I apologize if this is common knowledge, but I've just stumbled across a great sound effects site which I'm sure a lot of people will find really useful (especially if they DM with their computer by their side like I do). All the sounds are free to download for evaluation, and if you like them...

Blimey, 4 plays. Good luck! Well, for starters you could do a Shakespere play. Probably a comedy like Taming of the Shrew or Midsummer Nights dream. Shakespere should keep the parents happy, and depending on your kids they might get something out of it (a bit of a nightmare in the line...

Thanks for the replies. I'm very tempted by the all magic items drained and then reassigned magic properties" idea. In fact I'm tempted to extend it to include everyday items that happen to be hanging around the pace - a +3 flaming keen bookcase anybody? I'm also tempted to give my players...

My players are currently poking around a Dark Creeper city trying to find out why the Dark Creepers have suddenly started venturing up onto the surface world and stealing a bunch of very powerful magical items. What they have yet to find out is that a mind flayer has charmed the leaders of the...

I've got a version I did in Word. It's not perfect but it serves most of my purposes. If you email me I'll send it to you.

First choice would have to be Batman. However I always have a really big soft spot for Booster Gold and Blue Beetle the way they were written by Giffen and DeMattis in the late 80's early 90's.

I agree with the whole run with it argument. Some of my best gaming sessions have resulted from when something a player says or does changes the direction of a game: Player: "I bet there is some kind of magician controlling that dragon" GM: "Hmmm" The players think that they have been very...

Yeah, that really bugs me. I sold a ton of second edition stuff and made a fair bit of money from it. Nothing near the cover price but a lot more than if I had just chucked them or taken them to my local games store. This was back in 2000 and so things may have changed now. I seem to...

http://www.paradoxplaza.com/files/eu_music.zip Is a bunch of music sutable for roleplaying from the computer game europa unversalis2. Or at least thats what one of my players tells me.

Film soundtracks are often best. Gladiator is good, as is Lord of the rings. The disadvantage to suic film soundtracks is that some of your players may recognise them and be put off, especially if you are crossing genres such as using star wars attack of the clones soundtrack in a D&D game...

Next time I do water I think I'll have a light blue "shallow water" round the land masses, then a darker blue to show deeper water. That may break up a bit of the blandness.

oh yes.... My apologies to any ozzies or kiwis out there for ripping off their countrys!

Here's another map I made, still in corel photopaint, but with the lettering done in Corel draw. I keep forgetting/losing the textures I used for mountains ect, and so never get it looking quite how I would like. Still, I'm pretty pleased with this one. I'm planning on doing some close up maps...

I drew the coastlines in a fine tipped pen and scanned it in. The rest was done by just masking off areas and then using fill with various textures. I was particularly pleased with the way the mountains came out, but on my last map I couldn't remember how I'd done it! I spent about three hours...

Can't she be both?:)

Here's a link to a map I did last year for a campaign I was running. I was pretty pleased with it at the time but I've since done a better one (but haven't uploaded it to the internet yet). Map of the Second Shard Let me know what you think.

Does anyone know where I can find d20 rules for mechs? One of my players has expressed an interest in running a D20 battletech type game, but he's not to sure about adapting the rules himself. It's not often I get to actually play and so want to make it as easy for him as possible! Cheers.

I use index cards with monster/npc stats and stuff on them, and on the back of each one I've glued half an index card in a kind of pocket type thing. I slip the appropriate counter into these pockets. Of corse this only works if you use flat counters. I tend to make my own using scanned...

I think its just meant to be humorous, like all the Llama stuff that gets put into Sim City and the like. You do know that to Fart is to break wind? I'm assuming that's not just a british term.
