I did a massive double-take when I saw this thread title, considering I ran an eighteen month long Iron Heroes campaign called the Sundered Isles myself! They were completely different in everything but name though - my Sundered Isles were a series of islands magically separated from the rest...

Friday tabletop group, playing Warhammer: There are four of us in this group, and we've all burned out on 3.0/3.5 (our last D&D campaign with this group was in 2005 and that was a very heavily house ruled, low magic, low powered group.) Me, my wife, and our GM are all sort of pro-4e, insofar...

Chuck Norris is 4E's only instant-kill effect.

Not at the moment, but the only D&D group I'm in is only at 5th level and there aren't many magic items yet. There was one character in a group I was in back in 3.0 that couldn't think what to do with his last 1000 or so gp when he created the character, so he bought a huge number of dull gray...

What Merkuri said, except that I ask for Sense Motive rolls from the players rather than having them ask to roll them (I think of Sense Motive as being a reactive thing, just like Listen and Spot - you don't have to be trying to tell if someone is lying to you.) Only problem with my approach is...

I'm not sure where any problem would be...a huge number of fantasy RPGs feature plots wherein diabolical mages summon demons to take over/destroy the world or similar things. Compared to this, elements of racism/sexism/whateverism are fairly minor, I'd have thought. I've always tried to insert...

Your paladin lost his abilities because of something another character did? :confused:

Not the most frequent poster around. England's working out just fine thanks :) Hussar didn't tell me, but I did glance at the logs...damn halflings :p I'm sure Gugeno must have made a very comfortable set of boots.

Not to mention the brown stains that kept appearing on my character's pants...had I been able to work out an in-character way for Gugeno to know it was you there'd have been hell to pay :p Also from the world of online games...I ran an evil group once over OpenRPG and one member of the group...

+1 arrows/bolts of construct-bane.

Quaal's feather tokens (bird) have always been a favoured magic item of mine...cheap & useful for communication (though not instantaneous as some since the bird needs to fly to the target.) Interestingly, the item description doesn't state any need for the sender to know where the target is, or...

Well I did pretty well...we've been using Lego in our campaigns for a while now, ever since I brought my collection of minifigs and equipment over here from Canada. Only problem is the relative lack of nonhuman bits, making things a bit weird when we use normal figures for constructs or...

Very cool. We use Lego for our minis in our tabletop Iron Heroes game - here's my character. Knowledge (Lego) rolled: Pic 1 - The middle guy's staff and pet Pic 2 - The left-hand dwarf's axe and all of the middle guy's kit Pic 3 - The lizardman's shield (where did the lizardman come from...

Here's the character I'll be playing shortly in an Iron Heroes/Song of Ice and Fire game. Going off beyond the Wall to hunt down wildlings, hence why I classify my alias as useless. ("No, I'm not a member of the Night's Watch, I just like gallivanting beyond the Wall dressed entirely in...

The bard in the group I DM on Saturday used it recently to stop the group's barbarian from smashing another PC into pulp, giving the rest of the group time to calm the barbarian down. He also was going to use it to cause an enemy that was up in a tree to fall, but had already used his 1st level...

Bane arrows are great. [Rat Bastard DM mode]They're especially great to give NPCs. Your bog-standard human warrior 2 or 3 won't be able to afford a magic bow, but they might be able to afford 2 or 3 +1 *insert predominant PC race*bane arrows. Not to mention that if they get used, there's...

That's the idea - various types of bane arrows, a handful of flaming and holy arrows, and possibly a slaying arrow or two to go with my +1 composite longbow of distance. Rather like the idea of Dim sitting up in a sniper's nest, peering through a spyglass at the commander of another ship...

A few questions re: magic items; 1) I know we've only got magic items from the DMG, but can we possibly boost them up slightly? Specifically, I'm looking at the eyes of the eagle - they grant a +5 bonus on Spot checks. Can I get an updated version that gives +10, using the item creation...

Still interested in playing...I'll be looking to use the marshal class from the Miniatures Handbook. There's a full write-up of the class on the Wizards of the Coast site: http://www.wizards.com/default.asp?x=dnd/ex/20030906b Basic character concept - my character is Dimitrous Theodon, aka...

Yarrr mateys, I'd be up for some piratey goodness. Playing, that is. Not sure about playing at higher levels though - who needs a ship when you can just teleport?
