    [semi-OT] Question for Australian gamers

    I'm looking for some information regarding the gaming scene around Adelaide, especially D&D. A friend is emigrating there soon, and while she's not a dyed in the wool gamer, she has gamed and enjoyed it but rarely had the time to play. As part of her going-away present, I'm trying to find a...

    (humor) The Most Broken Spell Competition

    My personal favourite for the title: Discharge From the Shadow Elves supplement for mystara. For the life of me, I can't remember the specific details of the spell... 7th level Priest spell, created a fireball style effect with a radius measured in the 100s of feet, any creature affected had to...

    Jace and The Wheeled Warriors, I'm sure of it.

    Gameisms...

    The only one that comes to mind right now: "There's a forest?!?" Most often said after rolling a '1' when the DM asks for a Spot check. If not in a forest, replace with 'cave', 'house' or wherever the party is at the moment.

    Can you get the 3 Core 3.5 books for less that £19.99 in the UK?

    It's only if you spend more than £39 on products, and are willing to wait 3-5 days for delivery rather than 1-2. For at least a 19% discount, I'd say it was worth it.

    Everyone, Tell us about your games, please!

    Re: Lurkers, Non-Genconners, Tell us about your games, please! Whee, first reply... (edit: dang, pipped at the post by randomling...) Five to seven, depending on who's free to game this week. Almost all the time, through a combination of other people's reluctance, and my own ever-growing...

    Can you get the 3 Core 3.5 books for less that £19.99 in the UK?

    Amazon.co.uk has them at £16.16 each, just enough to take advantage of their free postage option. That's how I got mine.

    [Heart of Nightfang Spire] Running the meat grinder...

    I recently ran HoNS for a slightl higher-level party (avg.13-14), and it was still a killer, with only slight modifications to a couple of the NPCs. The worst offenders, and neither of these were modified for the higher level party, were Oggunon, who absorbed one PC and almost wiped out two...

    How often do you game/How much is too much?

    Currently once a week, and that depends on everyone being available [darn Real Life]. In the past I've gamed more than that, including a few months where I was gaming 6-7 days a week, literally eat-sleep-game, with any intervals filled by on-line RPing. A fun time, but a little out of touch with...

    Ever play a PC of the opposite gender?

    Overall about 30%-40% of my characters have been female. Less-so now due to a general lack of playing (rather than DMing) so I end up playing a male PC when I can play because it's easier to get into for games that usually won't last more than a few weeks. On that subject, a few weeks back I...

    how would you deal with the character of a player who leaves the game?

    Usually, run as an NPC and fade them into the background. They might or mgiht not turn up again depending on how things go. Once, I've killed an ex-PC when the player quit, but that was mroe to do with the player being annoying [d20 Star Wars - he wanted to take Force Sensitive next level. Why...

    Planetouched as templates

    I'd seen them. That, and the MM entry was why I decided to make templates for them. As the rules stand tieflings and aasimar are descended from humans. Why? IMHO, the influence of the planes, or a fiend or celestial ancestor could happen to any race.

    Old revisions thread (ignore)

    Something I've been planning to use myself. After all, animated objects get a hardness score, why not golems. The problem wuld be that they'd be all but unkillable. Immunity to criticals reduces the meleer's damage, high AC stops use of power attack and magic immunity stops the high-damage...

    Old revisions thread (ignore)

    For Spell Focus, how about +1 to Save DC and +1 to penetrate Spell Resistance, and +2 to each for Greater Spell Focus? That feels like a more balanced bonus to me. Hell, I think I might just use that myself.

    Post your Big Bads...

    lessee now... The Wyrm: sadistic archmage and right-hand-man of a force of utter negation and opposition. Best described as equal parts Pinhead from Hellrasier and Ishamael from Wheel of Time. For his first appearance he torn his way out of one of the PC's chest, later started a war just to...

    What do you think of one min per level spells?

    I'm in two minds about this. As the buff spells are in 3.0, they're useful for a low-level party. Unfortunately, once they get to mid-levels they get stupid. The worst I've seen is a PC who used extended buffs (all 6 of them) on himself and all the rest of the party, then rested anohter 8 hours...

    Rod of Wonder!

    I've used rods/wands of wonder several times in my games. They've been use at will items, but come with the disclaimer that the rod is there to provide a whimsical bit of humour, and won't be allowed to derail plots or ruin the game. I use a different chart for the random effects, one I found on...

    Scorge of Worlds

    I hadn't heard of this before now, but it looks good. And Mialee doesn't look like she's descended from horses, which is a good thing IMHO.

    This is a Rant [Meta-thread]

    Completely ignores the previous messages except the flame from Grim. Responds with a post more suited to Nutkinland's Angry Chair, realises what he's done and edits it out before a mod spots it. Replaces it with exceedingly politely insulting comments on Grim's intelligence, education...
