Sean K. Reynolds has a rant against bringing back weapon speeds to 3e.

Crystals & Cthulhu Here are some of my ideas for a psionic campaign that I have posted before. I have not run this yet. Perhaps for a gaming convention one-shot adventure. Yes, I am very interested in playing or running a psionic only campaign. In fact, a couple of weeks before the Expanded...

My urban durid has a rolling cauldrun (small animated object) for an "animal companion". That's just too cool! After all, she's the caretaker and voice of the spirit of the city of Cauldrun. Very thematically appropriate. But if you are playing a regular druid, maxxing out your Diplomacy, which...

I find that the best RPG puzzles are mysteries and challenging tactical/strategic scenarios. The typical "puzzle" in an RPG tends to be nonsensical in purpose. In the Shadowrun game that I have been playing, planning out successful break ins into corporate strongholds has the players in a...

I'm someone who loves to love WotC. To me, WotC buying and revising D&D was the Best Cast Scenario. I rolled a "1" on my save vs. D&D 3e. I believe that if this didn't occur, I would be playing GURPS and HERO games almost exclusivly. I was so done with D&D 2nd ed by the end of the '90s...

Okay, I'll grant you that. :)

If you have access to the Races of Destiny book, it details urban environments in the back of the book, including slums and such. Personally, I would have gangs shake them down for invading their territories, which the PCs will probably have no problem taking care of them. But then a more...

have the head of the chruch tour the cleric around town to show the cleric how much good her donations have done. Whether it's healing the sick, feeding the hungry, clothing the naked, bringing some much needed justice, or whatever the church focuses on. Have some tearfully grateful parent or...

If your PC group doesn't have a bard, have an NPC bard approach them and offer to spread the tales of their grand adventures. If they accept, he will then ask detailed questions about their adventures and backgrouds, writing everything down. If they start to describe a monster, have him pop up a...

I believe that according to fairy tales, accepting anything that was given by a faerie was bad, as it trapped you in the faerieland forever. Anyone heard of this? How about you with the Knowledge(nature) +10?

Evan's Spiked Tentacles of Forced Intrusion! "Wait, what??"

If you have access to the Dungeon Master's Guide II, this would be an ideal place for a fey ring, described on pg. 42. And there happens to be a CR 4 version listed. How about a house that when they enter it, it feels like the house is freefalling. After they deal with their terrifying feeling...

Well, if they were affected by holy smite, then they weren't really innocent, right? ;) Actually, I'm more careful about using the spell than that. My RPGA cleric casts detect good on the party before the adventures starts.

Just wanted to share my love for Happy Fun Ball (aka holy smite). It's the only reason I take the Good domain, and I fill my higher level domain slots with it, including empowered, maximized, or empowered/maximized holy smites. It's an area effect spell that doesn't affect good guys! Which is...

The answer is no; it does not remove some of the fun of the game for him. I bet you that if you ran him through ten scenarios in a row where he takes no damage, he would be thanking you for the best game of his life. Some people want to play the bad ass. Always on top of things. Never fazed by...

The Dungeon Master's Guide II details Saltmarsh, a coastal town of 3,850. It has a town map (no street names), and details 65 locations & basic information of the town councilors, city watch & militia, guild leaders, religious leaders, and other notable citizens. Each location is detailed in...

And HR is...? Hm, aparantly my friend and I had a shared hallucination about Sonic Substitution.

An incantrix/wizard player is looking to add the feat that allows you to subtitute the energy damage of a spell to sonic for +1 spell level. He and I swear that we have seen this feat somewhere before, but we can't find it. It is in a 3.5 D&D WotC book? If it is, what is the book, and what is...

Personally, I wish D&D wizards were more like HP wizards, with wands of infinite wishes. :)

I'm running an Urban Druid as an NPC for the Shackled City game that I'm running. It's a cross between bard and druid. It has all of the social skills and K:knowledge, K:nobility, & K:history. Instead of affecting plants & animals, it receives a lot of the enchantment and divination spells from...
