    Help me choose a great module

    I'll be running an adventure module for a group of friends and I need some help choosing a good one. Here's the criteria: AD&D, AD&D 2ed, or 3ed Set in Greyhawk, FR, or generic (not set anywhere in particular) Can be finished in 6-12 hours (definitely not more than 18 hours) Mix of hack &...

    Ah! Tarrasque!

    Create an illusion of a Tarrasque, have it "attack you", and then kill it. Maybe the Evil Ruler won't bother looking into the cave and seeing the real one. Or if he does, cast dimensional anchor and wake the Tarrasque. Once it starts attacking him, join in on the fun.

    Confusion with Commoners. Damn Peasants! :P

    I think it's a little more complicated than that. First, you have to determine what levels mean in your game. For example, in your game if a guard spends his whole life as a guard, is he 7th level? 5th level? 10th level? IMC, the guard would only reach 3rd-4th level after an entire...

    Planet names of Settings

    Here's two reasons why my homebrew world is a planet: 1) It's simply easier this way. I don't have to figure out how physics would work with a flat (or otherwise non-spherical) world and I don't want the gods to "will it so". 2) It makes the world more like our planet and therefore brings a...

    HELP - I love beautifully crafted maps but...

    Nah. I'd go with Digital Map Projection as well. There's really no comparison...well there is...but everything else is a poor substitute for a DLP hanging from your ceiling. And just think about how fun it will be when those 3D printers become available to the general public...need a...

    Who do you game with?

    Do you game with friends, coworkers, random people?

    Planet names of Settings

    The way I feel about it is if our moon is not a moon, then whatever IS a moon needs to have a different name to call itself. Moon is already taken by whatever our moon IS.

    Ah! Tarrasque!

    How about you cast stone shape to make a downward slope...add in a couple grease spells, open a gate at the end...and give it a little nudge. Hopefully it will stay sleeping as it slides through the gate.... or if it wakes up, create an illusion of a hot girly Tarrasque walking through the...

    Planet names of Settings

    Here's a planet question for you. Let's say you had a binary star system with a yellow sun like ours revolving with a black hole. Then you had a planet revolving around the both of them. First, is this physically possible? Would the planet be forced into a highly elliptical orbit? What...

    Ah! Tarrasque!

    I completely agree with several other people here. Kill the Guy-In-Charge. There's a couple reasons why you should do this: 1) He will very likely be FAR easier to defeat. Even if he is an epic level wizard, a nice surprise attack should do him in. 2) Anyone who would encourage a Tarrasque...

    Discontinuity: 3e and D&D

    Hmm... I started with AD&D 2ed so I can't really say what tactical movement was like prior to that edition. However, you brought up an interesting point that supports my position. In earlier editions, many people did not follow the rules precisely (possibily because the rules were confusing...

    Discontinuity: 3e and D&D

    You must not have a BMW with iDrive or a Benz with COMMAND... pain in the arse. Power doors, power seats, power windows, chipsets, all this stuff is great until it breaks. I'd say one of the major differences is the introduction of tactical movement. While all editions have some measure of...
