    Silence spell vs. a closed door

    This was the situation: The cleric wanted to cast a silence spell at the foot of 2 guards standing in front of a door leading into a building. Right behind the door are 2 other guards sitting on some chairs. The guards inside the house are within the 20' radius but behind a door. Are they...

    How far do you travel to game?

    Usually we game at my place which is convenient, but my players live also in Tel-Aviv and its not really a big city ;)

    Free PDF's for the Gencon Deprived

    Let's start by the fact that I'm in Israel. Yes yes, its that small country in the middle of the middle-east, surrounded by ay-not-so-friendly countries and totally on the wrong side of the ocean than gen-con. As if geography wasn't enough there's the whole political hoo-ha going on here now...

    Eberron - things to watch out for?

    I'm currently playing an Eberron campaign and enjoying it very much! However I must give you my personal warning about the trilogy of adventures published by WOTC for Eberron (shadows of the last war, whispers of the vampire's blade and the 3rd one whose name I don't remember). They are (in my...

    Roleplaying in S.E Asia

    Two things on my mind... Just returned from a 4 month trip in south east Asia (Laos, Vietnam, Cambodia and Thailand) and first of all I wanted to thank ENWorld and the excellent forums for supplying me with lots of interesting stuff to read during that time when I was far away from my regular...

    Changing back from polymorphed shape

    In our last session one of the characters was polymorphed as a bat and then wanted to change back as a free action and attack the BBEG in the same turn... which leads me to ask because I couldn't find the answer: Casting polymorph is one standard action. How long does it take to change back to...

    Dragon Mountain?

    I ran it for my players back in the days of 2nd edition. From what I remember it was really fun and kept us occupied for months of real time. I really liked the relations between the various kobold tribes, and the characters had really hard time, fighting some kobolds, trading with others...

    If I have to eat one more sweetmeat I'll scream!

    I've just been reading Shemeska's excellent Planescape story hour, and reached a part where the heroes get to rest for a bit (06-09-04) and eat. I had a feeling it was going to happen and then... it did. The familiar of one of the characters started eating a plate of sweetmeats. What is...

    What would you have done?

    I'm thinking of getting rid of alignment all together. I've been playing for a long time now and I think its the biggest failing of d&d. Alignments are too restrictive and game-mechanic for my taste. A player chooses a good alignment, enjoys all the benefits, but can then perform evil acts like...

    Running mazes in adventures

    I agree with you that it sounds tedious and I like the idea of intelligence checks. Some role-playing on the player's side can give them bonuses to the check (using string and other maze methods). Plan some encounters within the maze, and every couple of checks to see if the pc's get hopelessly...

    What RPG books/manuals do you really regret buying?

    Oathbound. Looked promising but I didn't connect to it and the artwork annoys me to no end... it just sits there on the shelf, glaring at me.

    Ratio of Spending to Gaming

    Spending: ~400$ Game Sessions: ~18 So I've spent ~22$ per session... too much I guess :)

    How do you get your players to know the rules?

    We have a google group and after each session I send an email with highlights from the session. For example if we had a fight which involved grappling, I'd check the SRD if we handled it correctly and explained it in the group, copied from the SRD... Eventually everyone sort of learned about...

    Scarred Lands big sale.. whats up?

    I bought some discounted stuff from Whitewolf around Christmas, ordering them to a friend of mine who lives in NY and was coming to Israel. This discussion really made me itch to buy some more SL stuff. However you won't believe the shipping charges for international addresses! I have 6 books...

    My website also appears in my quote... basically we put there the general campaign info, mostly info on the setting. A listing of the house rules, usually updated character sheets, and most importantly the Wiki campaign log :) We also usually open a yahoo/google group for each campaign and keep...
