Special ability should probably be: +3 to Ride checks. or +3 to Handle Animal checks. You'll need all the help you can get to manage your horse in combat. If I was DM, I'd let you have it, but require you to make Ride and Handle Animal Checks checks as if it were a regular horse. Be sure...

Sit down at a donut shop days before the session and just get him to talk about what his plans are. He's probably very excited about DMing and just sees it as "his" story. Ask him how you (and the rest of the players) can work within his framework. Then explain that the framework he has built is...

Whoops... Map 2 posted wrong and eliminated a space ... C=cleric F=fighter M=monster U=unoccupied space UFM CUU Do I have reach? Does monster have cover?

The situation: A cleric with a longspear is tucked behind the fighter. The fighter is engaged with a monster. Can cleric stab at the monster with the longspear? Does the monster have cover? On the map: C=Cleric, F=Fighter, M=Monster Map 1: CFM Map 2 (As the cleric makes a 5-foot step to...

Here's the story from Wisconsin .... One thing I notice in many media reports about D&D and RPGs is that reporters don't really know how to describe D&D (in just a few words) to the general public. How would you do it?

Your opportunity to run a team called the Brown Mold (or any other D&D name you come up with) is running out! Sign up by Saturday!

If anyone is interested in Fantasy Hockey on Yahoo!, I'm running a league for something like the eighth year in a row. This is a head-to-head league. Once you get a yahoo! ID, go to Fantasy Hockey Leagues on Yahoo! Sports then click on "Join a League" From there, the League ID is:107094 The...

I'm DMing a 3.5e group with some rules modifications. Based on some cherry picked races, but most are out of Manual of the Planes. I use any monster book I feel is appropriate. Most adventures are slightly modded from Dungeon. Players are permitted Spell Compendium, Planar Handbook, Manual of...

Here's the story ... D&D rulebooks focus of lawsuits

I'm a big fan of the XXVc setting, and I've often toyed with the idea of rebuilding the system into d20/d20 Modern. In fact, a few years back, I played in an online version of it that was a very simplistic d20 refit. (I believe I still have the quickie PDF that the GM made, if anyone's...

Last night's game featured a confrontation with a Mudmaw (Monster Manual 2). The Mudmaw was published under 3.0 rules, we use 3.5e. In the book, the mudmaw's full attack is listed as 2 tentacle slaps at +11 and a bite at +6. So, if it launches all of these attacks in one round, are the attacks...

Do you want a list or do you want us to just start our own?

I've always been surprised that no one has ever tried a hyperlink version of the Endless Quest style story. You could have ads at every clickable choice (which monetizes it). For kids, it might prove to be an entertaining way to learn to read (which gives it a reason to exist). For adults, they...

Didn't Cobra Commander make a weather generator? He was a real jerk with that, if I recall. ;)

Just the PHB and MM for me. My group (and myself) are not very interested in 4e yet. I'm not even sure if we will ever be.

Actually, Mustrum, last I heard is that WotC would not respond to queries it wasn't interested in. I think the 30-Day window was for them to respond. If they didn't respond in that time, then they wouldn't respond at all. That being said, I'd wait 60 days to six months before you take your idea...

Check out GM Mastery: Adventure Essentials: Inns, Taverns & Restaurants. It includes tips for running scenarios (both monstrous and mundane) with a tavern as its basis. Includes lots of ideas for NPCs, in-game games and activities. Oh, and it comes with an additional 100+ page book of lists to...

I counted 13, but I may have lost that extra pass when I asked myself "Why is there a gorilla in the middle, and why are there 'S's written on the walls?"

I think what the poll is discussing is a commemorative set -- not one for mass market sales. Such a product would be high-priced (and probably high-end production values), and therefore only sought out by current, in-the-know customers and fans.

I'm sure WotC would happily license out the reprint rights to do such a project. Anyone got a few grand for me to make an offer, then another grand to collect the errata (in a companion book), and then a whole lot more to print and market it?
