How about having a mischievous wizard cast an illusion over one of the characters making them appear to flicker into the form of a doppelganger and then back to their actual appearance while talking to an important/powerful NPC. Just try to convince them you're not an assassin now!

Thanks Frank.. when printed at 300dpi it is the proper size. I attached the photoshop file above. For people without access to Photoshop, I'd be more than happy to send anyone a pdf of their character as a paper mini if they want to email me an image to use. I would love to make a range of...

I just realized that the board accepts psd attachments, so here's the file. I've found it helps with stability to cut a 1" square out of heavy cardstock (or a businesscard) to attach this paper mini to after folding. Place a washer, coin, etc between the cardstock and the tabs of the mini to...

Oh man I had never seen those! Fantastic stuff! OH NO!! NOT... THE TARRASQUE CREATURE!! I hear it prowls on its hind legs!! (also known as the Kanga-Turtledog)

haha! just saw an ad and was coming back to say this very thing. great minds, and all that. Although, I can't imagine how much $$ that license would be...not to mention all of the WotC staff would jump out the window at the idea of having to make sense of Meyers' world.

ajanders suggestion is great. Everyone wins.. you get a plot, the players get to feel like they really accomplished something great

Maybe a mind flayer has been brought near the surface and has a doppelganger it sends out to do its bidding. Mind flayers AND doppelgangers? Fun!

If the stone's purpose is to further chaos, maybe it's also drawn some doppelgangers to the town.. they are always fun (for the DM, anyway:P) They could serve as a good way to have an "insider"..someone the PCs met and liked who is then replaced.

The how-to part is really quite amazing to read through. And she deserves even more kudos as this is the first project of the type she's ever undertaken

I'd definitely like to hear more..sounds like you're off to a fun start! From personal experience, especially as a first-time DM, you'll want to make sure you have enough planned out so that you don't hit a point where you have to totally wing it and potentially create headaches for yourself...

Ongoing campaigns I generally have set so only those participating can view (a nice feature easily set up in the page management section) but here's one for a Council of Thieves campaign that only lasted a few sessions. The layout isn't exactly as it is in the template but should give an idea of...

Heck yeah! Grandma's Iron Hammer of Galunding descends in a flash of magical power, crushing the mind flayer's skull..the contents of which explode in a blast of sticky purple goo! Sorry little Timmy, but she couldn't get that done before the illithid had sucked your brain out. Dungeons and...

Oh I know this isn't.. was just saying I'm surprised that they haven't done something like that. With stylized minis maybe a little more kid-friendly. I love this little module and I'm going to try to run it for my niece Sarah this weekend.

Hey all, if anyone is interested in a Photoshop template to make paper minis just let me know. When folded in half and then out at the bottom you end up with a 1-inch base. If there's any interest I'd be more than happy to make other sizes as well.

haha! I love the smell of minis in the morning

I think that being a "geek" these days is much cooler than being a "geek" in the 80s was

In working on a character's backstory, I came up with an idea I wanted to run by y'all and maybe get some feedback on to try and polish it up. Here's the character, named Isegrim Valko.. BACKSTORY Isegrim is a large man, standing 6’4” tall and weighing in at about 250lbs. Thick black hair...

I'm a little surprised the big marketing push for that age bracket didn't come in the form of a specialized minis game. The key to making money off of kids in that age range is having something they will nag mom for at Wal Mart

Was just talking about this very thing in our game. I always create these intricate backstories for my character, occasionally involving their weapon. It's always a shame an seems a little awkward to have this personally valuable weapon that gets tossed aside when the first +1 item shows up...

I know, right? It's like you're walking around in there
