I need some help with a puzzle for tonight's game, my d20 Warhammer campaign. The party of three are in the city of Middenheim, where they've been combating the machinations of evil Chaos cultists. In particualar, their main nemesis, a man called Lysaeus, fell to their blades recently, but they...

So, I'm running another session of a d20 game I DM tonight, in about an hours time. The game takes place in a huge mass of urban conglomeration, literally a city at the end of the multiverse - it's called Entropy, the Cities or the Thieves depending on who you asks, and is effectively a...

Greets all, I'm looking for misconceptions, ignorance-based opinions and superstitious beliefs about medicine and health from past ages (the medieval preferably, but earlier or later too is fine). I'm talking aboug things like the idea of the four humours (that you were ill because you had too...

Welcome to the second thread cataloguing the adventures of the players in Acrozatarim: Fire & Ice, an online game that I run on a message board. It's been over two years now since I started the first story hour relating the tales of their troubles and achievements, and with that thread having...

Every so often in the games I run, a player comes up with a particularly memorable quote or phrase, and I'm sure it happens to others too. One game I run is an online message board one, and so sometimes the players write real gems in their posts. The latest one, as the party are really getting...

Well, one of the characters in the d20 Warhammer game I've started up is a Tilean mercenary, using the Unfettered class as a base since he wants a kinda light fighter. Anyway, thing is, Tilean's are renowned for their skills with crossbows - but as is, in the D&D rules, there isn't really any...

I'm currently running a d20 campaign set in the world of Warhammer - I'm not using the WFRP system, instead a mish-mash of d20 system materials. The party are likely to end up in Middenheim before too long, and I've put thought into getting the Middenheim: City of Chaos book that was done for...

So, last night I ran a game set in the Warhammer world, where the band of level 1 PC's had to save a village from an undead assault, discovered that the reason behind the attacks was that a wight in a nearby barrow mound wanted something that had been stolen from him given back, and that a...

So, I'm thinking up character concepts for a new game - it's going to be 3e, and the DM uses a very odd stat generation system by which (IIRC), you roll 4d6 6 times to get a set of stats, then you do 5 more sets, then pick one, then assign the individual rolls of that set to abilities. So...

So, tomorrow, I'm going into the Forbidden Planet gaming store in Newcastle, with the vague idea of buying Arcana Unearthed. What else should I buy? What other must-haves are kicking around on the market at the moment? (Last thing I bought was A Magical Medieval Society, which I was...

So, I need to draw upon the lore of this community to help me! I need all the knowledge possible that you guys possess about the four humours (blood, phlegm, yello & black bile) and their place in medieval medicine. What characteristics do each inflict on a subject in which they are present in...

If theRuinedOne happens to come across this - don't read any further, you sneaky git :p Well, I'm concocting a little daemon for my Acrozatarim campaign to throw at the party during an upcoming fight. There'll be two fleshtwisted (biothaumaturgically upgraded to make 'em tougher, and...

So, tomorrow is the first session of a Midnight campaign I'm playing in, and I've put together my gnome channeller character :) Thing is, I'm now struck with indecision. Currently, he has access to Universal, Transmutation and Lesser Conjuration schools (couldn't pass up the opportunity for...

I'm currently creating a type of item which a character can take a feat to be able to kinda symbiotically bind with. As a result, he or she can then spend xp to improve it as if making a magic item - ie spending xp to improve a basic longsword of the type to +1 flaming, or somesuch. There is no...

Well, I'm starting a new d20 Modern campaign soon with any luck, set in the WH40K universe. Now, I'd like for there to be repercussions for opening fire with slug-throwing weapons onboard smaller spacecraft, like having a gunfight in the corridors of a merchant tradeship and seeing the bullets...

In a town near to where my dad lives, there's an Ottakar's bookstore (Ottakars is a chain of bookshops in Britain, don't know if they are also in other coutnries). Anyway, I stopped in since I know they have a small but good section of rpg products, and only by sheer willpower managed t6o avoid...

Gah, don't have my books on hand and I can't find it in the SRD :( Can anyone tell me what the starting wealth for 9th level PC's should be?

I'm genuinely heading towards this conclusion. When 3e first came out, I thought it was gonna be great with the new skill system, and indeed it was. Far better than the non-weapon proficiency system from before! But there was one thing I was disappointed by. I was hoping that the skill system...

I'm planning on getting AU, and the pdf's are an attractive option, but I know that the pdf's miss out some info from the print version. What info is missed out? I'm not too interested in the Diamond Throne setting itself, rather just the rules & suchlike, so I'm hoping its just DT fluff that's...

Was just listening to the 'Supermoves' track by Overseer from the new Matrix film, and was inspired to write this bit of a story for my Acrozatarim story hour campaign. This bit actually details something from ages back (over a millenia ago) in the history of the campaign world, something the...
