    A Non-PHB only game?

    My "suggested" arrangement to my players is likely going to be a Knight or Warblade, Healer, Wujen or Archivist, and a Factotum. Likely will be throwing in a Warmage NPC. Im pretty sure based on what I know of my potential players we will wind up with a Raptoran, Kiloren(sp?), Changeling, and a...

    A Non-PHB only game?

    So I am thinking of running a game where no PHB races or classes are used. All other WOTC sources for races and classes are allowed (with the exception of subraces/variants of PHB races) Has anyone ever tried anything similar and if so what was your experience?

    Dragon #354

    Ok, either we are getting a golem made of holy scripture OR we are getting a golem made of canons. Either way on name alone this will wind up in my campaign setting.

    Tabletop Aids

    When I play I keep a laptop with good ole Notepad open for notes, statuses, etc, and a second copy of notepad open with my character on it, the "print" version of the character only reflecting permanent changes and being dm refference. Fortunately where we play I can always keep it to the side...

    Horses at high level?

    Our DM allowed us at higher levels to take a special version of leadership which effectively made our horses a cohort, we simply advanced thier hit dice and gave them feats and skill points. This worked pretty well with a game ending at around level 15.

    The most lame Abyssal level

    I could see an abyss level that has a level-spanning antimagic/psionics field that allows gates in but not out. All ecology would conform to prime material norms and the landmasses would be giant orbs floating in a vaccume of stars circling a single sun. The natives would be unaware that the...

    Need some help with campaign building...

    On "needing" Grell and Beholders Well, I would like to have them, Grell always seemed to me to be almost strait out of the mythos. Beholders...well what game doesnt need giant ticked-off xenophobic eyeballs:

    Need some help with campaign building...

    Hullo ENworld! Im having a little trouble with one aspect of my current world building. I am planning a game where the far plane long ago tried to encroach on the prime material and via the creation of a mcguffin the farplane was sealed and barred from the prime material. Fast forward 10000...

    Music for my game

    The first and second season Battlestar Galactica soundtracks (the new series not the old) work good at our RPG sessions. Other than that we have a mish-mash of various video-game soundtracks.

    Any pitfalls to psionics replacing magic?

    People's opinions about the book aside, I would not try to run the type of campaign you suggest without Complete Psionic. It has psionic healing powers in it among other things that allow psionics to cover some of the pitfalls of not having certain casters in your group.

    Replacement PCs: what level?

    We bring in replacment PCs at a level equal to the lowest level fo the party with exactly enough XP to put them halfway to the next level (or an ammount equal to the lowest level PC if it is lower than halfway)

    Craziest combat move by a PC

    Playing a Human psychic warrior in a Dark Sun game. We came upon some magera(kinda like psionic ogres) trying to capture humans for slaves. Now we were outnumber almost 2-1 and we were at a level where a single Magera can be a tough fight but 10 was out of the question and they had hostages. My...

    DDM Unhallowed - full set list.

    You can practically do that with Maug's in the current set. Those things make the boosters with them it it noticably heavy. I figured that out after my 3rd maug trying to cherrypick for a Horned Devil *sigh* Now I pick the lightest bootsers, got some of my best rares that way.

    How have you made giants more interesting?

    I'm probably in the minority with my setting. I do not particularly like giants as presented so I chucked them all together. In thier place I use Half-Giants from expanded psionics handbook for my giants and add any appropriate template for things like fire giants, stone giants, etc. That said...

    How many of you came close to selling off your stuff?

    Over the years I have sold off all my gurps books, gave away all my star wars d20 books and sold at one point my entire RPG collection to buy food. Fortunately 4 years of steady income has allowed me to raise my D&D collection to pre-famine status :)

    Weapons you wished you'd see sometimes.

    I think the most creative use of an rare weapon I have ever seen was a DM who made a boss battle Orc fighter using enchanted Orc Shotputs (Arms and Equipment Guide) each enchanted with flaming burst and a returning enchanment. Party went nuts trying to figure out how to deal with this orcish...
