Glad to have another player or two, so far we have a druid (he is new to 3.5, but has experience in 4th ed.), an enchanter, and a ? (who was thinking about everything from a wizard to a tank). We had a 4th, but he is worried about getting up early :) every Monday, he lives in Florida and the...

Hello, I have a couple questions, and not sure where else I could get information, so I will post the questions here and if you are a publisher, would love to have your input. I am currently working on the first section, the docks, of my first full city. What I am going to do, is create a...

If you like going solo, just disregard this first idea... but, have you thought about moving your game to online. I have a friend that was playing solo and they were getting burned out on just the two of them, so they moved to openRPG and skype, so that more people could get in on the action...

Sounds snarky to me.

OMG !!!! A DM changing the rules? Quick call the rules police and have him tried by the rules lawyers and have him thrown in the rules jail !!! I guess I am not sure why you even care how or why I change my game, since I definitely don't have you as a player in any of them. Good DMs...

I have only run epic games twice, so I am not an expert on the epic rules by any stretch of the imagination, but I have found that CRs are not nearly as useful at epic levels as they are at say levels 3 through 15. I think at Epic levels, you and the party should be so experienced with each...

I am not stating any proposed changes, please don't put words in my mouth, just letting them know how I do it. And, if I remember correctly, and I don't have the books handy to verify, the constitution change from a spell like bear's endurance will up the hp based on the new form and new form's...

You can increase stats by up to 5 points through tomes or wishes, but this is a very, very expensive way to go. Have you thought about making some human followers into Necropolitans if your DM will allow that? Not that ninja skeletons wouldn't be cool... :)

Are you the DM or the player? I think players' tend to prefer the bonuses they get when wild shaping/polymorphing etc. to their physical attributes. A lot of players tend to make their attributes low on the physical stats when they plan on being in another shape for much of the game. As a...

You have some great questions, that show you have a very creative group. I try to reward creative thinking with experience points just like I award xp for overcoming encounters and not just for defeating them in combat. My suggestion to you is that you make a ruling based on what you believe...

Wine barrels hold about 55 gallons. Full, this would mean the wine weighed about 440 lbs, so they must be quite sturdy, having steel bands around them. As a side note, the best wines come from vineyards that only produce about 5 barrels per acre, which is considered very low yield. Living...

Hey there, I am going to be starting an online game using OpenRPG on Mondays, during the day EST. I wrote a lot about it here : RPGObjects.com - View topic - Rappan Athuk Game, 3.5 D&D But the highlights are this. 3.5, set in FR, using Rappan Athuk dungeon as a base. You can get OpenRPG...

Hmmm, I wonder if Palladium or some other company becomes the Switzerland of gaming? That would be an interesting marketing strategy, "Tired of 3.5 vs. 4.0, come and play xyz, we promise not to make you buy a new edition every 5 years"

I used to think D&D was like basketball, where you had a team of players all with a common goal. To me this made sense. Everyone was trying to stop the giants from pillaging, Lolth from taking over greyhawk, etc. When the party found an item, it was always about who could best use it, not who...

lol, time travelling one direction, aging :) I am in my 40's now and started when I was in junior high. Maybe that added to the game, being that age when I discovered it. Now, I am old and cynical, and when I see all these silly "old school feel" games, I have to wonder who they are trying...

I don't think the "feel" of 1st edition will ever be recaptured by a rpg. When I first got my AD&D PHB and DMG, back in '77, it was like a whole new world was opened up for me. It was new, it was original, it was complete. I loved it. I read the books over and over and reveled in their depth...

Wow, talk about a jackhole response... what are you so enraged about? That someone doesn't like 4.0? Get used to it, get over it, move on.

In a non combat situation, no, the person on your side would not provide cover, so your shot would be without penalty. In a combat situation, you would need precise shot to avoid the -4 penalty. At least this is how I would rule it. I couldn't find anything in the 3.5 books that state this...

Into every life a little rain must fall... I try to warn players from time to time that they can run and not have to kill everything the first time they encounter it, but it seems like in this situation, they had a fair chance of winning the combat. If they have +2 weapons, then they can...

I have to disagree here. When you go to a restaurant or a movie, you are PAYING for something, in a RPG, you are getting something for free. If movies and food were free, would you really complain? I think that would be kind of rude. DMing is a contribution to the group, if you don't like...
