I was hoping somebody could brainstorm a little with me here, to help flesh out an idea for a new campaign. Some background: I've been using the same high fantasy homebrew setting since the release of 3.0. Some time back I decided to shake things up a bit. A campaign that lasted for several...

I'm curious; how many of the DMs here at EN-World use published adventues and how many write their own? If you could also drop a few lines about why you do things the way you do, that'd be great, Personally, I love the creative process of making my own adventures. I tried running a published...

I'm making a new character, a 10th level specialist wizard (conjurer). NOT A SUMMONER, he specializes in direct damage spells. I'm taking the Master Specialist PrC from Comp. Mage, and one of the class features is that a 3 different levels he gets to add one additional free conjuration spell to...

Last night I got invited to play in a 2-day mini-campaign next weekend. The DM warned us that he wanted to make the adventure really, really deadly, and he encouraged us all to min-max and use every cheesy trick we can to make our characters as powerful as possible. He even wanted of us to make...

Nice plot-twist this time! :cool: ...Improved Paranoia... :p

Just saw this: http://www.wizards.com/default.asp?x=dnd/news/20061103a "Complete Scoundrel" - are they messing with us, or are they going for the Lamest RPG Book Title Ever Award? :confused:

First came Libris Mortis, making me want to run an undead-themed horror campaign. Then came Lords of Madness, making me want to run an aberration-themed horror campaign. Then came Heroes of Horror, making me want to run any kind of horror campaign. Then there was this thread, providing some...

I was hoping somebody here could enlightened me a little on the topic of public domain images. What does it take for a picture to gain that status, and how freely can one use these images? Can they be used only for non-profit purposes, or can paintings by the old masters be used as illustrations...

Check this out! The world's oldest D20 is up for grabs! Speaking of old dice; my avatar is Viking D4, in case anyone was wondering. (Fat chance! :p ) Gary Gygax weren't the first to think of these things... :D

I have this book that's nearing completion (see sig.) and I wonder how much info to put in it. So how do all of you feel about NPC stat blocks in your PDF books? (I'm thinking a sample NPC for each PrC here.) Are they a waste of printer paper and ink, or do you find them useful?

A new e-publisher is about to see the light of day. The first product line will be Vikings D20, and the first product Vikings D20: Midgard is scheduled for release as a PDF in april 2005. The second book,Vikings D20: Beyond Midgard will be released sometime this fall. Other upcoming products for...

...does anyone have any suggestion for how digitalis (real world poison made from the fox glove flower) could work in a D&D/D20 game? Maybe even a DC for making the stuff?

Every campaign I've ever run has been set in the same homebrew campaign world, which is definitely high-magic. However, my current campaign is nearing its end and I'm thinking it might be refreshing to try something different for my next campaign. I know there is a lot of love for low-magic...

First of all; a big hello to everybody! :) This is my first post on the publishers' boards, since I've never really had any reason to go lurking here before, but I'm guessing I'm about become a regular. I'm currently working on a project I hope to see published in the near future, something...

I'm curious about what the habits of the many DMs of ENWorld are when it comes to adventures. Do you prefer to make your own or use published material? Either way, I'd also like to hear why you do whatever it is you do.

(Inspired by the "Favorite Hardbacks" thread) I noticed a lot of non-WotC books got mentioned in that thread, and frankly I was a bit surprised. I bought a few 3rd party books in the early days of 3.0 and was so thoroughly discusted by the amount of hopeless errors I soon dubbed every one of...

According to the D&D 30th anniversary article in Newsweek, there's a new big-budget D&D movie in the works. Suppoesedly opening next years. Has anybody heard anything about this? I find it a bit hard to believe, simply because I've heard absolutely nothing about it. Not on WotC's pages, not on...

Ideas for a low-magic, viking-style campaign needed (long, I know...): My current campaign is nearing its end after four years. At this points the PCs have 30+ class levels, have ascended to divine rank 1 and are about to become the focal-point of major inter-planar war between the deities of...

How many of the regulars in here have actually taken the time to read the rules for these boards? It seems to me that the tone of these boards have changed quite a bit the last few years. There used to be a lot more respect for our beloved grandmothers, IMHO. :\ How do you other long-timers...

A question that's bee nagging me for some time just got that much more pressing after I got Frostburn: Why does frostgiants and other cold-type creatures always favor weapons with the frost ability? Why do their spellcasters always use so many cold spells? Just about everyone and everything...
