    Designing a Crystal Sphere

    This thread I like, I've been thinking about this kind of a thing myself.. haven't played the setting since... early -90ties ish. Some thoughts of mine... How big is the Spelljamming scene actually, are there a multitude of vessels constantly in space and do the worlds know about each other in...

    How would you adjudicate rappelling down a string from a flying kite?

    I believe I have seen rapelling gear on some price list sometime, might have been the Equipment Guide or 2ed Aurora's... can't remember. The point being, this kind of gear does not really have to be that complex, like the gear we use today (yeah I'm a climber/instructor too). A harness can be...

    Blind Characters

    Hey man, no offence taken. I asked because I haven't figured out what would be the most sensible solution. As I said earlier, the focus is on roleplaying and as far as illusions go, the other members of the party will still be affected and I don't think it's a problem, really. Furthermore I...

    Blind Characters

    Thanks guys, but to clear it up a bit... The idea here is that it's mostly a roleplaying kind of thing. The character is a somewhat "sterotypically" (not oriental) blind monk in a FR setting hailing from the southern lands of Amn. The player is an excellent roleplayer and is trying out...

    Blind Characters

    Hi. Has anyone ever seen any rules for D&D/D20 on how to handle the situation when a player wants to play a blind character. I've done it myself about 10 years ago in the GURPS system, using "disadvantage" rules and I'm much aware of the "flaws" system from Unearthed Arcana. I wouldn't want to...

    What non-English D&D products do you have?

    I used to have the ancient Dungeons&Dragons basic boxed set in Finnish. Wherever it is now, I can't really remember. I also remember seeing it in Swedish way back in the day, but never owned it. -G

    Running for Less Than Four Players

    I don't really know if any of this helps you but here are some thoughts of mine. I´we found during my last 15+ years as a DM with various gaming groups of 2 or more players is to relax and not try to force the thing. If you only have two players which both want to play a mage, let them, it's...

    DM Writers Block

    I'we found that playing in another campaign with ANY other DM often gives you "enough" time away from your own stories to fill those pesky blanks or blocks. -G

    Whip out your thinkin' caps.... Need ideas! FUN!

    The movie Les Visiteurs was made in 1993 in French but was remade in 2001 for an american audience named Just Visiting. Both movies starred Jean Reno as the lead character, also starring Christina Applegate in the english speaking version. Yeah, I'm a Jean Reno fan. -G

    Free background music for games

    Hi and thanks! The stuff is magnificent, I more or less always have some appropriate music in the background during play as well as during the creative process and these songs definately fill out some blanks in my library. I haven´t had the time to listen to all of the songs but lets just say...

    Marbles.

    Ok, thanx everybody. Here is what our playing group decided to do about it, so I guess this should be moved to the House Rules section from here on. -------- "One bag of marbles emptied into an area 5 foot square, fills the area with adequate coverage to force any creature moving through (at...

    Marbles.

    Hello and help me if you can. Has anybody ever seen a rule or come up with a house rule on how long one bag of marbles when placed in a 5 foot square actually stay in that square thus affecting creatures moving through it? The point is that marbles should not according to physics stay in one...
