    Dragon #325 has arrived

    I wrotet he offending article I'm Rahul Kanakia, I wrote the offending article (yes I did look in this post just to find my name) and none of my spells was originally titled "shock and awe". I haven't seen the issue yet, so I don't know which spell they renamed, but please do not hate on me.

    Mad Kaiser Games Now Accepting Submissions

    "All submissions become property of Mad Kaiser Games™ and will not be returned." is a quote from your submission guidelines. This makes no sense unless referring to the actual idea of the submission (since all the submissions are electronic and hence impossible to return). So the only way to...

    An Open Letter to Dragon and Dungeon Readers

    Okay, the Polyhedron minigames were incredibly neat, especially the Spelljammer one. I guess that isn't really constructive, but I thought I'd throw that out there.

    Most Awesome Campaign Newsletter Ever

    Jesus this forum moves fast. It's been awhile since I last posted here actively. Anyway, no player in fact ever read this, and I only ever did one newsletter. But I did create a whole huge history for this campaign setting and sixteen original races (I was going to break out of the elves/dwarves...

    Generational cycles in RPGs?

    My 'rents introduced me to sci-fi back when I was making my first trips to the library. My mom was like, "Hey read this" (It was the first Foundation book by Asimov). And Sci-Fi led me down the inevitable road to D&D and fantasy. But they didn't like consciously go, "Read SCI-FI and FANTASY!"...

    Most Awesome Campaign Newsletter Ever

    Okay, I'm not sure this is the right forum for this, but anyone who wants to see world creation gone mad has got to read this campaign newsletter I wrote a few years ago when I was in the 10th grade. It really is work of art, and I'm pretty sad that no one got to read it (I had more fun writing...

    Eerie but RPG inspiring Chernobyl pictorial site

    "oncological hospital has been working for 40 days after disaster, then head doctor died of cancer and people abandoned this hospital" That could be a line from Alas Babylon or some other nuclear horror story. Damn, its just so unbelievable. The accounts of Chernobyl I've read in textbooks only...

    Eerie but RPG inspiring Chernobyl pictorial site

    My god, its hard to believe that nuclear holocaust actually happened somewhere on this earth. I have this strange desire to go to Chernobyl now. Truly the most utterly amazing site I've seen in awhile

    Ghostwalk: Are you going to buy it?

    WotC is putting it out, I have to buy it. Laugh if you want, but thats the way it always ends up. I either buy it now or eight months of now, but eventually it will make its way into my gamer box. I mean, I bought d20 Modern didn't I? And Lords of Darkness. Still holding out on Fiend Folio and...

    Non Conventional Campaign Settings

    Planescape is definitely the gosh-darned coolest setting I've ever seen. Something about that setting, maybe the wacky creativity of it all, lets the imagination really run free. Not to mention that mimir.net was (and will be when it gets back up) the best D&D site in the universe. And SIGIS was...

    D&D 3E/3.5 3E D&D Knife Thrower: How do you build it?

    This PrC concentrates on knife throwing, its a pretty neat class if I do say so myself. Its not really concentrating on moving around, like some of these guys reccommend. My philosophy is that if you're going to be throwing knives, there's really no reason to move. It might be a little on the...

    New PrC: Kineticist

    I agree with the above guy, Spatzimus, but I got to add my own 2 cents. This prestige class is sweet, especially for a monk or rogue, not sweet in terms of power, but just in terms of coolness. What you got here is some original stuff. You should try to get it published, better than many of the...

    [Prc Race] Law Focus

    The experience costs might be low. The one in Dragon 304 that gained low-light vision and fire resistance 5 was 1600 XP. And you might also want to make the changes in appearance a bit more drastic. A metallic gleam seems a bit minor, they should be irrevocably marked as creatures of law. Maybe...

    Writer: Cyber Style City Guide

    Okay, but I don't know how many credits average stuff costs. How many credits is a sandwich, that sort of thing. Theres a table in the d20 Modern book (7-1 on page 204) that relates the Purchase DC of an item to its cost in dollars, should I use that (but in credits instead of dollars). Another...

    Writer: Cyber Style City Guide

    I only have the Prime Rules supplement for Cyber Style and I'm unsure what normal cost is. Should we just go with this "very low, low,..." etc rating you have for the cyberware? Or should we make up some arbitrary cost in "credits" (which are referenced under the "Cost" explanation of your...

    Calling all ye academic gamers

    http://www.theescapist.com/archives.htm Catalogues and archives what seems like every mention of DnD or gaming in general in the press, favorable or adverse. Only goes back to 1996, but its worth checking.

    Writer: Cyber Style City Guide

    1. Since the system will be d20 Modern, should we put all our prices in Wealth check DCs? 2. Do you just want stores, as in the City Guides? Can we have other places like restaurants, bars, seedy motels, governmental buildings, etc? 3. Should we assume our locations will be in the US? I'm...

    New Evocation (Light) spells

    I love Aura Infusion, that light effect is definitely pretty neat. I think you should up the power though. Its light effect is the same as Daylight in the end, but the damage is really nothing special and you have to not cast any spells or get damaged for three rounds in order to get 60 foot...

    How to conduct an interesting mage duel?

    The first person to summon a poisonous cobra into the other person's spare robes wins the duel. Other than that, I'm all in favor of the line them up (no movement or actual attacks allowed) and let them cast as many spells as they want until someone dies method. If you want to change the duel...
