While powerful weapons and new spells are great, I sometimes like handing out magic items that don't have obvious purposes. It's fun to watch the PCs try to come up with interesting things to do with them. I once gave out an immovable wand. The players used a potion of gaseous form to slip...

Brilliant guys! I love the ideas! A vertical nest is amazing! I especially love the idea of web mummies and parasitic flies! I'm going to try had to really gross them out with this. Think about how horrific it would be to actually descend into a giant insect pit. Now that you mention it though...

In my hex-crawl campaign, the party ran across a Giant Black Widow Lair. Next game, They're delving down in there to hopefully save someone who was cocooned and dragged in (and come across some fantastic treasure). I'm trying to create an interesting and multi-layered battle, but can't think of...

Thanks for the advice guys. Yes, you are right that my player's Magus is very heavily optimized. The player that plays him really enjoys studying the rules of the game. But Eltab, you are right. After going over the math from the last fight, I found that the Magus made a mistake. He shouldn't...

I'm sorry to necro this thread, but I haven't been around in a while. I promised originally that I would post back about the way the fight with the demon went. It was a total party kill. The demon wiped the floor with them. They came up with some really really awesome and crazy solutions to...

I'm a bit worried about a 6th level Magus in the group. Don't get me wrong, he's a great player and I love his presence in the game, but I'm worried that the Magus always seems to upstage the other characters inadvertently. At 6th level, the Magus is able to dish out absolutely massive amounts...

After sizing up a bunch of different solutions, I ended up going with Roll20. It ended up being the easiest solution. What I did is create two account: one Game Master account and one Player account. I open the GM account in Chrome and the Player account in another browser (in this case Opera)...

So I recently picked up Kobold Press's amazing Southlands Campaign Setting and I'm getting ready to run the Cat & Mouse adventure for my gaming group when I noticed a mistake on the Per-Bastet map. The map has 34 numbered locations, but only 33 things listed in the legend. It seems that the 34th...

http://forgottenrealms.wikia.com/wiki/Half-dwarf My game is set it Faerun, 3rd edition era. Half-dwarves, while rare, do exist. And I like that name Dot. It's funny! I can have that be her nick-name. They haven't come across her yet.

Barvik, I like it. I'm going with it. Thanks Richards.

As a matter of fact, this might be a great opportunity to work in the old Kill Bargle quest! Thanks for the memory jog Dioltach.

Oh man! I forgot all about that! I knew that name sounded a bit familiar. Still, I'm going with it. I like the sound of it too much and Bargle is supposed to be a villain anyway. The only one of the group that is redeemable is Blarta, who is an NPC in the group.

Hey guys, I'm making a couple characters for a campaign I'm running and need help with naming. It's a group of three half-brothers and their half-sister. Each one is a half-something (their mother was a kind-hearted prostitute). The oldest is a Half-Elf by the name of Bargle. The middle...

AndromedaRPG, that would be great. I would love to check out the program! Thanks! I'll PM my email to you. BuckyKatt, thanks for that recommendation. I'll give maptool a look.

Hey guys, I recently came into possession of a spare flatscreen TV and want to lay it flat to use it as a table that can display custom maps. So basically, I'm looking for software that caters to a game masters specific needs. All I really need is something that lets me display my maps...

Solid advice. I truly believe that is one is the second type of TPK. I made sure to have everything lined up so that the party could not only discover the secret of the temple (which they did), but also enact the needed requirements (non-lethal takedowns) with significant ease. After reading...

A lot of interesting ideas here guys. Thanks for the fantastic input. I will be sure to post back after the next gaming session to let you know how things go.

The party knew in no uncertain terms that their actions were feeding the inevitable strength of the demon. It isn't a matter of them not getting the hint. A couple of the players have even spoken out against killing more enemies, but some of the more influential, team-leader players talked...

In the next game session, my whole party is almost certainly going to die. They are currently in an adventure that has them invading a doomsday cult's inner sanctum. Inside this secret temple (located under the parties home base town), the cult is summoning a powerful demon with the intent to...

Unless I'm mistaken, when Clerics reach the appropriate level, they automatically gain access to every new spell available at that level. Well recently, I downloaded a bunch of new pathfinder compatible priest spells and I'm trying to figure out a way of awarding my groups cleric some of those...
