Someone upthread mentioned that they, and their group, weren't impressed by the names in Eberron. This is a riff off that, inspired by one of the folks in my current group. The name of the world is Toril; the name of the setting is "Forgotten Realms." The name of the world is Athas; the name of...

A moment of contemplation: Tough Hero. Well, that makes Drive and Craft (mechanical) into class skills, so that's an advantage. Taking the Blue Collar background gives Repair and a +1 to one of the other two. That gives you "good with cars." If you want to be better than that, there are the...

1. PicNicCon VI is in Andover this year, after last year's adventure in Malden. 2. Put me down as a tentative? If I have the time and an appropriate ride, I'll be there -- and I can give a second run to whatever I end up running at PC6. :)

Does he? I thought he was just the Master of Kung-Fu, like it said in the title. I know Iron Fist had powers....

It's tricky, because certain characters have been retroactively "given" superpowers by some authors and then had them summarily removed by others once they became inconvenient. I'm going to go with characters who were defined as "mortal men (and women" at their creation. Martial Artist Types...

One of the campaign settings that I'm proudest of was an Arabian fantasy setting for 3e. Had its roots in Al Qadim, but grew from there. When developing the various niches for the races, I decided to assign them to analogues of medieval/chivalric Earth cultures. The heartland setting was...

*bows* I aim to please, sir. Address was sent via private mail.

*disappointed* So it's not a guide to heavy-set drag queens?

You know, that's actually one of the solutions I had in mind. Great minds and all that. Thanks for the independent confirmation of our mutual brilliance ;)

Finally reached critical mass (four interested players) for an AU chronicle, and have begun the character generation stage. It's going fairly well -- we've got a decent mix of character concepts, and the players are eager. I'm having a bit of trouble with one, though, and I figured I'd ask the...

The cellphone? Gotta be "Deadringer."

I'm looking for good ideas to incorporate in creating a Racial Paragon structure for the Vistana (and, by extension, the half-Vistana) in Ravenloft. I imagine that there'll probably be one +1 spellcaster level, and that the half-V paragon will be able to use Divided Ancestry, but I could use...

None so far, nor any volunteers from Organized Play.

Umbran has the right idea. Accepted submissions will be posted on the site soon.

I am that friend. I do know about what happened last year, much to my own dismay. And I have gotten assurances that I can make this offer in good faith this year. To wit: If you submit three or more hours of gaming programming by January 2nd to me at gaming@arisia.org or werther@hilander.com, I...

I know this is going to sound terribly nitpicky, but, hey. I'll take that hit. In D&D, your sorcerous power is based on your Charisma. Paranoid, socially-backward people tend to have low Charismas. This doesn't prevent the dazzlingly charming sociopath, but it tends to keep the paranoids at bay.

Nothing beats Tasha's (Uncontrollable) Hideous Daughter.

I can assert that this statement is incorrect. http://www.goldrushgames.com/ is still live, for one thing....

Paging through the d20 Menace Manual and found the following: 1. Somebody in layout loves the legal profession. On pages 101-2, you can find stat blocks for low-, mid-, and high level Attorneys. Then, on pages 113-114, you can find identical stats for low-, mid-, and high-level Lawyers. 2. In...
