I distinctly remember reading an interview with one of the 3rd edition designers in which he made an interesting remark on saving throws. According to him, the goal had been to balance the saves in such a way that 2 characters of the same level had a certain perecentage change to make or miss a...

Too me the power still doesn't feel right. I would suggest the following changes. Instead of making it give a penalty to every type of power/spell, make it give only a penalty to compulsion, mind-affecting and divination type powers/spells. This to me reinforces the flavor of the power much...

A while back people were designing large undead troop transport creatures. In looking through all my Dragon issues to find a Nodwick comic (see the main thread), I found that someone beat us to the punch quite a while ago. ;-) In Dragon 276 (October 2000) on page 88 is a monster called an...

Nolin must have been reading Nodwick. ;-) I hope Velendo had his create tartar sauce spell prepard and Agar brought his wand of breading and Tao her +4 knife of filleting. ;-) (Dragon 274, page 98; took me only an hour to find. ;-)

Thanks for the info guys, that helped a lot!! I've been using Mapquest to try and see where 7th Street and Hennepin Avenue exactly is, and it seems to be very likely that it is the shop I went to, those 4 years ago. I'll only arrive in town on Saturday night, to leave on Tuesday evening again...

I just remembered that it was almost impossible to reckognize as a game store from the outside (no large windows or any signs). Not much help that, I'm afraid. ;-)

I'm looking for one specific store, but if anyone knows of any other stores I'd like to know about them too. I was in Minneapolis 4 years ago and found a store that had lots of old D&D novels and ever since I've been kicking myself that I haven't bought all the books I need to complete my...

If you want more info on the weather in Silverymoon and the Silver Marches, check out WotC's aptly named book: The Silver Marches. It has lots more very useful info (although I think the adventures are a waste of space and those pages could have been used better). And if you want the weather...

Making the Kuo Toan city culturally different from what the defenders have seen so far: give it an oriental flavor. I think that meshes very well with the Kuo Toa's. I can really see an underwater city with simple buildings that haven't got much in the way of walls (just enough to keep out...

;-) And just to hijack the thread: Johnathan, I just found out you did a book for Mongoose (Slayer's Guide to Trolls??), have you done any other books?? Since you told me (in another thread a long, long time ago ;-) that the Monster Hunters Association won't be making an appearance in Dragon...

This might be of interest to some people on this board. I have created an Excel sheet generator that uses the tables in the Silver Marches book to generate the weather (and weather effects) for an entire year. It's also possible to add your own weather tables and to adapt it to other regions or...

Nevermind, my bad.

The Defenders on page 2?? Say it ain't so! ;-)

So am I!! That part made them so good. The ecology idea it self is very good. But the Monster Hunters made it special. ;-) I hope I (and others) will run into Buntleby, Ozzie, Dreelix, Willowquisp, Zantoullios and all the others somewhere at one time or another.

I used Gorgoldand's Gauntlet for a 10th level party (had to change it a bit ;-) it was great fun. I'm also certainly going to use The Statue Gallery sometime. But the reason I'm posting is because I love the Ecology articles!! They're the best things to have ever appeared in Dragon. Any chance...

With all his jetlag Morrus is sure to go *bump* in the night. (Is this is good disguised bump or what? ;-)

Morrus: Let's go to Gen Con! Piratecat: No! That's just what they'd expect us to do! ----------------------------- Toadie: Sir, the Milwaukee hotels have stopped buying soap! Boss: That can mean only one thing: another Gen Con is neigh. ----------------------------- Ryan Dancey: The d20...

Very nice one, I knew I could count on you to come up with an interesting example. The only possible flaw I can see here is that sooner or later the rogue is going to roll a 1 (let's hope it's later rather than sooner. ;-) And talking about unexpected how do you like this one: In my campaign...

One more reply. ;-) Yup, there could always be quests that can't be finished. But first they should look for alternative options. Usually there are other options. For one, in most places the local authorities, will want to keep a monopoly of sorts on magic weapons (adventurers carrying them...
