Some other fruity acronyms the inventors of "P.E.A.C.H." had initially considered: P.e.a.r. = Please Examine And Reply P.l.u.m. = Provide Lavishly Useless Messages K.i.w.i. = Keep Interesting Webpages Incoherent B.a.n.a.n.a. = Before Answering Note Any Nonsensical Acronyms P.r.u.n.e. =...

This link leads to some of the coolest Seance pictures ever. "The Incident" http://www.netsummary.dk/incident/ I've posted the most impressive pics. There are five or six other pictures if you follow the link. (And before anyone really freaks out - THEY'RE FAKE. The creator made...

NearBlinded and NearDeafened? or shorter words: NearBlind and NearDeaf?

This thread contains a link to the reference sheets in Microsoft Word format. http://www.enworld.org/showthread.php?t=85471 Useful if someone with a good grasp of 3.5 Psionics wants to fix the 3.0 psionics shown on the magic reference sheet and then re-PDF it. ;)

I think there's confusion about terrain elements because the SRD just gives the "crunchy" terrain element tables with no instructions. The tables look like something that's supposed to be rolled on, but they're not. In the actual DM guide the section about terrain types gives several pages of...

I think those percentages are just guidelines to be used when making maps and describe in general the distribution of forest growth. They're not meant to be rolled individually for each square entered.

Restaurant Supply houses carry plastic menu holders that come in various sizes and can be used to make good DM screens.

Yeah, I hate that. Lately I've been trying to fight back against these shipping charge scams. Excessive shipping is actually against Ebay rules, and can be reported. Since Ebay auction fees are based on the selling price of the item, some sellers try to sell an item at a really low price, and...

<DM Turbo-Rant Mode On> You know, DMs wouldn't even need to run DMPCs if there weren't so many gamers out there who want to PLAY the game, but never want to do the WORK of running a game of their own. Did it ever occur to any of you DMPC haters out there that maybe after spending hours and...

I'm trying hard to understand this. So we're saying that if there's a real gargoyle standing next to a STATUE of a gargoyle, I can tell them apart by aiming a Magic Missile at them. It will fire normally at the real gargoyle, but the spell will fizzle and not discharge when aimed at the...

Poker chips stack nicely under a mini, and the different colors (usually red, blue and white) can represent different altitudes.

If I remember correctly, the letter that came in the front of the Leather Player's handbook said something like "we've included the most recent errata and cleaned up a few other things." I assume the Special Edition DM Guide, and Monster manual got the same treatment. So the special addition...

This might not be exactly what you're looking for, but Wizards of the Coast is currently beta testing their "official" online random dungeon mapper. http://www.wizards.com/dnd/mapper/launcher.htm

Yeah, these figures can still be found in Dinosaur playsets packaged under the brand name "Ancient Rulers." I read a post somewhere that suggested looking in the toy aisle at Walgreen/Rite Aid/Savon type drug stores.

EDJ - I got your email as well. These programs look like they will be really useful for designing a campaign world. For a couple of years now there have been threads here and on the Wizards board from people looking for these programs. I think everyone had just about given them up as lost...

The difference is trying to "Take 20" with a series of opposed rolls and then somehow saving and transfering the best results to a single opposed roll later in the day. Personally I don't allow Take 20 to be used with Hide. I'll point out that the Modern SRD specifically says that a character...

If the Rogue wanted to choose a hiding spot, roll his ONE hide check, and then hang out all day in that spot waiting for the Hobgoblin to come along and make ONE spot check, there's no inconsistency. The inconsistency comes from trying to use "Take 20" with an ally to get twenty "practice" hide...

I agree with the way Artoomis has handled it above. The Rogue makes one Hide check (with movement modifiers) as he creeps up on the Goblins and settles down behind the bush. Each of the the three Goblins has it's own individual chance to Spot the Rogue, so three Spot checks are made opposing...

An ambush would give circumstance bonuses to the Hide check. Maybe a LOT of bonuses depending upon the preparation. But Hide vs. Spot is still an opposed roll, made at the time that someone has a chance to Spot the hider. And failure means being seen.
