I've gotta be the world's worst DM. I can't ever remember rules, I never plan anything out, and I give way too much treasure. Yet, my players enjoy their games, the pacing is about right, the action flows, and there's just enough intrigue to keep the players guessing. Any advice on how to...

I'm looking for a template, preferably using a standard, i.e. found in the back of the PHB, character sheet, that I can simply type in the stats I want and it'll print out the NPC. I know that in the eary 3.0 books there was a CD-ROM that had something similar, but I've used it and found it way...

I've been trying to share my love of the hating of d02 with a friend, but I can't find the link. Does anybody know where I can get it?

I've been using the Epic section of the SRD for a campaign. One of the players in the group has a copy of the ELH which I use at the game, but when planning, I use the SRD. Tonight, one of my players asked me about adding enchantments to an existing weapon. The final product would be a weapon...

Heya Guyzos, I currently play in a group of 9 members. I co-DM. The other DM and I rotate running separate campaigns and we meet weekly, usually Sunday's. In Dave's campaign, we're nearing the end of RttoEE. After that we'll be starting a new campaign. With 8 players, combat takes forever...

Heya Guyzos, Over the last 6 sessions I've lost 4 characters. Always to crappy stuff, like failing a save by 1 when I neglected to cast bless, or getting critted by a gigantic spider whose poison deals 30 pts. of damage first round, 29 the second, 28 the third and so on when you have an AC of...

Hi, In January '05, I'm considering opening a gaming store in the Kansas City area. I've been the general manager for a restaurant for a while now, so I have management experience. However, I would not pre-suppose that experience in pizza making translates into being a small business owner...

Heya Guyzos, My girlfriend, playing a Druid, wants to take a Tiger as her animal companion. Unfortunately, she's 2 levels too low to qualify for it. I remember reading somewhere about a feat, Improved animal companion, that allowed you to select an animal companion as though you were two...

Due to a recent thread, I'm curious as to the general opinion of the Book of Vile Darkness. I'd post a poll, but I'm looking for a little more insight as to what you liked or didn't like about the book. Let the sparx fly, Sparxmith

How does personal messaging work? I cannot seem to PM anybody. Or does it take some sort of account other than the basic one to do it (i.e. be a Mod, or a paying member)? Thanx for the info, Sparxmith

My Girlfriend is a very meticulous roleplayer. She likes roleplaying for Roleplaying's sake. Unfortunately, she's not satisfied with her current character, and was asking me for ideas to make a new character. Currently, we're playing in the Forgotten Realms, using the Gestalt Characters...

I'm playing a druid/monk and want to know if I still get the Monk's speed bonus when I'm shapechanged into an eagle and flying. I was under the impression that I retain my monk abilities regardless of what form I'm in. Thanx for the help, Sparxmith

A couple of months ago, a small thread came up about the Vow of Poverty and Epic lvls. The main thrust of the post was that the Vow of Poverty lost is usefulness at epic levels because of the amount and power of epic level items. Here's my offering to correct the problem. I based it off the...

For those of you who don't know about this: http://www.illwillpress.com/vault.html Check it out! Be forwarned, he can be slightly offensive, but utterly funny. I'd reccomend you start with "Small, Medium, Large" and then move on to "5 minutes". From there move on to "Spell-a-casters", then...

Last gaming session, the groups rules lawyer brought up an argument about concentration. We play 3.5, and had been playing by the rule that if you are damaged in the turn that you cast a spell you had to make a concentration check 10 + spell level + damage dealt to be able to cast the spell...

It seems to me that Mr. Gary Gygax frequently comes up in conversation on a number of threads. There is always, it seems, at least one thread on the front page concerning Mr. Gygax, his views, or his health. My question is why? I don't know all the facts, but I'm under the impression that he...

For some reason, I thought that it was possible to deflect more arrows if you had combat reflexes. My group argued with me that I was wrong, and turning to the rule books, it appears that they were right. Now, I love monks, I usually play one when I'm a player. But, I was DM'ing last night...

Anybody know where I can find the Knight's of the Dinnertable Comics online? I googled, and got nothing.

Seven noble and mighty Adventurers were selected for a quest. Each of them received the following letter from a representative from the Elven Court of Evermeet. Dear Sir, Several centuries ago, the elven court of Myth Drannor was forced to abdicate and evacuate that fair city. Much of...

Last night I had the opportunity to DM with a new group. I had been playing as a character for about 3 months, and had DM'ed with other groups previously. None of the players had yet played a 3.x campaign above 10th level, and I looked forward to giving them the opportunity. Well, as is to...
