    D&D 4E Wizards to be like Fighters in 4e!

    Uh, guys? Merric totally labeled this with the "humor" tag. I think he got the joke.

    Drow War (Complete Series I-III)

    So, the review section is down, and I don't remember there being any reviews of Drow War III up at all. Has anyone gotten DW III? How is it? How does it handle epic-level characters? I only have DW I. If anyone has the entire trilogy, how does it function as a whole? How does it compare...

    What is "The Forge?"

    What the Forge Taught Me 1. Some Forgites are arrogant jargon-spewers. 2. Some Forgites have worthwhile things to say about gaming. 3. Some Forgites are both. What I’ve learned from the Forge: 1. There are many ways of playing; other people may want different things out of play than you...

    Recommend a Good 1st Level Game?

    I'd recommend "Gorgoldand's Gauntlet" -- it appeared in a Dragon annual on CD, and also in a Dungeon magazine (iirc). It's a dungeon crawl with puzzles and traps, with an interesting final boss and a great prize that sets up lots of further adventures. [spoiler warning] The...

    Ruins of the Dragon Lord -- first impressions?

    I can't find any reviews of it. It's been a long time since I got a boxed set, and I'm wondering about: 1. Production quality. Good maps? Strong binding? 2. Game style. One long dungeon? Series of connected adventures? How does it stack up against, say, the Shackled City Adventure Path, WLD...

    [Slavelords of Cydonia] How badly do I need Grim Tales?

    I've been eyeing Slavelords of Cydonia. I like the new rush of 1-20 level campaigns, and this one looks good. How much do I need Grim Tales to run SoC? I've read the description, and I'm not really interested in it itself, but I'll get it if it makes SoC significantly easier to run. (That...

    Favorite 3.5 adventure modules

    Second for Lost City of Barakus. I'm in the mid-late stages of running it now, and it's been a complete blast. Ragnar

    Is it "wrong" to not like other systems?

    *delurks* Yes, it is wrong -- in the same way it's wrong to say "I only like reggae music" or "I only like action films." That is, it isn't morally or ethically wrong, but people with such limited tastes are usually perceived as narrowminded, boring, and dull. It's perfectly fine to say "D20...

    New to d&d and starting a group and DMing

    A "standard" D&D module assumes four-six characters, but you can always have a player run two characters if absolutely necessary. Wait a bit before you go out spending all your $$ on stuff. You can get plenty of stuff free online. (Do get the Monster Manual, though.) The System Reference...

    Getting Back Into Gaming

    I'd suggest some good low-level modules. Pick one of the following: Lost City of Barakus (Troll Lord Games): I'm currently running this, and we're having a great time. No metaplot, lots of interesting encounters, room for me to be creative (if I want), but enough so I don't have to be...

    Complete Arcane vs. CBoEM?

    I'm looking to get a crunchy arcane supplement for my campaign, primarily for providing more options for my players. Right now, I'm using Complete Warrior, Draconomicon, Artificer's Handbook, and Book of the Righteous. I do not own any of the 3.0 Books of Eldritch Might. I've read the reviews...

    Mongoose's Drow War?

    I just heard of this. Does anyone know anything about it besides what's posted on Mongoose's site? It sounds great. What else has Adrian Bott written? Thanks, Ragnar

    "Legend Huge Packs"?

    Funny. I don't have much money for minis, so I just bought the "packs of three boosters" for each line from FRP games. Giants of Legends only sold two to a pack. I pulled a Fomorian and the Huge Gold Dragon. Lucky me, I guess. (I named the dragon Gorgoldand, after the adventure.) -- Ragnar.

    How well do skeletons swim?

    Because they don't have webbing between their fingers, and all that. Also, they don't float. I checked the MM and DMG, but couldn't find anything to suggest they couldn't swim just as easily as their flesh-enveloped counterparts. Maybe they just walk along the bottom, a la Pirates of the...

    I killed a Kobold. Killed him dead.

    Cool! Barakus is a great campaign. My party is going through it now. A couple of weeks ago, they took out the kobolds in an epic battle that left Area 1-19 strewn with the corpses of the dead. This week they levelled (to 2nd Level), and proceeded to take out 3(!!) ogres. (They had lots of...

    Dragonlance War of the Lance Discussion, Questions, and Comments

    I want to run a 3.5 War of the Lance campaign (with PC's substituting for the characters in the novels). I have the 25th anniversary WoL campaign sourcebook, and I've read the novels. I do not have the Dragonlance setting book. How difficult would it be to run the campaign with only this...

    Did anyone play Gorgoland's Gauntlet?

    The minefield didn't pose any problem for my quick-thinking group. [Possible Spoilers] . . . . . . At first level, nobody had metal armor. The Barbarian lured the rust monsters with his massive metal axe, then chucked it across the minefield. The rust monsters cleared a path for everyone. I...
