Yay! Another person who believes that wizards get their spells once per day (ie. 24 hour period) and not after every 8 hours of rest. :D I thought I was the only one.

Story time I have a personal story that illustrates the strength/weaknesses of the DM power equation between 2e and 3e. 2e: There was an optional rule for determining individual XP. Even though it was an optional rule, I think it illustrates the methods/rulings 2e (and to some extent 1e) used...

From my screenwriting class In my screenwriting class, post-modern storytelling tends to be about a certain level of "inconsistency," meaning that the most-classical elements of storytelling (one protagonist, a narrative arc, one theme or perspective) is eliminated in one form or another. An...

In my defense as Wycen's Farscape DM, I have submitted some stuff to various d20 publishers but unfortunately no reply. :( I borrowed creatures liberally from the Monster Manual and even from Oriental Adventures. I found it frustrating that AEG wrote up random creatures but never developed...

Shamans I'm going to toot my own horn by blatant self-promotion and suggest a shaman PrC in Dragon #323 that I wrote up. It's 5-level and mostly flavor. Unfortunately, it's pre-3.5 so I don't remember if any of the special abilities hold up.
