I’m going to start a campaign set in a large, lawless port city soon. I fully expect my PCs will try to obtain a ship fairly soon. They may own it, be crew, or hire it That’s up in the air. I would like to find any and all adventures, in most any system (I have Freeport and Goodman Games DCC...

We tried 5e, and could have gone on with it, but we stayed with 3.5e because as DM, I am inside out familiar. We don’t usually go above 10th level. I can and do convert 5e material, but that gets old. Anyone still producing 3.5e stuff? Not rules, classes or whatever, just adventures.

I'm planning a future campaign and it would entail the PCs being a scouting group for a large river-bound exploration group. The problem is that I foresee travel being slow - 15 or so miles per day on the river, maybe 10 miles once they finally are forced to leave the river. So weeks/months of...

In my last campaign in my homebrew campaign world (which is 40+ years old), the PCs rescued the main kingdom from being taken over by a lich and used as his "springboard" to conquer the world. Now I am contemplating a future campaign in said kingdom. The situation they left was that the Elder of...

What is the most balanced version of th artificer for 3.5?I am willing to look at 3rd party and homebrew as well as official stuff. This would be for a Drakkenheim campaign in 3.5, if it matters.

Is there a rule of thumb (or a list) for determining which undead are sunlight phobic? I mean, skeletons and zombies seem fine in the light of day, but what about wights, shadows, and such? Is it as easy as saying incorporeal undead all fear sunlight? But vampires are not incorporeal, so that...

I am running a campaign loosely modeled on ancient Egypt/Nuria Natal (Kobold Press setting). I am plotting a murder mystery set in a camel caravan in the desert. I need some “authentic color” to add to my plot. Can anyone suggest Npc descriptions, attitudes, activities, etc... that would be...

I’m experiencing a bit of creative block. In a more-or-less ancient egyptian-flavored world, I am creating two criminal gangs. One is a smuggling/drug running group, mostly run by the were-crocs and catfolk, though other races could easily be members. The other is a protection racket with a side...

Just as an exercise, because I've thought about it off and on for years, and have never quite wrapped my head around it, I would love some input on designing a "flat world" campaign setting. Here are my ideas so far: 1) the world has an ocean in the center, a ring of mountains on the...

Is there a particular place (here on EnWorld or elsewhere) that is particularly good for getting metaplot help/discussion? I have a thorny issue I'd love to discuss, but I rarely see such discussions here, and they rarely get more than a few responses...

In my current campaign, PCs came upon a ruined town (about 3-500 years old). In the course of riding through the ruins, they met a small party of goblins/ogres. In another spot in the ruins, not too far away, they heard something "digging". At the time, I had a randomish monster (antlions) in...

I will be running Sinister Secret of Saltmarsh for some newbies in a month. I would like to find a roster of NPC pictures to have on hand to hold up as a memory-jogger for these players, as we'll be playing 2.5 hour sessions once a week, and may change players week-to-week, as well. I need...

I have an old ruined wizard's tower marked on a map, and there's a good chance that my PCs will be in the area soon, so I need to have an idea of what is there. Setting: DnD 3.5e, party will be roughly 3-5th lvl. Bog-standard campaign, temperate wilderness. Background: 50 years ago humans...

Way back, I think I purchased, or at least read an exerpt of, a PDF that covered one or more humanoid races in specific detail, giving cultural info, maybe detailed versions of the race - like soldiers, leaders, priests, etc... I remember there were multiple different races, but I can't...

Are there any adventures/modules that have elvish cities in them? Or other published resources? I'm looking for something that is quintessentially elvish, not half/blended. I'll take maps, descriptions, NPCs, whatever...

I'm trying to decide what (non-dragon) mount a Stone Giant Druid would ride... this is 3.5e, but I really just want a few suggestions from ANY source; I can mock up stats if I turn out to need them. I thought of a roc, but that's really TOO big. And I really don't want to take 2-3 hours to...

What would make a stne giants’ castle special What would be different, besides the raw size, in a giants castle than a human castle? Ive never designed a giant lair before, so I am struggling for ideas.

IMC a PC rogue/ranger is marrying the head of the local thieve’s guild. This is not a secret, though most in the community “think” he is a merchant and labor organizer. Recently, his assistant has had time and room to begin taking over from him, due to his absence; he was kidnapped by evil...

Im designing the third of a trio of wizard towers, so getting slightly burned out on ideas. The backstory is that this wizard fell into evil ways, left his tower, betrayed his buddies, and joined an evil cult. The other wizards tried to stop the cult, were partially unsuccessful, fled back home...

Help me create a list of events that could happen in the wilderness - not combat encounters, but things that could happen that make travel more difficult, interesting, weird, or whatever. It would be nice to have ideas for what skills/how challenging they could be, as well. Things like: 1...
