Sorry it's taken me to so long to get back to this thread, but I was going over Complete Warrior and making notes, as well as planning out my order of adventures. WG: Divinations are surprisingly rare in our games anyway, and the State is devoting most of what it has to research (in vein of...

As a DM, LA +0 is fine for these in most campaigns. It puts them on par with some of the more exotic races from Eberron. As a player, I like the different subraces. It reminds me of Thundercats

Grogg: Yes, sort of like the Rebel Alliance. It's similar in that the PCs won't have a permanently safe base, and that the enemy has significantly better firepower and equipment. The difference is that it won't be a vacuum; at later parts of the story, they will have to deal with outside...

Thanks, Grogg. As much as I hate to admit it, I hadn't even thought about divination magic later on. At the beginning, The State isn't going to care too much (who would, first level characters and all), but a little while later...yeah, I'll have to come up with an excuse for that. I figure in...

My group is about to start a new Pathfinder campaign, and the setting will be an underground resistance. In a way, I'm striving for Nazi Germany meets Sonic SatAM. I'm posting this thread, basically wondering the following: 1.) Has anyone here run something like this before? What was it like...

My crew is okay with "guidelines", which is to say that I can say "things will be rough of on you if you do that" or "for this to work, it'll help if everyone is good". If I actually say, "There will be no half-orcs, and all elves must be archers to elves" I get flack. We have a standing rule...

My books are on shelves, except for whatever my current game is. Those books are in the plastic/padded "notebook" compartment in my gaming bag. Modules are stored in large magazine bags in magazine boxes. Magazines are the same way, but in different boxes. Boxed sets are stored in the...

In 2e, we had an interesting system. Evocation was easy; those spells up to 5th level were widely known and easy to learn. Anything else, above 3rd level, you had to make. This lead to some very pop culture inspired things (The Crimson Bands of Cyttorak, the Friendship Rainbow, and Show Through...

Ah, Ravenloft. My favorite, as a DM and a player. I played through Castle Ravenloft and the House on Gryphon Hill, and later through Adam's Wrath and another Victor Mordenheim adventure. The Mordenheim adventures stick with me, mainly because I spent the majority hamming it up. Frankenstein...

Yora: What, like a red dragon dragon disciple...?

Ah, the dreaded Maroon Dragon. Implausible? Maybe. Throws your players for a loop? Definitely. The pink dragon is more ridiculous to me (half red half white). What's even worse is that it's actually dangerous. Similiar to non-mammalian breasts: clubs made out of the genitals of dragons...

Take away his toys? Anti-magic zone + slow effect + entangle + armor effects = MC Hammer (Can't Touch This).:D

I found those after I posted the message, and I may purchase them. The thing is, the game is set for Friday, and the cheapest I can find them is about $30 plus shipping. I already own the originals. ;)

Hi. I'm not sure if this is the right place, but I figured it might be since it's an old module and I'll be updating it to 3.5E. Basically, though, I'm asking for tips from anyone who has run this module (or the following ones) in any system. I'm not that great with the layout of some of the...

To the original post, I get it. It's not the content, or being closed minded, or anything of the post. It's the "nerdrage". Take anime. I didn't see much anime until I was in my late teens, I what I did see I didn't care for. So, when the subject came up amongst people, be it friends or...

I am currently running TSR's Top Secret in a campaign I call "Living 90s". It's my most ambitions multimedia gaming project to date. Each adventure is framed around or during a specific event and date in the 1990s. Depending on the situation, the adventure may be what historically happened or...

Uh, Vampire demilich... Before I read that, I was going to point out that while L6 VS CR20 might sound like a stretch, it's not depending on 3 things: The DM, the Players, and the Dice. I typically run published material at lower levels, so my challenges don't have tailored Kevlar vests. It is...

It has been attempted, but surprisingly not since communication tools have been at a place where it MIGHT be practical. As havard pointed out, WEG tried it as did several others in the late 80s/early 90s. I have issues of Dragon advertising some of them. The problem was that communication was...

Amazon's EC2 is probably your best bet from a support standpoint, although technically ANY hosting service that allows you to load custom software would work. EC2 prices based on how much storage space and bandwidth you use, while most other hosts are going to be a flat fee. All that being...

Here's a funny thing, to me at least: gamers, myself included, have longed for the quote "good ole days", but the way it is now reminds me a lot of late 80s/early 90s. You have multiple editions of "The Worlds Most Famous RPG" currently in play with various amounts of support, a different "main...
