    Tell me how you've used Ronin Arts pdfs

    I've purchased several dozen Ronin Arts pdf's, and here's some of the things I've done with: 1. DM's Guide to Demiplanes-I just built an adventure around the Bone Fields. My players need to figure out how to get into the mauseleum that can't be gotten into, even though they are a high level...

    Book of Exalted Deeds - Exalted feat question

    I'm in agreement. I think your DM let you off light. I would suggest that you should lose access to the feat, if even just once the next time you tried to use it, as a "hint" from the gods that you made a mistake.

    Seeking advice using illusions effectively

    I have to disagree. Although the players have an excellent idea of what is possible, I always rule that if a character does not have any ranks in Spellcraft or Knowledge (arcane), that character does not know jack about what can and can't be done. It's all voodoo black magic to them. Plus, I'm...

    Where can I find a Good Source of Free Adventures?

    Gotta agree with Mike. Wizards even put together a chart sorted by level, so you can pick out a couple close to the level you want to play. And a sizable number of the adventure authors included material for scaling the adventure. It's usually sparse, but its often there. I've run several of...

    Creepy Player Habits - WARNING: reading may require a Sanity Check!

    I was thinking I did not have a creepy story, but reading all of these brought back...memories... I was playing RoleMaster for the first time (hate that game!) and almost everyone involved were friends of this one guy I knew, and I did not know him all that well. Well, one of the guys seemed a...

    Frostburn at DriveThruRPG

    I've mixed feelings. On one hand, paying the full MSRP for a .pdf seems silly. WoTC cost for this is clearly less than it costs to print the books out, so it just seems reasonable to pass some of that saving on to the customer. I'd buy it for around $19.00. On the other hand, I really dig...

    What would you want out of a game based on Ancient Egypt?

    Ancient Egypt? Historical accuracy is cool, and helps add good flavor. There are so many great things to play with in Egypt's 3000+ BCE history that it's hard to say where I would want it to go. Really Old Kingdom, before the country was united and most of the monuments were built? New Kingdom...

    Monster Manual III: Buying?

    I recently purchased Tome of Horror II, and it will take me years to get through all the things I want to use from that, so no MM III for me. Plus I can't buy it electronically :]

    Blasphemous Secrets and Forbidden Lore

    Ok, I bought it, and my early impressions are mixed at best. I think I will write a review when I get some time. Early Impressions: Layout could use some help. Actual game mechanics (term usage comes to mind right off) could use some editing. Product concept seems sound Art seemed ok, did not...

    Blasphemous Secrets and Forbidden Lore

    Yes, and that might be the way it goes if no one has anything helpful to say. But why not leverage the might of the EnWorld community if possible?

    Blasphemous Secrets and Forbidden Lore

    Blasphemous Secrets and Forbidden Lore by Plain Brown Wrapper Games has just been releashed, and it's full of things that sound like they will interest me. I just wanted to know if anyone has already picked it up, maybe had an advance copy, and had any input on the quality of the product. They...

    DriveThruRPG

    1. I was not one of those folks screaming that I would never buy one of your products again of you used DRM, as I had little experience with it. 2. I've purchased several products from drivethrurpg.com. I've purchased dozens from rpgnow.com. 3. I've had a least some problem with every product...

    Evil Campaigns

    We are currently running a very evil campaign. Yes, there are some problems with the characters trying to kill each other. We're quite high level now (18 or 19th) and I spent LEVELS of adventuring time setting up schemes and protections so the rest of the party would not kill me. We eventually...

    Hints about Complete Arcane?

    I've got to agree, most of the ToB PrC were pretty lame in my humble opion. I greatly preferred the ones form either Dragon of FR accessories.

    Books the Ennies convinced me to look at and that I intend to buy: Redhurst: Academy of Magic (Human Head Studios) Grimm (Fantasy Flight Games) I was going to include a Past Ennie Winners/Nominations I bought after they were brought to my attention, but I can't find it now. I know I bought...

    Worst D&D products ever.

    3.0 Psionics. I really wanted to play a psion, but could never figure out a combination that seemed reasonable or that did not have crazy high stats for everything. Book of Challanges. I'm ashamed I spent money on it. What was I thinking? 3.0 Deities and Demigods. Worthless to me. Monsters of...

    Share your experiences with familiars.

    First, I'm currently reading Dweomarcraft:Familiars, and it's pretty cool and a great resource for familiar ideas. Second, out campaign has a sorcerer with a raccoon familiar who is actually a reincarnated 10th rogue. Who hates his master. Nothing but fun, and of course, he never uses his rogue...

    Rappan Athuk free

    I see lots of "I'm not getting it because of DRM". Just want to add some thought from my experience. I've been downloading all of the free products from drivethrurpg, and several of them are products I would have NEVER bought, or even looked at. This has prompted me to look more closely at...

    Dungeon Siege (Microsoft Games): Ever played?

    Right, no plot, linear, limited strategy, the cool items were always way too expensive when you found them in shops, and worthless by the time you could afford them. Combat strategy was limited, and even though any character could progress in any area, to be effective you actually had to...
