Just throwing this out there: a part of the difficulty with some of these spells (i.e. teleport, raise dead, commune, and plane shift) is that they extend the use of magic beyond the short range, tactical (i.e. combat or combat related) to regional/world/multiverse, which eventually defines the...

Definitely agree on the book (haven't seen the movie). It would make an interesting one-shot with more than one opponent (i.e. two factions of German soldiers in addition to the supernatural adversary). I'd worry only one opponent would get dull unless the adversary has flunkies or traps (or...

Digital Projection along with Claudio Poza's counters from Fiery Dragon. I can create a map in NWN or double click on an existing JPG in less time than it would take to scribble a few battle mat lines and then try to explain what the squiggles mean. However, portability and cost are factors...

In The 6 Elements campaign, I decided to make the weather / environment fairly harsh: it's a tropical world, so for a fair portion of the day, anyone traveling needs to make Fortitude saves hourly (or every 10 minutes on occasion), for example. My players have all commented that it adds another...

This might not be what you're looking for, but I use an Excel spreadsheet that autocalculates NPCs and critters. The way it's set up, you can create three NPC cards per page: I print em' and cut them out to use as initiative cards: i.e. track my bad guys stats/HPs/etc. and the initiative of the...

Completely agree: nice variations, very well done, overall extremely useful. I'd give it a 10 out of 10. :)

Thanks! I'll download the Freedom Force demo and see if I can check it out. I wonder if Grand Theft Auto has a module creator? :)

...since it went bye-bye in the big EN World crash, here's the link to some pictures of my digital projector set-up with pictures from a few early adventures: http://www.the6elements.com/us/#digital Does anyone have any suggestions (other than Dundjinni) for good maps for a modern campaign...

Act 2 Zahkura borrowed the candle from Lyra and lit small fires in six pots: each burned a flame of a different color (dark charcoal, reddish, blue, a silvery flame, gray, and a pure white flame). They were arranged in a circle at one end of the cave in front of a rough sketching on the cave...

Act I Six rowboats moved closer to shore. A slender elven woman in flowing blue robes sat in one of the rowboats, taking a precious moment to watch as Kinipela's Flight quickly started moving away from her. For a brief moment, she felt as if her last connection to home was leaving her, and...

Author's Note: This story hour is written through an online blog our gaming group creates after each adventure to summarize the adventure. We use a digital projector for maps and visual aids as well.

Zahkura tended the fire on the first day after the receding of the storms—common enough during The Month of Arrival and inconvenient for those who traveled to Mivilious to seek guidance from the Oracle. For the entire month, at least when the weather allowed, the Mious tended a fire on the...

Hmmm...I wonder does a "bolt of raw magical energy" do none, quarter, half, or full damage to materials? Is it affected by hardness? I hadn't thought of taking this ability, but this thread has me thinking about it a bit more... :)

Howdy! I use to live in Mt. Clemens (until 1990) and these days am in Brighton (lived in Ann Arbor until a couple of years ago) and if it wasn't such a drive, would dive on the chance to play, Waite. I've been jonsing to get into a game but there's not much in my neck of the woods, unfortunately.

I've been playing Iron Heroes with the variable armor DR system (in which it doesn't provide any AC boost, although shields still do and do not add any DR). I found that the characters generally got fairly chewed up; more so than if we would have had the AC instead of the DR. Which isn't to...

Bakers dozen. Word up. :)

Just got our BenQ 6240 today (whole gaming group pitched in) and it looks great! Projects a larger image than I expected (much to my surprise) as well. I'll be working with one of my players to set up a mounting rig for it over the holidays and will put together a picture of it in action (we...

Steel Wind, Thanks again! Bummer about the time frame but better they debug and have it right rather than cause the program to crash.

Steel Wind, Slightly projector related question: I'm looking at how to use my laptop in conjuction with a mapping program and am playing around with the Aurora toolset. I understand that (unfortunately) only one tile set is usable at a time, but I can't seem to figure out how to add new...

Thanks again - I'll probably end up getting a laptop as well so will definitely check out Dell. With 10 days off for x-mas and New Year's, my hope is to order and install then to give myself plenty of time to experiment with the beast before our campaign kick off in January. Thanks!!! :)
