I used the Drunk Monk tavern in one of the seedy parts of Sharn: The PCs walk in and see a stereotypical tavern except for one thing: The ceiling is 15 feet high and all sorts of weapons are embedded in the ceiling. The PCs ask around about it and find out that violence is strictly...

I'd want the book to explicitly state that it is the first (or, rather, the 2nd since Sharn:City of Towers already exists) in a series of books that covers the major metropolises of D&D

Well, I generally don't create entire "adventures". I make material for the upcoming session. I spend about an hour brainstorming about how the characters' actions in the previous session have impacted my campaign skeleton and how that affects the direction that the story is heading. My...

"Sense of Wonder" to me is when the DM describes a location, an event, a scene, or a precarious situation and the player does an unintentional imitation of Neo in the first Matrix when Morpheus leaps across the top of the buildings. "Whoa." And, yes, as we get older it gets harder and harder...

Allegiances in d20 Modern

I would say that the paladin acted within his code, barely. Sure, he didn't know that the deal was made with an evil outsider, but he should have taken the time to detect evil when the party was making the deal with an invisible entity. The biggest offense here should be the paladin's...

Whenever I start a new campaign, I give my players a hand out that contains my house rules. The first statement on that sheet is: "My goal above all others is to run a fun campaign."

I've been playing 3e since it came out, and I've never seen it happen in one of my groups, mostly because I live in a college town and our campaigns are forced to occur during the August-May school year. The closest I've seen is where I was in a group that went from 1st to 13th while gaming...

First off, in my homebrew all spellcasters have been heavily modified from the versions that appear in the books. Arcane spellcasters must have a celestial or fiendish ancestor in order to manifest magic. Divine spellcasters recieve a small portion of the essence of a celestial or fiend...

If I'm not talking in a completely different voice (I do a pretty spot-on Warcraft orc), I am usually talking in an artificial accent. I use alot of cockney for Sigilians when I play Planescape. Accents I use are Kentuckian, Alabaman, Minnesotan, Michigan, Bostonian, Canadian, "proper"...

At this point, I haven't actually played, but I have the books for Mortals, V:tR, W:tF, M:tA, and P:tC. I need to convince my group to switch over to the nWoD. I'd have to say that Promethean is far and away the one I feel most compelled to run. This one feels like it utterly fulfills the...

In my Eberron campaign, I've pretty much given the orcs of the Shadow Marches and Demon Wastes culture like the Klingons. I think that the importance of orcs in a campaign setting just depends on how important they are to the person creating the setting. Orcs in Eberron are freaking cool with...

But now that game continues to live in emulation. I have to agree that is the hardest fight of any D&D game I've played. Now for my D&D videogame pedigree: D&D Online: Stormreach Dragonshard BG 1 & 2 and expansions NWN 1 and official expansions Planescape: Torment D&D arcade games 1 & 2 (can't...

How the games are run depend on who DMs and who hosts. In the past this has been one and the same person (me), but in the past year, I've been DMing at another player(s) house. As for etiquette at the host's house, the host determines all out-of-game aspects, and the DM focuses on in-game...

Yeah, I use the Eberron model, too. I have not yet given any NPCs that feat.

The quote that causes me to swell in pride as a DM, has a *long* backstory to it, and yet can easily be appreciated out of context: "DON'T TRUST THE PALADIN!"

Instead of Samuel L. Jackson as a cleric, I'd like to see him take on this role.

I never played or owned the old Werewolf or Mage, but I have played a couple chronicles of old Vampire and own the new Vampire corebook (but have yet to play). New Vampire looks to be even more focused on personal horror, and the politics of the Camarilla/Sabat have been left behind in favor of...

Man, now I *need* stats for a giant botfly. You know, the fly whose larvae implant themselves and gestate in living flesh. lol, your players will *wish* they'd fought a swarm of stirges when after 2 days they are covered with massive sores, each home to a growing, wriggling larvae

Erywin, I would consider the elementals the same race by virtue of the fact that they have the same flavor text and descriptive text. Also, the barghests would be the same since the difference comes solely from advanced Hit Dice. I must play devil's advocate here: So, would an air elemental...
