    Inspirational Fantasy Movies

    The second one isn't that bad. Sure it has actors that no-one has heard about and Damodar now seems to be a wizard instead of a fighter, but the use of iconic D&D references makes this an enjoyable watch for gamers. Puzzle solving, trap finding, the darkmantles are cool, and while there are some...

    My newbie mistakes in D&D

    And Holy Water sprinkler. It was so tempting sometimes to drop in a magical weapon of a type that no-one used, let alone heard of. Deities & Demigods picture of Aphrodite was better than the MM Succubus (imho). And some of the gorgeous chainmail bikinis in Dragon magazine. My biggest mistake...

    nice - thanks Twilko. I think I'll interpose the hourglass between the looking down the hole and seeing the sleeping forms as I want to emphasise the difference in time and that time is marching on and almost gone, but consider the descriptions added - nice stuff.

    foreshadowing OK - I'd like some help polishing a dream sequence that I am going to drop on to the clerics in the party (one is a cleric of dwarvenkind, one of Isis {fertility and life} and one of Mystra {the Mystic Theurge}). They are currently in I, and I have had them do this quiz and the...

    imho the core classes are all good - if played the way they are intended. In many respects the 4 iconic classes (fighter, cleric, wizard, rogue) have a fairly well defined role and thus it is relatively easy to see how they can contribute effectively to a party, and how to make the character...

    another Region I session last night (and it will be 6 weeks until the next one). Missing were the players of F8 and F3/W5. I figured with F7, S8, x2 C8 and W3/C3/MTh2 the party had enough firepower to be able to ignore the missing characters. They had found I4 (and Eight-Strike Fang) in the...

    as a side note - my players used Grease on the walls against the Chokers when I had them attacking enmass a few sessions ago. Quite effective.

    tips on Disciple of Madness. I had the deeper darkness already going, and sprinkled some motes of light floating about the room. They didn't know it was a pudding. It was just an amorphous black blob from which the low sonorous chanting came with shadows being cast along the back wall. I...

    Region I, room descriptions and random encounters Had a 6 week break from playing (we normally play 1/fortnight, but lack of numbers one time and me being away for Tech Ed Oz the other has restricted when we could play). Party is in Region I and we resume after having had a tough encounter...

    Ah - yes - Eva Gabor - better known for her role as Lisa Douglas in Petticoat Junction and Green Acres. Can just imagine her deploring the atrocious conditions that she has to live in with all the icky things about, and it does absolutely *nothing* for her complexion, plus the opportunities to...

    Is GenCon *really* that big that it would cause a messageboard with people from all around the world to go silent for over a week? btw - been having a look through Book of Exalted Cheese (er. Deeds) and the bits on redeeming evil. Has anyone considered doing that in WLD (eg. Sarnikyan in G, the...

    Congratulations Jim! And for herding cats as well! Notice how quiet things went here after you said you were opting out? I was just about to post wondering where the hordes had migrated to.

    Best Value for Money RPG Purchase

    World's Largest Dungeon, and RolePlayingMaster. I reckon I'll get 3 years out of WLD (if not more considering that there are areas that the players will not hit on their way through - and those can be recycled in other adventures), and RPM for the ability to build, store and manage multiple...

    A Horde is essentially treating lots of low CR creatures as a single creature with a higher CR. Definitely makes bookkeeping easier. I haven't come across the Knights of Ruin's Wrath (yet).

    Can I ask why you need them? If you don't want the mechanics (ie. spoiler) and don't have WLD then I don't see how much use any info about them will be.

    You can see stuff*, but there is a 20% miss chance which normal lights can't counter. Like Hussar said - the room is very shadowy, but you can still see stuff - like in a disco/nightclub/dance bar. The balls of light would actually exacerbate the problem by not allowing eyesight to adjust to the...

    I haven't tackled it yet, so thanks for bringing it up ;) They cast continual darkness - ie. darkness ignoring the duration of 10 min/level. **** SRD description for darkness: This spell causes an object to radiate shadowy illumination out to a 20-foot radius. All creatures in the area gain...

    feeling a bit Dazes and Confused perhaps? I think there might have been a couple. You are always welcome here Jim. As folks traipse, stagger, crawl and die on their way through WLD they will, of necessity enter and leave this forum, bringing with them new ideas, interpretations and questions...

    Update on James Lorimor's WLD Downloads site. James has just started a new job which has been keeping him very busy, plus there are a whole heap of other things going on in his life at the moment that have sucked up the rest of his time. He hopes to have some time this weekend to get the site...
