    Can you help me find a name for an empire?

    From the ancient Greek: Nomothetis : The Lawgiver Nomothesia : The law given. May I from these suggest: The Nomothesian Realms, or Nomothian Realms. Good luck.. names are important and fun to come up with.. Moticon

    Magnifying Glass Stand for Miniatures?

    I LOVE my head-band magnifiers I got from: www.fdjtool.com Check under "tools" at the left, and go down a bit to "magnifiers". You can raise and lower them, or just adjust them so you can easily look through them or over them, and one of the best features is that your magnification is...

    Amusing Cursed Items

    Counting elf shoes as 11.. 12) Robe of static discharge. Wearer takes double damage from electricity and must make a reflex save DC 12 (14?) each time he touches metal to avoid 1d2 damage. 13) Headband of the Hip - This multicolored headband causes the wearer to use unconvential language...

    Verboten! What do you NOT allow in your campaigns?

    We play 3.5. I'm sure many people will disagree with this one, but I strongly discourage polymorphing because it is (to me) very complicated to keep track of which abilities (SA, SQ, SU, EX, etc) follow when. I don't like the extreme complications of having to look everything up every time...

    What's the best looking HUGE D&D miniature?

    I like the titan, followed by the cloud giant. Wish I had the behir and don't really want the red dragon I got... (I have a really good metal red dragon I did myself that is much badder...) But they're all pretty good. I was at the FLGS yesterday and had to really steele myself from dropping...

    Player Handout: A Master Feat List?

    I don't play the miniatures game either, but we purchased the book and use spells as well as some of the movement examples, etc. So it was useful to us. Moticon

    What has changed your experience with D&D - the game or you?

    What Changed? I would say that it was the mechanics in 3.0 at first, but then it became more about the style of play I created for my campaigns and players. I got back into the game when my kids were old enough to understand it and play it, and it was right after the 3.0 core books came out...

    Anybody use the adventure in the back of the Eberron setting?

    Your favorite place to buy individual miniatures

    Gamechest in Dallas does have a nice selection -- but that probably won't help you much, but I used to buy mine from the FLGS that closed near my house. Online I purchased some minis directly from reaper miniatures when I couldn't find a specific couple I was looking for. www.reapermini.com...

    Eberron question: Infusion List for Artificers

    We started playing an eberron campaign a couple of weeks ago and I was really taken with the artificer class. I view it as the ultimate flexible support class with some real fun opportunities for role playing, depending on how you do it. The ability to infuse enhancements into weapons and...

    How real is your fantasy?

    I think my campaign is fairly "realistic" in that it mostly takes place in a sparsely populated area with a few key trade routes and communities that are driven by economic, climactic, political, and geographic features. Population is spread out as you'd expect. I don't worry about...

    Building Wide Open adventure settings?

    I'm curious how other DM's build their adventure settings as it regards the flexibility of the PC's to choose their own path. No one likes to be led by the nose, but if you've spent lots of time designing an adventure and it's really the only thing you've got prepared for them, how do you...

    D&D Miniatures - Thumbs up or down?

    I think the poll shouldn't have had "!" after the choices. I'm not crazy about them, but I like them because they fill a niche in my minis for the weekly home games we play. I like the mini's but use them only as a supplement to my existing metal miniatures. What I am looking for when I buy...

    Maps that Make Sense

    It's definitely something that is learned I recently went back and looked at some adventures I'd designed 25 years ago. I was both horrified at what I'd done back then, and pleased that what I do now is better. When I first started It was basically random rooms with little more than "there's...

    Best 1st and 2nd level spell for Weapon Infusion

    What do you think is the best first level spell, and the best second level spell for a 4th level artificer to charge into a weapon for discharge against the first opponent hit with that weapon -- noting that you won't know ahead of time what the opponent is. Select any spell from any class...

    Online -- Eberron Setting -- Playerless game seeking victims..er I mean PC's

    Tried to create Character Hi, I tried to create a character for the Eberron campaign. My desire was to create a warforged Artificer, but the character gen tool didn't support any of that, so I made a dummy Monk and connected it to your game. That character has not been approved yet, and it...

    What do you think of Living Greyhawk

    Myself and my kids have played it and still do occasionally. I was frustrated that many of the mods seemed to be way over powered, perhaps this is in response to power gamers. The second problem, noted here, was the range of DM's. We wanted to have fun and enjoy the challenge, but playing on...

    So, how do people come up with character names, anyway?

    name selection? Two methods for me: Method #1: I like to think of the key characteristic of the PC or whatever is being named, and then I go to my greek/hebrew lexicon and start looking up the words that are greek or hebrew for that word. Example : For a Living Greyhawk barbarian I figured on...

    "I hate math"

    Poilbrun - Thanks for the pointer on the status sheet! That sheet will help my new players out quite a bit. Having a quick sheet to mark seperate bonuses will speed things up, and prevent stacking. Nice pointer! Moticon
