Also leveraging I'll also leverage the materials for what they're worth. Mine is an alternate earth. The main human realm is comprised of city-states in Lebanon. The Eladrin are my Israelis. The Tiefling are my Egyptians. The Dragonborn are my Syrians. I don't have a Yuan-Ti kingdom defined...

As someone who bought a buttload of those adventures as a player, and then became a liquidator of dead 3.0 product, I can tell you there were an awful lot of adventures, the majority of which blew big wind. AEG, for example, had an entire rack of dozens of half-sized adventure books. At the...

Races Like others, I'm intentionally trying to keep things as coherent to 4E rules as possible in the beginning. House rules are great for alternatives to things that don't work, but I want to give the core rules the benefit of the doubt. One change I might make is making dragonborn more...

It's what I'm looking for, but the site seems abandoned and the key file link is broken. I'll see if I can contact the site manager.

I used to run an Al Qadim campaign in AD&D and really enjoyed it. I'm now looking for past or present D20 resources for running a pseudo-Middle Eastern campaign. Any recommended sourcebooks? I'm looking for some replacement classes especially and probably a good source for equipment.

What's going to happen As a gamer and a store owner, I'm unhappy with the current situation. RPG's are why I opened my store, and now I see no reason to support the many RPG's I have in stock. I can tell you exactly what I'm planning as a result of RPG malaise and low sales. First, D20 is...

I'm hoping to try something a little different by running a single-race campaign. For example, everyone would play a dwarf and be immersed in dwarven culture. The campaign would start in the city of the race, be concerned with racial issues and the players, some of whom are less knowledgeable...

I was doing this for a while with a comic book artist named Doug Anderson. I would give him an important visual for the campaign, such as a city overview or the outside of a complex where the adventure would take place, and he would provide me a water color and digital copy. These were shown to...

I'll be spending a lot of time in Madison, WI over the next few months and I'm looking for good game stores, especially those that may host games. I've found about half a dozen potential stores, but I don't know which are best. Any ideas?

I've been running an urban campaign for about a year now. My choices: Freeport: City of Adventure Toolbox (for quick names and encounters) CityWorks Shelzar Ptolus information from the Montecook.com site You're also welcome to my player's guide for my city...

I'm putting on a one-night role-playing contest for my gaming group. The winner wins a Reaper t-shirt, one of the prizes I get for the 80 or so proof of purchase cards from my miniatures. I'm planning to have the group judge each others play for the evening, and I was thinking they should be...

Downtown Berkeley is somewhat dirty with a large number of panhandlers, but it's safe and hardly a pit. It's got the best collection of bookstores in the country along Telegraph avenue, the best game store in Northern California (Games of Berkeley), and an amazing assortment of good, inexpensive...

I'll also jump in and recommend Games of Berkeley, which has really turned itself around with its new owner. I go to Gamescape a couple times a week, and it's really gone downhill, while GoB has exceeded all my expectations. It now has a huge collection of miniatures, including obscure brands...

Powerful Traps Try combining standard traps with appropriate monsters. Here's one: Disintegration Ray: (CR = EPL) The character steps into the trap and the gem eyes from a roomful of statues shoots rays at him. The PC is zapped and appears to be disintegrated. A skeleton appears in his...

I'm the evil DM in question. I'm trying to gain the flavor of path magic without gimping the path mage. They should have unique spells from their unique schools that they jealously guard. Magic should be a provincial affair, rather than drawing from a universal book(s) of arcane magic. They...

Quicksilver Yep, I'm also reading Quicksilver and taking notes.... Check out the cool discussion about coins. I think it starts on page 68.

I'm running a campaign in a bustling city, somewhat of a composite of Monte Cook's Ptolus and Freeport. Can you recommend some published city adventures? How about your own adventure seeds? I'm looking for the city to be the adventure setting, as opposed to trecking out to some nearby dungeon...

Sounds interesting. As some of you haven't quite grasped, the game has evolved as the original D&D 1E players have grown up, had families and found D&D a pleasant adult pasttime. I see this book as having a small place in my campaign. Notably in use with Shelzar (as mentioned in the review) and...
