    Do you have a minute?

    Haha, just kidding. It would take more like a few hours. But I wanted to share with EN World my campaign setting. It is here: Caitonia | Obsidian Portal I get comments on the ideas I come up with, and thought that if I share them, if it helps anyone with their own campaign, that would be a...

    N00b DM Questions

    Thanks for a ll the replies guys! I have decided to just leave horses out for now, at least for the PCs. I talked to some of the players and they seemed to think there was no need for them at this point in the game. They will show up eventually, but only as boss battles or other important...

    What Are Your Best Battle Tactics?

    ^ Well, we have two sorcerers in our party, and none of them have taken/used Fireball yet. Also, what can THEY do to combat my invisibility? (Besides have a pet with tremorsense.) Is there a way to combat an invisible, floating mage that keeps summoning creatures?

    What Are Your Best Battle Tactics?

    ^ Oh, they are definitely not an inexperienced group. In fact, the reason why I'm asking is because some of them have 10+ years playing and I have....8 months.

    What Are Your Best Battle Tactics?

    Hi Playas! I am setting up an arena type battle scenario, and wanted to know what battle tactics I should use as a level 5 sorceress? The party consists of a Cleric, Fighter, Rogue, Swashbuckler, and Sorceress, all level 4. Ideally, there will be henchmen accompanying the main baddie, but I...

    My Gift To En World - The Tissue Box Tavern!

    There are some really great ideas coming out in this thread! And as pointed out to me in one of the rep comments, you guys have got to check out worldworksgames.com That is some hard core stuff!! Personally, I did it all in Adobe Photoshop, although, with a bit of difficulty, you could...

    My Gift To En World - The Tissue Box Tavern!

    Yeah, it probably did level me up. Thanks for all the exp guys! :) Yeah, you can definitely use glue as well. However, I just used tape because it is faster, and basically, the tavern picture then just becomes a sleeve - one you can remove to turn it into a different type of building. And the...

    My Gift To En World - The Tissue Box Tavern!

    Hi En World, I had a lot of spare time this Christmas season, and decided to enhance my D&D 3.5e game with some home brew buildings. I decided that the lowly tavern - a staple in almost all RPG games - would be the best thing to make, seeing as how many adventures start off in a tavern. It is...

    It's the little things

    Other homebrew things I've come up with.... Soul Gems - These gems are highly valuable, and actually sparkle like a rainbow. Think of a jewel sparkling many different colors very quickly - enough to bother those with epilepsy. These are valuable because they can be used to make armor and...

    It's the little things

    If you're looking for absolutely specific things, some of the drinks they find in taverns are called: Buddy Ale - Everyone loves Buddy Ale! It's the drink you give to a friend, or a friend's friend. No one drinks Buddy Ale alone - for doing so is illegal. Lurid Liquor - This silky, bluish...

    N00b DM Questions

    Alright, I have never had a Paladin play extensively in my campaign before, but at 5th level, they get their mount. What sort of dynamic does this change for battles? As a DM, does giving the party difficult battles become more challenging because of the horse?

    N00b DM Questions

    Finally, the last of the horses, and this is where I am going to ask for suggestions... The girl is riding on a Golden Horse. I was thinking of having this horse be a horse that likes shiny objects and is a "treasure hunter" type horse. Having this horse around will give you more loot, that...

    N00b DM Questions

    Ok, more questions, this time having to do with horses. I have looked through the section on riding skills as seen on d20srd. (Ride :: d20srd.org) There were some things I liked about it, and some I didn't. In short, I thought there wasn't a whole lot of stuff written about horses. Now, I...

    One Thing You Can Do to Become a Better DM

    Really great stuff here! I'm fairly new to DMing, but one thing I find works well, and has been sort of mentioned above, is accents. Take an hour, go onto YouTube, and learn how to speak in a French, Russian, Czech, Italian, or any other accent. It will help with characterization, and even if...

    N00b DM Questions

    I've been looking at feats lately. I only have the Player's Handbook, but I was wondering, is there such thing as a "Dragon Slayer" feat? In Final Fantasy 11, Dragoons do extra damage to dragons. When a party is going up against a dragon, they really like having Dragoons in their party. I'm...

    N00b DM Questions

    I am a lucky fellow! One of my best friends is visiting Vietnam in early December, and so she and I decided to exchange gifts early for Christmas. Well, she is not a geek at all, but ended up getting me the Dark Sun 4e Creature Catalog and the Pathfinder Bestiary. She ordered them off Amazon a...

    Cleric Purify Food and Water Vs Seawater question

    I'm a newbie DM, but if a player wanted to "purify" a person, essentially killing them, I would tell the player, ok then, if you want to do this, then other low level clerics would have this ability as well. Do you want the party (even at high level) to potentially be killed off by low level...
