I'm working on describing a city to use as a ongoing base and source of adventures for our group. Of course, the first step in any creative work is to pillage ideas from others. Does anyone have suggestions of online rpg cities (medieval/fantasy) that they would recommend? I think I know...

Amazon.com: Evolution of Fantasy Role-playing Games (9780786458950): Michael J. Tresca: Books Has anyone read this book, or know anything about it? According to Amazon it was published Sept 3rd. craftyrat

I'm working on the rules for a low magic campaign, and how to handle healing. I already have modified the heal skill so that it can be used to restore hit points (with signficant limitations). But I am also thinking of a post fight recovery system. If hit points represent (at least to a...

I'm preparing for a low magic item game (pretty much no magic items, perhaps except potions, and only one class that can cast spells). One way I am going to keep the power level closer to normal is with more powerful races. So I need ideas on how to make the core races a bit better. I want to...

I'm looking for information on the early history of the forgotten realms - the time before the Crown Wars, before the rise of the elven kingdoms. In particular the time when dragons ruled, but I'll take anything from this era. There is a bit in the FRCS talking about the creator races and...

I have a couple of more questions about M&M (2nd ed): Is this a valid power at PL6? : Telepathy 12 (Subtle) [29] Alternate Powers: Mental Blast 6; Emotion Control 6 (Mind Blank, Area Burst, Selective); Illusion 6 (all senses, Phantasms, Selective, Progression 5); Mind Control 6 (Mental Link...

I'm a late 30s gamer in downtown Victoria looking for an adult gaming group, or gamers who want to form a group. Drop me an email if you are interested. craftyrat - petergou[at]shaw.ca

I've bought M&M 2nd edition and I'm working my way through the rules. I ran some combats between the hero archetypes, and I'm confused about how they are created. How does the Weapon Master have a defense of +14? I thought the max was +10 for her power level, unless there is a trade-off...

http://film.guardian.co.uk/news/story/0,,1803394,00.html Pretty vague so far. Has anyone seen anything else about this? craftyrat

Are there any revisions to character creation that essentially break all the abilities out into feats (rather than a point based system like M&M)? I'm pretty sure I saw a pdf like this, but I can't remember the name. I'm working on some low magic revisions, and I'd like some sources to mine...

As suggested in the what do ENWorlders do thread, here is a place for our many librarians (and all people who work in libraries) to talk, compare notes, complain, ask questions, etc. I manage a reference department in a legislative library in Canada. There are 6 librarians and 4 support staff...

This is my attempt at making ECL 0 Lycanthropes. To do this, I modified them quite a bit, and broke some of their abilities out into racial feats. Lycanthropes Lycanthropes are people who have the ability to shapeshift into animal form. Their humanoid form can be any type: human, dwarf, elf...

I'm trying to create lists of animal companions by terrain. Using the choices in the Players Handbook (and a bit from the frost and sand books), I have come up with the lists below. Any suggestions? Does anyone else have lists they would like to share? I'm drawing a bit of a blank on swamp...

This is a kind of expanded choice barbarian, sticking to the class format, but with a bit more customizability. The bonuses for terrain and totem make it somewhat more powerful than a standard barbarian, but not overwhelmingly so. Comments? Ideas for other specializations? craftyrat Credit...

Greenbound Summoning feat from Lost Empires of Faerun. I was planning out a summoning druid for a new campaign when I came across this feat. It seems extremely powerful (quick summary: no prerequisites, turns your summoned nature's allies into plant creatures, gives +6 armor, DR 10/magic and...

We were joking at our game last night that our rogue (who is due for a death) was going to come back as kobold this time - since our healer is a druid. So as a joke, I decided to lay out his options with a bunch of kobold rules, prestige classes and the like. The result is Kobold-o-Rama, which...

This post contains links to all the reasonably complete core and prestige classes and races that I could find in this forum back to the beginning of the year. craftyrat Revised Core Classes | New Core Classes | New and Revised Prestige Classes | New and Revised Races and Monster Classes |...

I haven't done the flavor text for these, but here are four new hexblade prestige classes. Instead of +1 spell casting/level some of them have +1 hexblade spell casting/level - the first would be too powerful when combined with a regular caster. All of them have the same class skills and skill...

Are there any DAoC players here who'd be willing to give me their opinion of the game? I'm a long-time Everquest player, and I'm thinking that I might be ready for something new. My most immediate worry with DAoC is pvp, as I am not the slightest bit interested in pvp. I know it only takes...

I designed a more forgotten-realms oriented reincarnate table for our campaign: 01-12: Dwarf (01-05: arctic dwarf; 06-40: gold dwarf; 41-50: gray dwarf (duergar); 51-90: shield dwarf; 91-95: urdunnir; 96-100: wild dwarf) 13-24: Elf (01-05: aquatic elf; 06-10: avariel; 11-20: drow elf; 21-45...
