Thanks wedgeski and Gilladian, and thanks Hand of Evil for the salt mines link - I had in mind a salt mine story at some point and that'll be an excellent resource!

I wanted a blog full of underground wonder, urban exploration, ruins both modern and ancient, maps, traps, speculation, fantasy, and inspiration. Like BLDGBLOG but exclusively in a subterranean domain. I want a subterranean design blog. I couldn't find one, so I had to start one. It's meant...

Hi James, I'm glad you like Abulafia - I'm Dave and I maintain it. Is it OK with you to republish some of your work there? Also, your derivative Taverns work is totally within bounds, but your link to Abulafia is wrong (you have random-generators, it's at random-generator). I've enjoyed...

If I'm understanding you correctly, you want it to remember things it has generated and be able to reference them later, or be able to associate data for later use with generated results? It can't do that (for now), although the program that inspired me, Tablesmith, can do that kind of thing...

Wow - that's awesome! I like the idea of what that could produce, but am having difficulty designing a contest that captures the collaborative (as opposed to strictly competitive) spirit I want to have at Abulafia. Plus, crazy couple of weeks on the horizon at work - let me get back to you soon...

I'm honored - looks like my hosting is having a little trouble keeping up, but I'm looking into the problem.

Recent additions: Random Fantasy Plot (by Bill White) Fantasy Character Concept Both could use more additions!

Thanks for contributing, silvermane, and welcome!

Hey, I made this for my own use and thought i'd share. It's a modification of mediawiki that makes it into a user-extensible random generation utility - like Tablesmith, but online and shared across the community. Here's what you do: Start at Abulafia's Main Page and read the intro. Go to a...

So that you can have 1d4+1 dancing T-Rexes, but only within 30' of your grig and only until your grig expires?

Here is the list of possibilities for Summon Nature's Ally 9: Elemental, elder Grig [NG; with fiddle] (sprite) Pixie* (sprite) [NG; with sleep and memory loss arrows] Unicorn, celestial charger My question is, why is there a CR 1 creature (the grig) on this list? Even with the fiddle (which...

Well, SK is the more recent source, and it requires instead Ability Focus (Poison), which presumably has the same effect of increasing the DC, but with a more generalized feat to cover it.

One way I would describe it is that when an enemy sees you impale and drop the guy next to him, you take advantage of his momentary distraction to thrust at him. Not as cooly visceral as slashing through a guy into the next, but if that's the imagery your player wants, he'll be using a slashing...

I wasn't questioning whether it was permitted in the rules, I was questioning whether it would lead anyone at the table to enjoy the game more. Your solution sounds reasonable to me, if in fact people are having less fun because of the "unbelievability" of 'chunky' advancement at every level...

Sorry this is thread drift at this point, but um, how exactly is that going to make everybody at the table have more fun? By introducing a headache of bookkeeping for the DM and a convoluted system that penalizes players for coming to your game instead of another? Maybe, just maybe, your...
