    Small Press author in litte shamed letters apologizes

    Ok. Having now said that (thank you) how about a link to the book? :)

    Cave of the spiders - Newbie PbP GM

    Girble intones a prayer to Yondalla, and all the companions feel her presence guiding and protecting them. He then rushes toward the immense spider, drawing his morningstar and voicing a fierce snarl. Donnybrook looses another barrage of arrows at the spider, but his usually flawless aim seems...

    Cave of the spiders - Newbie PbP GM

    Just a quick OOC note to let you know I'm crushed at work today. I probably won't get the next round posted until tomorrow. Jdvn1: you can definitely get the Bless spell off and it will affect everybody (except the spider :) ). Ferrix, I believe you do a higher die (1d4 maybe) because of the...

    Cave of the spiders - Newbie PbP GM

    Ok, I'm forging on again. If we don't hear from Ranger Rick over the week-end I'll consider an alternate. Although the four of you might do OK anyway. As a reminder, the initiatives are: Lucas 14 + 6 = 20 Ery 12 + 4 = 16 Sirius 11 + 1 = 12, modified to 13 to break the tie Enemies 12 Girble 5...

    Can a spider-critter be an animal if it's got an Int of 2?

    Octopus and Squid are both in the SRD. But I agree, you should be able to just declare an exception.

    How long have you been a DM?

    I've been GMing since 1982 or so: 23 years. Egad. I think I'm a good GM for the group I have. Not everybody would like my style, I'm sure, but we have a good time. I'm currently running my first-ever PbP, so you can ask those players yourself. :)

    For those of you who still play 2nd Edition AD&D

    You might try these guys: http://www.dragonsfoot.org/ I don't do 1st/2nd edition myself but I've heard the name bandied around and it looks like they've got a lot of resources.

    Do recreational drugs feature in your campaign?

    I voted "Yes," but only because I had a recent plot revolve around a new drug that appeared in the campaign city. Nasty, highly-addictive stuff that eventually turns you into a violent psycho subject to control by the guy who makes it. Other than that one story line it's never come up. The...

    Planescape: A Hopeless Beginning

    Krikit raises his eyebrows at this information. "Impressive," he says. "As to the escort duties, I think it would give us a chance to familiarize ourselves with our surroundings while returning the kindness shown." He gestures toward Elandra with his teacup. "But those of us with a more...

    Cave of the Spiders OOC

    The map is a little unusual in that it shows the cave from the side (a good choice in this case). Assume the tunnels are 10 or 15 feet wide unless otherwise specified.

    Can a spider-critter be an animal if it's got an Int of 2?

    I did something similar in my campaign. I wanted a creature that looked like a tiny dragon, but was of the animal type. The idea is that it's appropriate for use as a familiar without the Improved Familiar feat. So I did what Nonlethal Force suggests and started with the stats of a hawk. I...

    Can any author here compete with this brilliance?

    That rocks. I got about halfway through the excerpt when I realized it must be a gag. Funny. My favorit bit: "Just as I thought," he thought. :D

    Cave of the Spiders OOC

    Cool. I'll wait until the end of the day today (and change the OOC thread title) to see if RR chimes in. If not, I guess I'll see if either of the alternates is still interested. Believe it or not I have a semi-plausible method of introducing them. :)

    Cave of the Spiders OOC

    First off, has anyone heard from Ranger Rick? He last posted over a week ago. I haven't noticed him posting on other threads either. Is he around? Second, I'd like to ask if everyone's having a good time and if there's anything you'd like to see me doing differently. I know your plotting...

    Cave of the spiders - Newbie PbP GM

    Girble, Sirius, Donnybrook and Lucas move forward, seeking a place to attack their enemies while keeping themselves safe. Hiding might be difficult for the now-enlarged Sirius and Donnybrook. Sirius readies his longbow as he lumbers forward, and Girble does the same with his crossbow. Lucas...

    It usually starts with a dinner party

    He's up, with the Lesser Dragonmark (lost empower spell). I also added a mention of the dragonmark to his history. If you instead want it to be a recent addition, let me know. I'm going to need those action points, I think. :)

    It all starts with a dinner party RGallery

    Caspar Hauser Ok, here's what I've got so far, mechanically. Description, background, etc. to follow. Couple of non-standard things: I took the Craft Wand feat and took a wand at half GP cost. If that's not OK, let me know and I'll do something else. I also tried to cheap out on a spell...
