Suppose I want to alter the system of magic. Let's say I'm going to leave divine magic as is, but arcane magic is completely removed, replaced with elemental magic based on three elements which have a paper-rock-scissors relationship (air sprays water; water erodes earth; earth resists air)...

Thanks for the advice everyone. You convinced me to go ahead and let the players know ahead of time, and they're up for it. :)

That's rather insightful. I sort of had the same concern, but I wasn't really able to articulate it so well. Thanks. :) Sorry, I don't listen to rap. Seriously, though, is that what WotBS is about? I don't follow published adventures at all.

I kind of want to run a campaign where the players are in a city state that gets invaded, and the PCs become the cornerstone of the resistance. My plan is to start it where the coming war is heavily implied, but it's still in the background and for the first few sessions the PCs just do their...

Yes. In 3.5. I think we were in the late teens at the time, 17-19 or so. We drowned it by forcing a water elemental to take residence in its lungs, I (the monk) beat on it while it was down to counteract its regeneration, and the rest of the party used some ritual to kill it once and for all.

He was remarking on the double entendre in the snippet he quoted.

You misunderstand me (I suppose I wasn't terribly clear). I think the mortality rate of the die seemed high. I agree with you, most people are terrible at judging Jenga. I don't think I'm especially good at it, but I've played a normal game of Jenga with a friend before and we actually got to...

As has been noted, you lose a lot by not having the actual, physical tower there. That said, your 1% idea does lead to an interesting curve. You've got a 95% chance of surviving 5 rolls, a 59% chance of surviving 10 rolls, 28% chance of surviving 15 rolls, and a 10% chance of surviving 20...

Definitely a neat idea to do "tentacles," as I think it's something that's handy and under-represented. But for the love of all that's holy... Ditch the Papyrus, and find a new font. It's the Comic Sans of "serious" typography.

I wrote an article on building a campaign site with MPTW a while back. I find it's great for world building, because as you fill in things, you create links to new (not yet created) pages, which spurs you to go and fill in those pages... etc.

I did say it was something (if it ain't nothing, it must be something). Also, death to the d10 apologists!

Also, I question the veracity of that quote... The d20 predates that bastardization of a polyhedron known as a d10, because the d20 is a platonic solid, and the d10 ain't nothing. A d20 used to come 0-9 twice, and you'd color half of them with an included crayon. If you were rolling a d10, you...

The only awards I'm even aware of are the Ennies, which vex me because I follow a lot of people in a particular niche of the community who all got nominated and so I got to see post after post asking for votes. I don't begrudge people for being excited for awards, particularly those who were...

That's a handsome set. Reminds me of the Cage Dice Set

I know, right? The name keeps getting stuck in my head. I'm thinking maybe a rapier with a poisonous enchantment, the name being a corrupted form of 'Ill Rose.' Too on the nose?

Good catch, I hadn't even noticed that. So if you flip it upside down, it still says Bogin's Illroez. Neat! :D

Trying to interpret that logo as letters, this is what I see: Bogin's Illroez

That may not be the worst logo ever, but I'm having trouble coming up with a counterexample. If not for the URL underneath it, I'd have no freaking clue what the thing was called. Did someone actually think that was legible?

Four words every DM should know, regardless of game or genre: "A wizard did it." If that doesn't work, use the other four: "Rocks fall, everyone dies."
