    Need someone to check my dice probability results

    Here's my shot at this (hope I'm right and dont embaress myself) Chances of success in case A: (n+4)/20 Changes of success in case B: n/20+(20-n)/20*n/20 which means that you either succeed on your first roll or fail and roll a second time so if we develop this a bit we get... n/10-(n/20)^2...

    Dragon 326

    As long as we're complaining on shipping times :) At least people in most civilized countries can find Dragon/Dungeon in their FLGS. In Israel my FLGS (which is the only one I know of in Israel) doesn't bring Dragon/Dungeon, they claim that they'd have to sell it at such a price (about 15$ per...

    Summon Monster Spell

    I think the rules are that if duration is 1 round / lvl, the starting round also counts. So if your first level mage casts it the monster appears, attacks and disappears before your next turn. i.e. it gets 1 round / caster-level to act.

    My first campaign

    I like encounters vs. other humanoids, and my pc's seem to appreciate it. When you pit them against a party of adventurers, a group of bandits, the local militia... the options are endless and each group is totally different, in the composition of its members (races, classes,...), its goals, its...

    Dungeon Masters Guide II????

    Maybe the contents of the book could be good, some of it sounds interesting to me. But titling it the Dungeon Master's Guide II is such an obvious marketing ploy. It'll "seem" as if its a necessary core book which you can't do without. I bet if they would have called it something like "Dungeon...

    recommend some pdf's!!

    I recommend Dweomercraft: Familiars, which is a book about familiars of all types and styles for spellcasters Expeditious Retreat - A Magical Medieval Society, both volumes 'Western Europe' and 'Ecology and Culture' are very interesting and contain lots of information (no prestige classes...

    Midnight, Still Playing?

    My group played a Midnight campaign for about 8 months with me and another member alternating as DM's. It wasn't the bleakness of the setting that turned us off it, but problems with the crunch. Most of the players thought the setting really limited player options, since there are less classes...

    What are the least-used skills in D&D?

    I never got to use Knowledge skills until we started an Eberron campaign recently, I now play a Kalashtar psion academic who has knowledge in most areas, and the DM actually lets me use it :) Combined with the Research feat its really come in handy

    My fluid gaming group... how is yours?

    I've returned to D&D (making the move from 2nd to 3rd edition) about 2 years ago, I've assembled with a friend about 7 people eager to play. Since then only 3 of the original group remain, and we've had about 8 people come and go (nowadays we're 5). I find it a bit hard maintaining long...

    Reviewer accuses WotC of Espionage! <Put Dramatic Chord Here>

    So now we're having a conspiracy theory about conspiracy theories? I think the reviewer's point was that its interesting how several books of the same theme get released in a short time period. I don't think he came out as accusing WOTC of anything. Its the same in movies, in the same year you...

    RPGs Published in Non-English Languages?

    A few books got translated to hebrew, specifically the core books (see example here PHB In Hebrew ). Other than that, not really :)

    CR Paradox

    This might be an old old topic or I might be totally wrong :\ , but here it goes... The DMG says an NPC gets CR equal to his level. But if a group of four 9th level characters face their evil clones, they should be way too much for them to handle (CR9 x 4). The clones are also facing an...

    1st - 20th level published campaigns?

    Not really an answer to your question but I just wanted to ask why? Adventures and campaigns are such dynamic things that I think it'll be hard to stick to a preset plot. If you dont change and go with where your players are aiming, the campaign can really go down :-\ Anyway, good luck...

    Campaign Settings II

    Spelljammer always gets the short end of the stick at these polls. I don't think enough people played it during the 90's. I'm sure that if you give me five players who've never played Spelljammer and let me run a 3 session adventure for them, they'll become fanatical devouts of it who willl...

    Players Bored Because of their own Playing Habits

    I've been dm'ing with a bunch of people for over a year now, and my playing history with some of them goes back over 12 years. I've learned that most players become quite predictable with time. They do things a certain way (always hack n' slash, always diplomacy, roleplay a certain character...

    Need help with Eberron opening to a module...

    My group started Midnight(FFG) about 6 months ago, and all the players are lazy gits who didnt bother reading what I sent them :) , So the way me and the alternate DM of our group did it was as follows: At the beggining of each session for the first month we would start with some introduction...
