My PCs are currently exploring a cavern system and there's basically no natural caves in the tile sets at all. I'd like to see * small caves * big caves * canyons * twisty little passages all alike * rockfalls * underground river * ramps * stalagmite fields * gem outcrops

I recently acquired Red Hand of Doom and will be taking my players through it when they're high enough level (they're 2nd at the moment, RHoD starts at 5th). The core plot of my campaign has been that the PCs are prophesied to overthrow the leader of the goblins at the culmination of a long war...

We're not talking about a democracy here... rulers who rule by personal might do deck themselves out like Xmas trees for their own protection and to cow the unworthy masses. Having said that though, he's actually a first level bard who's travelling with the party, so I have to place limits on...

You have no arcane spellcasters in the party, so maybe they don't exist at all on this island. Maybe all magic is druidic and the colonies fight each other with armies of dire rats. Your vermin lord (a class I'm not at all familiar with) could become the most sought-after ally on the island. Of...

Gentlefolks, I need some plot inspiration. My PCs are adventuring with a woman Valmyra who claims to be a princess who was kidnapped by sahuagin slavers from a distant land. She toild them that her father (the king) would pay a fortune to have her returned so I hope they'll try to take her home...

OK, it seems my opinions are not so far from the mainstream. I'll wait for my players to suggest PrCs and see if they will work with the campaign. When I've got time I'll go through the meagre pile of source books I have and see if there's any inspiration there. Thanks for your opinions.

Well make sure you credit me when you use it because it's not in the MIC :) . I hunted down the item I based it on - Deathstrike Bracers on page 93. They work for one round, 3 times per day so they're not as useful as you hoped. I think when I use MIC items I'll simplify them because I have to...

I'm a DM new to 3.5e, so prestige classes are sort of new to me. I first encountered them in Neverwinter Nights where my Arcane Archer rocked... but nevertheless I don't see the need for so many. It seems every source book has 3 or more prestige classes, most of which just seem totally...

OK, maybe I just don't see the value in these items. My problem is that once you have a few of these 3 charge items you've got so many aces in so many holes that you forget to use any of them. You spend half of each combat checking your magic item list trying to figure out whether there's...

Good point, but the item level for a +5 blade is 18th. Not a big deal but you still can't have one.

If I get sacked you've got to find me a new job OK? Details summarised because it's not my content to republish. page 132 Scentblinder 8000gp (11th level) - Conceals your scent so creatures cannot track you or locate you by scent. I would be comfortable with a 1st level character having that...

I bought the Magic Item Compendium on Saturday and I'm busily reading through it. There are some very interesting ideas, but there are a vast number of items I'd never use because: 1. their powers are too restrictive 2. they have too many powers 3. they're recommended for levels that wouldn't...

Because those who forget history are doomed to repeat it.

Me too. It's been 20 years and I'm still bitter.

My players are my kid who just wants to kill stuff, and my girlfriend who just wants to cuddle up to the DM. This makes explaining the backstory hard work. I have an NPC they associate with who keeps a diary at blogspot.com where he makes observations that the players have been ignoring. I don't...
