    Tell me about the terrain accessories...

    I'm going to strongly recommend WorldWorksGames if you are looking for low priced very good looking terrain. They do cardstock based items that look really good and are easy to build. It holds up pretty well and you can print out as many copies of the items as you wish.... And yes, after...

    Does darkvision see shadows?

    I'm about to run my players through an area that is heavy on darkness type creatures. I'm expecting the entire party to be using darkvision..... So the question becomes, Can you see a shadow (the creature) using darkvision? If it really is a shadow wouldn't darkvision just see right through...

    In need of a Pirate Ship(s)

    I won't lie to you, there's a lot of sheets needed. I think It's some place around 50 sheets or so. But believe me, it's worth every sheet.

    In need of a Pirate Ship(s)

    I'll add in my voice telling how great this model is. I've built one version of this ship and we used it again for our last game session.Everyone in my group loves the model and the insides are configurable enough that the players never know quite what to expect when they head below decks.

    Sagiro's Story Hour Returns (new thread started on 5/18/08)

    I've been lurking around this thread a long time... But the last couple updates made it just impossible not to post. WOW... That is the best written fight I've read in a long time. It was well worth the build up that's been happening for what feels like years. All I can say is thank you so much...

    Pre-Alpha, really?

    Interesting I think we have different definitions. At least at the last two software companies I've worked for: Design: Means working on design and no significant code is done yet. Development: Design done (or mostly done depending on your methodolgy) and coding well in progress. Pre-Alpha: we...

    Things the rogue class said..and didn't say

    I think we have a different definition of proficency. Everyone I know can pick up a knife or stick and wack someone with it. Many people I know can pick up a knife and hold it correctly so it can't be kicked easily out of their hand. A few people I know, can pick up a knife or staff, hold it...

    New Player's Handbook Cover Art!

    I have to say... I hate the covers of all three of the core books. Particualry the PH and MM covers are everything I can't stand about fantasy art. It's strange because I like most of Lockwood's art, but these pictures just strike me all wrong. I hope this new cover art eventually grows on me...

    'Build' Madness.

    If the issue here is picking the character's "Rogue Tactic" at first level... Let me repeat what was stated above. We have not seen close to the full list of rogue "powers" yet. It may well be possible that 95% of the powers are Tactic independent, so I wouldn't panic until we see the full set...

    Healing Surge: My theory

    Although I like your idea, I'm not sure it's that simple. If you look back at the article on Smites you see that they include: Renewing Smite Paladin 13 Encounter • Healing, Weapon Standard Action Melee weapon Target: One creature Attack: Charisma vs. AC Hit: 2x[W] + Cha damage and ally...

    Ampersand: Sneak Attack

    Lets see... My 1978 PHB has Monks, Bo Sticks, Jo Sticks and Scimitars all of which are distinctly non-european. (Not to mention way too many french pole arms.) So to me I don't see shuriken as being odd at all for D&D. It's always been an odd mixed bag of cultures thrown together for a game.

    What happens when the Defender dies?

    Considering my gaming group are all busy people who have family and Job commitments that sometimes get in the way of playing, we have run many 3E games where we were missing a roll. It normally works out even with published adventures. Yes the Psion, Warlock, Artificer combo we had one session...

    Weapon Augmentation Vs Shatter Spell

    Yes this was the little used targeted version of the spell.

    Weapon Augmentation Vs Shatter Spell

    We had this situation come up in our last game session. An Artificer cast Weapon Augmentation on a long sword. Then someone cast Shatter on the sword. The wilder failed his Save. Should the sword shatter, or does Weapon Augmentation make this a magic item?

    New Dungeoncraft: The Dungeons of Greenbrier Chasm

    Sounds like we have confirmation that Quests are a new subsystem in 4th edition.

    How About Some 3-D Tiles?

    The thing I hated about the Map Folio 3-D and free fold-up paper models were the lack of instructions.... It caused me no end to my frustration. (Did anyone ever figure out how to get the bridge to go together?) I almost gave up on carstock modeling until I found World Works Games. They not...

    Where are World Works Games?

    Per the owner of WWG... They were having Server issues today. They are working on trying to resolve the issue but the host has not been too clear about why this is happening. But the site seems to be up now, but they are still trying to find out what happened, so it may go down again over the...

    We need another BG/BG2, Forget the MMORGs!

    No chance of Planscape 2... I remember reading someplace that Bioware swore off ever trying to write that much text again for a game.... But if someone did make another Planescape game at the quality level of torment... I'd pick it up on the first day... IMHO that game was the best game I Black...

    WotC Dave posts about "Prison Break" Playtesting

    How I wish that wasn't true.... The last few games have just been painful to watch. It doesn't help that I have my friends from up in the Frozen Tundra all bragging out how good the Packers are.... Oh well, enough of the threadjack... Dave... I'm very glad that you shared a bit on your method...
