(Continued from A Knight for a Pawn) There's a bit of old stone in the city, but most of it looks fairly recently built, or recently rebuilt. The folk are of a hearty stock, men with broad shoulders and ladies with broad hips, and generally quite tall. All human, as well, although the...

(Continued from The Man in Black) Come morning, the mood in Despia hasn't seemed to change much: The population generally continue to comport themselves with the same uniform politeness, at once comfortable and grim. Returning to the Common Hall, you are quickly directed to speak to Brother...

(Continued from The Fellowship of the White Dove.) Once all are assembled, the knight leads you downstairs, pushing through the tables of now-thinning games, looking over the heads of the now less than glamorous. "Right outside," he says, smiling. It's true, you realize slowly: There is...

Jaros/Kurita: "'ey!" A sharply called voice interrupts one of your regular sparring sessions... Following the gaze of the young Acolytes of the Staff surrounding, you turn to see a very large half-orc, no, a regular-sized half-ogre making his way through the gates. The ends of a spiked chain...

{I, 1:} [1] Hedrogura: Jewel of the Eastern Sealine, a testament to the glory of Free Cities around the world, at least for those who've never seen it in person. In reality it is a dirty, aging city orbited by dirty, aging slums: Its "booming marketplace" is little more than a horde of thievely...

The skinny: - 32 point buy for stats. - Starting XP at 50,000 (5,000 over 10th level), which'll give you something to play with if you want item creation feats. - Starting gold will be 54,000 (again, a little bit between levels). - Regarding equipment, I ask that each character start with...

(Continued from A Game of Trust) Once everyone has calmed down a little, the hour passes quickly. With Nurthk and Orbril translating, you're able to get in some light conversation with the others... You realize quickly that, for the most part, they are as eager to get this meeting done with as...

Roster full, but open to the idea of expansion if anyone really wants to join. Reply to this thread for more info; the gist of it is, 3.5 core rules for character creation, using the starting XP/GP indicated below. Players & characters: dpdx: Brother Fendric, the fawn-haired young half-elf...

Here's the low-down: We're several months into the game. Players should be hitting level three soon, and the game should be accelerating soon as well. But because I've been gone lately (and probably for some other reasons I don't know about) it seems we've lost some players... So I'm looking...

So my roommate's been "researching" the X-Men lately, and it's gotten me really into the whole idea of Superhero comics... And I think to myself, "God, a campaign like that would rock!" I've put some thought into how to make a system work with that, and here's what I've come up with: d20...

Okay, I've been adamently OK with 3.5E for a while now... I was also not too offended by one of WotC's other controversial moves, removing certain staple monsters from Open Game Content. Then I put two and two together. One of the big reasons I was okay with 3.5E is the presence of the SRD...

Yes, we now have an OOC thread -- feel free to post suggestions, questions, comments, criticisms, and anything else regarding the game or how it's going. Also, we've lost a couple of players (I blame dragons or possibly dinosaurs), so we could use one or two players. If anyone's interested, see...

Okay, here's the plan: A series of 20 challenges, primarily combats, with character level increasing once per challenge. The challenges themselves will be at an EL of approximately 3 higher than the party level. You will receive a hint before each encounter, and a warning now, that almost none...

(I'm looking through here trying to find a game to play, and it looks scant... So I figure "nobody's going to start a game unless someone starts a game," so I'm starting one. Ground rules: PHB only to create character. Use 4d6 drop-the-lowest for stats. First level. Roll for gold using the...

...as well as Giant's Toughness, and Dragon's Toughness, (from MotW) struck me as a little off the first time I saw them. Especially since they're available as Fighter bonus feats, meaning you can really max out on them... Plus, there's an exploit: They're based on Fort save, so you can...

I've had this in mind for a while, and wanted to submit it to http://www.ottenhoff.org/rpgs/dnd/rangerproject (because I really enjoy the project, and think that's where the alt.Rangers should gather, rather than recurring posts here), but their submission rules are pretty explicit about wanting...

Okay, so I have a small pile of checks from a variety of relatives left over this year... I could put it toward rent or food or something, but it's gift money, so I figure I might as well spend it on gift-style things: Namely, D&D supplements! I'm looking for any of the following: - Good...

Okay, so it look like schedules have cleared up a little for me and my roommates next quarter... So, I figure it's high time to start a new campaign. I've laid out some ground rules for myself: Get the characters from Level 1 to Level 20 within one large story arc. Award levels for story...

I'm wondering if anyone's tried dumping the alignment system (in some manner), what mechanical problems have come up because of it, and how well it worked? I'm personally tired of all the "can a good character use poison" et cetera arguments, and am bothered by the shades of grey it cuts out of...

...either ones which already exist, or suggestions for creating a new one. My problems with the existing spell-casting system: - The whole spell-level system doesn't scale too effectively, and it's too full of quantum leaps... It limits the value you can place upon a spell (if it's a first...
