    WotC Seeking Your Setting Proposals (was "Big Wizard announcement")

    I don't know... Not that I have much personal experience but in creative enterprises the judges (editors) usually at least have the gumption to send out a generic rejection letter, with perhaps a few lines (words) if they think you have a speck of talent. Also, how many proposals did you all...

    Can someone explain Online D&D to me?

    I'm a little neophytic in terms of role-playing experience and was wondering how to get into an online game. But how exactly does this work? I've been to a few sites but they looked somewhat arcane and confused. My questions are this. Is online D&D just like table-top, with typing replacing...

    WotC Seeking Your Setting Proposals (was "Big Wizard announcement")

    Questions from the wrong side of 18 I am a minor, so I was wondering of Mr. Valterra would answer some technical questions concerning the submissions of my proposal. 1.Will Wizards of the Coast have trouble matching my entry and cover letter to my Idea Submission Agreement if the ISA is the...

    What D&D character are you?

    Interesting... A Lawful Neutral Gnome Bard who is a follower of Calladuran Smoothhands. I never would have thought that, interesting. I was aiming for mage.

    Book of Challenges preview

    Whats the Point... Whats the point of a logic puzzle? Do you really want to put a little sign in front of the place that guards all your treasure "Must be this smart to enter?". I wouldn't want a room that weeds out stupid people, I'd want one that weeds out smart people. I'd think that if...

    making Scrolls and Potions

    Hmm... 1. Yes, if another arcane caster has the Brew Potion (or Scribe Scroll) feat and you do not, then the two of you together can make a potion or scroll containing a spell that you know but he does not, just as with any other magical item. The one with the feat must lose the XP though (pg...

    Everquest questions

    Forgive me but it seems more likely that instead of trying to maintain the original class abilities, items, and pecularities of Everquest they would instead just use the historical background and settings of the game as the basis to make a new campaign world in which they would add a bunch of...

    [Semi-OT] A few Latin translations requested for a PC

    You can also just pretend he's saying all the other stuff when he's actually only saying something very similar. I'll translate the rest when I'm at home.

    Looting

    That's Genius That one about selling Salvage Rights to the Dungeon is amazing. It adds an interesting out-of-session wrap-up to each dungeon. Furthermore it could tie in with stronghold-building (and the amazing amount of money needed for that). It also opens the door to a few good beginning...

    [Semi-OT] A few Latin translations requested for a PC

    If you really want help from us high-school Latin geniuses then try to put all your phrases in the indicative (statement of fact) or imperative (command). Don't say May God and the Saints aid me. Say God and the Saints will aid me. Most of the above are subjunctive constructions in that they...

    [OT] Star Wars Episode II: AOTC - Easter Egg Hunt

    Pod Racer I didn't see this in the list. But in the scene where Anakin and Obi-Wan follow the female assassin into the bar/casino you'll notice that there are some people playing video games in the background as or right after they enter. One of the video games they are playing (on the...

    City question

    Hehe With all those necromancers there must be a whole hell of a lot of undead servants running around. I wonder if people sell their bodies after death, to be raised. I wonder if the undead count in the population tally. Considering the sheer number of undead any wizard can raise then there...

    City question

    I would say no First of all I don't think size has much to do with age. Size has more to do with how large an area is 'served' by your city. Rome was THE center of the Roman empire. Anyone who was anyone, anyone who wanted any say in governance, had to live in Rome and all of those people...

    Please Critique my New Races

    I already posted on the D&D rules forum, but I think that may have been the wrong place, so I'll also post here. I made a plethora of new races for my new campaign and am having trouble decided whether they are under- or over-powered as well as whether anyone would play them as opposed to the...

    Input needed on my new PC Races

    For my new campaign I created a plethora of new PC races. They are all designed to be ECL 0 (equivalent to the core races) but I have trouble figuring out if they are too powerful or not powerful enough. I have also noticed that most people like to play humans and was wondering if it would...

    [OA] Setting Based on India - Resources?

    Hah I am a 2nd Generation immigrant from that great nation, which obviously makes me the most esteemed font of knowledge concerning India. That being said I think you should definately read the Mahabharat and Ramayana, as this is where even Indians get their sense of mythic India. Don't try to...

    What kind of magic do you like?

    I prefer a high magic world First of all, in response to the directly above. Why not simply research such a spell. What you are advocating is a decrease in the power of an existing spell along with a commensurate decrease in level. I'm pretty sure, but not totally, that wizards in 3e can still...

    What is considered ok for paladins in your game?

    I, myself, would think that "the needs of the many outwiegh the needs of the few" would be a lawful neutral viewpoint while "the needs of one above all", would be a lawful good viewpoint. The paladin won't allow injustice to be done to one person, for instance squelching an outspoken radical...
