    Spelljammer Spelljammer, 5e, and the general angst against all things space

    I am having a personal dilemma in my long term ongoing gaming world and group of players. I freaking love Spelljammer. The moment it was introduced by TSR it became integral to almost every aspect of any campaign I DM'd, any adventure I wrote. The issue is that no matter how hard I try and...

    Gamma World

    I rearranged my man cave/game room over the weekend and came across a very old, tattered and beat up Gamma World boxed set that I haven't seen or touched in easily 25 years, maybe more. I opened her up and found an old adventure that the older, less jaded version of me had begun to write, and...

    So INTERPARTY conflict time, how do you handle it as a DM?

    So. Interparty conflict. The Paladin doesn’t like the actions of the Warlock. The Thief thinks the wizard is being a prick. One of the two fighters has taken a secret mission from an NPC, at odds with the rest of the party’s priorities. The new guy, Tony, it one of those treasure whores, who...

    D&D 5E Spelljamming in 5e

    When our gaming group took the plunge and committed, creating a group of brand new 5e characters and starting our first game one of the things we did was shatter the spaceways as we knew them. The crystal spheres have disintegrated, the flows (wormholes) became unstable and collapsed and all...

    Jacksonville Florida ~ Pathfinder/3.5 Group needs new blood

    The current incarnation of our gaming group began in 2004, and over time evolved. We started out playing a homebrew hybrid of 2.0, and worked our way to 3.5, and now we're moving firmly towards Pathfinder. Unfortunately we're in a Military town, so our group has suffered losses of players as...

    Kalak Rising - Preamble

    It doesn't hurt anymore Harn thought to himself. He knew this was both good, and bad. A Mul of the Ard-Thras, one of the major Gladius Houses of Raam - he was one of the best trained fighters of Gathric's Ludus, but he was no match for the Nameless One, the massive Half Giant from distant...

    And it begins again. Once a year I Let then Get Their Evil On - they know what the goal is before we even start. We pick a standard DnD game world - their goal, take it over. the whole thing. So far Grayhawk and Faerun have withstood their dismal attempts. This year? ATHAS...

    Magic Items available for purchace?

    Recently we had a new player join our group, and we helped him create a 7th level character (DnD 3.5 hybrid). We gamed for a few setting, and about halfway through the 4th they encountered a chasm with a rickety bridge across it. As I prepaired for a fun harrowing crossing which would have...

    2.0... oh how I've missed you!!!

    It's been a long time since the old Tomes on the bottom shelf have been opened. The Dragonskins binding them threatening to crack as I poured over the familiar text. Soon familiar became intimate once more. Talon had returned. Our gaming group for the last several years has been playing 3.5...

    Super Heroes meets Arduin

    I have been tooling around with the idea for a few months now of a new campaign, taking my players well outside their comfort zone. I will have them generate Super Hero characters of relatively lite powers (no Thor's or Hulks - more like Hawk or Black Canary) one of them already came up with...

    Dice Dice and More Dice

    I saw a vaguely related thread and didn't want to hijack it - I am a dice nut. I have about fifty of the old East German high impact rounded edge dice, I still have my first old cheap set of low quality blue plastic dice that came in the Basic Rules Box, about every year or so I carefully refill...

    The Arduin Grimoire and fixing the DMing issue within

    It's been a few days since I reflected on the thread about how my skills have deteriorated as a DM. And in those days I've taken the time to reflect as to the whys... I mean come on, I was at the very first DexCon in New Jersey; DMing a Round Robin event where this strangely dressed 50s-ish...

    The Haunted Ship

    Well, I would like to bounce an idea off of you guys in reference to a Haunting. We're not talking about the 8th level Cleric walks in and casts Bless and it's game over, nothing so simple, but a real, tried and true haunting. Of a derelict Nautiloid... Themes I am considering: 1...

    Closing the Rotating Door of Death

    One of my personal frustrations - as a DM yes, but also as a player - was the high magic involved with the demise of a character. If we were low level, and any of us survived the fight, just gather up the dead and head to the nearest temple - bammo, somehow in the middle of nowhere, in this 3...

    Spelljamming in 3.5 - and - Psionics

    Allrighty, we've been experimenting with Spelljamming in 3.5 Rules, and have determined that it's doable, with a few adaptations - yet, I find I am curious if there are any other 3.0/3.5 Spelljamming updates out there. Next, I am frustrated with Psionics being treated as "just another form of...
