Thanks for the suggestions. I agree that using mirror image is a poor choice, it was just an idea. The idea regarding minis isn't too workable for me given that my selection of minis is pretty slim. Also it might get difficult to determine where reflections might appear when characters start...

I'm thinking of having an encounter in a house of mirrors, but I'm having trouble coming up with rules for the encounter. I've considered giving everyone the effect of a mirror image spell and then having each destroyed image be a shattered mirror. I've also considered just assigning everyone...

I'm looking for some puzzles for use in a few games. I need some that would be appropriate for a sci fi setting (specifically Star Wars) and some for a dungeon/crypt crawl through a Dwarven tomb. I have the book of challenges and will probably use some stuff from there, but wanted to get some...

I picked up the latest edition of the World of Darkness rules last year at GenCon and although I have yet to play, I was intrigued by the system of virtues and vices. Essentially a character has to pick one virtue and one vice and they get bonuses when they act in accordance with those virtues...

The RPGA was originally started by TSR and then became part of WOTC once they bought DnD. It's essentially part of WOTC's marketing department. Like most of the posters have said they don't do much outside of the living campaigns, but there are quite a few of those. I play quite a bit of...

Under the pious templar PrC, the templar gets the "mettle" ability, which allows him to take no damage if he makes a save against a spell that allows partial damage on a will or fortitude save. I guess the ability is somewhat like the rogue's evasion. However, I can't seem to find any spells...

A couple of questions regarding the chain devil. First, can a chain devil use his dancing chains ability to make nearby chains attempt trip or disarm attacks instead of regular attacks? If so, I assume the devil's str bonus does not apply. Also, if the devil can do a disarm in this fashion...

This came up in my group last night. If two people are in a grapple and another character attempts to fire a ranged weapon at the grappled bad guy. Does the bad gue get any kind of cover or is there a possibility that the other character involved in the grapple will be hit instead. The rules...

Actually, now that I think about it, I never saw Luke pay for his drink in the Cantina. Granted, maybe the bar tender didn't care after Obi-Wan sliced off that one guy's arm. And I never saw Han leave a tip on the table after the Greedo incident. What a bunch of cheapskates. :D

Insight, I'm curious how you managed your Rebellion era game. I'm also just about to run a Star Wars Rebelion era game that takes place right after the Hoth evacuation. I was going to use the standard Star Wars d20 rules (no jedi classes alowed though). However, I would much rather use the...

Actually, I've found M&M to not be that deadly. I like the hitpointless system. In the M&M games I've run I found that when a player failed significantly on a damage save and went uncouncious or was disabled, I was able as a GM to have my bad guys attack another character. Usually the...

I was thinking of running a Star Wars game set in the Knights of the Old Republic time period where all the players will be Jedi. I have the d20 Star Wars rules, but find them to be a bit too deadly for the style of game I want to run. I'm looking for something a little more cinematic, but...

If you are interested in the midnight zombie game, show up even if you can't register. Last year the GM took generics for those who couldn't get in. The game has something like 30 or 40 people in it and he didn't seem to care if a few more were added to the mix.

Well, it seems like some of you are doing better than I. I still haven't seen this elusive "cart" where you can put "events." I can't seem to even log on. I think those of you talking about this "cart" thing are all part of a vast conspiracy directed at me to frustrate me. But I'm on to you all.

You could try Sci-Fi city (formerly known by the much cooler name of Enterprise 1701). It's in Orlando. Check out their web site at www.sci-fi-city.com.

This came up in a game I was in this weekend. If a spellcaster uses hypnotism and then the hypnotized characters are attacked, does the enchantment automatically disappear, or do the characters just stare blankly while being beaten upon. I recall the 3.0 version of hypnotism stated that...

I have no advice regarding train robberies, but I am facinated with your setting. Not to highjack your thread or anything, but could you maybe post just a little bit more about your setting. What books do you use? Do you use standard PHB classes? Any additional classes? How do you explain the...

How does spiked armor work when being grapled. If my paladin is wearing spiked plate, and is grappled by some creature, does the creature automatically take damage from my spikes or do I have to actually make an attack roll? Also, if an attack roll is necessary, is spiked armor considered a...

I want to make sure I understand the rules regarding restoration and negative levels. Last night, a paladin PC was hit by several spectres and took -2 levels per hit. So he went from level 9 to level 3 (he was hit three times). Now was I correct in saying that he did not get a fort save right...
