    Memorable city fight encounter? ran it last night!

    I love Piratecat's suggestion. And Gilladian hits the nail right on the head. I've got a scene in my campaign that will involve the party fighting a bunch of ninjas in the very busy market. (Picture the scene in Raiders of the Lost Ark where Indy is trying to catch the Nazi's taking Marion away...

    An Introduction to Planescape

    That would be "To Baator and Back". Synopsis: PCs hear about some people that went missing after searching through "the old wizard's" home. While exploring, PCs trigger a portal that dumps them in Avernus. A few short encounters to get that planar feeling and the adventure ends with the PCs...

    The oft forgotten familiar

    I started a thread a couple of weeks ago asking about the use of familiars and whether they were not all they're cracked up to be. In a game just last weekend, I used a familiar probably for the first time in years. Nothing super flashy, but the ability to deliver a touch spell came in very...

    Since my group can only get in one game day a month, we schedule it from 9-6.

    D&D Cities, looking for a little help

    I like Cityworks from Fantasy Flight Games. It's got some goodies in it.

    Styx Fans Assemble!

    Checkout Styxworld.com and you can find out for sure (if they've posted the particular date). They'll be hitting Dallas in September with Def Leppard and Foreigner. "Weird Al" is coming in July, but that's a whoooooole different thread. :)

    The Gutter Mage (Book of Roguish Luck)

    This core class created by the esteemed Wolfgang Baur for Malhavoc's "Book of Roguish Luck" intrigues me greatly. Has anyone played one? How did it work? It just looks fun.

    I'm definitely interested!

    Styx Fans Assemble!

    Hardcore? Just because I went to high school with a cousin of Tommy Shaw? Just because I made sure the woman I married liked them, too? Just because I have sung my daughter to sleep with "Mr Roboto"? I think, sir, you are mistaken. Okay, guilty as charged. :D

    Familiars, Useful?

    Inspired by the thread on Fox Familiars in the Rules Forum. I have played wizard characters over the (many) years I've played D&D. Some with familiars, some without. One feature I've never really done much with is the ubiquitous familiar. Who has played a wizard/sorcerer with a familiar that...

    Styx Fans Assemble!

    I must say, while Dennis may have one of the best voices in music today, I'm not sorry he's out of the band. I much prefer the harder sound they're playing today. And "Too Much Time On My Hands" - best song ever.

    Styx Fans Assemble!

    I told my 14-year-old daughter (who steals all my Styx CDs, by the way) about "Plexiglass Toilet" and she didn't believe me. So, I had to prove it. Much laughter ensued. My wife and I saw Styx in St Louis about a month before my youngest daughter (now 7) was born. About halfway through the...

    Pathfinder 1E Paizo no longer publishing Dungeon and Dragon

    I just have to be satisfied hanging onto my brother's published coattails.

    Pathfinder 1E Paizo no longer publishing Dungeon and Dragon

    Must be that maturity with age thing. :lol: And I would never have called you a WotC shill. Scarred Lands, of course, but not WotC.

    Recommend good back issues of Dragon

    I'll echo 318. I've also recently rediscovered 313 with the half-undead templates.

    Pathfinder 1E Paizo no longer publishing Dungeon and Dragon

    And that is the truest statement of all. Yeah, I'm disappointed these two awesome magazines that I've been collecting for years are going away, but maybe, just maybe, what WotC has planned will be as good if not better. None of us know until we actually see the product. I'm just going to wait...

    Losing an Eye

    Javcs, The tank is a good possibility as my party tends to take actions out of "character". (Ask me about the sorcerer and the "Whistling Skeleton" sometime.) I think you are exactly right about Blind-Fight and will keep that in mind.

    Losing an Eye

    Ogre, I appreciate your input and candor. I like your recommendations of the -4 and then eventually ending at -2. Makes perfect sense to me. Raspen, While I understand your point, in my mind Spot is more of a "notice out of the corner of your eye while doing something else" skill, while...

    Losing an Eye

    Wow, Ogre, I appreciate the information. I had always wondered about the depth perception thing as every firearm I've ever been trained on they tell you to close one eye to aim. I do have a question though. How long did it take after you lost your eye for your brain to "compensate," as it...
