    XMas came early this year

    You know the fun thing about credit cards? Interest isn't compounded monthly. Oh no. It's compounded daily.

    Difference between Known World and Mystara

    There have been several attempts to lay out domains for Mystara Immortals (mine might have been the first at my website, but that's horribly out of date from lack of time to update it). I've been working on doing something a bit more definite, including some domains from the FRCS and some I've...

    Difference between Known World and Mystara

    What he said. Really. though, it's semantics. "Mystara" is the name of the planet the setting is on. "The Known World" is the region of Brun that stretches from Sind east to Thyatis and north up to northern Glantri and southern Heldann. It includes a number of nations (Sind, Atruaghin...

    (OT) It Snowed!!

    I don't understand how people can get excited over snow. Honestly, all it does is make it so I have to spend ten minutes in the morning cleaning my car off, five putting weight in the back end, and an entire commute of sliding around on the road. Of course the snow Ohioans are talking about...

    "Monster Classes"

    If they went this route (which seems logical), it would just be taking ECL and blowing it into little pieces. In essence, we would see just what a monster gets at each "level" of its ECL. On the plus side, it would allow for players to begin at 1st level as a nonstandard race, lacking much of...

    I F'in HATE AMAZON!!!!

    In your defense, all three items currently say, "Usually ships within 24 hours" on them. Granted, the term usually leaves Amazon open for variation, but I think it should be within your expectations to look for it to ship on Tuesday and arrive on Wednesday.

    BoVD: How's this for random...

    I bought my copy at Media Play last weekend - nobody carded me, but then again Media Play typically doesn't care jack about things that go on in their store - be it breaking street date by a full three weeks on the special edition Star Trek II DVD or whatnot - unless it's porn you're trying to...

    Help with iconics from Basic D&D

    Bargle the Infamous was far more than a 3rd level Magic-User. Aleena should have never tried to mace him ;)

    How do YOU draw maps?

    I use this one exclusively for my Hex maps. The base hexes look like some of the most common old school D&D hex terrains, and it's easy to add new ones if you have some old maps and a scanner. I drew a map of Alfheim (from the Mystara setting) and it turned out pretty professional. If you...

    A question for basic D&D fans

    IIRC, it has some general kingdom rulership rules - things like determining how much income is received from each hex, what kind of events will happen through the course of a year, and so forth. The weapon mastery and war machine rules are comprehensive. The Cyclopedia combines relevant...

    WOTC sold?

    To be honest, the recently announced shifting of accounting away from WotC and to Hasbro only makes business sense. In something that can be electronically transmitted, there is no real "moving" cost when it comes to assigning additional responsibilities to an existing department. Given that...

    Oversupplementers anonymous

    Ah, I remember the simple days of 3E when I had just three books and was told that was all I needed. Now I have the Almost all of the generic WotC supplements, a healthy number of the S&SS Scarred Lands ones, all of the Ravenloft books, the main two Dragonstar books... I need help :(

    Races of Faerun... ummm.. yawn?

    I'm considering it, but it'll have to fall under the, "Wait and see it myself," category. If Savage Species has little overlap with this, then they might make good companions. Worst thing they ever did was not include ECL with every monster entry from the get-go.

    BoVD has already achieved its purpose

    Obviously it's more hype than anything else. Months ago before the thing was even officially announced it was mentioned as, "Monte's secret project," which naturally brought about lots of speculation (on this site alone). I can remember huge threads begging for hints and guessing what it was...

    Relics and Rituals 2!!! I GOT IT!!! (More)

    It was kind of a klunky mechanic anyway. So assuming the things you see in there are really mine, I have quite a bit in there this time. Thanks for the info, Nightfall.

    Relics and Rituals 2!!! I GOT IT!!! (More)

    No. It let you exchange levels of arcane spells for negative energy to rebuke undead. I patterned it after the "healing" spell from Hollowfaust and made the back story centered around it. Two spell levels = one effective cleric level for a rebuke attempt made immediately following the spell...

    Re: Hmmm... *laughs* Not really, to be honest, but I think I was subconsciously influenced by Ocrana of Time when it came to the structure of those bard spell names :o

    Relics and Rituals 2!!! I GOT IT!!! (More)

    It's likely they could have changed the name on some (as happened with my Armor of Undeath, it had a longer name before) or just not put them in. Thanks for looking though ;) My Sor/Wiz spell was called Arcane Rebuke, and the chronomancy spells I sent in were mostly variations of the theme of...

    All of the bard spells were named around songs. bolero of blood darkness nocturne eagle song minuet to nature orders oath prelude to day requiem for the soul rousing sonata The backstory I cooked up around them was about a pre-Titanswar bard simply called the Maestro. They were all created to...
