    "Per Day", refresh timing?

    What time does "per day" refresh, for abilities and powers such as turn undead, rage, sorceror spells, X-uses-per-day magic items, etc? I kinda assumed it was overnight, like 4 a.m., but what about if PCs are awake all night on a regular basis? For example overnight watch shifts. What about a...

    The Lance

    How about a Small Quarterstaff wielded by a Human Fighter. At it's core its a two-hand weapon, that can be used one-handed or two-handed by an innapropriately sized medium wielder. Thus this two-handed weapon can do 1.5 damage when chosing the one-handed option?

    What would you like to see dropped from Dungeon?

    Good point, but it'd basically be printed in the same publication that has the Age of Worms maps and stats anyway. The artist probably wouldn't go for it, but I think it would be neato.

    What is your favorite rpg/supplement for humor?

    Paranoia by a longshot. I also enjoyed reading the recent Paul Kidd Greyhawk novels. Funny stuff.

    What would you like to see dropped from Dungeon?

    How about if the Downer cast was adventuring in the Age of Worms campaign? I'd read that.

    Wil Wheaton Drops Dungeon Column

    RE: the idea to include stories of an author's personal gaming experiences during playtesting of their own adventure Why so? Was there no appeal about Wil's gaming experiences by not seeing his DM's statblocks first? If the author DM'd the module with a group of players before submitting it...

    Wil Wheaton Drops Dungeon Column

    Bingo! Very relevant to the adventures, and could even include some of the human element that others crave (e.g. when Erik's cat knocked over the walls of the Feral Dog tavern to pounce on a rolling d20). And since many of the adventures are written by big wigs in the business, (Keith Baker...

    Cold water rescue?

    Take off the cold clothes. Take off your own dry clothes and put them on the half-frozen person. Wring out as much water as you can from the cold clothes, then put them on yourself.

    Midnight Second Edition

    Woohoo! I didn't know about this. I've been out of the Midnight loop ever since my campaign ended. I will definately be picking it up as soon as I can get my grubby mits on it! Hopefully amazon or barnesandnoble will have it online. Midnight is the coolest setting since Middle Earth! My...

    Share your favorite Metaplot

    My favorite metaplot was a campaign I ran back in high school. Over a series of years (while the PCs were running through several TSR adventure modules), the Forgotten Realms faced a severe drought, which slowly developed into a major disaster as plantlife began to die off and food chains...

    Wil Wheaton Drops Dungeon Column

    I agree that switching to broader "mass appeal" content is always better for business. I understand why we have feat/PrC crunch largely displacing descriptive background text in WOTC class/race supplements, why we have obligatory nudie scenes in movies; why we have TV cluttered with...

    Wil Wheaton Drops Dungeon Column

    I don't think a great many people would disagree with that, but I think the bigger issue for some people, was more about location and relevance. Back in the old days before Dungeon existed, Dragon featured an occasional adventure in the center of the magazine. Those adventures were such a...

    Wil Wheaton Drops Dungeon Column

    I am surprised by the number of people who say Wil Save is usually the only thing they read in Dungeon. I've decided that I am going to email a new column to you each month, taken from Wil's blog, for the low low price of $2 a month. You're getting a much better deal now! And I'll be rich! :p...

    Wil Wheaton Drops Dungeon Column

    The articles were good, I enjoyed them and I can identify with alot of what he wrote. I remember laughing out loud at couple of things that sounded just like what happened while gaming with my friends too. But I am still happy that the space is now available for something else. My feeling is...

    SWRPG - Revised vs. Original d20 version

    Seems like we have another one of these threads every week. I always say the same thing. The Revised was a major improvement, lots of expanded material, fixed many problems. I highly recommend it. I love that book! :D

    Do you run monsters straight from the MM?

    I run them close to the MM, but usually with a minor twist to keep them all fresh and mysterious. Most creatures have one or two physical features (e.g. different fur color, or perhaps no tail) different than the MM description, to put a seed of doubt in the players minds and keep them...
