That sounds cool. I'm not sure how practical it is, but very cool.

There are many virtual tabletops that have been around for ages, and some newer upstarts like Roll20 that have quickly become very popular. What is it that these new ones do in such a short period of time that makes them more appealing than the more mature products? What do they need to do to...

Well, that answer makes me feel stupid, of course that's the best place to start. Any solution I come up with will have to be based on that.

I'd advise again using a device that suppresses their magical powers. That opens up a huge can of worms for the rest of your campaign, especially if they the items with them and use them on your villains. Also, if devices of this type are so cheap that they can be used on lowly slaves, it's a...

In my game, the Rogue has recently got past 6th level and gained the Trap Spotter Talent, which means I need to make a Perception check automatically when he comes within 10ft of a trap. I'm a bit concerned about it and momentarily considered banning it because he never ever has to say again...

These days I don't see the point so much in miniatures when you can do so much with Lego.

I've always thought that the best bit of D&D was going beyond the rules - the creative freedom to make stuff up on the fly.

I DM because I want to play with my friends, and no one else will DM so it's as close as I can get. My goal as DM is to be a "fun factory" - whenever I'm considering adding something or taking it away, I always evaluate it with "Will this increase the fun that we have?"

There was one hanging around a while ago. Has anyone got a conversion for X2 Castle Amber to Pathfinder or 3.5?

I must admit, I'm not quite good enough to eyeball the conversions, especially with all the new monsters that it introduces. As for "palatable", I'd like to reduce the "save or die without warning" situations. With warning is OK, but out of the blue doesn't make a fun experience.

I'd like to run X2 Castle Amber for my Pathfinder group. I have borrowed a hard copy from a friend, but there's a lot of work to do to make it palatable in a Pathfinder game. Is there a conversion already out there, or does someone have some tips?

Thanks, this is exactly the info I was looking for.

I always thought that if you had a magic weapon, you could damage lycanthropes without any penalties, overcoming their damage reduction. I'm reading the rules now, and I don't see this at all, it seems like a non-silver magic weapon would still have its damage reduced. Which is it?

I'd like to put to together a low level drow party to use in my game, but I don't want to have to stat them all individually, as they're going to be PC fodder. Are there any resources out there that might have a group of drow that I could use?

That's very well thought out. Just a couple of thematic changes and I should be able to fit it in. Thanks.

I forgot I had that, I'll look it up. That's pretty difficult at first glance.

They're in an ancient mage's complex, whichever you think would be most suitable, thanks.

Just for my home game. That's a great point.

I really don't see the point of puzzles solved with skill checks. About half of my players like solving puzzles, so I'm just putting in a puzzle to amp up the fun for them.

In an adventure I'm creating, I want to have a door that can only be opened by solving a puzzle, probably something to do with aligning symbols or moving blocks around. Does anyone know of a good place to get such a puzzle, a published adventure, or something else?
