    Other adventure types than Dungeon Crawling

    I had the same problem a few years ago. The group kinda got a little too used to tombs, crypts, caverns, and so forth. Eventually, I came up with a few different things to spice things up a bit, such as.. A "forest crawl". It's winter, and the group is trapped in a heavily forested valley...

    Piratecat ruined my D&D game

    Character death wasn't really a problem for my former groups until 3.0/3.5 when a goblin weilding a rapier could mean a quick end with the right rolls. A friend was DMing, and he'd been playing an online game, and got an idea to help resolve this... Our second level party was sent on a mission...

    You Judge Miko (OOTS)

    YES! I wouldn't totally expect party members to adhere to "OMG due process!!11!!1!" all the time either, however.. a few stipulations apply. 1. He was defenseless. Striking down an old, unarmed guy like that? Evil. 2. She's a paladin, within her home city which has clearly-defined laws...

    Planescape Essential Elements - Your Opinion Wanted

    I really wanted to try a real planescape game. We always just used it to get from one game world to another, and on more than one occasion.. when a DM would throw in an NPC talking their "Sigil-jive", one of our group would usually just clock them and run toward whatever portal we were heading...

    The Complete Bard

    Now THAT sounds awesome! :P

    The Complete Bard

    I don't know if this count's as a variant or not, but I really love how Unearthed Arcana (I think) makes the bard into a prestige class. rogue 5/wizard 1/bard 5 - using the Bard as a PrC is something I've always wanted to play. After getting to 10 in bard, I would then look for the closest PrC...

    Make a paladin better!

    Getting the feeling that paladins aren't as good (combat-wise) as other characters, I was wondering what multiclass and PrC choices I could make to have a better character? Some feats to get, ect. Assume starting at level 1 as a paladin and keeping that as the main "theme", but adding other...

    Drow love

    I guess that would depend if I had beaten her into submission, broken her will through torture, and had her chained to my bedroom with the sole understand that her only reason for living is my pleasure and that her only stability is my ever-changing whim.... Or do you mean in character? haha...

    What version of D&D is your favourite to play (expanded poll)

    I like what you've done on one hand. The arcane casting does add some unforseen coolness. The bonus feats don't hurt at all either. I'd have liked to seen the lore of the class added, maybe beneath all the abilities and whatnot to know exactly why they have arcane spells. The bad stuff...

    Anime culture and D&D

    I like some anime. The battles in Bleach are cool, and Naruto is pretty kick-ass (though I could do without 20 minutes of dialouge and backstory during a battle and between each attack). A lot of it's just plain cheesy or stupid-looking (the furry ears on that guy on Inuyasha, for instance)...

    Cheesy In-game things that make you want to scream.

    rofl! I was just reading through the replies, saw that, and burst out laughing. My wife and kids looked at me like I was nuts. That's the winner so far!

    OotS #400 is UP!

    Ever since the dumb trial, it's gotten better and better!

    Cheesy In-game things that make you want to scream.

    hahaha! I found this one on that list to be particularly hilarious. Well, That About Wraps It Up For God All major deities, assuming they actually exist and weren't just made up by the Church to delude its followers, are in reality malevolent and will have to be destroyed. The only exception...

    Cheesy In-game things that make you want to scream.

    Oh don't! Nooo! No no, a thousand times no! Maybe the place shakes every now and then when the PCs are scouring it, and maybe it'll collapse in the near future. The moment after the BBEG is killed just so the PCs can't get any treasure? Booo. Seriously, boo. It's like going into Archaedes...

    Cheesy In-game things that make you want to scream.

    I was thinking about this the other day, and figure I'd post to see what cheese you've been exposed to in-game. What are some of the lamest, cheesiest, annoying, maddening things you've experienced? One of mine is: The Load-Bearing Boss - You've entered a grand hall to confront the BBEG...

    Kill the gods, your experience

    My group killed Cyric in Forgotten Realms... by accident. There was a nefarious plot, blah blah. All we were supposed to do was help Tyr by bringing him a broken shard from Godsbane and getting it forged into a dagger. In the midst of delivering it, Cyric had made his move and there was an...

    Just looking for a few ideas.

    That's a heck of an idea. Thank you. If I go with this whole campaign, that's gonna be the "how".

    Just looking for a few ideas.

    I write epic campaigns in my spare time, and I was struck with inspiration in reading a thread that talked about how TSR flooded the market with campaign settings and such back in the day. Rather than just a Forgotten Realms or just an Eberron game, I would like to run a multi-verse spanning...

    How do you handle your clerics?

    In real life, there aren't undead wandering about and slaughtering innocents, evil gods using their followers to corrupt the populace, and demons cavorting about laying waste to souls. In real life, god(s) doesn't(don't) grant clergymen their divine power. However, look a little at what...
