I've been out of the loop for just about a year now, so busy that I couldn't play, and didn't have time to keep up with the web sites, blogs, and the community in general. It seems in that time that there has been a lot of growth and change, especially with the introduction of 4th edition? The...

I've been playing 3.5 for quite some time now, and I doubt I'll be switching to 4th, but after seeing the new offerings from Paizo and Monte, and with all the 3.5 "problems" I see people complain about, I am wondering if there is a thread, or blog, or article some where that has a definitive...

I haven't seen a thread about this yet, maybe no one cares. I haven't had a chance to read either yet (just DLed PF-RPG Alpha, and will likely buy BoEM soon), but for those who have read both (not sure how many of you there actually are) or at least _looked_ at both... 1. Is one of them better...

If this topic has already been covered, I would be much obliged if someone could point me in the right direction. if not... I am currently DMing the AoW adventure path, and though the PCs have not _really_ run afoul of the law yet, the _players_ have a habit of it in previous games, and it...

In the event that Scott, Bill, or Chris decide to come back and check on the board since the posting of their interview, I would like them to know how I feel in response. (To those of you sick of reading about this, rather than criticizing me for exercising my right to dissent, go read a...

I have stated (as have others) here and elsewhere how angry I am at WotC, and that I will no longer buy their products. I am more than willing to carry through with that (I've done it before with other companies/products) but while stewing about the issue I started thinking about all the posts...

I recently purchased Frostburn (an excellent book) and started running the adventure "Raiders of the Black Ice" by Wolfgang Baur in Dungeon #115. While doing so I noticed some discrepancies between the "lite" version of the rules in the adventure, and those in FB. I understand that sometimes...

Hey. I originally posted this is the D20 section, since I am asking about D20 resources, but it didn't seem to be getting much traffic, so I'm reposting it here as a plea for help with my D&D underwater campaign. I'm planning to create a new campaign world for my homebrew, based on sea travel...

Y'all, I'm planning to create a new campaign world for my homebrew, based on sea travel with the majority of adventuring done underwater. I already have The Seafarer's Handbook (Fantasy Flight Games) but I'm hoping you can all help me (and anyone else interested in this sort of campaign) with a...

I haven't actually done this to my PCs, but, if they were to shrink, how would you compensate, or recalculate CR/EL? What part of the CR calculation of a monster is its size? How does size affect a party's EL? Let's say you shrink the party to be smaller than a rat?

Okay, so apparently those of you living in Australia are having trouble with roving gangs of tough kangaroos. (http://www.cbc.ca/stories/2004/07/07/world/hungry_kangaroos040707 It got me to thinking about making real world animals that we don't usually think of as fearsome _more_ fearsome...

In my campaign world, the gods (D&D pantheon) are battling for control of one particular world, known as the "last world" because whomever controls it can bring back one of the two progenitor gods (good or evil). The gods themselves can not touch the world directly, and must work through their...

Well, I made a trip to my LFG/CS to pick up my free copy of the D&D comic, and one for my step-son. The artwork of this comic ranged from pretty bad to down right horrid. If the purpose of this comic was to a. introduce new players to the game, and b. to give them some basic instruction to the...

Should a mechanic be applied to PCs who are either trying to hide quietly (unmoving) or simply tring to stay quiet? I would argue that when you are trying to stay quiet while unmoving you still need to master things like the sound of your breathing, and metallic items (like clicking armour...

I'm sorry if this has been covered long before now, but I only just purchased the 3.5 PHB, and when I downloaded the most recent errata from WotC I was surprised to find it is only 1.5 pages. Is this right? Are there really only one and a half pages of errata for the 3.5 PHB? Is there a FAQ as...

In a recent session the heroes found themselves facing a beholder who flew up out of his pit lair. The beholder lost initiative, and one of the strong PCs preceded to jump onto and grapple the beholder. The players (some of whom also DM) argued that the beholder could not move without breaking...

Y'all, I need a little help tracking down a myth possibly from Ireland or Scotland. The son of a friend claims his teacher told his class a myth about a cursed stone of some sort (could be a jem, could be a rock) that brings bad luck to whomever possesses it. Apparently the only way to rid...
