    A group of 15-year-olds want to start a game

    I ditto the getting to know the parents. Young people do not have control over their lives, thier parents do. You need to be comfortable calling up the parent and saying "can X play D&D this week" the parents will then let you know if something comes up that makes is not work. The other thing...

    silent mugging

    The ambush feats don't really do it. The only silence you get is in exchange for 5d6 sneak attack. I don't think it is a very high level thing to silently mug someone if you have surprise. I am talking about during a surprise round stepping 5' out of hiding to grapple or charging to grapple. You...

    silent mugging

    I notice that there is no way to silence an opponent during a grapple unless you pin them. Since you cannot pin until the second round of a grapple, there is no way to mug a straggler in a party without them shouting out. To make this a possibility, I was thinking of modifying the grapple rules...

    OotS 503!

    On my first look at the comic, I had been hoping that the ninja was gay. We laugh at home about how bad my search checks are.

    3.5e Planescape - Cold Black Mask OOC Thread

    This sounds like there are some rules for summing and druids that are not from the PHB. Before I dig up a Manual of the Planes and the Planar Handbook is there a place I should look for these rules?

    3.5e Planescape - Cold Black Mask OOC Thread

    Wow things fill up fast. I have never done any Planescape (Planescape: torment is over $40 at amazon..com) I hope that I would not be too noob to play in this campaign. I am playing a Lucilus, a Druid Summoner in Living Greyhawk. Lucilus is a Dreadwalker which means that he is part of a group...

    Interest in Delaware/MidAtlantic Gameday?

    Poll created I created a poll in Doodle to vote for weekend days until the end of the year: DE/MidAtlantic Gameday Poll lets see when people can actually make it. It seems like Glyfair can make a location happen; so Glyfair please vote.

    Preface to Tearing of the Weave?

    I am going to do a D&D campaign for some teenage new players (and more experienced pre-teen players). I decided that I am going to do the Tearing of the Weave series because I want to introduce FR (since it will be the new Living RPGA setting). I need a mod before Tearing to start them out. I...

    Dungeons & Dragons d20 books on Amazon

    Sweet, I just got: # Races of the Wild # Races of Destiny # Lords of Madness: # Races of Eberron for $16.04 total with shipping! Too bad I just received Eberron Players Guide which is now $0.01. Thanks Smoky Mountain Books - they have been the place that I have gotten most of my online D&D...

    Interest in Delaware/MidAtlantic Gameday?

    I play at the Compleat Strategist several times a year. Are you thinking of a gameday in Newark then? That is doable from Philly.

    Fantasy world maps and real world geology

    I checked don't know much (BS in physics but failed intro to Geology 30 years ago). I would like a campaign world where magic is lawful and science (defined as a process not a set of findings ) is in charge of everything else. I wanted to run DCC#1 for my group but then I decided the map was too...

    [May] What are you reading?

    I am reading The Lion of Ireland by Morgan Llywelyn about Brian Boru. The Wikipedia entry really disagrees with her version. Al that is Solid Melts into Air: the Experience of Modernity just finished Riverwind the Plainsman just started Flint the King - I guess I am going to get into reading...

    REMINDER: Robin Hood on BBC America Saturday 03.03

    I just saw episodes 1 and 2. I think they are fun. I like that Robin acts out of true compassion and not just a desire to get his lands back and beat the Sheriff. The silly stunts are over the top but just add fun IMO. I also like the relationship between Robin and Marion (clearly childhood...

    Spiders in Drow of the Underdark

    Also Ungoliant, the ancestor of Shelob, is described as "spider-like" in the Silmarillion. Ungoilian also sucked light, unlike most spiders. OTOH when the art director on a book about a race that worships spiders clearly does not care that spiders are correct, it seems like an attitude problem...

    Green Ronin to produce a new Song of Ice and Fire RPG

    aGoT PBEM I noticed that three people, like me, have this game and have never played it. What if we did PBEM, I have never done that and don't really want to DM. But I would like to play this game. If you are interested maybe (and have maybe have DMed PBEM) we could move this to the gamers...
