Very recently, Scott Kelton, owner of The Game Escape in Crystal Lake, IL, passed away suddenly. He will be missed. If you were involved in any activities at the store, they are probably on hold. (Paint night, scheduled for tomorrow, is cancelled.) I haven't heard anything about what's going...

Just wondering if there are any published rules on using shrink item on ammo -- and how un-shrinking that ammo works (i.e., when does it happen, how long does it take to happen), and the effects thereof (i.e., the 1/2" wide broadhead arrow in your chest becomes 8" wide, resulting in...?). Link...

This came up a couple of game nights ago, and I keep thinking about it... There was a series pilot that ran as a 2-hour (or so) movie, sometime between 79 and 84. It was a fantasy story, with the hero traipsing all over the place looking for something. The hero ends up with this bow with a huge...

Here's da blurb for "Magic of Incarnum", reportedly just off to the printers, for September release: This supplement introduces a magical substance called incarnum into the D&D game. With this book, the players characters can meld incarnum—the power of souls living, dead, and unborn—into...

Awright, I saw it earlier today, and now I can't find it. Can't even remember the exact name of it. It's something like Racial Weapon Proficiency. It allows you to treat all exotic weapons with your race's name in the title as martial weapons. Where is this feat listed? thanks in advance...

As I sit at the computer, I look around and see dang near half of our frequently-used d20 books in various backpacks. When my husband DMs, we play at someone else's house. Since he tries for a game with multiple potential subplots, and the characters might go in any one of a number of...

We're looking for 1-2 players for a game in Batavia on alternating Saturdays. The game is currently an Eberron-like setting, with a bit of tech and stuff from the Iron Kingdoms being pulled in, plus a couple of ideas from Oathbound, and other possibilities as well. (Ping me for more info... I...

I've heard of a magic item pricing system where the item price is based on the spells needed to create the item. I wasn't interested at the time, so I've no idea about title or author of the book. Anyone got source info?

I seem to remember a magic item that was essentially a quill that would draw/paint a (non-magical) copy of whatever you saw onto whatever parchment/vellum/etc. you provided. I think this might be a 2nd-ed item, 'cause I've looked where I thought it should be and am not finding it. Does this...

If a character takes a bloodline that lists a spell... and the character has no spellcasting ability otherwise... what's the caster level for the spell? What stat do you use to calculate DC?

How do you figure out the max. skill ranks a character can have in a class when said character is multi-classed with a prestige class or two? Example: The character in question has two core classes with some overlapping skills, and a prestige class. The prestige class skills overlap somewhat...

Does anyone know if an epic progression has been done for the ninja spy from OA? This is just continuing the sneak attack pattern: Level Special_1 Acrobatics Slow fall Other 1 Exotic wpn -- -- 2 2 Sneak atk -- 20' 1...

After various discussions, I've come to the realization that what I really want is Shadowrun d20. Does anyone know if anyone is working on such a product or something similar? If anyone's tried running a combination of games to simulate Shadowrun d20, I'd love to hear which games you used and...

I've been looking at Spycraft & Shadowforce Archer. One thing I can't tell from the descriptions of Shadowforce Archer on the AEG site: does it require the main Spycraft book to be usable? How interconnected are the two games? What's the magic like in SA? Could you incorporate psi stuff...

I was looking at stuff in the Arms & Equipment Guide the other day, and realized it's a 3.0 book. Are there any 3.5 updates that have been published for this?

I'm wondering if there's an equivalent of the Mystic Theurge for spontaneous spellcasters -- specifically, something like a Favored Soul/Battle Sorcerer combo. If not, what would you give for hit dice, BAB, and saves if you took the Mystic Theurge and specified spontaneous casting? It removes...

What, exactly, gives something "first-edition feel"? What qualities do you look for before you describe a module, setting, or whatever as having "first edition feel"? What about "second-edition feel"? Or "third-edition feel"? What are the characteristics of each of these? I ask because I'm...

We're looking for a "far future, with magic" game. "Magic" in this case can mean spells, powers, psi, or whatever. We are considering Farscape d20, Star Wars d20, and a non-d20 system. What other systems are out there, d20-wise? What system -- or combination of systems -- would you use?
