Hello Thebalrog, Can you handle the 1 MB doc? CAN YOU? :) If so, post here and I will send it to the email address in your profile. Cheers, -War Golem

It does, but I know not to take it personally. I would prefer to have a group of players who were more involved in the campaign and their characters, but that's always a double-edged sword because that's asking for more work than I already put in (which is not insignificant). I know they are all...

I don't think my players do squat between sessions that is related to gaming. One of them is DM in our group's other campaign, so she prepares for that, but everyone else who just plays... let's just say that even when they get enough XP to level up, they usually end up holding up the game at...

Not sure; I hadn't really made up my mind yet. I don't tend to place too much emphasis on alignment in my campaign, other than with fairly broad brushstrokes. Exceptions being creatures that are Always a specific alignment. The main point in this case is that this archmage is no longer a...

Thanks for all the responses so far! Yes, I knew that, thanks. I picked the City of Brass specifically because it was not actually in the lower planes, while being a place where lower planar types are easy to find and negotiate with. I know the Plane of Fire itself is quite hot and...

Hi Gospog, The archmage was Lawful Evil, but has just recently been freed from a 600 year long Imprisonment. He is exhibiting a slightly different outlook on life these days, and is probably closer to Neutral now. -War Golem

I need to run a one-shot side trek for one of my players this weekend, during which he will be accompanying a cantankerous dwarven archmage (abjurer specialist) on a little trip to the City of Brass. The player is an 11th level skaven wizard, not overly experienced with planar travel, but...

Hi rounser, If you have the long-term campaign plot and major NPCs mapped out from the beginning, it's pretty easy to engineer the proper foreshadowing into the game, and to have them either meet or become aware of the major players along the way. For a more free-form campaign, I think the...

I think this is entirely dependent on the campaign and the DM. I don't recall the original poster ever stating what level his PC was, nor what he had done (or not done) to acquire the Ring of Wishes. Such an item hardly seems "Monty Haul" to me if the campaign is high-level. Nor even if the...

Hi AGGEMAM, It will never happen, but if it did, I'd be right there with you. Cheers, War Golem

Hi Oracular Vision, I am curious to know why you write this. Why is the DM dumb for giving a player access to a Wish? I am not aware of anything inherently evil, wrong, or game-breaking about a Wish spell. In your opinion, what exactly would a PC have to do to "earn" a Wish? Cheers, -War Golem

As others have stated, the INT increases shouldn't be an issue if that is the route you choose. For the spell-like abilities, I would look to make use of the Spell Mastery feat. As a DM, I could certainly see a player using a Wish to bump up a "Mastered Spell" to a spell-like ability usable...

B.A. Biology M.A. Marine Biology & Fisheries but that was all from another lifetime, long ago....

Gotcha. Well, hopefully someone will figure it out. Thanks for all your time and effort with this stuff, Morrus. -War Golem

Any chance we could get a Total Record Count on that page, so we can quickly see how close we are to the estimated 300 needed to save the Boards? Although I suppose that number may be revised in light of the results of yesterday's Mortality.net test. Cheers, -War Golem

Hi kenjib, I quite agree with your thinking here. The boardgame you describe reminds me a bit of Talisman, a game I played often back in the mid-80s but haven't seen in a store for years so I'm not even sure it exists any more. But a lot of your other game criteria sound very similar to what...

I'd have to agree that college textbooks are not the best apples-to-apples comparison for RPG materials, for exactly the reason given - for the most part, I didn't have much choice in buying those books. They were required to pass the class, so I bought them. My experience with this was over 10...

Bastion Press' Monster book is an excellent example of how, for me, color art can make up for low quality art in many instances. I think the art in the BP Monster book is very hit or miss, and I don't love the style of the main artist - if it had been b/w, I don't think I even would have...

I'm an RPG consumer that would gladly pay an extra $10 bucks for a hardback with color illustrations over one only b/w. But I think I'm in the minority on this issue. :(

Hi Necromancer folks, Can you tell us what percentage of the monsters will have accompanying artwork? Am I hoping for too much that the interior monster illustrations will be in color??? Thanks. Really looking forward to the book. -War Golem
