I just made a mistake as a DM (Well, GM- it was D20 Past) that after a good 15 years of running games in various systems, I should have known better. I couldn't run our regular campaign because we were missing two of our five players, but the four of us decided to get together for a little D20...

So how's this for a Jack Sparrow Prestige Class Ex Ability: You are Johnny Depp. :p

The Freeport: City of Adventure hardcover has a prestige class, Freeport Pirate that features the extraordinary ability 'reckless abandon', which allows a character to add his cha bonus to his ac. It's 3.0 and more than a little cheesy, but for Jack Sparrow, it would explain so much. "You'll...

PH 2 is going to have to wait a little longer as I stock up on some en publishing PDF's! Maybe I can use this time of need to get my players to buy TFT. I don't think a character has raised a mug of ale since I told them I had drinking rules. Maybe if they read them, we'd see some chugging! --Z

Well, it might have a porthole that could be smashed or lose some key rivets or something of that nature. Also, there are hoses in the top that allow air to be pumped in to balance the air/water pressure. If either of those were knocked free, the bell would begin taking water. It would be more...

Oh good lord... this might be perfect: Eric Idol ( yes THAT Eric Idol) wrote a novel, 'the Road to Mars' which was all about a robot tagging along with two stand-up comedians on the trans-Martian circuit, doing gigs on various moons and so on... the robot was trying to analyze humor with the...

Thanks, Stormborn- that's an elegant solution. It's very interesting doing this kind of conversion-- I'm using the Sidewinder rules, which has a wider range of era-appropriate firearms than D20 past. The huge damage that say, a 2-barrel 10 gage shotgun could do to the Pike (3d10) coupled with...

Hey all- So I am converting an old 1st edition Dungeon adventure ('Whitelake Mine,' Dungeon #18, July/August 1989) to D20 Modern, and setting it in South Dakota in 1876. The adventure is about a mine that's having trouble due to monsters, including a giant pike. I'm switching out the monsters...

I've had good luck with frightening/creeping out players by creating several reoccurring NPC's that the team grows to know and feel comfortable around, murdering them and having them return as undead or other horror. Skulking cyst is nice; an unwilling half-golem who kept screaming 'kill me!'...

Any changes to resolving the figment image spells? I hope not. I feel that they got it right in 5.75. The definition of PC interaction with illusions was clear, easy to adjudicate, and it seemed that everyone could finally agree on using figment images to provide flanking bonuses. Man, I hope...

I am starting a new job on Tuesday so I have no idea what my Thursday or Friday will be like. But I will keep an eye on this thread and hope everything gels just right so I can attend. --G

My players were halfway through a temple dedicated to a goddess of the undead when Libre Mortis came out. I at once tweaked many of the remaining encounters with various options from that book, and the players went from cocky to rattled right quick. Now they are on the evil goddess' demiplane...

I've gotten some good use out of the most recent Deities and Demigods. It has proved helpful when designing the pantheon for my homebrew where the gods are very present and some walk the Prime. I have plans in the future for some very direct divine intervention, where guidelines about what the...

Hey MSD We are two gamers in our thirties looking for another player in our new 3.5 game. We meet in Roslindale and play two or three times a month on weeknights, usually Monday or Tuesday. Lots of role-playing and lots of action. Just last night, my gnome rogue/wizard was carried off by a...

Hey Greg- Good timing! A friend and I are looking to start a new 3.5 game. We meet in Roslindale. We are older, married players who meet on weeknights and manage a good deal of role-playing along with the battles. We rotate DM'ing so no worries there. Drop me an email at iagbe@msn.com if...

Hey Aaron- I'm in Roslindale. One of my group and I are looking to get a new 3.5 game going, as our other group meets so infrequently. We are also old timers who look for a good -to-combat mix. If you're interested, drop me a line at iagbe@msn.com

So how high an intelligence does a monster need to have before the domesticated pig being shoved into it's underground lair signals a raid by an enemy and not a stroke of luck? Also, how many pigs do they buy at one time? Do they go back for another pig after every darkmantle or 10' pit they...

Our DM once scammed one of our players once with a NPC who was selling 'trained' rats. The NPC had a rat familiar or a animal companion perform a bunch of tricks for thr Barbarian PC -- including untying a knot, which the PC thought would be very handy if he was every tied up. Then, with a...

So the cow is calmly living it's cow life, when suddenly it is much more intelligent and aware of its surroundings: "Why, I feel so inspired! We cows have been going about things all wrong! We could record our moos through a series of written symbols and pass our knowledge along to other...

Enough about the paladin, what's up with Elan's sprained wrist? The Order lives in a world goverened by 3.5 rules. What book or accessory am I missing that details lingering injuries such as sprains? And why can't the cleric fix it?
