    YouTubing "Savage Tide"

    I think I'll take that advice buzz and put something together this weekend. I still haven't taken it apart yet, that will most likely happen this weekend as well. I was hoping to pass it along to another group running through STAP but so far I haven't had any takers over at the Paizo boards...

    YouTubing "Savage Tide"

    I had a couple of days off of work in which I did most of the work. If I did it again (without having to plan everything) I'd guess it would take me around 12-15 hours or so. I did alot of it while watching TV or a movie. I made the ship flooring out of corrugated pole signs (the large signs...

    YouTubing "Savage Tide"

    Thanks. It was actually fun to make. I am sure you knew this already but just in case you didn't there is an entire thread on this subject over at the Paizo boards. The second completed version was just posted today so you should check it out...

    YouTubing "Savage Tide"

    It's always fun to hear how other people's games run. While I didn't shoot a video I did make something for my Savage Tide campaign here at home. http://www.worldaccordingtonick.com/gamingzone/gallery.asp It really helped the session go alot smoother than if I just tried to describe the scene...

    Review of the Dragonlance DVD at Newsarama!

    I rented it today from the Redbox for $1.00. I had fairly low expectations and wasn't disappointed. I read the book but its been about 15 years at least (has the book been out that long?) if my memory is correct. The movie seemed to follow the book from what I remember but I could tell parts...

    D&D 4E A couple of things that suck about the 4e SRD/OGL

    Thanks for the laugh! If I ever decided to have a signature, I think that would be it. 4e has no love for the crappy random dude!

    Which modules you really wanted to run, but didn't get to finish ?

    I wanted to run Age of Worms but chose Savage Tide instead which is going well. I did get to run the Return to the Temple of Elemental Evil and that turned out to be a fun campaign. I'd like to squeeze in the Bastion of Broken Souls in to the end of the Savage Tide game but I'm not sure if I...

    Explain the appeal of critical fumbles to me

    I think my players like them because it gives them a chance to screw up or make a mistake. The other players seem to be more interested in how much the fumbling PC messes up more than the DM most times. I think players really enjoy hard fought battles and having their backs against the ropes-...

    Savage Tide Combat Set Up

    This is from the Scuttlecove adventure which is the 8th installment IIRC. It held up really well though it did wobble a bit. The two "trees" are attached to the 3' x 4' piece of clear plexiglass underneath them with a few screws.

    Savage Tide Combat Set Up

    I have noticed from reading the forums that a few people are running the Savage Tide AP currently. I put something together for the last few sessions that really helped run one of the major combats that I thought I'd share. It wasn't real hard to do but it did take about 12-15 hours to complete...

    D&D 3E/3.5 How do you plan to end your 3E campaign?

    I am currently running the Savage Tide AP so it will end with the battle with Demogorgon. I am still struggling with how I'll handle that battle though. I've always held the view that the demon princes, gods, etc were untouchable for PCs. I suppose I need to deal with that unless I want to end...

    How to stop a druid from wildshaping?

    I agree with the wildshape statement. It doesn't appear that negative levels affect class abilities since they do not involve a die roll or a calculation. They would however reduce the amount of time that could be spent wildshaped because of the "one hour per level" duration. I don't think the...

    How to stop a druid from wildshaping?

    What do people think of this option? It doesn't really cover this under negative levels in the DMG. Since spellcasters don't lose an entire level of spells for each two negative levels they take I don't think it would work this way. I do have a PC druid I'd love to try it on though.

    GENCON 2008 - Who's Going?

    I'll be there again this year with anyone from our home group that wants to come along. Hopefully we'll come down on Wednesday again at least, maybe even Tuesday. It's always a GREAT time.

    DM Burnout - Any Remedies?

    The best thing I ever did was to play in a couple campaigns as a break from DMing. It is amazing how many rules you forget about when you are just playing a character instead of running a campaign! The other thing that seems to matter (at least to me) is the type of game you run. I ran RttToEE...

    Spiked Chain + Great Cleave = DM's Nightmare

    Hopefully they won't start casting enlarge person. The reach created by that one low level spell is ridiculous. I have a player in my campaign that uses this combo every game. To make it even worse he combines it with the thicket of blades stance from Bot9S. Needless to say he wreaks havoc when...

    Talking Lion?

    I have a druid PC in my current campaign who wants to be able to speak while wildshaped as a lion. I know they can use tongues but is there a spell similar to speak with animals but the other way around? Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.

    Daggers are AWESOME!

    Thanks. The build worked really well in that campaign. I forgot to mention another HUGE difference- staggering strike. It worked so well we had to change the feat. IIRC we did 10 + sneak attack dice + ability modifier which seemed to work well. Before we changed it no creatures were making the...

    Daggers are AWESOME!

    My last character used 2 daggers as his primary weapons. IIRC he was a rogue 3/ fighter 2/ swordsage 1/ invisible blade 5/ homemade PrC that basically gave 4 sneak attack dice similar to nightsong enforcer (I think) and some misc bonuses. The few things that helped with the damage were as...
