Thanks. I always thought the d20 rules for survival checks were way too generous, but some players come to depend on it without taking any sort of realism into account.

With this in mind, does anybody know of any rules regarding depletion of resources for an area? My players wanted to start a community and support it with hunting and gathering until they got a more permanent system of agriculture and herding established. As the community grew larger, they...

Necromancer's City of Brass came out quite a while ago and can be found on pdf here: The City of Brass - Necromancer | EN World PDF Store It's a pretty cool product and you get a lot of content for the money.

There's an old Dungeon Magazine adventure named "The Siege of Kratys Freehold" that featured a humanoid army besieging a small fortified town. I really like that it gives detailed information regarding how party actions modify the defenses of the town. I don't have my magazines with me right...

Would you say that a worg being a magical beast with an above animal-level intelligence (6) makes a difference? I argued that a worg is smart enough to know its own limitations and, since it doesn't act on instinct alone, is smart enough to dig its nails into the tree to get leverage. It...

Here is the situation: The players are being attacked by a pack of goblin worg riders. The PCs climb the nearest tree and start shooting their crossbows down at the goblins. The goblins respond by dismounting and returning fire with their crossbows, while letting their worgs climb the tree for...

There's always this as well: Ssethregore: In the Coils of the Serpent Empire by Paradigm Concepts Link Even if you're not running in Arcanis, it can be useful.
