Evenin' all In the near future myself and my gaming group are looking to take a break from D&D and play something different; they've said they want something with guns and explosions, maybe sci-fi, cybepunk, something like that. I have no idea what games are out these days, and trawling the...

After a barmy discussion about elephants, which turned into a discussion about vampire elephants, I was inspired (if that is the right word) to create a vampiric elephant; which I am delighted to share with you :) The world needs more silly monsters! So, without further ado, here is the...

Afternoon all My next D&D game (3.5 edition): the PCs are on their way back to their hometown, only to discover that it has been invaded in their absence, by hobgoblins. I have a few ideas of specific encounters, but was wondering if anyone had any tips or tricks to run/prepare for a town-based...

Morning all, quick question: I have a player who is playing a warforged and is looking to multiclass into a druid, thus gaining the wild shape ability (effectively making him a 'transformer'): in his beast form, can he make basic attacks? Looking at the rules I think not, but can't be 100%...

Hello all :) Though it about time I tried my hand at a story hour, and since I have recently started a new campaign (3.5 for this one) what better time to try. Firstly, the player characters (all first level); the "speech" bits are what the players themselves sent me when we were creating...

In a few weeks I am embarking on a new campaign (3.5 D&D) set in an home-brew world. I aim to start a story hour based on the adventures, to see if I can make something people will want to read. Here's the website I put together for the campaign: Land of Black Glass The roster of PCs hasn't...

Hallo everyone Just thought I'd share some maps and a link to the site of the campaign that I'll be running in a few weeks, 3.5 since no once is ready to chance to 4th ed. yet. I am hoping to produce a story hour out of this too, as I have never done that (at least not here) before & I'd...

In preparation for a home brew 4th Ed. D&D campaign, I decided to try and create a new class; chiefly for the fun of it. So, here it is. I've put together a range of powers from Levels 1 to 29, plus new rituals and a paragon class. It's a first draft, and no doubt the maths aren't perfect and...

I'm preparing an adventure for my players, but my mind seems to have dried up all its creative juices and I'm stuck. After the last adventure the PCs are being pursued by people who wish them harm, and I'm going to start the adventure at the end of a long chase that's left them fatigued, out of...

When it comes to using the powers in the game, how are players going to describe them? Some seem simple enough, Magic Missile for example, but what about the various marking and challenge powers, how do people plan of describing them during the game? I'm guessing that the PHB will have bits on...

Here's one for you. I need a name for magic created using artefacts; a bit like technomancer, but not that (too well used, too cliche). It's for a class that uses found pieces of artefacts, rediscovered ancient objects, etc, that (when combined) create magical effects. Something different...

I've been pondering on using a race in my campaign that is tied closely to the earth, stone, that sort of thing; I want them to be able to partially move through stone at will, be humanoid, and human-like in their outlook (i.e. not good or evil, but capable of any alignment). Are there any...

I am planning on building a campaign wherein the main baddies are gnolls. What background, history, etc do we have on gnolls from all the various editions, books and manuals? Anyone are to chip in? I'm at work at the moment and my books are all at home, and my mind is working overtime on ideas...

Can someone remind me what gods have been mentioned for 4th Ed?

Morning all. Does anyone have any house rules (or variant rules that they know of) for getting rid of a wizard's/sorcerer's familiar, and the spells for a ranger, and replacing them for something else? I know the Pathfinder Alpha (and one of the Dragon magazines) has alternatives for...

As a companion to the Memorable Moments thread, what characters have you played that have stuck in your mind well after they've died a natural death? I once played a 2nd Edition Gully Dwarf, Togglet Blibblob, a rather dim-witted, stupid yet loyal companion to the kender I played. Togglet was...

Do you have any memorable moments from past/current adventures (any system)? For example; I had a wizard in one adventure, who, after being silenced by a priest's spell, fled the chruch by running up to the altar and leaping through the stained glass window, escaping certain death. What I liked...

I've been slowly designing my own world of my 4th Edition campaign I plan to run in June, using the place names from the preview books. I haven't developed it much more than designing a world map and making a few notes, but I thought I'd share the map with you, just to see what people think...
