I love buying campaign settings. Even if I don't intend to play in them, I love owning and reading them. I find that they have the best mix of all kinds of information, and even if I don't want to play in a specific one, it ALWAYS influences my thinking when making my own worlds. Of all the...

I wanted to submit my idea, but I just didn't have the time to write it up. I was just too busy these last 5 weeks. Here's a summary of it though: The main characters are a human fighter and a half-elven arcane trickster. The fighter, named Jav, was a mercenary during the Last War, but went...

I'll toss my question in while we're at it: What kind of things does the Order of the Emerald Claw do? Whenever they're mentioned, it's always to say that they're Vol's military arm. So... what does a lich in hiding DO with a military arm? What do they get up to now that the Last War is over?

Actually, that's not really a problem. The Germans also had a lot of valid complaints (mostly involving getting screwed at the Treaty of Versailles ending WWI) that helped pave the way for a violent movement like the Nazis. One of the reasons Hitler became powerful was because he offered a...

We generally start at 1st, though I personally prefer to start around 3rd for various reasons. Partly because it's hard to portray a complicated character concept as a 1st level character, and also because I find that most 1st level adventures are a bit... uninspired. Relatedly, the 1st level...

Oh lord no. The ELH itself contains divine spells for characters of much higher level than 40. And anyways, the nigh-omnipotence of divine rank has got to add SOMETHING to the CR beyond the HD.

Sorry, my bad. One of the sources I checked on Google to confirm what I thought it said it was Linear A, which seemed reasonable to me. Surprisingly, the rest of my post remains more or less accurate. ;)

I'm reasonably certain it's a (fairly poor) replica of the Phaestos Disc. Possibly a tourist item from a museum gift shop. For everyone's edification, the Phaestos Disc is a circular tablet found in the ruins of the Minoan Palce (think minotaur) on Crete. It is covered on both sides with a...

Yeah, that's a good point. ENWorld and similar sites are great online communities, but most people also like to have local communities they can join. This is where your FLGS fits it: it's usually a focal point of the local community and by far the easiest way to meet other gamers.

No, it doesn't. It's people like you who choke the American legal system with frivolous suits. WotC has done no harm to you. If they either refund or replace the book, they are no liable in any way. Even if they didn't the only thing you could hope for would be a class action suit for them...

I don't have a problem with nudity that's non-sexual is the author/publisher feels it contributes to the product. However, I doubt there are many situations where it does: including nudity opens a whole new can of worms by cutting out younger players, possibly limiting which stores will carry...

I liked Complete Warrior a lot, but Complete Divine not so much. Complete Arcane looks interesting, but there's not lot of info on it yet. In all, I like them a lot more than the 3e books. They're more generally applicable and open-ended.

So I'm sitting here thinking, and I had an idea for a new kind of supplement: setting fragments. Think of it like a setting that's split into sections. For instance, you could have a setting fragment for one particular take on arcane magic (for instance, a Faerun-like fragment with the Weave...

Um, dude. He just announced that he's also going to sell non-DRM'd PDFs too...

The Soul Knife is, as far as I can see, a one trick-pony. It's very very good at having the right weapon at the right moment, but very little else. While very powerful in a specific situation, this is overpoweringly useful in a typical varied campaign. For me, core classes should be general...

I have to say, I was initially turned off by the previews in Dragon and what-not. But I was at B&N the other day looking for some other stuff and saw a copy sitting on the shelf. Figuring it never hurt to steal ideas, I leafed through it. Needless to say, I left $40 poorer with a copy in my...

Yes. A moment of silence on the front page for Ryan and his family.

Damn. Goodbye, AB. You are missed.

I'm pretty new here. As for what's on my desk: cellphone, college course catalog, letter from a friend, random change, some burned CDs, a ballpoint pen.
