My group is finally taking the plunge and we are starting with Keep on the Shadowfell this Friday. Assuming all is well, we will run the whole series up to 30th. There has been some resistance to this in the group, although we did try a vary simple two-encounter module a few months back to get...

Interesting plot twist in my game last week. My L3 Transmuter was afflicted with Lycanthropy by a Werewolf, and I am considering keeping the curse and playing it out since the afflicted form is 'hybrid'. The DM didn't plan this, but the way our party organized and dealt with this threat, my...

Okay, given that the character in question will be playing in a group where powergaming is not a problem, has anyone compiled a list of the real 'bargain' spells for an Archivist to take at each level? Things like taking a Druid's Flame Strike at 4th level as opposed to the Cleric's 5th level...

*** SPOILERS FOR AGE OF WORMS WITHIN*** Looking for advice here. It's early in my AoW campaign, Whispering Cairn has just finished, and the party is moving into Three Faces of Evil. Allustan has already asked the party to investigate the temple in Dourstone Mine, but they have also been...

I've finally decided to bite the bullet and run Age of Worms for my group. I've read through all the materials and I think I've got a good idea of what to expect. My players are mostly tactically-minded battle-loving types so there should be no issue with the dungeon-crawlingness of the...

First of all, I'm the DM. I can over rule any of this, but I wanted to throw it out there. I have a player who submitted a Goliath Monk 8 for a campaign. His argument is that Goliaths can use large weapons without penalty and thus their unarmed damage should also be considered large. Add to...

Here's a curious question... Has anyone here started a campaign with 0-level characters? Basically, no XP earned until you earn you 1st class level by roleplaying. I'd imagine the characters would still roll attributes, but would have 4hp (+CON), no feats, no skills, no armour or weapon...

Bottom line, many of the complaints about 3.5 revolve around the integration of miniatures into the core rules. Maybe it's just me, but I am amazed that there are people who could play 3.0 without them. I've been using them since 2e since it makes life a lot easier in combat mechanics. I just...

Just noticed the scans over at gamingreport.com, and I was wondering if this 'free' guide is shipping with the books, or if it will be on racks at the FLGS? I ordered the core books online, and am hoping that it will be included. I also can't check out Wizard's site since I am at work and the...

It has been a long while since I have posted on the boards here :) Anyhow, I am beginning to put together the shell of my first new campaign in a while, and for a change of pace, my party is going to consist of extraplanar creatures and celestials bound to a particular god. Essentially, the...

So... In my campaign, I had a bard that was following the exploits of the party, in order to write epic poems and odes to tell of the mighty deeds of heroes. However, the reality of it was that he was not a very good bard, and his entire poetic output was formed entirely of limericks. Allow...

I just picked up this rulebook, and although my regular group has agreed to try it, any experience outside of good old Hack 'n Slash D&D always goes nowhere. They are not always the most adventurous group when it comes to game systems. Simply put... I... MUST... PLAY... THIS... GAME...
