    Prestige & Advanced Classes: How early can they be acquired?

    The rule seems to be around level 6 for a PrC, though some are designed in later (eg. Archmage, which requires 13th level, IIRC). The key limitation on how high a level you have to be to enter the class is the size of the class - every non-epic PrC I've seen has been designed so you can start...

    Perfect Mini Storage?

    That's rather cool, though it doesn't seem to hold much. I've been using something like this: http://www.fine-tools.co.uk/Merchant2/merchant.mvc?Screen=PROD&Product_Code=PP-TBC430&Category_Code=030 The internal dividers are perfect for sorting the minis into sub groups (humans, dwarfs...

    Planar Structure for Campaign

    I'm still working on the planar cosmology for my own world, but I'll tell you what I have and it might spark something for you. It's a little derivative (bits borrowed from WW, bits borrowed from the Great Wheel, bits borrowed from Eberron) but I'm happy with the way it all fits together, and...

    Vow of Poverty, Purity, etc. for non-good characters

    The problem is that the Vow feats are basically a good-aligned counter to Vile Deformity and the follow-ons from the BoVD. However, I do agree that they would fit very well with Lawful alignments. Heck, if you change the descriptive text for the Deformity feats, you could open them to other...

    Shining South regional sup for FR end of 2004

    Or possibly not through a portal. 3E and 3.5E Realms material explicitly puts Zakhara on Toril, see the map on pg.231 of the FRCS.

    Real Medieval Superstition and Folklore

    Alas, I'm not a historian, but I found a book you might find useful. It's fairly comprehensive, and had a 14 page bibliography of similar works. Roud, Steve, The Penguin Guide to the Superstitions of Britain and Ireland (Penguin Books, 2003).

    Selecting the Best Red Dragon Miniature - lil' help here please

    From those four choices, I'd go with Gauth, it has the most draconic look to it, and the most dramatic pose. IMHO Verocithrax looks too much like a GW dragon, too skinny with an over-large head, and T'Rakzul is built more like a T-Rex with wings than a proper dragon. Personally, I'm very happy...

    Players guide to Faerun and Amazon

    Amazon.co.uk doesn't even show it as released yet, despite the fact my OFLGS (online FLGS) has had it since 15th March. Sometimes, it's just not worth bothering with amazon :(

    The flip side of the insta-kill discussion... What good are mooks?

    Hey, no stealing my cookie :D

    People who do like the minis, which ones do you like best/least?

    Good: Red Dragon. (it goes without saying, really) Even if the wings are a little floppy, it's such a cool model I had to find a way to use it in my game this week. Orc Warriors. These are so much more useful to me as orcs than the MM pic, they fit my legions of god-created soldiers far better...

    Modifying a Rogue: What this worth?

    Trapfinding: Since the rogue is the only class that can find and disarm certain traps, removing that ability from them presumably removes that limitation (unless there're a whole lot of undetectable and unstoppable traps in the world :)). It will remobe the rogue as an essential party member, as...

    How do you set 'the mood'

    Okay, you are now officially my hero for that degree of sheer DMness. :D On to the questions: 1. Not really, occassionally on a hotdog or burger, never alone. 2. It really depends on the game. For my most recent 'modern' games I've run (Mage and Bubblegum Crisis), I've made up soudtracks...

    D500 Screen name= plot devices

    Kweezil Mestrange (to use my full name, full marks to anyone who guesses where I liberated it from) A wandering halfling sorcerer/rogue with a taste for dark-yet-tasteless outfits and a manic glint in his eye. He specialises in unusual potions and has a tendancy to blather at people until they...

    The flip side of the insta-kill discussion... What good are mooks?

    What ungodly amalgam of the rules has BA created?! That was a particularly good strip :D Back on topic, I've always been fond of mooks in SW, D&D, and just about any other high-adventure game. There's a certain visceral pleasure in hurling wave after wave of expendable minions at the PCs, and...

    Dragon Magazine #318 not your typical April issue

    Wow, this will be the first issue ina while that I can't use something from. I'll buy it anyway, of course. It must be mine! :D Edit: Aha (or should that be ahar?), Pirates! NM :)

    Wealth and Heroic Powers for D&D (based on 4CTF)

    For the past few months I've been toying with the idea of using the Heroic Powers option for Four Color to Fantasy as a standard feature for PC and NPC wealth. Basically, I've never been fond of the distinction between PCs and NPCs for wealth, though I understand the reasoning for it, it just...

    D&D Miniatures: Complete Archfiends Set list and Gallery!

    Very nice, I like that they're filling out the elementals some more, and there are more potential-PC models. But when did Ma'varkith get the boot for this Ragnara kick-off chick? :)

    Best RPG Book you've never used

    In Nomine, loved the idea of the game, bought it years ago, and have never got a chance to play it. The fact it has probably the worst design for character creation, ever (almost randomly scattered through the first half of the book, with no indicatiosn of where to find what bit of info)...

    AU vs v3.5 - pros and cons

    I'm mixing and matching the two for my homebrew campaign. A lot of the AU classes and mechanics fit it perfectly (wizards with staves, a non-eastern explaination for martial artists with funky powers, warmains and unfettered :D), though others have been dropped (greenbond doesn't fit my...
