I'm working on a new campaign world and would like to include some advanced technology (specifically early uses of technology). The particular invention that has grabbed my attention is the telegraph. However, I am (of course) a stickler for at least semi-believable technological development...

Semi-bump: I just found a post buried in the Wizards boards with a side reference that the DMG (I presume 3.0, since the 3.5 would just put it in the MM, and because I can't find it in 3.5) gave chokers an LA +3. That sound right to ya'll? That leaves me with the Level Adjustments for the...

Yes, I do realize all of that. I, however, think the races presented might work out in play. Or, at least, I would like to try. Not finding the necessary information in the SRD, I have come here. The Mindbender Dretch is a question due to the template, not the base. I have since found one...

I'm creating a random campaign setting using my newly-purchased Book of Templates and need some help. Specifically, I'm trying to determine the LAs of a few of the weaker monsters I have ended up creating (and hopefully shave off a couple to determine the seven "core" non-human races I want)...

I actually already own both verway and OtE, so I guess I've got a head start. Also, the game Immortal actually did have characters start out undefined and slowly defined them over the course of the game. Unfortunately, none of them are really what I ant. And this isn't about lecturing my...

I find queer theory, defined above, extremely interesting and have tried to develop fantasy settings which take it as their model, or take it to a (perhaps il)logical conclusion. I have never been fully satisfied. So I ask the community: Any ideas on a campaign, setting, and/or game which...

Heck, I'd be interested in a conversion as well. I have done some stuff with world creation and combining IN with AU, but it has all been fluff. Some help with the crunch would be nice too.

I dig the Dwarven Monk/Drunken Master idea, but I can go one better! Use the Book of Exalted Deeds and take the Vow of Nonviolence feat, or even the Vow of Peace feat! It has some nice bonuses to compensate for "losing" out on what so many consider a vitally important part of the game (combat...

Well, I kinda do have a halflifetish. turns me on more than the thought of Lidda in her leather armor, but I will stop there for the sake of Erics' grandma. :-) Actually, I mostly want to include them because the whole point is kind of to make D&D in al its sacred cows present in the...

LalalalalaBUMPla la, la la. LalalalaBUMPla la, la la. P.S. s/LaSH, I just read through all of Dungeon Damage in, oh, I'd say, about 2,2.5 weeks. Good stuff. Might steal a few ideas, horribly twist them and put them in this campaign (like the chimp-trogs and the Moslem gnolls)

While these are all good ideas, none really give me the sort of cosmic, fantasy feel I'm going for. They all seem to belong more to a genre of horror that is more closely tied to science fiction than to fantasy. Can anyone help? Again, any other ideas on this setting would be appreciated as well.

I've just recently begun developing an idea for a D20 Modern game that is D&D in the modern world seen through a horror lens. I started by developing the origins/raisons d'etre of the 5 D&D non-human races. Elves are the result of the infusion of a dying fey's essence into a human (willingly...

What about playing the character as the dumb side of the main character from Flowers for Algernon? He knew what to do to live, knew what worked, but had no clue why. He got along great with people (though that was more because he didn't understand that they were mocking him, but still . . .)...

Hm. Brainspurt. Feel free to ignore. Just had some ideas coming out of my fingers. If you wouldn't mind the re-vamp of your character concept, what if your character began to blend the three deities into one triune deity? They could match pretty easily to the Triune Goddess of Wicca, I...

Good names all of them, but I hardly think the Eumenides (that's smooth breathing, epsilon, upsilon, mu, epsilon, nu, iota, delta, epsilon, sigma for all you bad spellers out there :-) ) are truly elemental. Now, if he had three dretch following him around . . .

A clarification I'm not looking for the power class. I fell in love with 3rd edition mostly because of how balanced all the classes are (i.e. one experience table)- I work with new players a lot, and they need to feel that they have a class that is no less powerful than the others. Besides...

Spells- And a clarification I disagree that cleric spells are less powerful. If anything they are more versatile. Defensive, offensive, miscellaneous, AND healing spells are all in the cleric's repetoire. Take Magical Stones fore example- a spell with a much higher damage possibility than...

Here's a thought- The Cleric casts more spells per day than the wizard, has better saving throws than the wizard, has more special abilities than a wizard (regarding domains and domain powers), is unrestricted by spell lists, and starts out proficient with more weapons than the wizard. With...

*BUMP*

Thank you! The other thing I'm interested in is the kind-of parallels that can be drawn between the background of the Banewarrens and that of Rokugan (well, there's at least enough parallelism between them to spur ideas!) Does anyone have any thoughts on those sorts of connections, or where...
