    organization tools?

    DM's Familiar I live and die by this one. It has a "Codex Tree" which does what you seem to be describing. I live and die by this program. When I input my adventure notes into DMF and run from there my games are much faster and more smooth. When I go from notes, "old school" sans computer...

    I'm harsh, but seeking to compansate. Any advice?

    The simple answer is to find a way to give the druids their teeth back. You have taken their muscle for a campaign based reason, give it back for a campaign based reason. The key point here (as I see it) is story. Your story has taken the druids power. User your story to give it back. Use...

    Quick question: how do you make hyperlinks

    or use this format: ["url=http://www.targetwebsite.com"]Word you want to make the link work from["/url"] Just remove the quotes (") from the format I lsited above. It's the same as hitting the button, but if you type fast it's easier to just type it and not move your hand to the mouse.

    A world with no roads, no doors, and no boats

    This is, pretty much, what I sent them for the contest. I didn't make the top 11 though :( In a nutshell, the campaign setting would be a series of worlds in a galaxy. Linked by portals that would allow you to jump from one fixed location to another. I wasn't thinking teleportation circle...

    Help Making a Paladin?

    I'll join the crowd in favor of dropping that INT for WIS (or perhaps splitting it between WIS and CON as extra HP never hurt). You won't miss the skill points so badly when you make a will save by the one point of bonus you give yourself with the change :) If you are going for a missile free...

    POLL should flavor restrictions be officaly errated out?

    I voted no. IMO, if you want to vote yes you might as well vote to move D&D to a classless system. The point of the restirictions is to make the classes different and therefore 'special'. As a DM I don't rule 0 these restrictions out. Heck, I usually rule 0 more restirictions in...

    Enemy Mages

    Go for spells that annoy, delay, and harass, but don't damage. Avoid any spell that says "save or die". Attack the PC spellcasters indirectly. Use counterspells and dispel magic. Stunt their abilities instead of their life force. Bring back Maximillian's Earthen Grasp and use it to grapple the...

    New DM needs help.

    I'm tackling the same issue from a different angle: getting the party to actively participate in "down time" as a part of the campaign. In the games I run, this does not happen much, or for long. In the games I play, the experience is the same. My first successful 3E character was a wizard...

    Oversupplementers anonymous

    I must confess, in 1E and 2E I was on overcollector. There was never an "if" on most purchases, just a "when". I found the cure for 3E though. I have less than one foot of D20 material! What saved me though my friends? What salvation????? Children :rolleyes:

    (Been done, I know) What is with Quick Draw?

    I have a player with this feat and I let him grab small items with a quickdraw. So he's pulling potions, wands, scrolls, and the sort. I just use a little logic and don't let him grab the cheesecloth that is crammed at the bottom of his backpack. I also let anyone with +1 BAB or better do the...

    OT: Quick Time Zone Question (Californian's look here)

    Easy solution for people who don't like math and have a Windows based computer. Look at the clock in the lower right corner of your screen. Double click the time. It opens the 'Date/Time Properties' window. Click the Time Zone tab at the top. If the time is correct for your local time you...

    Bring back the Comic Code!

    As a parent with children who could be affected by the Great Demons of Evil in our society I am against censorship. Be it D&D, comics, music, or anything else. Even if there is a code that is supposed to protect my children I do my own research and my own previews. I decide what they see and...

    Wotc-map Survey

    I voted folder. Neither is ideal. Books are a pain to photocopy/use/demonstrate to players. Folders slowly wear down and loose sheets get lost. I'd prefer binder format.

    Is the Cleric class broken/unbalanced?

    I'd differ. I have seen a PC make a cleric that was entirely focused on himself. His spell selection was based on things that would make him stronger in melee (battle priest). Bull's Strength, Magic Weapon, etc. Things like Bless help him and have indirect benefit of helping those who are near...

    Creative Mountain Games Comments...

    This thread made me look, and I have to say that I really like the idea of the 'Culture Class'. It is much more useful for me and my campaign to have a few more NPC classes to cover different little things that NPC's might be doing than it is to have another 20 prestiege classes. Not...
