My first sketch in a year. I'm hoping my Muse has returned. I do have a few other ideas kicking around in my head at the moment. Sadly I no longer have access to the two Usenet newsgroups that I used to post my sketches on. Comcast in their infinite wisdom decided to drop usenet access...

Has anyone else house ruled the Soulknife as having a full BAB? I know I plan on doing so the next 3.5 game I run.

I have an idea for a modified Soulknife character. Instead of a Mindblade, he uses a Mindstaff. Two-handed weapon that has a single attack at 1st level. The standard Soulknife can use the Mindblade and a shield. My modification means no shield but he would get the 1.5 x damage increase for using...

I've often seen players take a skill in a useful Craft or Performance art. But I've rarely seen players (myself included) take a related Profession. Mostly I think because skill points are so precious. I had an idea today that might solve this. For every four Ranks a character has in a skill...

Is there a Shifter Paragon class?

If you wanted to play a human werebear from 1st level, what would be the best method? I was looking at the template on the Wizards site but it seems to miss the mark. I guess I'm looking for something like a Savage Species racial progression. Maybe something that starts as a simple human, nearly...

I love the quarterstaff. I’ve always considered it one of the iconic weapons in the fantasy genre. The simplicity, clean design and availability make it attractive. So cheap to make it’s basically free. Used by commoners, holy men and fighting monks in both Eastern and Western traditions. But my...

So, how does this look for a balanced LA? Morlocks In the final days of the Shadow War a group of Survivalists retreated to a local cave system in hopes of weathering the worst in safety. A nearby strike by a nuclear warhead however literally sealed their fate. The detonation triggered a...

My wife and I went to see Hancock last night. I wasn't expecting much. Every review I had read gave it very middle of the road ratings. But it is Will Smith and a super-hero movie. So I wanted to see it on a big screen. I was completely surprised. This is a very solid and quite enjoyable...

An "inside" look at 4E from LoadingReadyRun. http://loadingreadyrun.com/videos/view/332/inside_dampd_4th_edition

Some violent images. If this was the marketing being done in the US, the film wouldn't look nearly so lame. http://filmz.ru/pub/1/14256_1.htm

The Jump Gate store in Portsmouth NH is having their annual sale May 23rd - 25th. RPGs and Board Games will be 25% off. I thought New England members might want to know. Their new gaming book section is a bit limited but they do have a decent selection of used gaming books. That's where the...

Since the announcement of 4E, my interest in the WoTC boards has dropped like a stone. It wasn't an intentional decision mind you. I just find that I am no longer interested in them. And I used to visit them once or twice a day in the past. Has anyone else seen their interest fall off?

In D&D [3.5] bucklers are strapped to the forearm. I've never liked this as it runs counter to how a buckler is actually used. They are actually held in your off hand. They are a much more dynamic form of defense then the larger shields. Aiding the user in both disarming and grappling with an...

Is anyone else a fan of the After the Bomb (2001) game from Palladium? I'm rereading it for probably the twentieth time. It has the best mutant animal creation rules I've ever seen. Not terribly well balanced I admit. But just so darn cool. I can spend hours just playing with all of the...

I talked my wife into going to see a matinee of this today. Read no further if you wish to see the film without spoilers. OK. The movie is a visual feast. Chock full of images that will warm the cockles of any Post-Apocalyptic heart. This film will be welcomed fodder for...

It occurred to me last night at work that the Ranger would make a pretty good Whaler or general spear throwing hunter. To that end, does this sound balanced? Combat Style replacement: 2nd: Precise Shot 6th: Far Shot 11th: Improved Precise Shot Take your first favored enemy as Animal and you...

I'm playing with an idea for a new campaign. Making some modifications to the Sorcerer class: D6. I've done this since 3.0 came out. Free Eschew Material Components feat. I think it plays well into the idea that a Sorcerer *is* magic, rather than one that has studied magic. A free Minor...

How much heat does the Flame weapon enhancement produce? Could you, for example, use that heat alone as a survival tool? I can see several advantages to it over an actual fire: no smoke and it consumes no fuel. Does it consume oxygen? I can just see some fighter heating his dinner over his +1...
