Hey all, This weekend I finally got my PCs together and got them heading into a dungeon they tried to get into last session but had to run away from due to injuries sustained in a crossbow ambush. As they were decending a stairway, I noticed that there were supposed to be two green slimes...

Yesterday there was a thread about player sleeping positions, and how they influence personality type etc. I'm not sure how much the conclusions of that study fit in with my own life, but it did raise an issue that has implications for the game I'm running. What are the predominant sleeping...

Anybody out there remember the Mac game "Dungeon of Doom"? I really liked that game when I was 10. I'd like to get my hands on it for the PC. Does anybody know if a version exists? (I'd like to avoid emulators and such, if possible. They never seem to work right.) Thanks!

Hey, is it just me or could the wring wraiths in Lord of the Rings use the boys from "Queer Eye for the Straight Guy". I mean, c'mon. Flowing black robes, faceless cowls. Aren't these guys just slightly larger Jawas? When was "Star Wars", 1979 or something? Seriously, though. Why do they need...

I was wondering if anyone out there knew of a strategic-level First World War game. Freeware would be nice, of course, but any game will do. I am unable to find any on the web. It may be that game designers have eschewed trench warfare to the more mobile WWII strategies, but in reading about...

Last night I finally got to the DMG 3.5 discussion of planar cosmology and I couldn't help but wonder a few things... Why are several planes taken up by unwinnable, endless battles between good and evil? If the battles can never be won, why are good and evil still fighting? Especially in that...

I hate to be so self-indulgent, but I can't contain myself. I have just managed to acquire (by trading away 7 Nova "Lost Worlds" books) a copy of the original Avalon Hill game: Titan, the Monster Fantasy Slugathon Wargame I love the Kinzia card game "Titan" that came out a few years ago...

Hey all, Lately I've been realizing that as my D&D group has gone from 3 players to 5 players, we spend much less time actually playing the game than trying to find a time when we can all meet and play. We are all married and gainfully employed, but our "every other week" game plan tends to...

For several weeks now I have been contemplating what appears to be a statistical paradox. Since my highest math skills consist of discretely copying Brian C.'s answers over his shoulder in Algebra class some yeas ago, I thought I would pose my muse to the board and see if one of you can answer...

Hey all, I have recently been passed the DM baton and I want to outfit the previous DMs new character with an appropriate magical item as befits a 2nd level [gay] Elven Ranger. Any suggestions for rangerly items? This character will be slaying drow servants of Lloth. On the "neat but not...

As stated in earlier posts, I am converting the original Temple of Elemental Evil into 3.5. I need some suggestions as to motivations for my PCs involvement with the temple. So far I have the following: The Elven Ranger: will have tracked Lareth the Beautiful (a half-elven follower of Lloth) as...

Hey all, I was reading through my new 3.5 ediction PHB this weekend, generally feeling that the world was aright, happy with 99.9% of what I read when I came across an old, festering, pet peeve of mine which I thought I would share: Which power gamer down at WoTC got ahold of the Spiked Chain...

I was just reading the rules for multi-classing and I noticed that there are substantial penalties for multiclassing in the form of the cumulative 20% penalty for having too large of a discrepancy between your levels. The book mumbles some excuse about it being "difficult" to juggle the...

Hey All, Forgive me if you have all discussed this to death, but I've been out of the loop for the past several months. My questions are these: Is 3.5 really good enough to drop another $100 to re-buy the core rule books? If I only buy one 3.5 book initially, should I start with the PHB or...

[warning: spoiler for original Temple of Elemental Evil] Hey all, I'm going to lead my adventurers on a conversion of the original AD&D Temple of Elemental Evil. I got my conversion ready, read through the module, etc. But then I found the Zuggtmoy conversion and the skin on the back of my...

Quick, basic question: My character uses a spear with 10' reach. I was trying to figure out if he got an attack of opportunity with it every time the bad guys (with 5' reach) ran up to him. I recall seeing a chart once that implied that reach weapons do not attack adjacently to their wielders...

Hey all, Its been a long time since I've been on this board. Glad to see so many new and old faces. I recently found my original Temple of Elemental Evil module buried in my garage and I was wondering if anybody knew where I could find its conversion to 3E. I am surprised that I haven't found...
