I'm restarting my high level campaign. When we ended the characters had just reached 20th level. I'm sending them email teasers about the impending restart. I am using sort of a movie trailer feel to them. The will all end like this Coming soon to a gaming table near you... *name of...

So, I went to RPGNow and signed up for a one year community supporter account. That was on Sept. 2nd. How long does it take to set up the account? I emailed Morrus with my info that same day but I have not heard anything back... Not complaining just wondering. I love the site and know...

So, I'm restarting my high level game soon. (I keep saying that...) I starting trying to figure out who the BBEG was going to be and what he/she was doing that would affect the characters. I recently began reading the Sovereign Stone novels and I really like the BBEG in them. I have some...

As I said in a different post I'm starting my high level game back up (20th level). One of my players expressed concerned over how often we have been playing in the current game that will be replaced by the high level game. His concern was that infrequent gatherings could make it difficult to...

I'm going to restart my high level campaign soon. I have a diverse group NPCs lined up for various places in the campaign world. I have been considering having "Special Guest Players" play some of the NPCs. Basically I would coach the person on all aspects of the NPC. ie. Their opinion of...

How do you get a player to think more like their character? I have a player that has played a lot of computer roleplaying games but this is his first tabletop RPG. He plays his character like he would a computer character, if he dies he'll just start a new one. Or bring the dead one back...

I'm looking for ideas for "Quirks" to give to magic items. Things that detract a little from the value of the item but not enough that characters want to get rid of the items. For example, +3 Longsword of Singing The sword grants the bearer the cleave feat during combat and does an...

I'm looking for a way to have the characters take damage but not know how much exactly. So instead of "You take 12 points of damage" I'd like to say something more cinematic that would give the player an idea of how hurt they are without using numbers. I'd still use hit points but the...

So I'm going to be restarting my high level campaign soon. (Players keep pestering me.) Given the amount of information I will need to keep track of I'm thinking about becoming a Laptop DM. I have a AMD K6/2 500Mhz laptop that is otherwise unused so I figured I could devote it to gaming...

I'm looking at getting a SRD product for the 3.5 rules. The two I know of are the one from CMG http://www.rpgnow.com/product_info.php?products_id=1929& and the one from Cartography Unlimited http://www.rpgnow.com/product_info.php?products_id=1947& Anybody seen both? Which is better? Thanks

Thought I'd try an experiment. Post a spell and then a description of a creative way to use the spell against a party. For example: From the SRD: Simulacrum Simulacrum creates an illusory duplicate of any creature. The duplicate creature is partially real and formed from ice or snow. It...

A high level campaign that I DM'd for about two years has been on hiatius since my son was born six months ago. We have resumed other campaigns and my players are anxious to restart this one as well. I have been putting them off because there is a situation with a player that I find...

My players have been pestering me to restart my high level campaign. (Currently on hold after the birth of my son 6 months ago.) I was thinking it would be rat-bastardly to send out teasers periodically for a couple of weeks while I get things prepared. Sort of like movie trailers. Anybody...

I'm looking for ideas for a pair of characters. I'm trying to find combinations of classes that would compliment each other well. Such as siblings that have always worked together to overcome problems in their lives. Sort of like a fighter/devoted defender working with a wizard. The...

I don't have my books handy, and didn't see it last night when I browsed quickly thru the PsiHB. Does anybody know the ECL for the PsiHB version of the Githzerai (sp?) ? Thanks,

I'm working on a new character for the game I play in. The character will be 10th level and eventually get psionics (campaign related all characters discover hidden talents/psionic levels). If I create a psionic character I can get 1 additional level for the character but have to have 2 levels...

Is there anything in the book In The Saddle about riding dogs? I have a player with a riding dog that wants more options for his dog. If there isn't anything in there, can anyone suggest where I might find more about riding dogs or other mounts/animal companions? [Update: Doesn't matter...

One of the players in a new campaign I am starting (tomorrow) wants a riding dog. Having never run a game or played in one where a character had a riding dog this brings up several questions. 1. Does the cost for a riding dog listed in the PHB include a saddle? 2. If not, how much should a...

I'm working on an idea... I have this image of a group of adventurers sitting in a tavern waiting to meet someone. A person enters the tavern looks around and loudly shouts "Well, it's the big show!". (or maybe "Do you smell what the Rock is cooking?") Several minstrels burst through the...

Has anybody turned Sanctuary into a D20 setting? I think it's from the Thieves World books? I played under a DM that tried but was not a very good DM and the game did not last long.
