What is the most balanced version of th artificer for 3.5?I am willing to look at 3rd party and homebrew as well as official stuff. This would be for a Drakkenheim campaign in 3.5, if it matters.

Thanks, everyone! This gives me a good basis to start working on. I'm going to read up in Libris Mortis (I have a copy I had forgotten all about!). And from there I'll just do what seems to work at the time.

Is there a rule of thumb (or a list) for determining which undead are sunlight phobic? I mean, skeletons and zombies seem fine in the light of day, but what about wights, shadows, and such? Is it as easy as saying incorporeal undead all fear sunlight? But vampires are not incorporeal, so that...

And the time thing - we NEVER applied it to games that were left in mid-scene. But anytime you ended a session in a “down” state, real time applied.

Yup. Thinking about people I knew in the mid 80’s, every one that I knew and gamed with then, whom I still know today, either is still playing, or would play given a chance.

Our putative schedule is weekly Sunday afternoons. For the last couple months we have had 1 and 2 week gaps between every session. Played last week, will miss this upcoming week, then maybe get back on a more even schedule. This group’s core 3 (of 5, usually) have been together for 25 years.

My definition of a campaign is a series of interconnected adventures involving some or most of the same players and characters, in a mostly contiguous string of events, such that a more-or-less coherent “story” emerges. Also, meta- the PCs do not begin over at starting level. New PCs integrate...

I usually run games in my own campaign world. My current campaign is about a year and a half old. The PCs are nearing 10th level - this is quick and high level advancement for me, as I generally dislike high level play… but the players asked for it. They are now entering a city of the undead, on...

I write everything either in my wiki or as a text document. After every adventure I transcribe any necessary info into the wiki. Since I run about 80% of my campaigns in my own world, this means I am always growing my world lore and history. After 30 years, there is a lot of content! PB wiki has...

That was my first character EVER! Stung to death. It was a saga!

I started my wiki a long time ago, and yet I still have areas that are bare-bones! Anyway, yes, I would say 90% is player-facing, including my campaign writeups. And no, they rarely read it. But it IS an excellent historical document, and I often use it to refresh my memory on things that...

I play in person but with my iPad at hand. I have a PBwiki that is about 15 years old at this point. I keep all my notes there, or in an online calendar with a link back to the wiki. I compose most of my adventures in textedit and then copy-paste to the wiki. This makes editing and adding notes...

I have almost finished the dwarf outpost, but this week my PCs demonstrated a strong desire to reverse direction and leave the underdark… they are 8th level, but a group of 14 dwarves, whom they have the drop on(!) have them intimidated. Ugh!

centipede worshipping cultists captured loggers

Evil deep dwarf city - the PCs hate these dwarves, who are invading their barony, allied with the evil ruler next door. The dwarves have acidic weapons, and worship an evil god of trickery. Their human enemies worship an undead god. I know why the two groups are allied, but have no idea what the...

I hope you got my message - I got like 2 hours sleep Friday night and was a zombie all day. Not much better today, honestly. I hope we can figure out the problem soon...

I am a forever DM. I put 3-5 hours a week into the current campaign, and on top of that, I have 3 other campaign worlds with “some building” done on my wiki. I will put 3-4 hours into one of them here or there, sort of randomly, every few months. Sometimes I will get inspired and work longer...

I run my own, fairly unique Homebrew, so converting any module requires some work. Converting gods, fitting history elements in, renaming EVERY NPC, retailoring treasure hauls, writing new hooks, and sometimes even converting the environment all take a fair amount of effort. But I enjoy doing...

Inplan to be there!

Ok. Next week!
