I have thought that Ancient Chinese Drumming, like that featured in movies such as Hero (and there is a sound track), would be very apporpriate for a Dwarven culture.

I got Whiterock. Can someone tell me about the Gazateer of the Known Realms? I don't really need another campaign world or even ideas, but if it has some crunch or maps I can adapt it would be good.

C Rations and K-rations were the US military's forerunners to MREs. My father could, at times, wax quite eloquently about the horrors of some of the rations in Viet Nam.

It was mainly just flavor (no pun intended). The party went to the ruins of an inn at the behest of a patron. There they discovered entrance to a cellar that served as a brewery. The brewing apparatus had a vat that was filled with zombie torsos (the limbs were removed to keep them...

We have done lots of food and drink related fluff elements of our games. Just some that I can remember: -Planescape: Some rather bizzare items showed up on menues in Sigil. -Eberron: Sharn goblins cooked curries and other Indian style dishes, and we had a fancy menu at a high class gnome...

If he is a king his duty is to get back home. Of course there will be those who do not want him back, so they can take the opportunity to take over. They send out agents to find ways to delay him, if not out right kill him. His loyalists send out agents to find him as soon as possible, and...

Yeah. I have had this problem. For me it was trying to run a campaign that was a sandbox world with people who just weren't comfortable playing in one. They were used to a DM giving them direction, or to having me as a player run the party leader who said "here is what we are going to do...

In my experiance 3PP is easiest to implement when its modular. A new class, race, feat, or spell is an easy thing for a player to use while for a DM any of those plus new monsters, traps, or items are great. However when it comes to entire new magic systems thigns get more difficult. The same...

Choice #10: Star Wars Saga looks pretty good to me.

It does for the guy in post #3, but otherwise not so much really.

Because thats how reroll systems work almost every time I have seen them implimented, such as in Star Wars Saga. And it does't punish the players, usually. They would not reroll at all if they were not pretty sure the first was a failure. Keeping the second one simply insures they don't...

The old pulp cliche is when things get boring two guys bust into the room with guns. Work for Eberron, or just about anything, well. The PCs may have crossed someone who wants them dead at any given point in your campaign, it need not have anything to do with the metaplot. Think on any...

If I were to do that I would still give out action points per the rules (5+1/2 level for base classes, 6+1/2 level for advanced classes) and say "An action point may be spent to reroll any d20 roll, before the results of the roll are known, or to activate certain class abilities. If you use a...

The main issue is the fact that many of the advanced classes have abilities that trigger upon spending an action point. For example, from the Gunslinger: Bullseye At 10th level, a Gunslinger becomes so adept at using the firearm to which he or she has applied Weapon Focus and Greater Weapon...

Yeah, but that was just the first thing that I could think of, since one of the PCs made a cloak from a Red Dragon's hide to get some fire resistance one time. Besides you could get a couple of boots out of a Large Green Dragon, and not even have to worry too much about it, provided the Pcs...

Fantasy Flight Games' Spellslinger does this. 3 new, and admitedly overpowered, base classes and various "brands" to fill out the various spellcasting and special roles. Come to think of it, Brands are a bit like 4e Multiclassing. I thought about running a fantasy Wild West campaign myself at...

Everywhere there are some things only the locals really know. Share with your fellow ENworlders some of your city/state/nations secrets! For Example: Alabama State Troopers are a bit like Sith, in the sense that there are always two. If you see one with someone pulled over, thats the worse...

In my campaign I have allowed the hides of various monsters to be used to make special articles of clothing with some limited benifits. They are never just for sale, though, except occasionally in truly exotic places like Sigil. Typically how it works is the PCs kill a monster, use Survival or...

Except in DnD Rats are not "Vermin." Vermin: "This type includes insects, arachnids, other arthropods, worms, and similar invertebrates." Back to the point, I use vermin fairly often at low levels, but their frequency slows down the higher we go. Much more often than dragons though. The...
