    Weeks and Weeks of Adventuring

    Game pauses are one of the things I build into my campaigns. They are needed for 1/10 of the things the characters need to do. Increase in spells, contacting people, their religious faith, working in organizations, goverment obligations, all require some time. For example, a wizard will get...

    Campaign Idea: The Ghost of Carl Kolchak Help Wanted

    As noted earlier, scientific guys are great tag-alongs as are psychics. But I think they work the best together. Hired muscle should always be included, cause what happens when some of the local crime element tries to work with a vampire, lich, etc. Similiar to scientists, proffessors of...

    Turning Undead as damage variant?

    I was thinking about having the cleric give up one of their spells to turn, thus have them be unlimited in terms of turning attempts. Except I would prefer an all or none type of save for damage. Otherwise, some good ideas here.

    Favorite Beer?

    Anything on tap! My favorite beers are harp with guiness being a damn close second...but there are plenty more that I get in the mood for, especialy some of the microbrewery stuff. But, my primary beverage in the summer is Strongbow English Cider. Hmm, cider. I'm going to see if I have any...

    Switching Psionic Disciplines

    He's a mid-level telepath (8th) and all of the players have sent me long term plans for their characters. He realizes, to seize power in his homeland (a legendary city lost on the astral plane, that he plans to return to the prime world to rule) a kineticist would be a better way to go. If I...

    Switching Psionic Disciplines

    Hi all, Are there specific mechanics to switch a psionic discipline? One of my players wants to switch their disicpline, and is leaving it up to me in regards to the penalty to impose if he does this. Any suggestions as to what could be an appropriate price to pay? Thanks everyone!

    Campaign Settings III

    Planescape. With it all of those other worlds can be combined in your planar travels. It could replace the planar handbook & manual of the planes and be so much more then both of those combined. So that regardless of your world or your setting, you can play under the umbrella banner of D&D...

    Competence Bonuses

    Thanks to everyone who replied. Now I have to tell my player that no, these two items don't stack.

    Competence Bonuses

    Do competence bonuses from magical items stack? Armor with the shadow special ability plus an cloak of elvenkind both grant +5 competence bonuses to their hide skill. Do these "unnamed" competence bonuses stack? Thanks everyone for your help.

    I Hate Adware!

    There's another program called spysweeper (IIRC) that is better than either Spybot and Adaware; however, it is a limited, as when your trial is up I believe it no longer works. I can't remember...it's been awhile. Go to download.com and you should be able to find something in the appropriate...

    Most powerful undead?

    I would say a lich, but that's really been done to "death." May I recommend an advanced nightwalker version of the nightshade; a gargantuan version can be up to 42 HD, with a wicked evil gaze, desecration, item crushing, summon undead & spells. Plus, since at a minimum it's 20 ft tall, you...

    How many Players in your game?

    Currently 5, as someone had to drop out because of scheduling problems a few weeks ago. As a DM, I like 6-7 players because it gives the group many options, plus if 1-2 people can't make it, we can still game on the weekend.

    How many of you have your own Homebrew game system?

    Why did you design new rules? Yes, lots of them. How long did it take? Umm, 10 + years, and still adjusting. Did you ever want to publish it? Yes. Gave that up a while ago...it will never happen. Did you every actually run the System? Yes. If you don't play it anymore why not? No, I still...

    Combat in your game

    Aprox 90% of what we use are heroclix (I think) which one of the players brought so we could use. We have a few silver minis which are official WoTC, but neither I nor any of my players have the money to invest in proper minis. What we have serve us quite well, in that we know where everyone is...

    Campaign Settings II

    Dark Sun, Spelljammer & Planescape for me. I borrow heavily from all three of these and would love to have some more neat ideas from unusual settings like these. I shy away from the large all emcompassing settings like FR or now Eberron...it is really hard to have your own homebrew setting when...

    I hope Eberron is a flop. Am I evil?

    dead isn't evil. he may not have kindness in his heart, but thats a whole different story. as someone who will not be buying eberron, but also did I nor will I buy forgotten realms, I hope the setting does well and makes the parent company money hands over fist. I hope I'm not evil either...

    How many levels in your dungeon?

    If it doesn't have at least a dozen...it's not a "real" dungeon. Just a romp.

    SpellJammer

    I love so many spelljammer features. While I have never ran a full SJ campaign, at least 4 of my campaigns over the years have used jammers, as in space flying ships and sometimes with extended missions in space. Jammers, in my world require a 5th level Wizard, Cleric or Psion to power, but...
