    Dice!

    Hey everyone! I'm looking to get a nice new set of dice. However, I don't know who makes good dice and google searches give me waaaay too many options. So I'm hoping you guys have some good advice. Thanks for any help. -Talgian

    Chicago Gameday XIV: Aftermath...

    I'd like to play in the Introductory Adventure to Warhammer. Gotta love a system where you don't need a pencil since you won't live long enough to change your character ;) -Talgian

    Fleshing Out Campaign

    D'Oh! I forgot about a trip to Xen'drik. That is essential, and will be perfect for the segue between the third and fourth strings. I think what I am struggling most with is figuring out how to really achieve that sense of truly vast global conspiracy. I want there to be a moment (towards the...

    dm looking for help

    I agree with smootrk that it is essential to develop an encounter or two that plays directly to the new characters strengths. Preferably in a dramatic way, like a door that can't be opened unless the rogue uses his skills, or a monster that can't be defeated unless the fighter uses a special...

    What class for a fifth player?

    If you have the core four, and only one additional character, that character should be purely support. Bards are meant to support the four core, so it makes sense to choose the bard, since it supports all the classes. The following list is what makes sense to me, YMMV. Barbarian: Can Replace...

    Xmas Gaming Swag!

    Well, if I combine my immediate family with presents I got for myself with various gift cards I scored: Guillotine Serenity RPG and Munchkin. And to think, it's only night #2 of my eight crazy nights! -Talgian

    Everything is a remake/sequel!

    I work at a Landmark Theatre, which only plays independent and foreign films, which are often in both the public and critical eye, percieved as more original than their commercial counterparts. However, if you actually look at it, most of these films are also based on some other piece of art...

    Fleshing Out Campaign

    Hey everyone! Thanks again for help in my last thread. We had our first [marathon] session today, running The Forgotten Forge and the first half of The Ettin's Riddle, and it went very well. However, we plan to run this campaign for a while, so I am trying to develop an overarching plot line...

    Hanukkah D&D Campaign

    Speaking as a Jew whose Chanukah candles just finished burning, I think it's a great idea for a family tradition. I'd just be sure to point out to the kiddies that Chanukah is actually a fairly minor holiday in the Jewish tradition, but it sounds like a wonderful way to spend some family time...

    Unorthodox Eberron Campaign

    Artificers Well, I'm glad to hear that the party should be okay (with ample downtime), but this thread has made me realize I have a problem. I don't understand the Artificer. I get the "idea" of the class. They are exceptional crafters and can enhance items. But I guess I don't see how that...

    Unorthodox Eberron Campaign

    Heya folks, long time lurker, first time poster (outside of Hero/Villain Showdown threads). So my group and I started a new Eberron campaign. I'm DM'ing, and it's not, shall we say, a traditional party make-up. I identify it as a party of kind-of's. We have 1 Warforged Artificer. He took the...

    Great Hero Showdown Round 5 (Voting Closed)

    1. Robin Hood Mr. Hood does a lot more for the people, and doesn't strike me as being as sketchy as Indiana Jones is at times. Plus, what kind of a loser uses a whip? 2. Batman If it was Luke from the EU, then I'd vote him in without hesitation. But movie Luke just ain't that special. 3...
