Understandable, and you're not the first person I've heard say this. I admit that my ability to enjoy such elements in a game plot is born of privilege to have not been the target of racism or worse in real life. I make use of safety tools in my games — stuff like Consent in Gaming and Entreat...

Oh, hey! I colored and labeled this. It's fun to see it pop up in the wild! :giggle: (The original b&w illustration is by Vince Locke, from the Living Greyhawk Gazetteer for 3rd Edition, 2000) I think in regards to a Greyhawk setting book, I'd like to see the principles of Arcanist Press's...

Greyhawk was the setting of the first D&D game I ever played (1st edition AD&D, in the early 80s), and those sessions set my mental template for how to run the game. When I was in art school in the early 2000s I ran a short-lived D&D 3.5 campaign called Pirates of the Aerdi Sea which fell apart...

I was originally planning to run the same thing last weekend, but we went with a Microlite20 version of Mike Mearls' Looking Glass Deep, instead. I did make pregen characters for Tomb of Horrors, though. I went to The Pathology Guy's D&D 3.5 Character Generator to make them. It includes a...

I'd definitely be careful with this. Apocalyptic endings can be fun and all, but your players may feel cheated or otherwise dissatisfied if they feel as though everything they've done has been for nothing, and that they leave no legacy behind. Here's an idea, going with the possibility that...

I'm firmly in the 75% Roleplaying crowd, as is my old gaming group. This is what I'm happiest with, though occasionally I'll want to get more of an action movie feel or I'll get frustrated with trying to figure out the party's next step (as much as I love to roleplay, I'm slow on the uptake...

There's also the route of the military leader (or potentially so). Aren't there a number of feats having to do with leadership abilities and the like? I know that there are in some third-party supplements...

Hello, everyone; first post here, so forgive me if this has already been answered. I didn't see it addressed anywhere. When giving skill ranks to characters/NPCs, how do you know how many ranks to give to reflect a certain level of proficiency? A lot of RPGs will give you some idea of scale...
