I Disagree- I went into gencon owning only the 4E PHB and having played the First module of the Pathfinder series. Gen con was going to decide if I was going to stay with 3.5 or go to 4E. My wife and I played in both pathfinder cronicles events, and RPGA 4E events. It's an either/or for me...

I actually loved this adventure and ran it for my group a while ago. They enjoyed it a lot, and I thought it was very well put together. Bonus points for teaching the warrior that he should not jump between boats in heavy armor, and the opportunity to teach him a)Swimming rules B) The long...

Ruined- Actually this is very good to read, and one of the reason's I have gone with an Episode "Zero"- To get the kinks out and get all sorts of feedback. "A bit long"- I did go over my target length, and have been told by some that know me in real life that I was not as enthusiastic sounding...

(With apologiges, Media forum tags did not seem appropriate) I Need New Dice! is My RPG podcast about recovering from DM burnout, and my rediscovery of love for the hobby. Episode Zero is up, and I hope I can get some feedback from you all. Episode Zero is about using music in gaming...

Quick question- I swore there was a feat out there in WOTC D&D materials that alowed you to pick any skill (or x number of skills) and make it/them a class skill. Am I Crazy and mixing in 3rd party materials? Could this be from a Dragon, and if so, which one? My Fiance (and my memory)...

Just quick note about the effect in the campaign of rolling that high. Personally, I love to have the actions of my players come back into game further down the line. (They love it too) Be it the PCs who start the initial tale or NPC witnesses, there is ample chance of the party hearing the...

I didn't see this mentioned anywhere else on the thread. A few weeks ago I noticed that Walmart.com has a sizable D&D product listing. (Nice discounts as well) I was wondering if anyone is actually using them as an online supplier, and does anyone think this could hurt local operations?

Here in West chester PA we call these creatures "EtherMoths" for their ability to become ethereal at will. A player once told me that their poison turns a creature ethereal forever, but he hasn't been by our table since then. Wonder what happened to him.

In my campaign we'd been tossing back and forth the whole Craft points bit from UA. I'd like some feed back about it before I put it into my game. Does anyone have any experience with it? Do you feel it is balanced? How has your game changed? Has it made the game any more enjoyable or less...

As a DM, my intelligent Evil Npcs see "Fraidy Cat" Pcs as weak links. When possible, they will try to pick them off or seperate them from the party. If characters staying to the rear of combats is a problem, perhaps you should evaluate your tactics. Tigers attack the "rear" of a herd, your...

For a little while now I've had all my high use books in bookcovers known as "Booksox". They are decent fabric based covers in various prints and solid covers. (You want to go with the "large size") For example, my MM is in one that has gargoyles on it. They don't look as nice as the old...

Looking for gamers (D&D 3.5, d20, etc) in the West Chester area of PA. (USA) Just moved into area and not too familiar with local gaming community. Basically just looking to see what's going on in the area, maybe get a few games going. Drop me a line at cyrusduane@yahoo.co.uk.
