For 7 levels, Ilan the Archer was the worst character our group had ever seen. He rolled poorly, and even when he hit, he only did a small amount of damage. The he took Improved Critical. Do you know that feat gets better if you make more attacks per round (haste, rapid shot) :) ? Rav

I ran that! Spinned off an entire campign from it! It is definitely one of WotC's free adventures - I think it is the one that came on the CD in the back of the PHB. Rav

Scoops wise, go here and WotC, and you should be well enough "in the loop" as it were. If you wait 30 minutes, MerricB will usually link to the WotC boards actually... so just come here. Welcome :) Rav

Hey Turanil. I noticed you mentioned Grim Tales. Where did you buy it? I can't find it in the Netherlands, and I'd prefer to buy in Europe. Et je parle un peu Francais, so you can direct me to a web site if you bought it online. If you could be of any help at all, that would be great. Rav

Death in Freeport has recently been converted to 3.5. It is/was an award winning adventure, and can easily spark an entire campaign worth of ideas. You can get it from rpgnow. I am an editor as well, and haven't found any errors yet. It is by Green Ronin. Direct link...

The option above is definitely a very elegant solution to the perceived problem. Taking that long in game world time will most likely make it impossible to thoroughly search anything unless you've got all the time in the world. My opinion is to leave well enough alone. If your players want to...

I'll enjoy myself when I see my players enjoy themselves. Prep time is cool and all, but it isn't gaming. I do really need the "creativity leak" though. Rav

I would still read Dragon (only read Dungeon currently), I wouldn't be as rules-savvy (because of the time I used to spend on the Rules forum), perhaps I wouldn't even game anymore, seeing as this place once pretty much saved my group. Rav

http://www.enworld.org/showthread.php?t=121797 http://www.enworld.org/showthread.php?t=121737 And you only get a bonus spell slot of the highest level spell you can cast. Rav

I have a colour laser printer at work, and arrive an hour before anyone else does. I prefer paper over PDF as well. Rav

Yup. Thankfully, I have access to internet again... finally! I was getting quite fed up with only being able to visit sites likes these at uni and work. I even bought a couple of PDFs! Rav

Is that when you get heartburn from drinking too much Aussie beer? Rav

Oh, even I agree there. Temple of Doom was the worst Indiana Jones movie because you simply don't get a breather: even the feast was er... thrilling :) If you jsut have the indiana Jones theme for an hour and a half, you end up with a film whch doesnt't have distinguishing action at all... and...

City Sizes I like. Religion, politics: also cool. Distinguishing features: "Alexandria houses a great library, which tries to acquire a copy of every text in the known world." Very cool. History of the city: A must. Percentages and exact size? Nah. "Metropolis" will do. Imports exports... okay...

I've had something similar with training rules by a previous DM. He had vivid descriptions, cool NPCs, and a reason why the professional trainers were there. So why did my Monk character only receive training for one week? Because I needed enough XPs to reach level 6 to get another week's worth...

I don't think Maddman will reply anytime soon. I think you've just given him a heart attack. Dragonlance/storytelling style =/= cinematic! Put me in the cinematic camp. I think the problem solving part of the game is boring, because I find the problems are never *just* difficult enough in D&D...

Hmmm... If I'm ever going to run Star Wars, I'll us a similar storyline and timeframe. "Balance of the Force" would make a good title as well, I think. Rav

Store has been subject to a major overhaul, really focussing on boardgames and puzzles. No wargames anymore, they're gonna stop doing D&D miniatures, and move roleplaying to "we'll order only what you want - and you have to pay in advance". Magic and games like Settlers and Carcassonne are now...

Bah. I used to work for the Gamekeeper, but they recently stopped stocking anything but the core books (they'll order in stuff you want though), so I know you didn't get it there either. You probably managed to get a copy shipped somehow... oh well. Rav

The problem with that is that it also takes a lot of adventures to level up, which take up real world time, not just game time. I don't mind Timmy the wizard being really powerful when he meets his dad again after adventuring. I don't mind that this takes only a year of...
