    What would you like to see dropped from Dungeon?

    I'm curious as to why you would take such a hard-line stance? I don't care for Downer, but it's not a big deal to me. I just skip those two pages. In any case, I really enjoy Dungeon and I look forward to getting each issue. Next to Enworld, it's probably the best resource out there. Keep...

    (Adventure) Heroes of The Vesper Peaks (Uriel judging)

    {OOC: I'd like to know what the delay is too. I don't want to stop checking if something is going to happen, but I'd like to have some idea when updates will be happening. If there won't be any further updates, please let me know. }

    (Adventure) Heroes of The Vesper Peaks (Uriel judging)

    Jared asks, Is the gauze around our faces any protection or are we just fooling ourselves? In any case, I'll come with you and I'll trust the fire of Chennet' to burn away the dust. How can I help?

    EL Calculation?

    I have it written up in an Excel Spreadsheet. You can email me at joel [at] jjtone.com and I'll send you a copy. Also note that according to my calculations: Appropriate (Party EL - 4) approximately 15 of these = 1 level Difficult (Party EL - 2) approximately 8 of these = 1 level Deadly...

    EL Calculation?

    If you mean EL, here's one solution that has worked well for me. http://jjtone.com/wp/archives/2004/08/16/encounter-level-challenge-rating-party-strength/ I put the formula in an Excel/Openoffice spreadsheet and let the computer do the work. The formula is p = CR {if CR < =2} or 2^(CR/2) {if...

    (Adventure) Heroes of The Vesper Peaks (Uriel judging)

    Who is this Blade of Arcton that you're hunting? Do they know you're here? What are they trying to do with these zombies and other undead? Jaret blurts questions in quick succession. This is the weirdest thing he's ever seen.

    (Adventure) Heroes of The Vesper Peaks (Uriel judging)

    Jaret whispers, An Initiate of Seto? Those people are nuts. They live to kill the local theives' guild, the Curved Blades of Arcton. When they're not killing Blades, they're assassinating each other. There's a saying, "When an initiate of Seto is tired of looking for broken glass in his...

    [BDV] Blue Devil Games Releases Akashic Nodes

    I plan to buy this and read through it. From the preview it looks very interesting. I'll say more once I've read it.

    World's Largest Dungeon in actual play [Spoilers!]

    The descriptive text in J72 seems to imply that there are two tunnels. The map only shows one (via Region N). Where is the second tunnel?

    (Adventure) Heroes of The Vesper Peaks (Uriel judging)

    Just a minute Marl Jaret calls out. Grog isn't doing so well. Jaret speaks to Grog in hushed tones. Grog, I need you to focus. There's nothing I can do to help you get better. You can take your chances and hope that this disease doesn't kill you. Otherwise, I could amputate your arm to...

    Better Windows calculators?

    I've found GraphCalc to be very useful. It's free, which is definitely the right price. I don't use most of its features, but it certainly beats the windows calculator. It seems to be roughly the equivalent of a TI-85, if that tells you anything.

    World's Largest Dungeon in actual play [Spoilers!]

    What would Pelvo like? For a good index, I'd happily pay $5-10 through Paypal or some such. If he wants recognition, I'd be more than willing to post links to his site, or help host the file, or just say thanks.

    World's Largest Dungeon in actual play [Spoilers!]

    Another Region J Question - J72 The descriptive text for J72 seems to imply 2 passages into Tyrus' cell. However, the map only shows 1 (via region N). Where is the tunnel described in the text? I'm thinking of running it from the lava, though other possibilities would be J71, J25, and north...

    World's Largest Dungeon in actual play [Spoilers!]

    Region J Question I dropped my group straight into Region J (they weren't interested in a protracted dungeon crawl, so I'll be using the WLD piecemeal). A fair number of the encounters in the Third Ring take place with Extreme Heat as the condition. Is this Extreme Heat as per the SRD/DMG or...

    (Adventure) Heroes of The Vesper Peaks (Uriel judging)

    After healing Jagos and Grog, Jaret rifles through his healer's kit looking for something to help Grog fight off the effects of the disease. After a few moments, he pulls out some herbs, crushes them, and mixes them with water. Jaret offers it to Grog, saying Here drink this. It tastes bitter...

    (Adventure) Heroes of The Vesper Peaks (Uriel judging)

    Jaret examines Grog and Jagos (Heal 7) to determine which is more in need of his last Cure Light Wounds of the day. The less severely injured of the two receives a Cure Minor Wounds (1pt). So focused is he on taking care of them that he ignores everything else until he's done. Jaret keeps his...

    Military Sci-Fi books and authors.

    I've enjoyed most of the books listed here. Another series you might want to consider is the Belisarius series by David Drake and Eric Flint. It's an alternate history where forces from the future try to change the past - one working through Byzantine Rome and the other through an Indian...

    (Adventure) Heroes of The Vesper Peaks (Uriel judging)

    Jaret continues to direct his lantern's light where it will do the most good. If the creature looks relatively unharmed, he casts bless on the party. Otherwise he keeps an eye out for other creatures, particularly any that might be coming up behind the party.

    [Jan05] What are you reading?

    I tried reading Gardens of the Moon by Steven Erikson. Unfortunately, after a hundred pages, I had no idea who the characters were or what they were doing, so I gave up. It struck me a somewhat like George R. R. Martin's books (I couldn't get into those either). Anyhow, since my wife likes...
