    Is Slave Pits of the Undercity a well-designed adventure module?

    I must say, I absolutely loved this adventure. I have run it in every edition (other than 3.5) of DnD including Skills&Powers 2.5 characters. If the DM runs it well, the party will enjoy it. If the DM runs it poorly, then the players will not enjoy it. This can be said for any module. If...

    can this strategy be stopped?

    If we are splitting hairs on an attack, drop a wall of stone or iron on him. No attack roll, not a spell since it is permanent once cast. Even if he is invuln to the damage, he is still held under a multi-ton block of stone/iron. Unless his strength is rather high he isn't going anywhere...

    If you find someone violating the Open Game License . . .

    If it was one of our products that was missing part of the section 15, I would want to be contacted so that we could make the appropriate corrections. If it was one of our products that was not being sited and the offending party did not make the corrections, I would want to be contacted so...

    Trick or treat: 50 best horror films of all time

    Bleh. The list is just bad. Evil Dead is a great movie. It, however, is NOT a great horror movie. The list left off things like Ametyville Horror (original), Arachniphobia (maybe), The Omen, etc. This list even fails at a list of "gore" since some of those movies aren't even that gorey...

    Small Publishers on RPGNow

    Morrus, thank you for not deleting this thread. If it had not shown up I would not have known about this discussion at all (at least not for another week at least). I am a small publisher at RPGNow. My partner is the contact, but we both have new babies and lives outside of e-publishing. As...

    Oops... PCs too strong.

    You could always go with one of my dirty tricks: Hasted, illusioned rust monsters to look like trolls. Throw in a stoneskin or the like and these puppies should remove most of that broken gear. Make them the beasts controlled by some evil wizard and let the wizard just buff his pets. Add...

    Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince-SPOILERS!!!!

    Did anyone else notice that after Kreecher and Dobey came back from spying on Malfoy that Harry told Dobey to relax and that he was done, but never told Kreecher to stop following Malfoy?

    Official Nostalgia Thread (thread necromancy)

    You didn't have "official" dice so you rolled 4d6 and subtracted 4. All weapon damage used some combination of d6's and subtraction math.

    I Need Staying Power

    The 16 dex is more than you will need. You would be better served dropping it lower and increasing your con. FullPlate only lets you use 1 point of it. If you are not going the full plate route, then you will have a very tough time at higher levels since your AC will cap much lower than it...

    What kind of Sales can you expect from PDF?

    Yeah, PoD sales are real slow, but the ones through RPGNow are really nice. At least our's turned out nice. Most people just don't buy PoD.

    A little thing called Generating Reviews.

    I don't have any trouble with you shipping the Alea stuff out for reviews. The only thing that might be on you plate from us is "MindCraft", though I'm not sure if Josh sent it to you yet.

    I Need Staying Power

    Why is your con stat only a 10 after modifiers? That is REALLY low for a "tank" class. You need ------------ Full Plate Large Shield Dex 12 Ring of Protection Cloak of Displacement, greater Boots of Speed

    Why PDF vs .doc?

    PDF gives a "universal" viewing format. What I write is what you see. There are caveats where some viewers, free and old, don't display documents correctly. The PDF also, in theory, removes the worry of viruses spreading. You can download PDF fearlessly. For linux PDF viewing there is XPDF...

    3.X DM for a 1E party

    The 1st Ed. initiative wasn't that bad. Most people ignored weapon speed, though most kept casting time. Everyone rolled every round. Start low and count up. The Thac0 chart actually matches up pretty (on average) well with the class bonuses of 3rd Ed., only in chart form. IIRC, the...

    Public Domain Images - What's the deal?

    Happy Birthday was not Copyrighted until 1935 IIRC, when it was published as part of a copyrighted compilation book. It doesn't matter when it was written. It is the date of copyright and first publication in its current form that determine expiration date. You can take a public domain item...

    D&D 4E 3rd-Party Publishers' Thoughts on 4E

    As a 3rd party publisher, we would continue to support 3.5 as long as it remained "profitable" and we could viably playtest rules that we released. I do not want to support an older version, or any version, without proper playtesting and editing.

    Is advancement in 3.X D&D too SLOW?

    The leveling at higher levels slows down a LOT. Combats take longer, so you get fewer in per session. This means it might take 8-14 sessions to level. If you are gaming every week, thats one level every 2-3 months. Rather slow. Your OD&D would drive me insane averaging one level per year...

    Celestial Armor not made of mithral?

    It wasn't mithril in 3.0 by the book description. However, if you figured up the cost to make it, it was obviously priced as if it was made from mithril.

    Questions about Public Domain

    Check Project Guttenberg for specific copyright free works. They have done the legal work for you (IIRC). This does not mean that they are not Trademarked, which is its own confusing animal (worse than Copyright), but only covers specific areas. Btw, SHerlock Holmes is only trademarked in...

    Uber Tanks

    I've run 2 tanks recently that were very effective. A Human PsiWarrior with light armor and a Dwarf Cleric. PsiWarrior worked off of a Displacement principle. 50% of all attacks miss AFTER you hit my AC. The high level you are, the more frequently your AC will be struck, thus the 50% rule is...
