    War of the Dragon Queen - Complete set list and pictures!

    Wow! I've been pretty 'meh' about the last few sets, but these look awesome. I think I may have to buy my first case of minis. Question: What is the 'bluespawn godslayer' from and is it as nifty as it looks?

    How to make maps

    Nice tutorials der_kluge! I've been doing various things with computer graphics since the early 90's (professionally for a while) and still have a fond place in my heart for MS Paint. I'm a firm believer that if you can't do it in Paint, you shouldn't be doing it. Not to say that Paint is...

    Collaborative Cave!

    If I might offer a suggestion to both take care of the difficulty linking the bridge builders to room 12 and getting PCs to explore a potential underwater sub-cave: In room 12 (with whatever ancient leftovers) place a shaft with worked ladder rungs leading straight down. A large piece of...

    Current Favorites (again)

    Currently enjoying Noein, which isn't terribly new but also isn't terribly old. It's fairly difficult to describe other than being sci-fi drama with some sporadic over-the-top fighting. Also Nana looks good so far, though I'm only up to episode 3. Same with Black Lagoon and Ergo Proxy. My...

    You are in charge of what WOTC puts out for DnD.

    Reading Stormborn's comment about with the talk about packaging d&d material with anime/manga products gave me an idea that seems almost ridiculous enough to work. See, what you do is vastly condense the d&d rules, dice them into, say, 4 class-specific segments (Fighter, Sorcerer, Rogue...

    [May] What are you reading?

    Currently reading Ian Graham's Monument which is turning out to be quite good. The main character is a total bastard, which usually doesn't work for me but Graham manages to make it fun to read. Recently started but had to give up on The Man Who Tasted Shapes because the author spent 3/4ths or...

    Birthright

    I recall playing Birthright back, oh, probably around 96 or 97 I think it was. It was whenever the setting first came out (at least in its AD&D edition, if it had any previous ones of which I am unaware). That's a bit ago, so my recollections may be way off, but... I remember not really being...

    Man, I miss the days of good, solid, utilitarian Prestige Classes

    My take on PrCs has always been that they existed as options to represent organizations, special training, or developments under unusual circumstances in a campaign world. Even the seemingly utilitarian ones like Exotic Weapon Master were, I assumed, meant to be used in conjunction with some...

    [Eberron] Make My McGuffin

    Using a massive bound advanced paragon elder earth elemental of legendary blah-blah-lots-of-hitdice, the machine wrenches vast swaths of earth through its maw (think instant open-pit mine centered on the device when it's switched on). Out the other end comes a block of extremely heavy...

    "First Edition Feel"

    Okay, so my post count is pretty low (bordering on non-existant) but I've been lurking for a good bit and this thread has thrown me into complete confusion. I assumed that the edition wars were because people really liked some part of the old edition rules or had a setting they loved and didn't...

    New players and roleplaying

    I know it's largely a matter of time and whether a person is the RP type or not, it's just been so long since I was at that stage in my gaming career that I don't remember what it's like :) I think I'll try the IC-half-hour idea tomorrow night. I've played in groups where the rule was...

    New players and roleplaying

    I'm DMing a small (4+DM) group. Of the five of us, three are old hands at DnD, one has a fair amount of experience under his belt, and we have one newbie. The campaign's been going great so far (if only I could find a couple more regular players...), but I do have one or two problems. The big...

    Seeking DnD 3.5 Gamers in Columbia SC

    Cleverly disguised bump! We're playing a sort-of-homebrew starting (well started) in FR and then moving out to the planes (likely using a modified Eberron as a new base of operations, though maybe not, depending on where the PCs decide to go). Also incorporating elements from CoC d20. Party of...

    Seeking DnD 3.5 Gamers in Columbia SC

    I'm looking for a player or two to join an ongoing campaign (though not ongoing for very long as yet). Prospective players should be experienced with DnD in general, even if not particularly with 3.5. We play Wednesday evenings, 8pm to 12:30/1am or so. Adults with own transportation only...
