I'm going to complete my two campaigns in 3.5 (Shackled City and Age of Worms). After that I'm not too sure. I'd like to take a break from D&D for awhile, just to DM/GM something different. So far it's looking like maybe Spycraft 2.0 and Shadowrun..... Still though, I've got at least 8 months...

:) We do long sessions. Generally we'll get about 4 -6 hours in Friday night, 6 hours Saturday afternoon, break for an hour for food, about 6 hours Saturday night, and finish off on Sunday with 3 - 4 hours play. Results in about 4 "sessions" per weekend we get together. Fortunately for my...

I'm not sure Canada gets such a bad rap in most RPG products. Of course there will be some that are just plain wrong, but if anyone has room to complain about their country being misrepresented in RPGs it would definately be the Americans (and now that I think about it, any nation that embraced...

It's be nice, but I can't see it happening. It would take forever to do and I doubt they'd want to dedicate the resources to it. I'd settle for them updating the cosolidated lists.

I'm running two campaigns at the moment. We just finished Session #45 for The Shackled City, set in Greyhawk. The intrepid adventures are currently attending a protest against recently enacted taxes, with a massive riot just breaking out. We'll pick up next week with all kinds of carnage and...

http://www.hackslash.net/?p=73 Haven't checked it's accuracy but it might work for you.

I like it a lot, but really wish it was in Landscape format as opposed to Portrait. Low screens = teh good!

Interesting. So the AC penalty only applies to AoO drawn for charging or if there is a readied action that interupts the charge? We've always played it that you suffer the -2 AC until the start of your next action. To the OP.. I'd rule it the same way as you did. I'd also disallow a Dex bonus...

Didn't see my option in the poll. Must have almost all books, but use very few. I'm a bit of a completist. so I tend to buy nearly everything that is put out by WotC (sourcebook-wise). I tend to use not very much of it though. My reasoning is that generally: A) I can afford it. B) You never...

I gotta fourth the recommendation for the Artificer's Handbook. It's about the best magic item creation system that I've seen for Third Edition.

QFT. Edit: I totally misread the OP's post and follow ups, but I still disagree with that viewpoint. I'm a fan of moral relativism in the D&D world because it makes (IMO) for a more interesting game. By having one side be right and the other wrong, you lose the fascinating middle ground that...

When I first started playing in AD&D we ran some characters up to 27 and it still holds the record as the highest level play we've ever reached. In third edition, our highest level would have been about 15 or 16 I think. I was the sole DM for that campaign and I found I just burned out on the...

I can't recall the name, but there is an enhancement or treatment in the Magic Item Compendium that does this.

Just got the PDF last night (probably be a couple of weeks before I see the physical copy) but color me impressed so far. I'm really liking the feel of their new campaign world.

So I was browsing around through the forums and found something that piqued my curiosity. From the general forum, if you follow the link at the top to the RPG forums (going "up" one forum level, it lists a General RPG Discussion subform called "Mystery forum". Following the link takes you to...

I was always a fan of the system presented in Best of Dragon #5 (I think - it's been at least a decade since I looked at it) for determining critical hits and fumbles. Take your roll and subtract what you needed to hit and that was your percentage chance of getting a critical hit. If you missed...

I'm surprised there aren't any Bioshock posts yet! I just picked this up off of Steam, finally got it installed last night, and played for a couple of minutes before the real world intruded. Graphics are pretty, the controls annoy me (No leaning around corners, movement seems.... wierd for some...

I haven't been following the 4E news that closely. Is this true or a bit of hyperbole? Edit: Err... now I see the smiley, so ignore that question :) The cube looks pretty cool, as does the umberhulk (if only I had it for Umber Hulk Smash in the Shackled City AP). Mummy seems alright, the troll...

A major problem with licensing out Greyhawk would be that of several of the named characters (Bigby/Iuz/Tenser/etc). From the sounds of the 4th edition stuff I've read (and I have admittedly not read most of it), those names will be used in the new setting, which would probably preclude them...

I'm intrigued by the name. What book is it from?
