    Simple "haunted" house

    1. dogs are smarter than people, if they know a house is haunted they run in the other direction. 2. creepiness factors are fun: a. bloodstain that starts at the front door and ends where you need it to b. mirror that only reflects an image of the pc in decayed form c. zombie in chains...

    Need opinion on Dragon/Dungeon

    DUNGEON period. i use the maps, enemies, campaign workbook, settings, cities yadda yadda yadda. the only thing i like in dragon is the sage advice column. the last thing on earth i need is new spells/classes/skills/feats to slow down gametime any more than necessary.

    Fudging dice rolls

    i used to, but now when the monster is about to land what is probably going to be the killing stroke, i throw the dice right out in the middle of the table for everyone to see. i'm just evil like that. yes i use 2 dm screens, a d20 one and the oldschool ad&d one with the 'erol otus' artwork on it

    Evard's Black Tentacles

    field of rubbery 10 foot tentacles that creatures can either be grappled by or only move half speed through... yes. i would say they provide cover. at least 50 percent. p.s. I hate this spell. nothing slows an encounter better than EBT being cast. giant squid and octopus tentacles are the...

    Evard's black tentacles

    first off, i hate this spell, it slows combat by ten billion percent. i think you answered your own question there. 'once the tentacles grapple an opponent' that's round 1. if they maintain the grapple in the successive round, then the damage is dealt. that's how i handle it anyway. p.s. notice...

    How do I deal with a cheating player?

    first off, as a DM, trust none of those squirmy little wastes of life called 'players' constantly check their sheet. even the nicest little dm butt-kissers screw up. and OOPSIE it always seems to be in their favor. grab his sheet. take 2 minutes to see how messed up it is and recalculate...

    Plane of Shadow... i got great ideas for using the plane of shadow from playing SOULREAVER 2 for playstation2. that game is just freekin awesome. Raziel (if i remember his name correctly) had to solve puzzles in 2 realities. in the description for the plane of shadow, there is a reference to...

    Ideas, Advice?

    Disenchanters and Rust monsters and living spells (combo detect magic/antimagic field) any baddie with those gauntlets of rusting or whatever.

    annual upkeep costs of buildings?

    like repairs? why not make it depend on structure materials? like thatch roofs needing maintained more often, or stone/wood almost never needing repairs. maybe with each storm, give it a percentage value of damage, like hailstorm subjects all buildings to a 5 percent damage total. that might be...

    Adventure starts.

    Woke up lashed over some tables in a dim room while being looked over by some creepy looking town guard guy scratching his chin, who then says to someone across the room, in a gruff voice... "Get the gimp."

    Mining metals in 3.5

    hrmmm. well i hope i haven't screwed up too much, cuz i set it up way different already. like, here's how i did it so far... (using a 10 dwarf mining crew) 5% chance per 2,000 gp investment in materials (tools, carts, man hours etc.) of finding ANY ore. if a roll is successful, then i check to...

    Mining metals in 3.5

    Just as kind of an update to my "Age of Empires" style game i'm running now, my players have begun mining, and based on how much they invest, there is a chance of discovering ore. So i assigned some random metals to a d20 roll if the mining is successful. I have everything from iron to...

    What do you think when DM introduces old PC as an NPC?

    Cuz I had to... My game group recently started with 4 players, none of whom would play a caster. period. i was about to run them through the forge of fury module, and knew that 4 guys with no caster prolly wouldn't last long. so i pulled in a 5th level wiz character i had in a big folder of old...

    Tests of Heros

    here's some hopefully not too stupid ideas: test of leadership- make a player run a minigame (using miniatures) against a foe to protect a relic or king of the hill scenario? make it to where only a very well planned defense will overcome. wisdom-some sort of arbitration scenario where they...
