    Detect magic vs invis

    Last night one of the players in the group cast detect magic in the direction of an enemy spellcaster. The DM ruled that detect magic at first level cannot replicate See Invisibility at second level. I would argue that detect magic needs three rounds to get the location of an invisble creature...

    Circling the Wagons

    I am running an encounter where wagons (these are presumably well-made wagons from Keoland) are attacked on a wide road. Ideally, the wagons could be circled. If not, at least one could be brought up parallel to the other to provide cover from both sides. This would be part of the training of a...

    Review of Combat Pad (Initiative Tracker) by Open Mind Games

    better than initiative cards? I agree, I can't see the advantage over initiatve cards. I like the cards so much that I just bought TOGC pdf of initiaive cards for monsters from the SRD.

    Flintstones Technology in D&D

    It is used in the Shackled City Years ago I read a Jack Vance work where human colonists on another planet fought natives who had mastered evolution so as to make macroscopic creatures into weapons. The only thing I recall are hornets that had been evolved into darts (targeted venom delivery)...

    Goodman Games joins the high-priced market...

    NPCs were there to be killed in the whole world The DCC CS looks good and I am in the market for a campaign setting. I just wonder how one can make an entire CS with only "NPCs were there to be killed"? I have only played two DCCs are there outdoor adventures or are they all underground?

    New campaign, Core + ONE acessory

    My Living Greyhawk cleric just got to fifth level, He can now use third level spells. I am thinking (I have never had a cleric this high level before) of packing Ring of Blades and Energy Vortex as my standard damaging spells they are both from the SpC. Thus my PC is quite different than if I...

    Goodman's Dungeon Crawl Classics - Which Are Best?

    Lost Vault ( I am running Lost Vault (3.0 version). I agree with most of your criticisms. I am adding traps (they are kobolds after all). In fact, the party had to flee and it gives me an in-game reason for the Koblolds to make traps against surface invasions. There is an additional...

    Goodman's Dungeon Interludes - Anyone played it?

    I have not used it yet. My PCs (1st level party) got whupped in another dungeon and I need another option for them if they (as likely) go back to town and heal up. The first dungeon interlude will have its hooks in a village two days away. The fun thing about taking that option is then the...

    What did real medieval mines look like?

    Hi, I am new to DMing so I am using pre-made adventures. A couple of them I am interested in have mines, but the mines in the adventure all have rectangular rooms with doors or just look like ordinary D&D cave complexes. I was wondering if anyone knows what mines looked like, so I can change the...
