    How to introduce a BBEG?

    The party finishes off the first evil plan and assorted minions, discovering no clues as to the identity, significance, or even existence of another related BBEG. As the party are going through a seemingly-typical town adventure followup, I would have the baron of uberdark just plain show up in...

    E-Bay rant

    I will be, believe me. I just wish it was MORE significant a fallout than that. He has the nerve to say "In case something happens to the first one you have a backup." Nertz.

    E-Bay rant

    I just needed a space to rant about this loser of an EBay transaction that finally concluded today. Back on Valentines day, Feb 14, I bought a Midnight Syndicate CD soundtrack to D&D. You may have heard of it. Two weeks later I get an email from the seller, apologizing for a delay, and saying...

    fire sale on Dungeon Crawl Classic adventures

    The site isn't dead, but it looks like the sale was either a joke played by a hacker or it was only a very temporary thing. The DCC prices are now back up to normal already. DAMN!!!

    fire sale on Dungeon Crawl Classic adventures

    Hmm, I looked at it briefly this afternoon and made my mind up to look into it in more detail later tonight. Now the whole site seems dead: Miva Merchant has encountered a fatal error and is unable to continue. The following information may assist you in determining the cause of the error...

    How often do you use traps?

    I put 80%, because whenever I have a party running into a dungeon, I will "usuallY" put some traps here or there. It definitely won't work out to 80% of the sessions has a trap encounter, but I would say 80% of my dungeons will have a feature or 2.

    alternative "minis" for DnD

    1. Ocho Games Monster Tiles, if you're so inclined. http://www.ochogames.com/store/index.aspx 2. Paper figures! I forget if there was a site that specialized in that, but geez, it serves just fine for the sake of indicating one bad guy from another, and I once made a whole pack of orc...

    two vampire-killing questions

    Oh, DAMN, that is a good idea. I gotta remember that. Also, what if the fake lookalike was lying on top of grave earth covering a false bottom? The vamp might gas-form into the coffin, and zip past the fake body, into a second stone-encased "burial chamber" below the "apparent" coffin. That...

    New Knowledge Arcana from Wizards site?

    So how does one actually get to the new Knowledge Arcana issue 9? Whenever I try to click the "download here" link on the Wizards site, it throws me onto my Gleemax page. Is the link broken, or am I supposed to intuit from Gleemax where the KA article is? Is it just me, or is it near...

    two vampire-killing questions

    When I ran a vampiric adventure last year, I decided that each of the vampires had a number of "home" coffins. The party came upon a central chamber with several coffins laid out in ceremonious decor (which they promptly and predictably destroyed), but each of the vampires had their own...

    Creating in-game "atmosphere"

    This is the key to creating your creepy (and memorable) atmosphere. Monsters don't matter. PRESENTATION matters. In your descriptions, use ALL the senses. What does it smell like? What do you hear when walking through the swamp? Make lots of use of rolling clouds of mist, which obscures...

    Neep Help: Determining what the NPCs do when the PCS aren't around..

    My first reaction is to think, wow, NINE other searching parties is a lot to keep track of, but this is no criticism. Regardless of the amount of other expert parties you have out in the field on this scavenger hunt, start with a 3x5 or 5x8 card for each party, to keep notes on what they've...

    some misc. questions

    a) a wise DM prevents that series of wishes. And I'm not joking either. b) as player, you don't roll % to determine the nobility of the Djinn. The DM does; it isn't even a case of "winning". For your other question, if there is a 10% chance of a thing and you roll a 15, the listed thing does...

    Bull Rush dominoes?

    Ending Your Movement: You can't end your movement in the same square as another creature unless it is helpless. Therefore in the absence of Domino rules, the bullrushed defender can not be pushed into a square occupied by any other (non-helpless) creature. Thus the BR would fail.
