I'd expect it to be a silver scratch off section much like we have with Nintendo stars at the moment.

As much as colour shouldn't matter it really does

I'd love to use dungeons but I can just never find a way of justifying them in the game. The temptation to have an old school nearly plotless crawl comes across me every once in a while but I've never actually tried it.

Excellent, Cheers for that

Has anybody got a more in depth explanation of when this spells fails to provide any useful information? I'm curious as in one of the games I run the cleric has just cast this upon the remains of a former friend in order to get them to explain their actions. However, he killed the friend with a...

I like the idea of using playing cards as action points. I'm going to rip that off I do believe. Other than that it sounds like it'll be quite a bit of fun, a little silly for my tastes though, but each to their own. Good luck with it.

UA lists a numbers of variants which can be applied to the summoning spells. One of these that caught my fancy was giving each caster an individual list. For each summoning spell he leans he gains a single type of creature he can summon with that spell, then for each spellcaster level he gains...

Cigars are quite possibly the way forward. It just doesn't seem right using pipes, I just can't imagine it in a non silly way. Cheers people

I was busily slapping some notes on paper for a location which I expect my group will be heading for in the next few sessions and I hit a stumbling block. Nothing major, but just one of those little details that gets bigger the more you think about it and don't find an answer. The plan was to...
