Chicago - good neighborhood bars (not as good as Netherlands) awesome food. Washington DC. Incredible restaraunts tons of stuff to see. The finger lakes in NY (west of city, east of Rochester). New Orleans- New Orleans is a dung hole. BUT its one of the most fun Dung Holes in the known...

I think making the assumption that dieties grant spells in a "christian" style campaign is an inappropriate model. I don't mean inappropriate as in blasphemy. I mean inappropriate as in you are sticking to an old model of doing things that doesn't fit what you are trying to accomplish. Don't...

I would have to both ideas bump the power level. Which is not a problem if that is the point but I don't see away of attempting this with out making mages more powerful. Again, no big deal if that is the goal you are trying to accomplish. Its one of the nice things about 3E. Its very easy to...

Well my first suggestion would be to put a mechanic in place for divine vs. Arcane magic. I'm not sure what your definitions of divine and arcane magic are but in my campaign I changed Priest's (cleric) spell DC to Cha instead of Wis, because they are spell casting through a force of will and...

Originally by THG Hal I'm in New Tampa off of Bruce B. Downs and I75. My wife and I just moved here form Washington 6 weeks ago. Looking for fellow gamers?

For years and years I hauled all this crap with me when I gamed away from my home and then I realsied just about eveywhere I gamed as much stuff as I did. It was just stupid. So now all I bring is my laptop and a 1" 3 ring binder with my current campaign notes or character. Maybe a case of...

I think multiclassing in 3E is great for enabling some pretty cool character concepts, but doing it too much can definately bite you in the ass. In my campaign I don't use favored class or differing level penalties. It hasn't been a problem because none of my players are power gamers.

My favorite villain for throwing at players in my game is an insane goblin named Zues. I created him back in the late 80s as a ripoff Mojo from the x-men series. He was the stupid little goblin assitant of a powerful evil mage that was experimented on endlessly until he ended up with innate...

I'd say +2 but I tend to be a little on the harsh side. I mean we're talking reach, immunity to certain forms of spells. These can be very decisive things at low level.

Two quick questions from someone just getting ready to jump into the whole campaign website thing? 1) How much traffic should some expect on a gaming geek website dedicated to ones own unoriginal campaign world? I ask because of the whole bandwith thing? 2) I have a domain address, why would I...

I have modified it quite extensively but not because I thaught it didn't work. All my changes are based on my campaign world and the way I want things to work. 70% of the game is still core. the other 30% is just how all that core stuff interacts. This is what I think the biggest strength of...

I have never been a fan of the gnomes. In my campaigns they have either been lesser versions of brownies or other fairies or none existant. In my home brew world (StormWorld) they never existed. I thought for awhile of saying they did exist but were hunted like gophers and slowly tortured to...

Well I moved away from my group so I am solo and lonely these days but when I left our group looked like this; Forgotten Realms game I played in; Skywise F/H Barbarian/Ranger 13/2 Derrick M/H Cleric of Tempus/Crusader of Tempus 8/8 Telrax M/H Wizard/Alienist 8/8 Justinian M/H Cleric of Oghma...

Besides the basic desription in the Druid class description in the PHB, where else can I find info on the animal companion ability? What other books, mags or supplements? Things like Awaken, magical beast, outsider, level requirments things of that nature. I'm trying to get a good unified...

Sigil you took the words right out of my mouth. I tend to spend a lot of time on the overarching plots in my campaign and detail all the very important NPCs and challenges. Everything else gets the SWAG approach to DMing. When you understand the core mechanics well enough it is easy to...

I am in North Tampa near 75 and Bruce B. Downs blvd. Where did you move from?

Torx Ah Clavell. I reread Shogun this spring when I was sick in bed with a hard core virus for a week. Man I loved that book. I keep trying to find it on DVD. On Kitbashing again. I steal from modules as well. I have only run three modules in my life. Shattered Circle, Sunless Citadel and...

I think I'm a very creative guy and a half decent writer. The REALITY is, I'm not and I think most of us that do homebrews are not as "original" as we might think. When I started my homebrew when I was in highschool I really thought I was making something original and new. When I hit college...

Mock people who use published campaign worlds as "tourists". Only allow people to play their own actual race in a game. "The minute you are an elf I'll let you play one". Insist realism is more important than fun and require all your players to understand the evolution of feudalistic societies...
