There has been a lot of discussion about inclusivity in fantasy art in general, and how the new version of D&D will incorporate it specifically. And a lot of folks have posted how NOT to do it :) Well, here's how to do it right: New Bios and Images Note that I am not saying that D&D should...

Today is Spirit Day. For those who don't know what this means, you can go here and check it out: GLAAD - Wear Purple on Oct. 20 for Spirit Day #SpiritDay Briefly, Spirit Day is a day where we reach out to support LGBT kids who are being bullied in schools and, in some tragic examples, driven...

I'm posting this for a friend of mine who is putting together a Pathfinder Eberron game. It's set at the university in Sharn and he wants to give some more flavor to the Universalist Wizard. I've seen several posts before on this subject: most of them involve granting more spells known and/or...

Hello all :) I have been mostly absent from gaming for the past year due to a horrible job (which I quit) and subsequent change of life-style (baby on the way!) I have _been_ gaming a bit, played around with the FATE rules some, did a bit of the World's Largest Dungeon.... But now that I am...

Hello all! I haven't been on these boards in some time, mostly due to law school and work and the bar exam and such. So hi to everyone! The other reason I haven't been around though is that yes, I've become burned out on third edition D&D. I loved it so very, very much for a long time. I...

Anyone here from Montana? I'm helping to run gaming at the Worldcon in Boston, Massachusetts this August. The following was sent to all the folks on program. So, if you are from Montana, come join the World Science Fiction convention, Noreascon 4! There will be gaming and lots of other fun...

So I just picked up this game on the PC. It is incredibly good and has actually gotten me to consider something that I had given up on, namely running a Star Wars table top game again. The system that is used in the game is d20, but it differs greatly from the published d20 Star Wars rules...

Hey guys, what's a good name for this prestige class (that I am writing currently)? It is a monk-based class that uses weapons instead of unarmed attacks. The class expands on the "monk weapon" list with more exotic, asian-style weapons (not katanas, but things like spears and machetes) and is...

My apologies if this has already been asked and answered, but I just noticed it myself. In the PH (3.5) it states that: "each +1 of enhancement bonus adds 2 to the hardness of armor, a weapon, or a shield and +10 to the item's hit points." (p. 165). In the DMG (3.5) it states that "each...

Are there official spell list pages for the 3.5 character sheet out there somewhere? Has anyone made their own? Balsamic Dragon

I am planning on changing rules so that you can gain the full benefit of a permanent Intelligence gain. The rule as it stands is that an Int gain does not give you the retroactive benefit of additional skill points. The new rule would be that you can go back and figure out how many additional...

I just got ETools today! Having listened to much griping on the boards, I expected in advance that it would be buggy and quirky and ugly, however I am pleasantly surprised thus far! The most important thing to me was that, having read and thus being able to avoid the most common...

I only got to game with my brother James once. He came up to visit me in Boston when he was 16 and ran a D&D game for me and my friends. It was extremely silly, we had a bug summoning wizard, a couple of con artists, a half-dryad. Me and a friend played a cleric and paladin of "Bjorn", a...

Interesting poll up on the WOTC site. It appears to be designed to gather information from purchasers of non-WOTC d20 products on why they buy them and, interestingly, which products customers believe are "official D&D products." I don't purchase many non-WOTC products, but that's kind of a...

I put this in a different thread from the "GenCon Needs GMs" thread, because I don't want to discourage folks from signing up. However, this kind of last-ditch effort to get DMs for games that players have already registered for makes me pause. I have played in some great convention games and...

I promised one of my players that I would finish writing up a prestige class for tonights game and I have procrastinated all week and now I have writers block! Here's what I have: Arcane Trapmaker - the party is going through Return to the Temple of Elemental Evil and has discovered a dwarven...

Can't remember whether this was mentioned on these boards, or where I got the idea, but here it is: Creatures are "Evil" with a capital E if they are one of the following: outsiders from an evil plane, evil undead, clerics who have the evil domain, or those who have been lured by and/or...

My friend Jon just moved to Bloomington and (although much closer to Gencon now!) wants to find a spot in a weekly game. Any folks in that neck of the woods? Balsamic Dragon

I was thinking that one should exist, and if any prestige class was a perfect fit it has to be Exotic Weapon Master from the new Masters of the Wild. Listen to the text: "For the exotic weapon mater, the intricacies of the shuriken, the siangham, the dire flail and the hand crossbow pose no...
