    Taking suggestions for Dungeons of Doom

    I'd just like to see lots of maps that create interesting environements for combats. Fighting bad guys in a big square room gets old, so I like to change it up a bit- things like fighting in that room with the chasm and rope bridge you mentioned above. I want rooms where people have to use their...

    But does he still play? Lots of people used to play D&D.

    What is the best (most effecient) way to use a laptop while DMing

    I like DM's Familiar a lot. There are other in game aids, like DM Genie and Roleplaying Master, that people tend to really like as well. DM's Familiar has a lot of great features, making it easy to lookup monsters, feats, spells, etc. from a wide variety of sources. The combat management is very...

    Los Angeles area FLGS

    Probably the biggest game store in LA is The Last Grenadier in Burbank on North Hollywood. They aren't always the friendliest people though, so I don't go there. Aero Hobbies generally has a great selection, if you can find what you're looking for. He tends to have some older stuff that is...

    DM Utilities

    That hasn't been my experience. At first, my players were a bit suspicious of the nefarious computer when it would get on a hot streak, but after a few sessions using DM's Familiar, they saw that it all averages out fine, just like dice, but it makes my combat rounds go much faster.

    Mozilla

    I think Firefox really shines with a three button mouse. If I'm looking at something like the general forum, I just middle click on all the threads that look interesting, and they start opening up as tabs in the background as I keep looking for more threads. I feel like it makes reading these...

    Mozilla

    Huh. That's interesting. When I started this thread, I hadn't been able to bring up the main page all day with Firefox, but it worked fine in IE. I would just leave a tab trying to connect, and it would eventually load a blank page and then act like it was done. Anyway, it works now. BTW, are...

    Mozilla

    Firefox is working for me again. Weird. I'm glad, because reading these message boards is much more pleasant with a tabbed browser. Does anyone have another tabbed browser they can recommend that works more consistently here? I tried Opera a couple years ago and wasn't impressed, but it's been...

    Mozilla

    Huh, OK. It's been working fine, and I haven't added any extensions or what not, but that's cool. I guess I'll have to load up regular Mozilla. Thanks for the help

    Mozilla

    Just today, the mainpage stopped loading when I use Mozilla Firefox. It's worked great before, but now I just get a blank white page, so I'm posting this using Internet Exploder, which seems to work fine. Anyone have any ideas? Anybody else seeing this?

    Point Buy

    All stats start at 8. It costs one point to raise a stat every point up to 14, two for 15 and 16, three for 17 and 18. So, a stat of 16 costs 10 points (six to go from 8 to 14, two more to get to 15, and two more to get to 16). The 'standard array' is a 25 point buy with the following stats...

    Best Alternative Magic System for d20

    Monte's Arcana Unearthed uses a variant spell system. It's not very variant, but there are all kinds of interesting things a character can do, like combining two spell slots together to make a spell "laden" for greater effect. I really like his spell template concept. Quintessential Chaos Mage...

    Is the Unearthed Arcana SRD online?

    Indeed, I do see what you mean. Absolutely. I've suspected that for a while, at least since you talked about S&B and how Chris P posted that he'd appreciate it if people didn't just post and give away the whole thing. I inferred that you sympathized with his situation. I've just done a bad job...

    UA Prestige Ranger

    Couldn't a Druid take rapid shot and use it with a sling? Sure, not as good as a bow, but it would meet the requirements, and slings aren't as bad in 3.5 with the STR bonus to damage and all.

    Has Anyone ever played a Doppelganger?

    I really that about the setting- it's got all these fun non-standard races that look like they're pretty balanced against the standard races. FFG does some good stuff. I also like the way they handle legendary PC's, as I've never liked the epic rules.

    Help a returning DM pick a setting

    Yeah, Midnight is really cool, but with the difference magic system and lack of divine magic, it's fairly different than standard D&D. If you want something reasonably close for you first game back, hold off on Midnight. Maybe your second campaign... FR is cool. The FRCS is a great campaign...
