    Information Flow in "typical" D&D

    Hi all, Thanks for the varied and invigorating comments. I guess this faces one of the problems of the D&D system - players start off with a class, and no NPC classes (though of course you could house rule this). Most people are something else, before they become a druid, or wizard, or...

    Information Flow in "typical" D&D

    So, we live in an information age, whereby I can search a worldwide database from the comfort of my own home. I can keep up with breaking news, by the minute if I wish. I have a hundred or so channels to entertain me, along with video games, books (and e-books!) from any library or bookstore...

    What's a DM to do?

    Ok, this is a pretty simply scenario that happened in my group, and I think I probably handled it wrong. We have two newbies in the group, though we've played ~ 10 sessions now. I'll leave out the fact that they don't know spells, combat, skills, etc. yet ("Roll a Fortitude save" gets: "What...

    Wizards' online store?

    Thanks Thanks for the info. I do remember that now. It's still odd that http://store.wizards.com just dies instead of bringing up a redirect or info page about the sale. In this thread here, http://enworld.cyberstreet.com/showthread.php?s=&postid=334117#post334117, I mention about E-Tools...

    E-Tools pricing?

    Wow Thanks for the info. In another thread I asked about store.wizards.com, which was apparently outsourced to svgames.com. svgames.com sells it the cheapest, since there's no middleman. So Wizards is undercutting their resellers. Unbelievable. I don't understand why it should vary while...

    Wizards' online store?

    Hi all, I haven't been able to access Wizards' online store in a few weeks. Did I miss something about this? Anyone know what's up? Thanks, zyzzyr

    E-Tools pricing?

    Hello all, Does anyone know what is up with E-Tools pricing? At SVGames it's 29.99 US, at the ENWorld shop it's 31.95 (marked down from 34.95), at cyberdungeon.com its listed at 48.07 US. What the heck kind of pricing is this? My local gaming store is trying to sell it to me at 59.99...

    Forge of Fury DMing Question

    Wow, that was fast! Hi James, Thanks for the quick reply. The rug is Huge - 20 ft. by 20 ft. in a 25 ft. x 25 ft. room. The party is two spellcasters (wizard and druid) and two standups (fighter and bbn). Also, the grapple itself makes me wonder about touch attacks. Are they automatically...

    Forge of Fury DMing Question

    Hi all, I'm running Forge of Fury today (if you're playing this module with another DM don't read this!)... The animated rug in area 47 grapples its foes, and deals constrict damage. That part I've got. The part that confuses me is: "The rug attacks by attempting to grapple up to three...

    Empowering Domain Spells

    Thanks Hi all, Thanks for the response. I figured as much, but wanted confirmation. I couldn't find it in the FAQ either, which is why I asked. Then again, that thing is so big that it's relatively easy to miss something! zyzzyr

    Dispelling Silence?

    Thanks! Hi all, Thanks for the response. As you can see in my other question here, I'm looking at preparing a Silent Dispel Magic for my knowledge-domain cleric, in case he is ever silenced. Although I could prepare another spell as Silent, I really don't want to be silenced, so I can try to...

    Empowering Domain Spells

    Hello, I haven't been able to find a direct rule on how to handle empowered domain spells. If I empower a 2nd level domain spell with Silence Spell (+1 level) does that mean that takes my 3rd level domain spell slot, and I can then memorize another 2nd level domain spell? I would normally...

    Dispelling Silence?

    This might be a silly question, but I've hit the wall here. What counters silence? I don't mean counterspell. I mean, if I'm a spellcaster and I've been silenced, what spell do I cast to rid myself of that? There used to be a spell called Vocalize which got rid of silence only, but I don't...

    WotC Seeking Your Setting Proposals (was "Big Wizard announcement")

    Setting spam? The fallout from this on the d20 market will be interesting. I'd be curious to see how many of the 10-pagers continue on to develop an entire world and then try to sell it to a publisher for d20. Of course, this means we might see a glut of settings all at once.

    WotC Seeking Your Setting Proposals (was "Big Wizard announcement")

    Additional team members at second stage? Hi AV, I don't want to sound like I am counting unhatched chickens, but what happens if I make it to the next level, then decide that I need help and enlist a few new team members? Or if a team member from step 1 decides to bail out? In other words...

    Current Settings as Setting Submission?

    Er ... Care to venture a go at it then? DL I can see, but GH is a murky mystery to me.

    Current Settings as Setting Submission?

    Looking at the setting submission questions, I got to wondering what the current settings would look like if described in these terms. Specifically: Who are the heroes? (note this means what kinds of adventurers would succeed) What do they do? (note this means what actions will they take to...

    Ever had that one player who's just on a different wavelength?

    Changing monsters I recently ran a session with a friend who has much more experience than me. However, I have more 3e mechanics experience so I was DMing. Anyhoo... We have a nighttime encounter involving wights - or what look like wights. I added a new ability to the wights (now called...

    Ever had that one player who's just on a different wavelength?

    Ideas for ForceUser ForceUser, I take it from your first post that she is a rogue. If what I say offends anyone, please feel free to slap me around. I find that women RPGers (as you described - interested in frilly things, candles, puppies, and such) typically enjoy playing either druids or...

    Good/cheap miniatures where?

    What are good mini companies? Thanks for the help all. I've sent out some feelers. What are good mini manufacturers? I hard previously heard of GW, WotC, Reaper, and Ral Partha, and now when I take a look it turns out there are many many companies, including ones I've never heard of. Such...
