    Death, Dying and Burial: Fantasy Cremation

    You might consider a holy spell like flame strike. As an alternative, a shaped- Wall of Fire to make it a pillar or column of flame that burns for an extended period. Sounds like you want a relatively common or inexpensive method, so all folks can use it. However, in any wolrd you can have a...

    How Detailed is Find the Path?

    As the DM for our group, if I had to rule on this, I'd look first at who cast the spell. If a Bard cast it, I would assume a free thinking character would bring to mind an assortment of novel or at least unexpected options. Yes, a bard would think of all teh spells available to the party and...

    A Moral Dilemma

    As a DM I see this as a set up to get the PC's investigating the obvious problems in town. Nobody does stuff like this for no reason. The town must ahve a problem, or had one and there is something for the players to learn. Time to ask questions and see if their trust can be earned by deeds...

    I haven't seen any reviews of the Serenity RPG. Lacking a review, I'd still be interested in hearing from anyone who has played the game or at least looked over the book. thanks.

    Forgotten Realms Map

    Fallen Angel was looking for a FR map. The one I use is the four parter that came with Dragons 287-290. They are still available. http://paizo.com/dragon/products/issues/forgottenRealmsMap These four maps are big, and they can be "taped" together, although they don't perfectly match up due...

    Broken Bones

    In the campiagns I've played in (mostly with the same group), we always "knew" that a critical hit would break something. Accordingly nothing could be broken without a critical hit. Therefore we said that anything borken could be cured at once by a cure critical wounds spell. We allowed for...

    Enworld Map

    Fallen Angel, You may get a faster response on teh general forum, however, I found a site that has FR maps and stuff: http://myth-drannor.net/DlabraddathNet/z-Dlabraddath/Maproom.htm#Regions%20of%20Faerun Also, try Candlekeep.com for some extenstive FR support. The one other chance you have is...

    what house traditions do you have?

    We use a gambling die. It has the faces of 6 poker cards on it: ace, king, jack etc. The ace is a spade. If something really bad happens, or if a critical fumble is rolled, and I want to find out just how bad it might be, then I roll the gambling die. If a spade comes up, I say something...

    Artist Keith Parkinson passes away

    Indeed he will be missed. I bought his Dragon Tales screensaver set a few years ago. Excellent stuff. Several of his pictures have inspired more than one encounter in my dnd campaign, and to a certain extent his style in various pieces of art have helped shape the world my friends and I play...

    Looking for Turhan the Red in Anchorage...

    Bosco's is a gaming store and a sports memorabilia store in one. The one on Spenard Road that is. The one at the Dimond Mall is a little more mainstreamish, but still good. Geeks only (in the good sense). The one on Spenard Rd used to have a bulletin board on the wall for gamers seeking...

    Looking for Turhan the Red in Anchorage...

    I never played in a persistent world campaign (though many have full time DMs). I downloaded several modules and played single player stuff though, and some of those are great. For more on NWN, check out Neverwinter Vault. They have news, game ratings, module recommendations, custom portraits...

    Survival

    Deserts vary in their hostility. Was it like the huge Gobi desert with neverending wind and a trackless waste where even the locals fear to go? Was it like eastern Oregon (USA) where rabbits, snakes and lizards abound. Water can be found in many deserts - Far below the Sahara is one of the...

    Looking for Turhan the Red in Anchorage...

    Yeah, Bosco's is my spot for buying mini's. Pretty good selection. I'm not in the military anymore, and live in one spot so I can afford to collect stuff without worrying about storing it for deployments. Our chief DM is ex Air force and spent a lot of time training up players as he moved...

    Looking for Turhan the Red in Anchorage...

    Greetings, I just noticed that as I scanned over and said, Hey! Alabama?? I better see why Alabama and Hawaii are together-- I already know the answer. Anyway, You're the first poster I've seen that admitted to even being from Alaska, although there is a Kodiak pushpin on the map today...

    A concern with Spellcraft

    For my home brew: Divine magic is different than arcane or druidic. Any spell caster can recognize the type of magic even if it is foreign to him/her. Spellcraft checks only work within your own field of magic, unless you have seen a particular spell worked by one of the other classes and have...

    Do the PCs follow the same rules as everyone else?

    I use etools for every one of my npcs but I don't always develop them fully. I don't have time to fully develop spellcasters so I fudge them a bit with a few extra HP, and maybe there spells do a bit extra damage (maybe an extra d6). But no metamagic feats factored in. Fighter types get extra...

    Removed From Thread

    As the main DM I don't employ such stirct rules of training and down time. However, I do from time to time, simply say that we are at a breakaing point and when we return next week, two years will have passed. Then I ask them to think about that and the next week we talk over how each would...

    Anyone have a list of Monstrous Humanoids?

    Has such a list been compiled from the WOTC books? A key NPC, that one of the Players controls for me, added a level of ranger. Monstrous Humanoid is the favored enemy and I'd like a quick list, if one is already out there, of those critters. If you know a link, I'd appreciate hearing about...
