My initial reaction to the idea of Dragonborn was, frankly, disapointment. I'm looking more and more at a sort of fairy-tale inspired setting, and just going by the name "dragonborn" really didn't quite fit. But my feeling is that my campaign world isn't just MY campaign world: It's ours, the...

A simple question, spurred on by 4E's "Feywild" and my just haivng re-read Neil Gaiman's wonderful Stardust: How many of you have run and/or played in D&D games with an explicitly "Fairy-Tale" styled setting? To be honest, I'm not 100% certain of what I mean by this. "I knows it when I sees...

Let me start by being blunt: I know sweet FA about the Psionics rules. Because that, I've avoided using them...but I've got a player who wants to play a Psion, and there's really no real reason for me to say no to him, beyond my own prejudices. It's an Eberron game, after all, and it's not...

There are, it seems, problems with Polymorph. I don't think that this is much in debate at this juncture; the flurry of new books makes it really damned difficult to keep track of the capabilities of the many monsters that have been introduced, and balancing them? Not an easy task. So, based...

D&D. Typical sort of setting, lacking the "high magic" feel of Eberron. A black dragon rules a large city, and the surrounding territory, with the aid of a vast army of kobolds. Said kobolds aren't all that tough, but they're smart, well trained, and know how to work as a unit. And of...

I like making maps. Sadly, I'm really bad at it. Really, really bad. Awful, even. I've tried a couple of different commercial products, but none of them are quite intuitive enough for my purposes. It hit me today, though, that there might be another way for me to manage. Fonts. There are...

I've been trying to remember the source of this Feat, or even just the name, and consistently failing. So hopefully someone here has a better memory than I do! Whatever it was called, the feat let you hit a foe and force him to make a check of some sort. Fort, I think. If he fails, he loses...

Let's say you've got a guy who specializes in throwing things. Hard. If he was an archer, he could use the Quiver of Whatsisface to carry umpty-billion arrows, and produce them as quick as a wink. And he could do the same thing if he was tossing javelins at people, right? What if he wants to...

I need some help with a character build. Long story short, I've been out of the D&D for a few years now, and I'm really unfamiliar with most of the supplementary materials that have been released for 3.5. I've got me a PHB, and that's about it. The DM, on the other hand, has just about...
