    Getting it wrong... good ideas gone bad

    OK, so here is one that started this whole idea for me and I am sure that people are going to jump on me and say "NO it was awesome!!!!111!1" but just bear with me. I feel that Starwars ep 1-3 were not good, and anytime I see them they seem to get worse. But I want to love them I am a big fan...

    Getting it wrong... good ideas gone bad

    Great ideas that were poorly done ... and how it should have been! Often times I'll catch a trailer, read the back cover of a book or see an add for an upcoming TV show and think to myself "Wow. That looks pretty cool. I want to see, read, watch that." But then after having invested the time...

    Probably you have used up your allowed mb for storage. I use photobucket to host my pics and then I use an html link so that they can be viewed on the forums here.

    DnD/D20 Necessary Wizard Spells?

    Too true and I usually have those things when I do play. Still I like the challenge and fun of twisting and tweaking a system. Luckily thanks to the perpetuity of the OGL I can twist and tweak to my hearts content. The little system I envision is also pretty much "levelless" and will be...

    DnD/D20 Necessary Wizard Spells?

    Here is a generic Thanks! for the replies now on to the meat and potatoes. @ Dandu and Nifft I guess I should have worded the question or just stuck with Iconic instead of "must have" though both sleep and colour spray are on my list. @Particle Man and Hobogod This is more what I was looking...

    DnD/D20 Necessary Wizard Spells?

    Good day all! I have a question/request for you. If you had to had to pare down the wizards spell list (3.x) what would you consider to be the sort of iconic must have spells that make a wizard a wizard? At least in a dnd sense. I already have Magic missile Mage Armor Shield Sleep Charm person...

    Knightfall's World of Kulan Art Challenge Thread!

    Thanks! In all honesty the baklath are a very simple design of goblin + batwings. I would be very surprised to see something that didn't come out looking close to these guys.

    James Ng's Art - Imperial Steamworks

    I really want a setting book for this. Such a crazy awesome concept with wonderful art. Though I agree with Nytmare that the harvester is a big stylistic departure from the others.

    Tips On Being Evil

    The difference between "good" and "evil" isn't subjective at least not in regards to DnD. Its what you ARE, an intangible aspect of being. You can't say oh good doesn't lie, kill or steal because there are always going to be examples that overcome the basic assumptions. Here are some examples of...

    What Do The languages Sound Like?

    Not often will I go to the trouble of "making up" language on the spot typically when I DM and the characters can't understand a language it goes like this... DM: do any of you speak drwavish? PCs: No.... DM: ok the angry looking dwarf points at you and shouts something in his gutteral tongue.

    DnD: What is it to you?

    "Interesting choice of D&D attributes since some of them are not in 4E:" @Marcq I know. I am kind of split the 4e it made a lot of the changes I had been hoping for while I was playing 3e. Yet it doesn't always retain the "feeling" I associate with dnd. I know that is a very vague way of...

    DnD: What is it to you?

    It was supposed to be about dnd specifically. I kinda realized after the fact though that it might end being a more open ended topic. For me there is a lot of stuff that I don't particularly enjoy about dnd but it seems that I still end up playing it anyway. It just got me thinking about what...

    DnD: What is it to you?

    Good call! I know that I've had a few times where a character kind of "gets away" from me.

    DnD: What is it to you?

    Much like the title states I am curious what people feel it is that makes DnD well DnD. This is meant to be an inclusive discussion on what might be the strong aspects of the game are. For me I think its things like spells per day and getting to use nearly every dice I own. Having to nurse a...

    D&D 3.x 3.5E - Using spell slots to substitute for material/XP components

    Eh it probably won't work too well for the reasons celebrim stated. When I read the title I was picturing more losing a spell slot permanently. You know sacrificing some of your magical essence to power an artifact of power. Because that sounds pretty cool. Though I wouldn't ask people to spend...

    d20 simplified skills

    I am making a d20 based game system for running one shot adventures and dungeon crawls. To this end I created a stripped down skill set that is hopefully robust enough to cover most situations. It works pretty much as normal 3.x skills so I won't post the "how to use" section. So far I am...

    An alternate ranger class ???

    This is what I came up with instead of favored enemy in addition to a favored terrain bonus. Quarry (Ex): Being expert trackers Rangers are adept at finding a particular adversary and dealing with them. To begin with a ranger must first designate their quarry. This can be done in one of two...

    Minimizing Prep Time - Forked from "DMing: from fun to work "

    I can see where Celebrim is coming from on the whole winging it thing. I winged a one off last weekend and pretty much most of what was posted went down. On the plus side the players had fun but I wouldn't want to have to do that every week. It would were out pretty quick. As for something that...
