I am not thrilled about the image of a mage casting spells in armor. Just doesn't jibe right. If it's kept as an option that's possible with the right feats, that's better - at least now most will not use armor. I do prefer mages cast mage armor on themselves at will. Protecting themselves...

I've looked into things a bit as I'm setting a virtual game up too, my first one, and I just wanted to add that I've found that since my system has little memory running applications like Battlegrounds and MapTools was prolematic. OpenRPG run easier. I've got no experience with how it runs in...

A few more details - I expect the adventures to mostly consist of exploration/investigation and talking/negotiation, and to include some combat (probably the climax). We will begin with a very slow pacing, perhaps as slow as two adventures in the first season, but will settle into two...

I'm not sure I like this whole "I hit, and an ally gets X". :uhoh: Seems very strange, especially the "I miss, and an ally gets X". :confused: Yes, I suppose it could be prayers, but why does a prayer needs to be accompanied by a strike? And it doesn't seem to require even a verbal...

I've a friend who has come to posess a stockpile of old D&D books. Like a 1e Forgotten Realms boxed set in mint condition - that sort of thing. He wants to sell them, but doesn't know how to price them. Can anyone help him out? Is there a site with suggested prices or something like that?

I actually like the first idea. As an explanantion of dragon's breeding it is quite nice. Although I like the second one too - it feels very right, somehow, like linking dragons and the magic of the land. Reminds me of Eberrron. I'm currently, based on the "points-of-light" idea, thinking of...

Update: I'm widening the time-frame in hope of catching more players - we'll set the time jointly once we have enough players, anytime from thursday evening to saturday evening (from my POV, GMT+02:00). I am starting a virtual tabletop game of Ars Magica, and am looking for two or three more...

A) Stephen Radney-MacFarland writes well. He's very amusing. B) It seems the doomspore only affects bloodied characters, which I presume means roughly wounded characters; that seems mightily strange. C) What does "a target hit by a doomspore is weakened and takes ongoing poison 5" mean?! Is...

Some very nice offerings. I'm downloading nearly everything; it's free :)

How much for an item shedding permanent silence, with shutters so it can be turned on or off? Would you even allow such an item, and at what price? This is for character-generation purposes, but I allow characters to buy things at the listed prices pretty much freely in my campaign. The...

Errg, didn't see where to write my user-name. Poor reading skills :o Receipt ID: 9N184303W8034883K is my order (1 CS account). Sorry. :o

If Midnight and Iron Heroes were OGL, I'd have written a low-magic conversion of Midnight and started a campaign in it already. As it is, I've tarried and am now waiting for 4e... [And no, IH is NOT OGL, as far as I am concerned, too much stuff missing]

Midnight 2e came in a better binding. Or at least, it couldn't come in worse...

On FR, all dead souls go to the Fugue Plane to be judged. I've had them "weighted" there. Those that fit the mold rather well were "purified" (in a sort of purgatory) for a while, then sent to their designated place. Those who didn't fit any particular mold very well were eternally interned...

No problem. It certainly can't turn activity on it down...

How will 4e affect the IH? I've been waiting patiently for the IH (Ascension, not epic monsters or whatnot) for years now. I'm in no hurry. But the IH material seems heavily dependent on the CR system and epic rules that seem on the brink of changing. So I have to wonder if the IH won't come...

I just realized I didn't thank you for this informative post :heh: So a belated THANKS :)

I have high hopes for the 4e MM. :) Oh, shiny. Definitely a cool point.

I just wanted to say I finally given the Formian entry a good reading, and I like them. The queen's ability to "communicate telepathically with any intelligent creature within 50 miles whose presence she is aware of" can be used to great effect even at low levels. The hive-mind qualities of the...

I can only concur. The great wheel definitely seems to me to personify objective morality, the question remaining is whether the cosmos it subsumes is ultimately just, unjust, or neither. I'm much more inclined to agree with Arkhandus and Tarek that it is just - peope get what they deserve, at...
