Sample Cards Okay. I've never tried attaching files before, so we'll see how this works. (I don't have a web site to host some samples on.) The first two cards a pair of masterwork blades. When I created them, I used the random sword generator from Seventh Sanctum, then modified things to suit...

You can add to and change the TOGC cards. I'd recommend getting both their demo download of Complete Item Cards and their Blank Item Cards from their web site as this will let you know if your software is up to making the changes you want. I mostly design my own cards because too many of my...

Remember that when determining how much military someone can provide, the real question is how much can their land support? A feudal manor could be described as enough land to support a knight, his armor, his weaponry, and his horse. The knight probably came with a servant or three to take care...

In my campaign, I use a system of cards. This has taken quite a lot of my time (and ink) setting up, but it really makes for a memorable system where items don't get misplaced. The basic card I use is a nine to the page card. These fit nicely into the baseball card sized sleeves you can get at...

No, I think they went hunting pig. You don't hunt pheasant with a 50-caliber pistol ... at least not if you want any pheasant left to take home with you. :)

Detailed Trading System In my current campaign, the party has a ship and uses it for trading between adventures or on their way to adventure sites. They have plans in the long run of acquiring a larger vessel and ultimately in funding other trading ships. I am using the A Magical Society: Silk...

Rant The problem is not the HD, the problem is in how it was DM'ed. I mean, REALLY, a four-man party (boy, dad, two trackers) go up against a Dire Boar and not a single one of them takes so much as one HP damage? Come on, they weren't even wearing armor and didn't have any magic items. What...

7) Someone wants to poison the water supply. If there's piping, you probably access it through the sewers or something attached to it. 8) Smugglers operating in the sewers or through the sewers. 9) A black market that's established itself and won't take kindly to being discovered. 10) One or...

I've been DMing now for about 22 years and it took me most of that time to learn one important lesson: Never prepare anything for the game that you don't enjoy preparing. The add-on to that is that you should never prepare anything where the preparation isn't the reward unto itself. I know it's...

Elements of Magic I have to agree that Elements of Magic really streamlines combat spells. We are using a modified version of the system in my current campaign and the two people playing spellcasters absolutely love the system. As a DM, I love it. I don't have to worry about remembering all...

Forests For forests, I personally use a number of tiles from Skeleton Key Games. I printed them on card stock, then glued them to two more sheets of card stock to help make them more solid. (I used glue that applies like spray paint.) You could also use foam core or other material for extra...

Adventure I Table of Contents Here is a copy of the chapter list from the Table of Contents from Adventure I: Introduction .......................................... 4 Chapter I: Bring Him Back Alive ........................... 7 Chapter 2: The Crypt of St . Bethesda ....................... 17...

Dremmen's suggestion is a sales model that can work for a business. However, I believe it works best if you have a rather large number of products available for people to choose from and products that people will want to keep buying more of. I used to have a "subscription" like this to DAZ...

In order to control magic items in my campaign, especially at levels under 10, I work with a model of focusing on disposable magic items. Potions are one of the most common items in the game. They're relatively XP cheap, you don't need to be high level to create them, and they're useful to...

You could play Clayorama more than once, but you had to get new Play Doh every time ... at least the way we played. :) My pick would have to be the Men in Black roleplaying game. It's actually not terrible, and has a very simple game mechanic decent for one shots, but no one seemed to like it.

Right. A little guilt from me too. I come here daily, but keep forgetting to sign up for my Community Supporter account. Done now. Hope it helps. Unfortunately, "Mechmancy II" is the only EN Publishing PDF on my wish list right now. I bought all the rest a while back. I'll see about picking...

There was an old 80's movie called "Heartbeeps" that was a comedy. All of the main characters are androids. One of them was a stand up comic. I admit, it's been a decade or so since I watched it, but if you can find it for rent somewhere, you might get some good material out of it. I found it...

As a DM, I love the Leadership feat. In fact, I've lowered the prerequisites so that it can be gained as early as 3rd level in my current campaign. The Leadership feat has seen frequent use in previous campaigns. It is generally used to represent staff, servants, or in one case the general...

Blackmail If you're talking about a world with lots of politics, blackmail material is also very important. That would include evidence of crimes, but could also include evidence of everything from infidelity to cheating on your taxes to going outside the guild for sales to just plain doing...
