I'm running pretty much exactly that game right now. One of the PC's inherited a castle, which (of course) turned out to be infested with evil goblins and whatnot. Pretty much what you need is a Floorplan of the keep, and an idea of what horrible nasties infest it. The players figure out...

From TSR/WotC/Dancey's perspective, this was a problem. TSR was spending time and money developing products for smaller and smaller sections of its (already relatively small) fanbase. Folks didn't buy it all, and the company lost money as a result. Frex: I played Spelljammer. I never bought...

I've seen several posters make this point or one similar. But so what? I a person doesn't like some aspect of the Realms, what does it matter where the fault lies? Take the name "Fzoul Chembryl." (please) I don't care if it was cooked up by Ed Greenwood or some third-string freelancer or the...

I knew a guy who played Fred the Fighter, a character specifically created because "nobody plays generic, ordinary fighters anymore." This happened in a 2E game played in 1992.

I rolled a 4. I'll go on ahead and start rolling a new guy.

Two things I haven't seen yet. 1. Fantasy name syndrome. Everybody's got a name full of X's and Z's and apostrophes. 2. Unnecessary "Fantasy". I remember a Dragon article from the 3.X days that said something like, "The river is full of Zurraunt fish, which are like trout." Pro tip: If...

I come up with a few ideas I'm interested in and put it to a vote. Last time my thoughts were: You are colonists in a jungle wilderness. (Like Farshore in the Savage Tide AP) One of you just inherited a Castle! Pirates! Just before the campaign starts a portal opens and demons pour out. The...

I agree these are examples of what a PC can do with a full attack, but: 1) For the most part, they're feat intensive. Either you have to have the feat to try 'em (stunning fist, that arrow-pinning thing) or you really need to have a feat to before you have much chance of succeeding (tripping...

See my post on page 1. I've been using d20Pro for a while, and I like it. It's stable. It's relatively easy to use. It doesn't take a lot of data entry to run. It's built for D&D. Unlike Vegepygmy and a few others, I want my VTT to handle the math for me. I figure one thing computers...

In my experience (which begins with 2E right after it was released) Wizards generally took staff as their weapon and usually used their staff until they hit second or third level. I generally made it a point to drop a Wand of Magic Missile or something similar into the game early on, and once...

I've been using d20Pro for three or four years now, and I've found it well worth the money. As Steel_Wind notes, the cost is not as great as Hussar seems to think. Cost aside, this is what I like about d20Pro. 1. Stability. Before d20Pro, I used Klooge, and I nearly tore my hair out over...

I don't like boxed sets. In my experience, they're a pain in the ass to store, and the boxes tend to fall apart with use. I like most of the content I'm hearing about, but I'm not happy that WotC is choosing to go back to boxed sets.

a) This is a bummer, but b) Most of the old adventures available from Wotc.com were average to poor. They weren't giving away the classics.

National Geographic is a constant source of inspiration to me. I very much want to send my PC's here: Stone Forest — Photo Gallery — National Geographic Magazine

IMO, you could. The 3.0 Ranger is more front-loaded than the 3.5 ranger, so you might have issues with some weird ranger multiclass. The Monk changed, I don't recall how, but since 3.5 monks were kinda sucky, it wouldn't make a difference. The real trick is the differences in spells between...

I'm curious whether Skills & Powers was literally considered "2.5" back when it was released. I was only playing intermittently at the time, but I don't recall anything like that. I've always been under the impression that "2.5" was applied retroactively to Skills & Powers when 3.5 came out.

I've got to be in Columbia next week for business. Any place I should check out?

This is why I suggested the Border Ethereal, it's already coexistent and ghosts are there. If Lord Zack is replacing it with a Border Astral, I'd move the fey there. In general, I'd create a co-existent plane that acted as a warped reflection of the prime material. Basically 4E's Feywild. I...

I don't subscribe because ENWorld, particularly the general forum, is less and less interesting to me. The number of new threads in general seems to have decreased. Umbran closed the "What could WotC do to woo back disenchanted fans" thread 2 days ago, and it's still on the main page. A year...

If I were going to do a "spirit world" in the Great Wheel, I'd be inclined to drop it into the Border Ethereal.
