    Damn! Now I need to get some cash together in the paypal account so that I can buy this sucker. Will be interesting to see how you have put it together Spence and if it is something my group is looking for. But it will have to wait til after the holiday as that is where all the cash has gone...

    Free adventure database?

    Just wondering where this disappeared to, is it still updated and if so where can I find it? I looked through where I thought it would be and can't seem to find it. Any help appreciated!

    Prestige Class Progression

    In either the first Librum Equitis or the second, Hellhound came up with some reasons as what it means when a PrC is 5 levels, or 3 or 10. I believe 10 levels is seen as a natural progression of any of the core classes. 3 or 5 levels is seen as a specialist PrC and is solely focused on one...

    Sneak Attack With a Thrown Weapon

    I thought flanking was only possible with melee weapons? I know you can't flank with a ranged weapon like a bow, but thought it wasn't possible with a thrown weapon? Or do you mean the person is 5 foot away from the target (as in standing next to them) and flanking and you want to throw a...

    I'm Published! A Writer's POV

    As I don't want to hijack this thread (great to read the original post and the replies), I'll just give you my email address so we can talk about this elsewhere. But yes I would be interested, but please look at my location: Australia. I'm not sure if the publisher would want to send a review...

    Looking for info on Starmantle

    Unfortunately Starmantle is one of those settlements that hasn't been detailed. Your closest supplement would have been the Vilhon Reach by Jim Butler, but unfortunately it stops at Guthmere Forest. There is no info in the old Grey Box or the revised Campaign Setting either. So the books by...

    Mithril Hall

    As Davelozzi stated, Fonstad's Atlas is what you are looking for. Also Profantasy included alot of Fonstad's Atlas as CC2 maps in the CD archive Forgotten Realms atlas and this would save you the mapping required. Pages 82 to 85 of the Atlas have the maps of Mithril Hall and there is one map...

    I'm Published! A Writer's POV

    I saw the initial thread on Primer of Magic on usenet and left it alone, for the same reasons you mentioned. The only reason I still look on newsgroups is to see if there is anything interesting at all. But to your question - a few places to announce new d20 or rpg related material. Of course...

    New Ranger Paths

    Funny you should mention other paths for the other classes. In my homebrew that I am making at the moment I am giving all core classes a bonus feat at 1st level, that they can use to specialise themselves or use for a regular feat. Each class has a small selection of feats that make them...

    [Friday Five] The Sigil, ST Cooley Publishing

    I'm also interested in Buy the Numbers. Sounds a little bit like the old 2e Powers and Options, but more in depth.

    New Ranger Paths

    The assassin ranger path is an intriguing one that I hadnt thought of. However, would you allow it for only evil rangers, due to the poison use, of open to all rangers regardless of alignment?

    New Ranger Paths

    Ok, so we basically have a spear ranger path down pat, can anyone think of anything else? I like the idea of a skill based ranger, but wonder what else there might be?

    New Ranger Paths

    I'm looking at something similar for my campaign coming up and was sure that I had read on a forum somewhere a few other combat styles, but I can't find them. However I did find out that Quint Ranger from Mongoose does have a few more combat paths - spear, mounted and something else. I am...

    Counterspelling counterspells?

    Something I thought of during the week, if a spellcaster is attempting to counterspell a spell, is it possible for yet a third spellcaster, with a readied action, to attempt to counter the counterspell? (I know this sounds like Magic:the Gathering, countering the counter that counters the spell...

    Help with Freelance Editor Payrate

    I don't think there is any set percentage to pay freelance editors, especially if the final product is pdf. The only thing you can do is ask around other pdf publishers and ask how much they are spending on editing. I think somewhere between 5% and 15% depending on your other costs - art...

    Thoughts on S&S's Advanced Player's Handbook

    Just wondering if anyone has picked this up yet. I glanced through it a day or two ago and just thought it was another Unearthed Arcana. New variant rules and magic systems, etc. What people might like if they go epic is the continued progression of the core classes to 30th level. S&S did not...

    Your First Time

    The very first time I DMed was when we were introduced to Basic D&D. The group of us were all pretty new to roleplaying and had just finished a TMNT adventure that ended horribly wrong. One of the guys moved into a new rental place and found the Basic Box Set with B2. I volunteered to learn the...

    Need a list of fantasy books that have thievery in them

    The Nightrunner series (Luck in Shadows, Stalking Darkness & Traitor's Moon) by Lynn Flewelling is what someone mentioned earlier about an apprentice thief and a master rogue. City of Ravens by Richard Baker is a tale of a classic rogue who also has some magical ability that he uses to full...

    Heightened/Diminished PHB spells

    I've had the book since it came out Dom, but this is the first time I am needing help with something from the book. See I am lazy and don't have the time myself to create diminished/heightened effects of all the other PHB spells as I am using aspects of AU in my upcoming campaign. So was...
