    0- lvl Magic Missile

    I'm thinking about adding a cantrip to my campaign. Basically a magic missile that has Short range, does only 1 point of damage, never increases number of missiles, strikes unerringly, acts just like a magic missile in every way except it is only 1 damage. It's useful cuz it doesn't require an...

    Skeleton Key magnetic dungeon?

    Yes, Dwarven Forge is pretty limited in the shapes you can make, unless of course, you design your locations around what can be done with it. The main two problems are -- The walls obscure the miniature figures if they are in anything but a huge room. You just cant see whats going on well...

    Your most recent purchases?

    I was at 2 different gaming stores today (in the los Angeles area) and did not see the Stronghold Builders Guide, nor the Kalamar Players Guide- but they said it would be in tomorrow. I'll look thru SBG, maybe it will be good, I kinda hope it is. [Edit: They said Kalamar Players guide would...

    Skeleton Key magnetic dungeon?

    I was just thinking about ordering some of this to check it out. But, today I saw it at my local game store. I like it, its a good idea, and as much as I love my Dwarven Forge stuff, it's too unmanageable during a session. My only hesitation is... $30 for a aprox 2' x 2' black board, and...

    Your most recent purchases?

    Tell me again what is the point of Stronghold Builders Guide?? I normally buy all the WOTC stuff, but Dieties & Demigods will get little or no use for $40, Enemies & Allies was another "why do I need this?" book, and Bastion of Broken Souls? Sorry, my PC's are nowhere near 18-20th level. Now...

    Tactile Role-Playing

    As for your question, which I'm still not clear on, Miniatures, maps, handouts, physical things of that sort are VERY important to me. Imagination is great, but I just really get there by seeing real stuff. It can be miniatures or even the illustrations from the Kalamar modules, or even art I...

    Tactile Role-Playing

    [[ EDITED ]] My apologies, that's what I get for reading posts, priming my miniatures, and watching "13th Warrior" all at the same time. Thank God I'm not chewing gum at the same time. Thomas

    Your most recent purchases?

    yeah, I looked thru Deities & Demigods, and the only thing I liked was some of the temple maps. nothing else really seemed really "Usefull" to my game. Ive heard all kinds of great things about Manual of the Planes, which I own, but I have not been able to get into it enough to read very much...

    [Advice] Putting more options in my games

    Here is some simple advice. This is what I did a couple of months ago while I was planning the start of my Forgotten Realms campaign. I was having trouble getting started... on anything. Adventures, plots, prepairing encounters. Just couldn't do it. (And I've DMed since 1986). I sat down...

    What D20/D&D purchases have you made in the last 4 weeks and what did you think of them? Mine: Abysthor (S&S studios/Necromancer) I like it so far, but have read less than 10 %. I'm sure I will use some of it. What Evil Lurks (S&S) Oops! I didn't realize it was for 9th level characters. I...

    Help me focus my starting campaign.

    ALERT: Spoilers!!!! If you are involved in Thomas' "Dark Realms" campaign in Bellflower- go away!!! Ok, I'd like some ideas on how to tie together some elements of my campaign and maybe some ideas on directions I can take it. Sorry if this is long and poorly written. I'm trying to get to...

    Dwarven Forge Resin Sets

    I have ALOT of master maze stuff. Probably at least $400 worth. It is great, its sturdy, looks beautiful, and is fun to collect. ...However... I almost never use it in my game, because it is too hard to set up quickly, and the high walls make it difficult to see whats going on unless you are...

    The Worst Prestige Class Awards

    Masters of the Wild's FORSAKER. makes no sense. Shun magic, get magic powers, break magic items to get more magic powers, but you can't cary magic items with you, so you really will get no benefit from those powers. Oh, and by the way, we wont even begin to explain why all this works, it was...

    The Epic Level Handbook, "The 4th Ed of Dungueons and Dragons, for Epic gaming"

    Well, I for one think that PC's power level should have maybe been more gradual. And definitely slow WAYYYY down after level 20 or so. There is a point when you top out your potential. I guess that it seems to me that the difference in power from one level to the next is kinda big. A 2nd...

    What magic item would you want in real life?

    Ring of Invisibility :) with a ring that cast Charm Person in a close second place. I would become a vigilante and probably a thief.

    Mystara and Old Gazeteers

    I just sold my Karamiekos, and Glantri boxed sets that were pretty much unused for $1.50 each at a garage sale. I bought them still sealed at a KB Toy store for $3.00 each about 4 years ago. I never got into that setting, but the monstrous compendium book for it is good.
