking up a copy or two of the Pocket Player's Guide. Its very cheap (~15$) and is a great resource for players, containing all the rules without the "boring" GM stuff :) . lior

I think these maps are OK and I would use them in my game, and I'll elaborate. When a DM runs an adventure with a map such as this, describing the areas the characters are going through should give the general feeling of the area. For example: "You walk through a twisting cavern, every few feet...

I also recommend to use an alternate spellcaster (if any) and not the Arcanist. We played a campaign with no spellcasters at all and were very happy with it. Surprisingly enough, the lack of spells, magical items and a multitude of sourcebooks kept the game much more dynamic. We had a lot more...

I nominate Ronin Arts, Phil J. Reed has been producing and writing excellent products!!

Thanks Owen, I've been a fan since 'Bastards&Bloodlines' :D

My group is going to sci-fi this summer, courtesy of Starwars SAGA edition. Just thought I'd ask the collective mind which adventures/modules/scenarios are worth converting and running for my players? I saw there are lots of mini scenarios on the Wizards site, but if they're like their D&D...

I was reading through my newly acquired Starwars SAGA edition and saw that if someone is surprised in combat then he's flat-footed in the surprise round, but is not considered flat-footed in the first round of combat, even if he's the last one to act. I've checked and it doesn't seem to be the...

Lately I've been feeling that I'm buying too much, luckily MerricB came along and reminded me that shopping is fun :) I recently "picked up" (shipped from the USA): * Dungeonscape - read good reviews and want to spice up my dungeons a bit * Frostburn - been wanting it for a long time * Magic...
