Hi, has anyone done anything interesting mechanically with rope bridges? Having it simply be difficult terrain due to swaying, with hp to be destroyed doesnt seem like I'd be taking advantage of the system.

Hey All, Ran into an interesting situation in our game. The PCs took down an NPC wizard and we can't figure out if there's a way for them to prevent him from casting in 4E. In previous editions you could bind and gag a wizard, but 4E powers dont seem to have the component needs of previous...

Hi there, I'm hoping for some help for my session tomorrow. The PCs are going to recon an enemy stronghold and I was thinking it would make for a good skill challenge. I can make one from scratch, but I thought I'd first check and see if any knows of a similar challenge that's been play-tested...

I'd considered bumping everyone up on the starting gp scale, but decided that lower prices reinforces the setting economy. Thanks for the suggestion, I'll check it out.

I'm working on a high octane UnderDark campaign and one of the obstacles I've run into is the pricing of magic items. In order to accommodate low ECL races and have characters with some oomph I've set starting PCs at 6th level. However the starting gp for a 6th level character isn't enough to...

I know this is shocking to hear, but gaming is a hobby for me, not a business. So my question is based purely on my own curiosity, not because I plan to puclish anything.

Apologies if this topic has been covered in the past. Does anyone have a list of monsters that aren't in the srd? Beholder, Slaad, mind flayer, etc? Thanks!

Anyone know where I can find a d20 mechanic for armor damage? Specifically I'm looking for a system to simulate the abuse shields take in combat. I always thought the idea of a splintering shield was dramatic, but shields in D&D don't do that during normal use.

Next week I'm running a session in which the PCs will lead a small force of troops against another small force. There will be about two dozen combatants on each side. Using straight D&D this is going to be slow and a bit of a pain, however mass combat systems like Fields of Blood seem geared...

Book of Cleavage In a similar vein the cover on the 2nd ed. Tome of Magic inspired my college gaming group to substitute the word "cleavage" in a bunch of spells. That was good for some belly laughs. Good times, good times.

I have experience playing and running both Ars Magica and Deadlands. Although I agree with the general sentiment about both games (Ars Magica: best magic system evah! Deadlands: Fun!), both have their ups and downs. As background I have been involved in several Ars Magica sagas and play tested...

In addition to some of the excellent points brought up in thsi thread regarding market saturation I've read elsewhere over the years that modules don't make money because mostly just DMs buy them. In the 3E model of 4 players and a DM, if only the DM buys the module that's only 20% of the...

Howdy. Has anyone heard anything about Gaslight Press? They hit the market with Gryphon's Legacy, the beginning of what looked like a cool new campaign world, but that was about a year ago. The last update on their website was April '02. Anyone know anything? -Rosenet

Does anyone know what Jon Tweet has been up to since being on the 3E design team, and writing chainmail? I haven't seen his name among the WotC layoff/exodus dead, but I haven't seen his name on anything either.
