I feel this article is now out of time. As in no longer relevant to modern gaming systems. In early systems, such as 1E/2E, etc., absolutely, the OP has a good point. But what is not addressed at all is the largest change in 3E and later where PCs are given the ability to make their own magic...

Thanks Chad, if I remember correctly (I got too much stuff to dig through to find out for sure), there is a trilogy for the forgotten realms that starts in Undermountain and leads to Wildspace (similar to what you are doing, but different). Maybe you can rob that set for some inspiration too...

I am not very regular on these boards anymore, but I found this post looking for something else and I hope you find the information contained within to be helpful. I love this box set, I think it is the single best set of potential produced by the company for the entire edition (2D in this...

How will the traditional Barbarian still struggles on while dying work? Will they take penalties to the save or auto fail if still up and raging? It is a classic moment for the Barbarian to carry the day at death's door and then fall over dead at the end of combat when the rage subsides.Is...

Some suggestions I have been a fan of Necromancer games ever since I discovered it. How about a little something old and a little something new? Do you recall the return to series of adventures? How about something like that instead of a reprinted update. If you do go with a reprinted...

So, I have been a DM for over twenty years. My actions in game are responsible for the character deaths of more PCs than I can remember. In truth, even more deaths are due to the actions of the PCs themselves, not my machinations. I had a party implode over the palming of a single ring (which...

I am also surprised (forgive the pun) by the response received. Surprise, as a game concept, could work any way designed I suppose, but I would hardly call this rule surprise. Forgetting the jargon, achieving surprise in combat is tantamount to advantage, though it does not guarantee victory...

Herzog- While it is true that the original thread has been resurrected, there have been no new contributions to it since the fracus with small changes in conversions. Not trying to argue, but neither the new or original thread contain everything produced by WOTC/TSR that could be converted...

Yardiff- It became a problem to post conversions when creative people started getting smacked down for any adjustments. There are many examples of changes in power with the difference between editions and the folks that were doing the bulk of the conversion work had tried to make adjustments...

Archade- Agreed, charmed clerics could be convinced to switch deities, (players, again spoilers!) but in this case, the charming creature is not a deity and is unable to provide spells. Can easily be solved with the clerics not being able to regain spells once they have been cast. Given the...

Hello all, I am a long time DM returning to the area after a long time absence. The last time I was in the area, I ran a game at the Gamers Guild in Spring Lake, but I see that the place has changed quite a bit since I was here last, so I am not only looking for new players (no experience...

Watching with interest, as it is a staple of my longtime campaign. One item of note thus far and for those players reading (spoilers): the two clerics should be worshippers of the original god as they are only hypnotized by the BBEG. That would make them clerics of the agriculture god instead...

Half way update So, here we are at the half way point. Looks like we have locked in two of the three books being offered and increased the size of the Fifth Edition Foes by several more monsters. We are only a couple of thousand dollars in pledges away from adding in the third and final book...

But do not take my word for it, see this link from Morris which describes the Kickstarter campaign: http://www.enworld.org/forum/content.php?1737-Necromancer-Games-Is-Back-And-Supporting-D-D-5E-With-3-Books! At this time we are approaching the end of the first 48 hours and it is already funded...

These crafty dudes put the mythic psionics updates toward the later part of the campaign. So we need more help to get there. Please take a look at what they are offereing and drop in if you can! This is fan funded stuff and it is a really good lineup of talent to make it happen...

I know these are more expensive than the last set of Dungeon Tiles, but we were warned when we clamored for them that they would cost more to make. In any case, if you have not visited the site in the last 24 hours, you should. There are now river tiles added and they are gorgeous! Check them...

Ninjaed Ninjaed by Brvheart, I dropped my post in the Kickstarter section.

For those of you that have been around for the last 15 years of gaming, you may recall a small company that supported the third edition in its infantsy called Necromancer Games. Their tag line was 3rd edition games, 1st edition feel. They have evolved into Frog God Games and are now offering...

Hello again folks! I noticed there is no thread for this Kickstarter on ENworld, so I thought I would drop one before it is too late. This Kickstarter looks like an excellent product (you can see previews of it with links embedded on the Kickstarter page). Further, it is a low pledge item...

Update So, here we are about half way through the campaign and we are just over 8K. Plenty of stretch goals met, but so far it is mostly additional art and content. The really good ones are just around the corner...GM screen, second book for magic criticals, and even some minis a little...
