    What do you want to see in the fourth Adventure Path?

    Psionics. As the focus and BBEG. It'd work really well in the urban, non-outsider, conspiracy thing. Heck, I realize that there are market pressures. I'd be satisfied with Web Enhancement conversion notes.

    need one shot adventure for worldwide dnd day

    Are you limiting yourself to 3.x? If so, I'd check out the WotC Free Web adventures (I especially like Bad Moon Rising). If you are willing to dip back to 1e/2e, I'd check out the tourney modules (C2 Ghost Tower of Inverness is a personal favorite).

    Ceramic DM -- Fall '06 ** yangnome wins! **

    It's going to be a quick jump to the finals then, I guess. {trash}They are obviously so completely intimidated by my superiority that they realized the ultimate futility of their efforts. Kudos to my short opponent for having the courage to offer his composition against such overwhleming...

    Dye Job (Round 2: Match 4) Dye Job Like every other day for the past few weeks of her vacation, Melissa woke up in her featherbed comfortably rested. As always, the Indian breakfast she was served was absolutely delicious, if a little different from what her American-bred tastes were used to...

    Hey as long as they aren't... On second thought, I'll keep my mouth shut. Never give the GM ideas....

    Ceramic DM -- Fall '06 ** yangnome wins! **

    Hah. When you're in a superior position, there is no need for desperation. Unlike those low to the ground who must constantly fear being stepped on by the true giants. As for your decorating scheme - I like mine better. The wails and cries of my inferiors are so soothing. Or if, by chance, those...

    Ceramic DM -- Fall '06 ** yangnome wins! **

    Either works for me. And thanks to all the judges for their comments. They helped, and the next one will be better (I hope). Of course, it has to be. I'm looking forward, with both anticipation and trepidation, to the next round.

    Which of these games have you been wanting to play?

    And add votes for Champions/Hero (and the other Hero variants as well), and Ars Magica.

    Question about islands, mountains and snow

    Your target temperature is 32. Assuming a baseline temperature of 67, that's 10000 feet above ground level - probably sea level in this case.

    Dragonstar :: what happened?

    T20 is a d20 port of Traveller. It's intended for space opera along the lines of Andre Norton's Forerunner series. Essentially no magic. It also assumes you start at a level higher than 1. IIRC, I think 7 is the minimum. This is the result of the background rules. It also has good rules for...

    Warlock = Magical Girl?

    House Rule in the following: 1) Warlocks get familiars 2) Eldritch Blast must always have at least one invocation. (And then require the player to say the key phrases.)

    Ceramic DM -- Fall '06 ** yangnome wins! **

    Thanks for the compliments. As for the denoument, well, Commune, Scry, and Teleport make short work of puzzles like this. But, yeah, I wasn't wholly satisfied with it; I just didn't see an alternative with the time I had left available (about 2 hours due to prior commitments). Now, of course, I...

    Ceramic DM -- Fall '06 ** yangnome wins! **

    The Case of the Missing Beacon The Case of the Missing Beacon The shores of Celestia are home to thousands of lighthouses. Set among scenes of natural beauty that could bring joy to one of the shades of Hades, surrounded by carefully groomed grounds that even a modron could admire, each...

    How do you go about making your own world?

    Well, I kind of do both top down and bottom up. I find it easier to start top down, as it helps me build some consistency in the world, and think of those great world-shattering secrets. But I only do a light dusting here, something roughly comparable to the original WoG Gazeteer from the...

    I'm not as fast as my opponent, but I'm done now too. I'm going to give it one more night so I can do a final proof tomorrow.

    I like my idea better.

    Sell me on HARP

    Well, I'm an old Rolemaster fan myself. Except for the incredible drag the chart lookups put on combat. So when I heard HARP had simplified that, I was very gungho and went and bought the core rules and the monster book. And a signed up for a HARP game at TerpCon last fall. When I got there...

    Dming with a computer

    Go very slow. Speaking as a professional programmer, I've found that all I can reliably use my computer for is: 1) Using an electronic SRD (either Sovelior's from this site, the one at www.d20srd.org, or CMG's pdfs) 2) Keeping my adventure notes (I use a rather complex HTML setup, but anything...

    [Not-a-Poll]How much do you restrict player chargen choice?

    Whatever makes sense for the world I'm using. In my current campaign (pre-3.x but updated) I basically allow all the core classes, but some classes are restricted geographically/culturally (monks, for instance), and others are racially restricted (druids). I don't allow the alternate base...

    Ceramic DM -- Fall '06 ** yangnome wins! **

    And here I am about to undo all that 7&14 planning... I'm a little nervous about this (especially if I end up in 1a 'because my weekend is already committed) but I'll give it my best shot. Here's seeing if all those "Once Upon a Time" games have been wasted.... In short, I'm in.
