Aside from the original Dragonlance series (c'mon, they've been updated to every new system since 1E, continue the trend!) Dwellers of the Forbidden City The Saltmarsh Series (for the great story alone.) Isle of the Ape (because I want them to release a colossal ape mini!) And of course, Die...

After a move 10 years ago, I inventoried my stuff and found the following: 2 copies of A1, 0 copies of A3 (luckily I have the perfect bound compilation book too) 2 copies of B2 A 1st printing copy of Deities & Demigods (with the trademarked stuff: Cuthulu, Elric, etc.) and a 3rd printing...

I see this all the time when playing with strangers in Living Forgotten Realms D&D games. There is a certain set of guys who know the 4E rules inside out and will often drop snide comments when you present your character at the table. Last month I heard: "A 2-handed weapon fighter? Wow, you'll...

Its not specifically a library, but Dungeon 165 has the White Lotus Academy.

Regarding the OP. I think you are RP'ing correctlly. The Police are part of the game. You have successfully completed the "Get Arrested" quest. Unfortunately, your next quest has been assigned: "Spend 6 months in federal 'PMITA' prison". Return here when completed for more experience points and...

Thanks for all the replies! I will definitely scrap the idea of using the same challenge to model the return trip. I like the ideas for alternate options getting back to land.

I am creating an adventure for my group where they take a small boat out on the ocean to an off shore encounter area. They have a 3 encounters there, then either swim or sail back. The sailing/swimming is a skill challenge (complexity 2, so hopefully it won't take too long.) Problem is, I had...

Mounted combat is pretty easy. You move as the mount moves. Either you attack or it attacks. Sometimes its powers allow for a bonus to your attack, or even special combo attacks, especially charge attacks. Some players have issues figuring out how to move a large+ creature though; difficult...

More HP, better defenses, higher weight load (which allows barding), and 2 special attack powers that the rider can take advantage of.

The fact that AD&D used inches for distance and movement indicates to me that minis were at least planned for if expected. Sure, you can argue that it's roots in chainmail just carried over, but do you think it wouldn't have been a lot easier to just say 10 feet as opposed to 1 inch? Also...

To keep the interest, discard some of the actual mechanics. One thing I did for a table of new players is to allow open-book rules for powers. The players just picked a class and I allowed them to choose any at-will at any time, and to pick any encounter once per encounter and any daily they...

You mean other than this one?

Ahh. Sorry.:blush: What about these then? $40 a set? Not 100% sure what "real" jade looks like as opposed to jade colored stone. http://www.gmdice.com/proddetail.php?prod=DSD-02053

How about these? Speckled 16mm Polyhedral Golden Recon d10 Dice | Gamestation Scarab Polyhedral 16mm Jade w/gold d10 Dice | Gamestation

CustomDice.com has some neat stuff and can make anything, for a price. . .

Another vote for Auggies. Some other tips: Use the DDM database to search for a mini you like based on keywords like human, fighter, sword. D&D Miniatures Database: Welcome! Then go to abPrices to find the best price for a specific miniature. abPrices.com - Dungeons & Dragons Miniatures...

I have used Intimidate a few times, and seen it used by others at the table, but we all have failed; haven't seen a success yet so haven't seen how my DM's handle it. Personally, its just asking for an errata since its the only skill with an opposed check versus a defense. All other opposed...

A dictionary.

How so? I think they hold up very well today. Even if you remove the "Dragonlance" trappings, for the most part, they were good modules. Sure there were some holes and a few unbalanced encounters. but they had great environments, interesting things to meet & kill, and lots of opportunity to...

Ha! Great thread. Played in a slightly modified Kobold Halls delve at our last FLGS game day and critted with my 1st level fighter's daily (Knee Breaker) using an execution axe against the lead kobold bad guy: 37 hit points total. Apparently, that didn't kill him. I was rather bummed, so I...
