Are they in electronic form anywhere? I use to have the print copy of the FR Atlas, but that was ages ago (probably sold by now anyway). I'd really like to have maps I could tweak in Photoshop as needed and then print for the players (possibly using layers so that each player would get a...

Thanks again - those are an interesting selection (could be useful to use real world maps for inspiration)! :) Anyone else have recommendations? I'm looking for something like what you might find with a gaming product (such as the map of Waterdeep, as an example) and a selection for a...

Thanks for the suggestion! Actually I've downloaded and tweaked their maps on occasion as well, including the online library of maps. I have the full CC2 product and add-ons, although I fine it very time consuming to use for the creation of city maps from scratch even though it does make some...

I hate mapping. :) I'm looking for a resource, either free or paid, that has a variety of city maps in electronic format (preferably so I can add my own city names, street names, etc.). I already use WotC's site as well as any web enhancements from Dungeon, but I'm looking for any additional...

Watching might be interesting from a technical stand point ("How does this DM handle situations differently and how can I use it to improve my own game?") but I suspect boring for a newcomer or typical spectator. I've had a couple of non-gamers sit in a few times in the past to see what it was...

LOL!

I think it varies quite a bit with the indiviudal player as well as the DM, but it seems that the Cleric (and perhaps Druid) really shine even more with every suppliment published, since new spells (unless house ruled by the DM) are instantly available to them where as wizards require...

Great & interesting ideas...am planning on borrowing them as well. :)

There were a couple in the metro Detroit area and I found that while their pricing wasn't competitive (standard MSRP for everything), they had a good selection of non-WotC boardgames in addition to getting WotC products in quickly. Pricing hurt them the most: I tend to buy most of my d20...

My players tend to like in depth histories, so in that respect a new character is usually quite a bit of additional work for me to take on helping with the history, finding ways to weave them into existing plots or come up with new ones, etc. I don't make adventures / plots completely dependent...

Nifty site, just too busy for my tastes - didn't get past the front page. :(

I've had a few character end up in the gullet of creatures when I've DM'd and it wasn't terrible or great: I don't mind the mechanics as is as in the few cases, the creature was dead by the time the swallowed character cut itself free. The idea of a T-Rex devouring the same character several...

Go ahead and bite (you're all there to game, right?) and after the adventure, give some constructive feedback to the newbie DM and (hopefully) help them improve next time. DM's job is hard enough as it is: not every DM, especially one new to the game, is going to hit a home run everytime.

I'm not sure if this is what you're looking for, but: Results of questions typically asked by divinations (such as Commune and Legend Lore), as well as what major NPCs are protected from them (such as with Mind Blank) Results of using magic to travel significant distances (via Teleport, Wind...

My pleasure. Possible your audience here is a little more use to email interactions and a little more forgiving than the typical consumer would be (just my opinion), but I thought your initial email was respectful. Even if someone on the other end took it as a criticism (rather than...

Having worked in sales for 10+ years and had to deal with angry customers on occasion (thankfully not too often), I'm in 100% agreement - the person who responded (perhaps the website designer with a thin skin?) absolutely should have given a better response to a customer, whether current or...

Ditto. If someone delays/readies, I give them their card to hold on to. I usually announced who is "on deck" as well to help the players get ready and keep things moving (if someone doesn't know what they are doing, I give them their card and they are automatically delaying until they figure...

When I first started DMing (about 20 years ago), I ran and adventure for a friend of mine in which his tough as nails, ass-kicking warrior was defeated by... ...sigh... Giant squirrels. Not a high point as DM or for the player.

Ah...I totally blanked on checking the WotC site - plenty of good ideas there! Thank you very much! :)

Can anyone recommend some good resources for adventures for Star Wars d20? (I'm looking for canned modules, not inspiration sources). Thanks in advance!
